10 places to go in Ufa – Travel and life abroad

The splendor of Bashkortostan’s nature amazes even an experienced traveler. Endless mountain ranges, untouched coniferous forests with relict grasses, crystal clear lakes and fast-moving rivers carrying their waters along steep cliffs.

Ufa is the capital of this fabulous region. The name of the city translates as “dark water”. A million-plus city with the lowest population density and the only one in Russia that does not have a completely pedestrian street.

Where to go in Ufa? The most interesting places are here!

No. 10. Evangelical Lutheran Church

https://www.kirchufa.ru/

No, I’m not suggesting that you change your religion. It’s just that this building in the Romanesque style looks very unusual among the urban landscape of Ufa. In addition, it fully reflects the multinational history of the city: more than a century ago, Germans, Latvians and Estonians came here to pray. The service was conducted in their native languages.

Unfortunately, in 1930, the city authorities transferred the church to a repair plant, and for the next 70 years it turned into a warehouse. In 2000, it was returned to the community and restoration work began. After some time, the service resumed.

Today the church is used for its intended purpose, open Bible readings are held there, lectures are listened to and films are watched. Anyone can enter. The Ufa community actively cooperates with other Evangelical Lutheran churches in the country.

Excursions

Regardless of the time of year, travelers discovering Ufa can benefit from the experience and knowledge of local guides. In a short time they will show the main attractions of the city and share interesting facts about its history.
