Getting there
Without a car
Use the Moscow Metro, MCC and suburban rail stops along the Yauza corridor. Practical access points include VDNKh, Botanichesky Sad, Rostokino, Belokamennaya and other stations close to the river and park sections.
By car
Choose a specific section of the Yauza valley and park near an official city parking area, a park entrance or a metro station. A linear end-to-end walk is easier with public transport.
