The sights of the Urals are numerous and varied. They say that there are more of them here than in Paris. Famous places are scattered throughout the Urals from South to Polar.
There are two main types of attractions. These are memorable and natural places. The latter are unique in their beauty: there are many rivers, rocks, caves, steppes in the Urals. An important role is played here geographical position this region: it is located at the intersection of Europe and Asia. The Ural is located on the most ancient ridge, to which European flora and fauna adjoin on one side, and Asian ones on the other.
Ural memorable places are closely connected with the ancient history of the Stone Age, the history of the development of the region in the 17-18 centuries, the life of the family of monarchs in Yekaterinburg. It should be noted that the history of the Ural region is not as long as it is full of various events. Every year, this historical and natural site is visited by thousands of tourists from both Russia and other countries.

Part of the Ural Mountains from the Kosvinsky Kamen massif in the south to the bank of the Shchugor River in the north is called the Northern Ural. In this place, the width of the Ural Range is 50-60 kilometers. As a result of the rise of ancient mountains and the impact of subsequent glaciations and modern frost weathering, the territory has a mid-mountainous relief, with flat tops.
The Northern Urals are very popular with tourists. Of particular interest are the rocks and remnants of the Man-Pupu-Nier, Torre-Porre-Iz, Muning-Tump massifs. The main peaks of this part of the Urals are located away from the watershed ridge: Konzhakovsky Kamen (1569 meters), Denezhkin Kamen (1492 meters), Chistop (1292), Otorten (1182), Kozhim-Iz (1195), .jpg)
The northernmost peak of the Ural mountain system is Mount Telposiz in Komi. The facility is located on the territory of the republic. Mount Telposiz in Komi is composed of quartzite sandstones, crystalline schists and conglomerates. On the slopes of Mount Telposiz in Komi, a taiga forest grows - mountain tundra. Translated from the language of the local population, oronim means “Nest of the Winds”.
The Subpolar Urals is one of the most beautiful regions of our Motherland. Its ridges stretch in a wide arc from the headwaters of the Khulga River in the north to Mount Telposiz in the south. The area of the mountainous part of the region is about 32,000 km2.
The poorly explored harsh nature, the abundance of fish in rivers and lakes, in the taiga of berries and mushrooms attracts travelers here. Good connections along the North railroad, on steamships and boats along the Pechora, Usa, Ob, Severnaya Sosva and Lyapin, as well as a network of airlines, allow the development of water, pedestrian, water, hiking and ski routes in the Subpolar Urals with the intersection of the Ural ridge or along its western and eastern slopes.
A characteristic feature of the relief of the Subpolar Urals is the high altitude of ridges with alpine relief forms, the asymmetry of its slopes, deep dissection by through transverse valleys and gorges, and the significant height of the passes. The highest peaks are in the center of the Subpolar Urals.
The absolute height of the passes across the main watershed separating Europe from Asia, and through the ridges located to the west of it, is from 600 to 1500 m above sea level. The relative heights of the peaks near the passes are 300-1000 m. The passes on the Sablinsky and Impenetrable ranges are especially high and difficult to pass, the slopes of which end in steep-walled kars. The most easily passable passes through the Research Ridge (from 600 to 750 m above sea level) with relatively gentle insignificant ascents that allow for easy dragging are located in the southern part of the ridge between the upper reaches of the Puyva (right tributary of the Shchekurya) and Torgovaya (right tributary of the Shchugor), as well as between the upper reaches of the Shchekurya, Magnya (Lyapin basin) and Bolshoi Molotov (right tributary of the Shchugor).
