Ufa summed up the results of the "Route of the Year 2024" competition, in which the best tourist projects were identified, and projects from Mordovia were among the winners.
In the nomination "The best route for a family holiday", the first place was taken by the project "Path to the origins". It offers a variety of activities for travelers in the village of Parakino, near the ethnocenter "House of Traditions". In summer you can go hiking or cycling, and in winter you can go skiing.
The Path to the Origins project was implemented thanks to a state subsidy within the framework of the national Tourism and Hospitality Industry project. In the village of Parakino, three routes for tourists were developed with these funds.
In the category "The best city excursion route", the eco-route in the center of Saransk took the honorable second place.
