For the first time I went beyond the Ural ridge. Main Ural ridge. Main Ural Range: GPS coordinates

The Main Ural Range - and this is the official geographical name of the mountain range, stretching from north to south for 52 kilometers. The Main Ural Ridge is a kind of stone belt, a natural border between the Perm and Sverdlovsk regions, between Europe and Asia.

Taiga fir-spruce and cedar forests reach up the ridge up to 800-900 meters, then there are birch forests and alpine meadows, and the tops of the ridge are kurumniks. In the northern part of the ridge there are steeper slopes with a slope of up to 45 degrees. The western slope of the ridge is gentler, and even in winter you will not need special equipment. But in snowy winters the snow here is deep.

At the foot of the eastern slope lies the border of the Denezhkin Kamen reserve, one of the few places where virgin flora and fauna have been preserved, which is a generally recognized reference area of ​​the northern taiga. The highest point of the ridge (1410 meters) is named after the outstanding German naturalist A. Humboldt, who traveled throughout Russia and, in particular, studied the Ural region in 1829 at the personal invitation of the Russian Emperor. As a result of the trip, these scientists wrote a major work, in which one of the chapters was called “The System of the Urals Mountains.”

If you look to the north from the top of Humboldt, you can see two more peaks - Mount Pallas, named after another Russian-German naturalist who visited here in 1770, and Mount Lepekhin, which bears the name of the academician of wildlife taxonomy, the first Russian researcher of medicinal plants Ivan Ivanovich Lepekhin.

Other significant peaks: Bolshaya Khodovskaya Sopka (1338.8 m), Sosvinsky Kamen (954 m) and Kazansky Kamen (1035 m).

The entire chain of the Ural Mountains stretches in a continuous hill almost from the Arctic Ocean to the Caspian steppes. But why is such a truly great phenomenon of the lithosphere called so unpoetically? In fact, the rock massif is so significant in height and extent that no one dares to call it anything other than the Ural Range or simply the Main Range.

In ancient times these mountains were called Riphean. The Mansi people call it Ner - “stone”, “stone wall”. It has always served local residents as a natural barrier to the prevailing western air flow. These winds transport the bulk of precipitation, significant cloudiness, and form the temperature regime. The cold breath of the Arctic also has an effect. Winter here lasts 5-6 months, with snow cover on average 164 days a year.

The main Ural ridge is beautiful all year round, but it is worth considering that in winter the Kvarkush plateau and Zhigalan waterfalls - from October to the end of May - can only be reached by snowmobile.

How to get there

First you need to get to Severouralsk by car, this is the most convenient option, by bus (buses run from Yekaterinburg several times a day, cost about 1000 rubles, from Perm there is a direct flight without a transfer once a day, leaves in the morning, cost 1300 rubles. ) or by train to Serov or Ivdel, the distance from them to Severouralsk is 80-90 km. If your car is not off-road, then you will have to rent a car in advance.

For autotourists, you can spend at least two days (1 night) on the route, but this is during the longest summer days, in this case you will have time to see the GUH in the southern part and the Zhigalan waterfalls at dawn. There will be no time left for Kvarkush. Therefore, without taking into account the road, plan two overnight stays.

You can climb the northern part of the ridge, but this is still a route for real tourists, because you have to ford rivers and spend the night in a tent. You need to get along the Krivinskaya road to the Kriv base (60 km, 4 hours) or to the clearings, and there you need to find a path to the Sosva River, which you can ford, and then again look for a path through the swamp. To the foot of the GUKh - approximately 6-7 km. To spend the night, it is better to find a hut on the left bank of the Khodovaya River. And from here you can make radial exits to the Northern or Southern part of the ridge. In summer the road is very bad. Peaks convenient for visiting from the Kriv base: Mount Humboldt, Sportsmen-Skiers, Mount Pallas, Mount Lepekhina.

