Zavolzhsk is located in the Ivanovo region. Zavolzhsk does not stand out much among the small industrial cities of Central Russia. The names of composers A. S. Arensky and A. P. Borodin, astronomer F. A. Bredikhin, and the great Russian playwright A. N. Ostrovsky are associated with the city.
There are few attractions in the city.
1 City House of Culture
(second mansion of the Burnaev-Kurochkins), Frunze St., no. 1.
2 Ruzsky Estate (Icy Keys). An estate of the late 19th - early 20th
centuries on the upper terrace of the Volga bank next to the bridge to
Kineshma. It is under reconstruction and is surrounded by a fence.
Abandoned manor park.
3 Porozovsky Ugor. Located 300 m from the
Ruzsky estate, it offers a beautiful view of the Volga and Kineshma.
4 Zavolzhsky City Museum (the first mansion of the Burnaev-Kurochkins),
Frunze St., no. 2.
You can get there using the same methods as to the city of Kineshma,
then by bus to Zavolzhsk (30-40 minutes). However, if you want to get to
Kineshma from Zavolzhsk or from Zavolzhsk to Kineshma, then you cannot
count on walking; in any case, you will have to use transport. The
cities are located on different banks of the Volga River and are
connected by a road bridge. You cannot cross it on foot; you will most
likely be stopped by the guards at the security booth. Use a vehicle to
cross. The best way to do this is by bus: crossing the bridge costs 56
rubles, and there is a bus stop next to the exit to the bridge. You can
also use a bicycle, or, of course, a car.
By plane
There is no
airport in the city; the nearest one is in Ivanovo.
By train
There is no train station in Zavolzhsk; there are railway tracks, but
they are used only for cargo transportation. The nearest train station
is in Kineshma.
By car
113 km from Ivanovo past Vichuga and
Kineshma.
It is better to get from Kostroma along the right bank
of the Volga through Privolzhsk and Vichuga (140 km) or along the left
bank through Sudislavl and Ostrovskoye (130 km). The second route,
although shorter, has a traditionally worse road surface. The shortest
route (86 km) from Kostroma through Kolshevo is possible for the most
extreme sports enthusiasts, and only in dry weather, since there are
several kilometers of dirt road on the border of the regions, and a
partially collapsed bridge across Poksha has long been in need of
repair. Nevertheless, navigators and atlases can suggest such a route.
An alternative could be the 110-kilometer route through
Krasnoye-on-Volga and Novlyanskoye, but it is only justified if you plan
to visit something along this route (for example, the Kazan Church in
the village of Semenovskoye).
By bus
From five o'clock in the
morning until eleven o'clock in the evening, the Kineshma - Zavolzhsk
and Zavolzhsk - Kineshma buses run at intervals of 10-20 minutes (after
eight in the evening at 20-40 minutes). The cost of travel only in
Kineshma or Zavolzhsk is 19 rubles, crossing the road bridge connecting
the cities is 56 rubles, the full route is 56 rubles. A route from
Zavolzhsk to Kineshma with a final stop further than the Kineshma
station square will cost 75 rubles.
On the ship
There has been
no river passenger connection with the city since 2003, when the bridge
across the Volga was built. There are also no regular flights to
Kineshma.
The city has two intra-city bus routes No. 1 “Embankment - Polyclinic” and No. 3 “Fibra - Polyclinic”, as well as one bus route that goes to Kineshma through the entire city with all stops. There are less regular commuter services to Vozdvizhenye, Novlyanskoye, Zarechny, Zhazhlevo, Novinki, Kolshevo and Fedoscino, which are often combined with traffic to Kineshma.

You need to be careful when being on city streets at night. At night, lighting in the city is often turned off, and in many courtyards there are no streetlights at all.
Located on the left bank of the Volga River (Gorky Reservoir), opposite the city of Kineshma, with which it is connected by the Kineshma highway bridge, 105 km northeast of Ivanovo. 4 km from the Northern Railway station of the same name.
The village of Vladychnoye (Epiphany - after the Church of the
Epiphany) in the Kineshma district of the Kostroma province has been
known at least since the 17th century. In the middle of the 19th
century, a paper spinning and paper weaving factory (later a fiber
factory) was built on the territory of the modern city, and in 1871 a
sulfuric acid plant was built (one of the oldest chemical enterprises in
Russia, which turned 140 years old in 2011).
On February 20,
1934, the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee
decided to “Establish a workers’ settlement under the name Zavolzhye as
part of the following settlements in the Kineshma region: at the
chemical plant and the Fibra and Privolzhanka factories, Kuzhlevka,
Zhilinsky, Tikhomirovsky, Novy, Chirkovsky, Aleksinsky, Vladychny,
Chirkov, Skriptsov, Zhilin, Urakov, Myasnev and Ryabininsky with the
Trans-Volga hospital.”
Upon receiving city status on October 4,
1954, it was renamed Zavolzhsk.
On October 9, 1968 it became a
regional center.
The main industrial enterprises of Zavolzhsk: “Zavolzhsky Chemical Plant named after. M. V. Frunze" (production of dyes, etc.) - city-forming enterprise, fiber factory (fiber sheets, suitcases, etc.), factory "Zarechye-Service" (underwear knitwear, hosiery), "Zavolzhsklen" , "Zavolzhskzhelezobeton", food industry enterprises, timber industry enterprise.
