Culture and sights

Ten kilometers west of the city, in the Juscha district on the Tesa , a left tributary of the Kljasma , is the village of Cholui , one of the three places in the area famous for its folk lacquer painting ; the others are Mstjora to the south and Palech further north. There is a museum of Choluier art , in which, in addition to lacquer painting, embroidery made here can also be seen.

Economy and Infrastructure

In Juscha there are companies in the textile and wood processing industry. Significant amounts of peat are extracted in the area.

The nearest railway station is in Vyasniki, about 40 kilometers south on the Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod route , already in Vladimir Oblast . There is a road connection to Vyazniki, as well as towards Shuja .

From 1901 a narrow-gauge railway network was built around Juscha, initially mainly for peat transport. It gradually grew together with the network around Balachna in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and reached the city of Shuja in a westerly direction. The entire network with a length of about 360 kilometers in the 1970s and one of its most important train stations in Juscha was one of the most important in the Soviet Union . In the sparsely populated swampy area with a relatively wide-meshed road network, the narrow-gauge railway played an important role in passenger traffic. From the late 1980s, the network experienced its decline; In 2004 the last section of the line was closed.