The southern part of the ridge can be reached along the gravel road to the Zhigalan waterfalls. We leave Severouralsk, drive through Pokrov-Uralsky and then in a straight line (60 km, 4 hours). Local residents even drive along the road in regular Zhiguli cars, but it’s better not to take risks.

If you walk along the ridge from south to north (40 km), of course, this is a route for professional tourists, it will take from 4 to 14 days, with overnight stays in tents on the ridge.

We went to Sosvinsky stone . Sosvinsky Stone is a mountain in the Northern Urals (Sverdlovsk region), adjacent to the Main Ural Range. It is called Sosvinsky Stone because it is located near the source of the Bolshaya Sosva River.

So, we went in the opposite direction, passing again. After some time, a beautiful one opened up to us.

I must say, we had one of the popular routes of the Northern Urals - “Zhigalansky waterfalls - Sosvinsky stone”

Base "Zvezda" on Sosvinsky stone.

Finally we arrived at a turning point, near which there was a sign welded from metal corners in the shape of a five-pointed star. It's only a short distance to the Zvezda tourist base. It works all year round. We arrived there around 5-6 pm. The base turned out to be quite decent for the taiga wilderness.

Dining room with attic, on the second floor there is a guest room with a dozen beds. There is a fireplace in the dining room and even a satellite TV. Two more houses for tourists; one is a barracks type - with about 10 rooms for two and three people, the other is smaller with 4 rooms, it is called a house with a fireplace. At the time we were there (2007), another house was being built. Electricity at the base comes from a generator and turns on in the evening. Heating is stove-water. There is a bathhouse. The toilet is outside. The cost of living is 500 rubles/day per person (2012 price), this includes bed linen, a bathhouse, and use of a kitchen; you must bring your own food. There are places for barbecues, places for tents, there is even a small wooden jump for skiers and some kind of football field with goals.

A stream flows between the buildings of the dining room and bathhouse, which then turns into the Bolshaya Sosva River, which merges with Malaya Sosva to form the Sosva River.

In general, you can relax quite well at the Zvezda base, despite the fact that all this is located in close proximity to the State University of Culture, because the camp site itself is located at an altitude of almost 700 m.

The nature here is beyond words, mesmerizing. Very beautiful sunsets, the sun sets just behind the mountains.

It was also very interesting to watch the clouds as they caught on the tops of the mountains.

Climbing Sosvinsky Stone.

The next day, the long-awaited climb to the GUKH. Our guide was one of the base workers. We crossed the stream and followed a path, not even a path, along a clearing in the forest, made by the base workers especially for tourists. Around there are old trees covered with moss and lichen, huge fern leaves. You walk like in a fairy tale in a dense forest. About 15 minutes later, rocky mountain slopes covered with open forests opened up. Gradually the climb became steeper, and so the nature changed and began to resemble mountain tundra with dwarf trees. Underfoot are huge boulders covered with moss.

- “Look, what is this? Water is dripping from the lower edge of the glacier, and there too, but now a small stream is flowing along the slope, gradually increasing. Wow, there are whole thickets of grass along the banks of this stream. So here it is, what kind of river.”

It's very close to the top. Five minutes and here she is. Oh, what beauty, the picture that opened up took everyone’s breath away. The top of the Sosvinsky stone is a wide plateau, on which, closer to the eastern side, there is a mountain of stone boulders 3-4 meters high, and the western part of the plateau is covered with vegetation and there is already Perm region. Approaching this side of the plateau, a view opens across the valley, and ridges and mountains and again mountains and ridges. Even your head begins to spin from overwhelming delight. There are also ridges of mountain ranges to the north and south. This is a whole mountainous country and there is no end to it.

If you look to the east, where we came from, the endless taiga with the island of our camp site stretches under your feet.

View from the mountains to the camp site.

Standing there at the top, you feel peace and tranquility, and boundless happiness.

What other routes can be laid from the Zvezda tourist center?

