🚶 Yauza Embankment

The embankment of the small Yauza River, with walking paths, small bridges and views of old factory buildings.

The Yauza is the largest tributary of the Moskva River within the capital: it is 48 km long, 27.6 km of it in the city.
The river is first mentioned in a chronicle under the year 1156 as the Auza.
The embankments of the navigable stretch were mostly built by 1940; the Syromyatnichesky Lock appeared 3 km from the mouth at the same time.
There are 33 pedestrian bridges across the Yauza.
Beyond Lefortovo Bridge, on the right bank, stands the Tupolev design bureau building, which once housed the "Tupolev sharashka" (prison design bureau).