In the area of Narodnaya Mountain and on the Narodo-Ityinsky ridge, the height of the passes is 900-1200 m, but here, too, many of them pass paths along which the portage from the upper reaches of the Khulga (Lyapin), Khaimai, Grubei, Khalmer'ya, peoples to the upper reaches of the Lemva tributaries are relatively easy , on Kozhim and Balbanyo (Usa basin).
The Subpolar Urals is one of the most beautiful regions of our Motherland. Its ridges stretch in a wide arc from the headwaters of the Khulga River in the north to Mount Telposiz in the south. The area of the mountainous part of the region is about 32,000 km2.
located 20 km south. from the village of Arkhangelskoye, to the east. slope of the ridge. Ulutau, composed of Devonian and Carboniferous limestones.
The entrance to the cave is at the height. 70m above the level of the river M. Askyn. Askinskaya Ice Cave is a large hall for. 104m, max. lat. 61m and h. 26m.
The temperature in the cave is kept below 0 ° С all year round. It contains 17 ice stalagmites 8-11 m in height with a diameter of up to 2.2 m and 20 - up to 1 m in height. In 1926, according to G.V. Vakhrushev and I.G. Petrov, there were only 8 stalagmites. The amount of ice during this period has increased by 5-6 times.
The reason for the preservation of the cold and the formation of ice in the cave is the abundance of precipitation in the area of the Askinskaya ice cave, due to the barrier nature of the ridge. Ulutau; karst rocks, which are easily permeable to moisture in the caves .; air streams cooled to the forge. valleys; sowing. the location of the inlet; heat-insulating cover of the entrance made of gravelly deluvium with clay filler; dense forest, contributing to the reduction of soil temperature due to increased transpiration of moisture from the soil. In the cave. bones were found decomp. w-ny, incl. antlers of an ancient deer. This testifies to the millennia-old age of the ice shell. On the rocky outcrops, there are relict districts: northern woodsia, aconite oak, stinking basil, Mattiol's cortusa, etc. 
The cave is a large grotto, the entrance of which is the glacier. For convenience, a ladder is installed at the entrance, but for safety reasons it would be nice to have 30 meters of good rope.
The most beautiful thing is in Askinskaya in winter, when bizarre ice drifts and figures form in it, in which, if you wish, you can see magical animals. In summer, the temperature in the cave decreases slightly, and the figures lose their outlines, and the glacier area is shrinking - the floor of the far part of the grotto turns into clay porridge.
GEOLOGY
The Ilmenogorsk complex is located in the southern part of the Sysertsko-Ilmenogorsk anticlinorium of the East Ural uplift, has a folded-block structure and is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks of various compositions. Of greatest interest here are numerous unique pegmatous veins, in which topaz, aquamarine, phenakite, zircon, sapphire, tourmaline, amazonite, and various rare-metal minerals are found. Here, for the first time in the world, 16 minerals were discovered - ilmenite, ilmenorutil, potassium sadanagaite (potassium ferrisadanagaite), cancrinite, macarochinite, monazite- (Ce), polyakovite- (Ce), samarskite- (Y), bindite, ushkovite, fergusonite-beta ), fluoromagnesioarfvedsonite, fluoroorichterite, chiolite, chevkinite- (Ce), eshinite- (Ce).