The climb to the Sosvinsky Stone itself took about 40-50 minutes for us, a group of people with no experience of hiking. Well, if you are prepared, have the appropriate clothes and shoes, you can go from Sosvinsky Stone further west through the valley to Kazansky Stone. And if you follow the ridge to the north, you can reach the Denezhkin Stone nature reserve. Or you can go along the source and reach the Bolshaya Sosva River. In general, it would be a fantasy, but any route can be invented.

The best time for tourism in the Northern Urals is the month of July, as it is the warmest, so to speak the Velvet season in these parts. In July, snow can still fall, and in August it is already a bit cold in the mountains, with a piercing icy wind at the top. Well, for those who are not afraid of snow or rain, come here all year round. Romance. Fortunately, the base, as I already said, is open year-round. In winter, ski tourists come here, you can come here and plow through the snowy expanses. By the way, you can ski here until July. Snow in the mountains does not melt for a long time.

There is such a wonderful place on mountainSosvinsky stone .

Between the East European and West Siberian plains. The length is more than 2000 (with Pai-Khoi and Mugodzhary - more than 2500) km, width from 40 to 150 km. There are many lakes, Lake Tavatuy is known (about 50 km north of Yekaterinburg), as well as the so-called Chelyabinsk lakes - several dozen large and small lakes located in the north of the Chelyabinsk and partly in the southeast of the Sverdlovsk regions. Some of them (Uvildy, Irtyash, Uelgi) have a length of more than 10 km. The Chelyabinsk lakes also include lakes Turgoyak, Shablish, Big Kasli and others.

Name

In ancient sources, the Urals are partly associated with the Riphean and more often with the Hyperborean mountains. According to Ptolemy Ural Mountains consist of the Rimnus mountains (Rimninus - the Yaik or Ufa river; Middle Urals), Noros, "Noros" - the Southern Urals, from which the Daix River flows (Ural?) and the northern part - the Hyperborean Riphean Mountains - clearly the watershed between the Caspian and Black Sea basins and the Baltic (Sarmatian Ocean), etc. Russian pioneers called it Stone; under the name Ural, these mountains were first mentioned in Russian sources at the end of the 17th century. The name Ural was introduced by V. Tatishchev from the Mansi “ur” (mountain). According to another version, this word is of Turkic origin.

Geological structure

The Ural Mountains were formed in the late Paleozoic during an era of intense mountain building (Hercynian folding). The formation of the Ural mountain system began in the late Devonian (about 350 million years ago) and ended in the Triassic (about 200 million years ago).

It is an integral part of the Ural-Mongolian folded geosynclinal belt. Within the Urals, deformed and often metamorphosed rocks of predominantly Paleozoic age come to the surface. The strata of sedimentary and volcanic rocks are usually strongly folded and disturbed by discontinuities, but in general form meridional stripes that determine the linearity and zoning of the structures of the Urals. From west to east the following stand out:

  • Pre-Ural marginal trough with a relatively flat bedding of sedimentary strata in the western side and more complex in the eastern;
  • zone of the western slope of the Urals with the development of intensely crumpled and thrust-disturbed sedimentary strata of the Lower and Middle Paleozoic;
  • The Central Ural uplift, where among the sedimentary strata of the Paleozoic and Upper Precambrian, in some places older crystalline rocks of the edge of the East European Platform emerge;
  • a system of troughs-synclinoriums of the eastern slope (the largest are Magnitogorsk and Tagil), made mainly of Middle Paleozoic volcanic strata and marine, often deep-sea sediments, as well as deep-seated igneous rocks breaking through them (gabbroids, granitoids, less often alkaline intrusions) - the so-called. greenstone belt of the Urals;
  • Ural-Tobolsk anticlinorium with outcrops of older metamorphic rocks and widespread development of granitoids;
  • The East Ural synclinorium, in many ways similar to the Tagil-Magnitogorsk synclinorium.

