Strelka Park
Стрелка
A headland park at the confluence of the Kotorosl and Volga rivers. According to legend, Prince Yaroslav founded the city here, and a millennium monument stands on the site.
Strelka sits on a headland where two rivers meet. Legend says that Grand Prince Yaroslav slew a bear here and founded the city. The park has a monument marking the city's millennium in 2010, a large flowerbed arranged in the shape of the city coat of arms, and fountains that run on summer evenings. Next to it is the rebuilt Dormition Cathedral. Walk to the tip of the headland to see where the two rivers meet. The park connects to the Volga riverside promenade and is free to visit.