GEOGRAPHY
The relief of the western part is low-mountainous. The average heights of the ridges (Ilmensky and Ishkulsky) are 400-450 m above sea level, the maximum elevation is 747 m. The eastern foothills are formed by low elevations. More than 80% of the area is occupied by forests, about 6% - by meadows and steppes. The tops of the mountains are covered with larch-pine forests. Pine forests prevail in the south, pine-birch and birch forests in the north. On the western slopes of the Ilmen mountains there is an old pine forest massif. There are areas of larch forests, stony, grass-forb and shrub steppes, moss swamps with cranberries and wild rosemary. The flora contains more than 1200 plant species, many endemic, relict and rare species. There are ermine, polecat, Siberian weasel, wolf, lynx, flying squirrel, hares - white hare and hare, brown bear comes in. Elk and roe deer are few in number. Sika deer and beaver have been acclimatized. Of the birds, grouse are common - wood grouse, black grouse, hazel grouse, gray partridge. Whooper swan and gray crane nest in the reserve, rare birds are noted - white-tailed eagle, burial ground, peregrine falcon, osprey, saker falcon, little bustard.
Since 1930, there has been a mineralogical museum founded by A.E. Fersman, which displays more than 200 different minerals found in the Ilmen ridge, including topaz, corundum, amazonite, etc.
In 1991, a branch was organized - the historical and landscape archaeological monument "Arkaim" with an area of 3.8 thousand hectares. Located in the steppe foothills of the eastern Urals, in the Karagan valley. More than 50 archaeological sites are preserved here: Mesolithic and Neolithic sites, burial grounds, settlements of the Bronze Age, and other historical sites. The fortified settlement Arkaim of the 17th - 16th centuries is of particular importance. BC e.
Location:
Gremyachinsky district of the Perm region.
Monument type: Geomorphological.
Brief description: Remnants of weathering in the Lower Carboniferous quartzite sandstones.
Status: Landscape natural monument of regional significance.
A city turned to stone.
The city is located on the main peak of the Rudyansky Spoi ridge, the absolute height of which is 526 m above sea level. It is a powerful rock mass, composed of fine-grained quartz sandstones of the Lower Carboniferous, which are part of a coal-bearing strata formed in the delta of a large river.
The massif is cut by deep, up to 8-12 m, cracks from 1 to 8 m wide both in the meridional and latitudinal directions, which creates the illusion of deep and narrow perpendicularly intersecting streets, streets and lanes of the ancient abandoned city.
Tchaikovsky Museum .jpg)
In 1837, Ilya Petrovich Tchaikovsky was appointed the new head of the Kamsko-Votkinsky district. Upon arrival from St. Petersburg to Votkinsk, he, together with his wife Alexandra Andreevna, settled on Lord Street in a spacious, comfortable house - the state apartment of the mountain chiefs of an iron-making plant.
A rare atmosphere of love, exceptional harmony, and mutual respect reigned in the Tchaikovsky family. They spent 11 happiest years of their lives in Votkinsk; four of their children were born here. On May 7, 1840, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the future genius of Russian music, was born.
For over 200 years, the Tchaikovskys' house has been the main attraction of Votkinsk. The house was built in 1806 in the "classicism" style by the architect N.А. Andreevsky. From the moment the “state apartment” was built until the revolution of 1917, the families of 18 plant managers replaced each other in the house. The Tchaikovsky family lived in Votkinsk for 11 years: from 1837 to 1848. In 1840, the future composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in house number 1 on Lord Street.
In 1918-1919. the house served as a headquarters for the White Guards. It housed the office and counterintelligence. Then the city was occupied by the Red Guards, from the house on Lord's, they led the liquidation of the Izhevsk-Votkinsk uprising.
After the revolution, the house was occupied by various public organizations: the Metalworkers' Club, the Youth Union, and a seven-year school. Naturally, the building soon became abandoned.
The Ural-Guberlinskoe gorge is an amazing corner of the nature of the Orenburg region. A gorge with a turbulent river is not in the mountains, but among the flat steppe plain, on which the mounds of the ancient nomads - the Sarmatians - rise.
The Guberli River Gorge is one of the oldest on Earth, it is a variety of shales of the Proterozoic era. As a result of erosional destruction, they form picturesque rock sculptures that resemble outlandish animals or birds. In ancient times, a pine forest settled on the shale. Pine forest, which grows mainly on sandy soils - this is the southernmost pine outpost in the Urals.
In the depths of the gorge under the rocks, wonderful world relict plants: ferns, mosses, lichens, rare flowering plants.
The water flow of a relatively large size, as a rule, is constant and fed by the drainage of atmospheric precipitation from the entire catchment area by groundwater (underground recharge). Guberlya - River in the Orenburg region, right tributary of the river. Ural. Length - 110 km. The basin area is 18.6 thousand square kilometers. From the Tatars. guberdeu - "seethe, bubble".
In the Karagai region, Guberlya looks like a real mountain river. It originates 6 kilometers above the pine forest, feeding on numerous springs. There are more than 10 springs with cold water at its source. Guberlya runs merrily between the rocks, now forming small waterfalls, now pouring into picturesque stretches, now completely hiding between trees and huge stones. In some places, polished mica schists, sparkling in the sun, serve as its bed.
BASHKIRIA
We leave the Orenburg region and the next one on our way will be
- a cave in Bashkiria, one of the largest limestone caves in the Urals. It is located on the western slope of the Kibiz ridge, in the interfluve of the Belaya and Nugush rivers, at the confluence of the Sumgan and Kutuk dry lands.
Natural monument.
The length of the cave is 9 860 m, the depth is 130 m.
Forms a labyrinth with horizontal and inclined galleries, elongated in the southwest and southeast directions. The labyrinth consists of 3 tiers connected by wells. The cave has many large halls with an abundance of drip formations. The entrance well has a depth of 70 m.
The air temperature reaches 6.5 ° C. An underground river flows in the lower tier (in the southern direction, the average water discharge is 0.3 m³ / s). There is about 600 m² of perennial ice near the entrance well.
In winter, the walls of the entrance well and a number of halls are covered with frost crystals; there are ice stalactites and stalagmites.
The volume of its cave cavities is 350,000 cubic meters.
The name of the cave is translated from Bashkir as follows: "sumgan" - "dived", "kutuk" - "well".
It must be said that Kutuk-Sumgan is one of the most complex, if not the most complex cave system in the Urals. Descent into it requires good speleological preparation and good equipment.
The best time to pass Kutuk-Sumgan is autumn. At this time, there is the least amount of ice in the shaft of the mine and the danger of icefall is minimized. Less risk of ropes icing.