At the base of the first three zones, according to geophysical data, an ancient, Early Precambrian foundation is confidently traced, composed mainly of metamorphic and igneous rocks and formed as a result of several eras of folding. The most ancient, presumably Archean, rocks come to the surface in the Taratash ledge on the western slope of the Southern Urals. Pre-Ordovician rocks are unknown in the basement of the synclinoriums on the eastern slope of the Urals. It is assumed that the foundation of the Paleozoic volcanogenic strata of synclinoriums are thick plates of hypermafic rocks and gabbroids, which in some places come to the surface in the massifs of the Platinum Belt and other related belts; these plates may represent outliers of the ancient oceanic bed of the Ural geosyncline. In the east, in the Ural-Tobolsk anti-clinorium, outcrops of Precambrian rocks are quite problematic.

Paleozoic deposits of the western slope of the Urals are represented by limestones, dolomites, and sandstones, formed in conditions of predominantly shallow seas. To the east, deeper sediments of the continental slope can be traced in an intermittent strip. Even further east, within the eastern slope of the Urals, the Paleozoic section (Ordovician, Silurian) begins with altered volcanics of basaltic composition and jasper, comparable to the rocks of the bottom of modern oceans. In places higher up the section there are thick, also altered spilite-natro-liparite strata with deposits of copper pyrite ores. Younger sediments of the Devonian and partly Silurian are represented mainly by andesite-basalt, andesite-dacitic volcanics and greywackes, which correspond to the stage in the development of the eastern slope of the Urals when the oceanic crust was replaced by a transitional type crust. Carboniferous deposits (limestones, gray wackes, acidic and alkaline volcanics) are associated with the most recent, continental stage of development of the eastern slope of the Urals. At the same stage, the bulk of the Paleozoic, essentially potassium granites of the Urals intruded, forming pegmatite veins with rare valuable minerals. In the Late Carboniferous-Permian time, sedimentation on the eastern slope of the Urals almost stopped and a folded mountain structure formed here; On the western slope at that time, the Pre-Ural marginal trough was formed, filled with a thick (up to 4-5 km) thickness of clastic rocks carried down from the Urals - molasse. Triassic deposits are preserved in a number of depressions-grabens, the emergence of which in the north and east of the Urals was preceded by basaltic (trap) magmatism. Younger strata of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments of a platform nature gently overlap folded structures along the periphery of the Urals.

It is assumed that the Paleozoic structure of the Urals was formed in the Late Cambrian - Ordovician as a result of the splitting of the Late Precambrian continent and the spreading of its fragments, as a result of which a geosynclinal depression was formed with crust and sediments of the oceanic type in its interior. Subsequently, the expansion gave way to compression and the oceanic basin began to gradually close and be “overgrown” with newly forming continental crust; the nature of magmatism and sedimentation changed accordingly. The modern structure of the Urals bears traces of severe compression, accompanied by a strong transverse contraction of the geosynclinal depression and the formation of gently sloping scaly thrusts - nappes.

Minerals

The Urals are a treasury of various minerals. Of the 55 types of the most important minerals that were developed in the USSR, 48 are represented in the Urals. For the eastern regions of the Urals, the most typical deposits of copper pyrite ores (Gaiskoye, Sibaiskoye, Degtyarskoye deposits, Kirovgrad and Krasnouralsk groups of deposits), skarn-magnetite (Goroblagodatskoye, Vysokogorskoye, Magnitogorskoye deposits), titanium-magnetite (Kachkanarskoye, Pervouralskoye), oxide nickel ores (group of Orsko-Khalilovsky deposits) and chromite ores (deposits of the Kempirsay massif), confined mainly to the greenstone belt of the Urals, coal deposits (Chelyabinsk coal basin), placers and bedrock deposits of gold (Kochkarskoye, Berezovskoye) and platinum (Isovskiye). The largest deposits of bauxite (North Ural bauxite-bearing region) and asbestos (Bazhenovskoe) are located here. On the western slope of the Urals and in the Urals there are deposits of hard coal (Pechora coal basin, Kizelovsky coal basin), oil and gas (Volga-Ural oil and gas region, Orenburg gas condensate field), potassium salts (Verkhnekamsk basin). The Urals are especially famous for their “gems” - precious, semi-precious and ornamental stones (emerald, amethyst, aquamarine, jasper, rhodonite, malachite, etc.). The best jewelry diamonds in the USSR were mined in the Urals.

The depths of the mountains contain more than two hundred different minerals. For example, reserves of “non-melting ice” - rock crystal in Mount Narodnaya. The bowls of the St. Petersburg Hermitage are made from Ural malachite and jasper.

Geographical aspects

The conventional border between Europe and Asia runs along the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains.

Geographically, the Ural Mountains are divided into five parts:

  • Central or Middle Urals,

In the north, the Pai-Khoi mountain system can be considered a continuation of the Ural Range, in the south - Mugodzhary.

Peaks

Highest peaks:

  • Subpolar Urals - Mount Narodnaya (1895 m above sea level).
  • Southern Urals - Mount Yaman-Tau (1640 m above sea level).
  • Northern Urals - Mount Telposis (1617 m above sea level).
  • Polar Urals - Mount Payer (1499 m above sea level).
  • Middle Urals - Mount Oslyanka (1119 m above sea level).

Diary of the trip.

The Main Ural Ridge - this is the pompous name of a mountain range stretching for 50 km. located clearly from north to south on the border between the Perm and Sverdlovsk regions, the border itself runs in the center along the entire ridge. The nearest cities are Severouralsk and Solikamsk.
We decide to explore this route. There are practically no descriptions on the Internet, so we develop the route ourselves at our own peril and risk. Severouralsk - Pokrovsk-Uralsky - Bayanovka and further along the road to Kvarkush. What kind of road? Is it possible to drive along that road? How close can you get? Where to leave the car? Which side and along which paths should we go? And is it even possible to go there?
In general, we struggled with these questions for two weeks.
Having connected the weekends of all participants, the departure was scheduled for 12 am on Friday, September 6, we need to turn around in one day, but we still haven’t found any answers.
Friday, September 6 - by chance (all accidents are not accidental) I stumbled upon the phone number of the owner of the Zvezda base, which the road passes by, I called and received answers. Hallelujah! Gismeteo promises a weekend without rain in that area. The best!
According to the plan, at 12 at night we leave Yekaterinburg, the highway to Serov, we are fined a couple of times - admission ticket on North.
Here is Severouralsk - we cross the bridge over the canal and immediately turn left (bypass), we go to the second gate made of pipes above the road, and immediately turn left to Pokrovsk-Uralsky, the village remains on the left side to us on Bayanovka. Bayanovka was also supposed to remain aside, but somehow we were drawn there, the navigators categorically refused to show the direction and circled around the village with us, recording the track.
Saturday, September 7, 5 a.m. - we took the road to Kvarkush. It rained all week along the logging road, respectively 56 km. We drove this road in 2.5 hours. It starts to rain - the gismeteo did not disappoint!
8 am - we are at the base - the rain is not letting up, the ridge is covered in fog. Where to look for the trail? While they were drinking tea and getting ready, base worker Alexey appeared and said: “I saw you a long time ago, but I didn’t want to go out in the rain!” He cast a sad glance over our table, where there was nothing stronger than chicory, explained where to look for the trail, was sincerely surprised that we would climb the mountains in the rain and fog and, as an alternative, offered us a bathhouse, chatted a little more, and, having lost to us interest went into the house.
At 8:30 we set off in the direction indicated by Alexey. This year, having wandered through off-road terrain, kurumnik, windbreaks and swamps, we were ready to meet it all again, but the spirits of the mountains, through the hands of the aborigines, decided to give us a gift - flooring made of boards. And we walked along this flooring, like a red carpet, to the foot of the ridge. Thank you and greetings Spirits of the area. We install the neutralizer and get a bonus - the rain stops!
The mountain is completely made of kurumnik! The rains washed away the soil from under the stones, the stones are unstable and mobile, the moss on the stones became soft and slippery. The grip of track shoes on rocks is zero. So what now - we won’t go up? We will, but we’ll just go more carefully, especially since we’re light, so everything will work out!