Geography of the Ural Mountains.

The Ural Mountains are one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, as well as the largest and most famous mountain system in Russia. The Ural Mountains were formed according to the assumptions of various geologists about 400 million years ago. We look at the mountains of the Urals. ( 17 photo)
Ural mountains represent a mountain system between the East European and West Siberian plains, roughly speaking, they are the border between Europe and Asia. The Ural Mountains were formed by the collision of two African and Eurasian lithospheric plates, as a result, one end piled on the other plate, crushing it under itself.
Length of the Ural Mountains is more than 2000 km, and the width ranges from 40 to 150 km. As you can see, the length of the mountains is quite large. It is not for nothing that in the first mention of the 11th century, the Ural Mountains were called the Earth Belt. The Russians also called them the Big Stone, the Siberian Stone and the Belt.
As for the name of the mountains, the term "Ural Mountains" was first mentioned in the report of V. N. Tatishchev already in the 17th century. Then he and his colleague P.I. Rychkov made a scientific expedition to the local open spaces, and to be honest, he was amazed at the richness of rocks in the structure of the mountains. But the respected Vasily Nikolayevich did not come up with the name for these stunning mountains himself, but only borrowed their designation from the Bashkir people living here, and honestly stated this.
Translated from the Bashkir language, “үr * ör " height, elevation, as a result, the word was transformed into the present Ural, although to this day there are stormy disputes around the formation of the name of the mountains. It is also worth noting that thanks to the wide popularity of the Ural Mountains, the geographical region of Russia received the same name, today we all know the region - the Ural.
Many mountain systems are the birthplace of crystal clear mountain streams, which subsequently pour into quite impressive rivers. The Ural Mountains are no exception, hundreds of mountain streams murmur and shimmer along the entire length of the Ural mountain range, but there are also large rivers, such as: Kama, the Ural river of the same name (length 2428 km), Belaya river, Pechora, Chusovaya.
The height of the Ural Mountains was set at 1895 meters above sea level, this is the height of Mount Narodnaya, it is she who is the top. In the mountain system of the Urals there are a number of equally well-known mountain ranges: Payer (height 1499 meters); Manaraga (height 1662 meters); Telposiz (height 1617 meters); Donkey (1119 meters); Yamantau (1640 meters).
To all the other advantages of the Ural Mountains, I would like to add the fact that the mountain range of the Urals is a real treasury of minerals. Believe it or not, 48 types of minerals out of 55 mined by Russia are presented here. V the greatest number The Ural Mountains include the following ores: copper pyrite (copper), skarn-magnetite (magnetic iron ore), titanium-magnetite (titanium), nickel (nickel), chromite (chromium). Precious metals: placers of platinum, gold, silver.
The mountains of the Urals are also rich in deposits of coal. Oil and gas are currently being extracted on a large scale. But the main treasure of the Ural Mountains is precious stones, there are precious ores from which they get: emeralds, diamonds, amethyst, aquamarine, jasper, rhodonite, malachite and others. Thus, in the Soviet years, most of the precious stones were mined here, as well as some specimens were made from local gems.
There is no doubt that the Urals are rich and great, but it is also amazing. a nice place, the unique virgin nature in combination with sheer rocks, carved by the action of the winds, has always attracted and inspired many artists and poets. The mountains of the Urals evoke an atmosphere that is not conveyed by words, such greatness in harmony with picturesque landscapes makes them simply unearthly.
Many writers like to identify the Ural Mountains with a piggy bank or even a repository of all earthly wealth and values that may be hidden somewhere in the depths, under a complex system. underground passages, guarded by vigilant guards, and to get to which, alas, the common man is not destined to.
This is how we saw one of the most beautiful mountains in the world - the Ural Mountains. Still, it is better to see once than hear a hundred times. Feel free to comment on your opinion and enjoy your travel experience.