The top is shrouded in fog, it’s a pity we won’t see all the beauty and all the greatness. Being careful, but also trying not to lose pace, we climb up. It seems that this is the top, the base is visible far below from behind, and ahead of us the next climb is visible from the fog, and beyond that there is another.
The fog was apparently bored, so he started a game with us, now that we are in the middle of the ascent, the fog slid down, revealing the peak in front of us and covering the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the top, Marina rushed forward (after all, you need to take a heavier backpack with you for such especially nimble ones) before this thought had time to flash, part of the fog covered Marina, and she had to stop so as not to lose sight of us. Well, Yulia was climbing behind (she has no experience walking along the ridge), Ilya belays her, fog creeps up on them from behind, and we periodically lose sight of them. So what should we do now? Will wait! Fortunately, there is something to do - small islands of grass among the kurumnik - this is a blueberry paradise. We started eating blueberries, blueberries, lingonberries and some other berries that were also very tasty (we still haven’t learned the name). And so the entire climb, while waiting for Yulia, we grazed on the blueberry islands, agreeing with each other that it was probably good that Yulia walked slowly!
The last third step was climbed on all fours - a steep climb of 60 degrees, the stones under our feet crawl and crumble, we walk at a distance so as not to cover each other with stones.
Here is the peak height of 1070m, and the highest point of GUKh is Mount Humboldt - 1410m. after 40 km. from us to the north. The distance is covered in fog, it’s a shame I really wanted to see Konjak, Denezhkin Stone, Kvarkush. We are looking for a place for the converter, well, of course, the fog is right there, but without it, now we can’t see even the next 5 meters.
Connection with peacemakers, thought form, launch! The fog clears a little. After spending a little more time alone with the mountain and ourselves, we begin the descent, no less extreme than the ascent, and again enjoy Yulka’s slow movement in the blueberry meadows.
Now the fog has hidden the foot from us, so it can’t sit still, and we get a little lost on the path, the especially nimble ones completely take to the left and get lost in the fog, okay, at least you can hear your voice (after all, some people need to tie weights to their legs). Here is the path leading to the base.
The mountain evoked very positive emotions. Fabulous place, blissful, very pleasant and inviting, friendly. I wanted to stay there for 3-4 days, completely disconnect from the bustle of the city and merge with the nature of this place, take a steam bath, swim in the stream, and walk along the ridge to the north. (The cost of accommodation at the base is 500 rubles per day. The bathhouse is included in the price, the phone number of the base owner is 8 953 608 1006 Vasily Ivanovich).
It’s 2 p.m. We change clothes and have lunch. Thank you all and God bless you on your way back.

An extreme logging road, we meet a group of ATV riders - that's who have the freedom, all dirty up to their ears, but terribly happy. Closer to the village there is a local population, apparently they have gone for mushrooms and pine cones, and the hunting season has begun (maybe it never ended).
B-a-i-n-o-v-k-a - we are trying to drive using the navigator, but for some reason we are cutting circles around the village. It’s a depressing sight: abandoned houses, dirt, garbage dumps, no living creatures of any kind - devastation. I remembered the villages of Bashkiria and Kazakhstan - solid houses, clean courtyards, streets full of chickens and geese, herds of cows in the fields, herds of horses. And it became a shame for the state!
Meanwhile, the boys realized that we were driving along the track recorded by the navigator at night and began to get out of the village with the cheerful name Bayanovka. We looked at the picture of the track on the navigator, it turned out that we drove around the entire village in a circle, stopping at all four exits, something like a four-pointed star (now the thought came - a neutralizer). Well, let everything go well for them now! Amen!
Here is Severouralsk, what a beautiful church they have and it stands on high place, so it is visible from all sides. That's it, now it's a direct road to Yekaterinburg. And this is just the beginning of the journey...