The Sevastyanov House is a famous mansion in Yekaterinburg, a kind of symbol of the city. The house was built in the first quarter of the 19th century on the banks of the Iset River and belonged to the Ural businessman collegiate assessor Nikolai Ivanovich Sevastyanov. The first information about the mansion dates back to 1817, and Sevastyanov received it in 1860.
The style of the building is neo-gothic, and the rotunda is built in a purely gothic style. The construction, which surprised and delighted the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg, influenced the appearance in the city of more buildings built in the neo-Gothic style.
Since 1874, the building housed the District Court, then the Yekaterinburg District Court, and after the revolution the city trade unions were in session. Hence the second name of the mansion - the House of Trade Unions - appeared. In 2008, the building was thoroughly restored and prepared for the SCO summit. During the reconstruction, the building was restored to its historical facade colors - white, green and terracotta. Sevastyanov's house belongs to the cultural monuments of federal significance and is under state protection.

Koiva river
The Koiva River is located in the Perm Territory.
The name "Koiva" is derived from the Permian Komi words "koi" - "spray" and "va" - "water", which fully reflects the turbulent nature of this river. During floods in the middle and lower reaches, the current speed reaches 10-12 kilometers per hour. The total length of the channel is 180 kilometers. Koiva flows into the Chusovaya River. The main tributaries of the Koiva are Biser, Kusya, Kyrma, Olkhovka, Tyrym, Saranka, Tiskos.
The river enjoys a well-deserved popularity among rafting enthusiasts due to the abundance of difficult sections of all possible types - rapids, rifts, combs, etc. The Koiva's tourist value is complemented by luxurious views of the Ural nature - a mixed coniferous-deciduous forest is interspersed with rocky areas along the banks.

Spring Kurgazak
KURGAZAK, a mineral spring flowing from the spurs of the Karatau mountain range on the left bank of the Yuryuzan River, 3 km south of the Yangantau resort. It has a large flow rate - 100-125 l / s and is characterized by a constant temperature at all seasons (16-16.50C). Alkaline reaction - pH 7.3, mineralization - 0.6 g / l. Belongs to the class of low-mineralized canteens and mineral waters... Hydrocarbonate water, magnesium-calcium: НСО3 84-87, Ca 57-60, Mg 34 equiv. %. Contains active trivalent arsenous acid (3.9 mg / l).
Aisuvak is a mountain located in Russia, in the Urals, in the Baymaksky region, in Bashkortostan in the very center of the village of Stary Sibay. It is one of the mountains of the Irandek massif - the easternmost ridge of the Southern Urals, its height is 544 meters.
Just like Irandek, the mountain is composed of limestones, diabases, porphyrites, and in the north - Devonian volcanics. In the eastern part of the mountain range, there is the Ibrahimov waterfall. The mountain range is divided into southern and northern parts. Ancient settlement settlements, burial grounds, abandoned villages and workshops were discovered near Aisuvak.
Mountain goats, mouflons and small rodents live on the mountain.

Man-Pupu-Ner plateau
One of the little-known and fascinating places in Russia is the Man-Pupuner plateau, lost in the Ural mountains. In the Mansi language "Man-Pup-ner" means "Small mountain of idols". This name very accurately reflects the reality. Seven huge (up to 40 meters high) stone blocks-statues very much resemble some ancient gods.
Stone colossi are weathering products. Millions of years ago, mountains rose on this place, which collapsed over the millennia. Dissimilar rocks with different densities collapsed at different rates, which led to the formation of such bizarre relief forms.
Of course, this place, by the way, is quite remote from settlements covered with legends. Most of those who visit these places note the unique, pacifying energy of this place. Previously, the plateau was considered sacred and even climbing the mountain was forbidden.
A variety of excursions and routes are organized on Man-Pupu-ner. But it should be borne in mind that only more or less prepared tourists will master this trip.

Stella Europe-Asia
Among the sights of the Urals, 2 main types can be distinguished: natural and memorable places. Beautiful natural places The Urals are represented by rivers, lakes, rocks, caves, steppes. The geographical position of the region at the junction of Europe and Asia plays a special role here. The Ural is located on the oldest of the ridges - the Ural - where on one side it is adjoined by flora and fauna of the European type, and on the other - Asian.
National Park "Zyuratkul"
National park Zyuratkul is located in the Chelyabinsk region. It stretches 57 kilometers from north to south and 28 kilometers from west to east. The national park is located, as it were, at the junction of Europe and Asia, and is a unique place where two natural zones meet: taiga and steppe, due to which the flora and fauna of the park is very diverse.
Lake Zyuratkul is located on the territory of the park. Traces of the presence of an ancient man were found on its shore.
