Ural (from Bashk. Үr - upland, Bashk. Үral - belt) - geographic region in Russia, stretching between the East European and West Siberian plains. The main part of this region is the Ural mountain system.

The Ural is located at the junction of Europe and Asia and is the border between these regions. The stone belt of the Urals and the adjacent elevated plains of the Urals stretch from the shores of the Arctic Ocean in the north to the semi-desert regions of Kazakhstan in the south in the form of a 100-400 km strip: for more than 2500 km they separate the East European and West Siberian plains.

· Southern Urals

The Urals have long amazed and amazes researchers with an abundance of minerals and their main wealth - minerals. In the bowels Ural mountains there are iron and copper ores, and chromium, and nickel, and cobalt, and zinc, and coal, and oil, and gold, and precious stones. The Urals have long been the largest mining and metallurgical base in the entire country. Forest resources also belong to the riches of nature. The South and Middle Urals provide an opportunity for agriculture.

This natural region is one of the most important for the life of Russia and its citizens.

Features of nature

The Ural Mountains consist of low ridges and massifs. The highest of them, rising above 1200-1500 m, are located in the Subpolyarny (Mount Narodnaya - 1895 m), North (Mount Telposiz - 1617 m) and South (Mount Yamantau - 1640 m) Urals. The massifs of the Middle Urals are much lower, usually no higher than 600-800 m. The western and eastern foothills of the Urals and the foothills are often cut by deep river valleys; there are many rivers in the Urals and in the Urals.

The Ural Mountains are old (originated in the late Proterozoic) and are located in the area of ​​the Hercynian folding.

Climate

The climate of the Urals is typical mountainous; precipitation is distributed unevenly not only across regions, but also within each region. West Siberian Plain - a territory with a harsh continental climate; in the meridional direction, its continentality increases much less sharply than on the Russian Plain. The climate of the mountainous regions of Western Siberia is less continental than the climate of the West Siberian Plain. It is interesting that within the same zone on the plains of the Cis-Urals and Trans-Urals natural conditions are markedly different. This is explained by the fact that the Ural Mountains serve as a kind of climatic barrier. To the west of them more precipitation falls, the climate is more humid and mild; to the east, that is, beyond the Urals, there is less precipitation, the climate is drier, with pronounced continental features.

A couple of centuries ago animal world was richer than now. Plowing, hunting, deforestation drove out and destroyed the habitats of many animals. Wild horses, saigas, bustards, little bustards have disappeared. Herds of deer migrated to the depths of the tundra. But on the plowed lands rodents (hamsters, field mice) have spread. In the north you can find the inhabitants of the tundra - reindeer, and in the south of the typical inhabitants of the steppes - marmots, shrews, snakes and lizards. The forests are inhabited by predators: brown bears, wolves, wolverines, foxes, sables, ermines, and lynxes. Ungulates (moose, deer, roe deer, etc.) and birds of various species are found in them.

Differences in landscapes are noticeable when climbing. In the South Urals, for example, the path to the peaks of the largest Zigalga ridge begins with the intersection of a strip of hills and ravines at the foot, which is densely overgrown with bushes. Then the road goes through pine, birch and aspen forests, among which grassy glades flicker. Above, spruces and firs rise like a palisade. Dead wood is almost invisible - it burns out during frequent forest fires. Swamps can be found in gentle places. The peaks are covered with stone deposits, moss and grass. Rare and stunted spruces, crooked birches that come across here do not in any way resemble the landscape at the foot, with multi-colored carpets of herbs and shrubs. Fires at high altitudes are already powerless, so the path is now and then blocked by rubble of fallen trees. The top of Mount Yamantau (1640 m) is a relatively flat area, but it is almost inaccessible due to the pile-up of old shafts.

Natural resources

Of the natural resources of the Urals, the most important are its mineral resources... The Urals have long been the largest mining and metallurgical base in the country. And the Ural ranks first in the world in the extraction of some mineral ores.

Back in the 16th century, deposits of rock salt and sandstone containing copper were known on the western outskirts of the Urals. In the 17th century, quite numerous iron deposits became known and iron works appeared.

Placers of gold and platinum deposits were found in the mountains, and precious stones on the eastern slope. From generation to generation, the skill of searching for ore, smelting metal, making weapons and art products from it, and processing gems was passed on.

In the Urals, there are numerous deposits of high-quality iron ores (Magnitnaya, High, Blagodat, Kachkanar mountains), copper ores (Mednogorsk, Karabash, Sibay, Gai), rare non-ferrous metals, gold, silver, platinum, the best bauxite in the country, stone and potassium salts (Solikamsk, Berezniki, Berezovskoe, Vazhenskoe, Iletskoe). There is oil in the Urals (Ishimbay), natural gas (Orenburg), coal, asbestos, precious and semi-precious stones.

The hydropower potential of the Ural rivers (Pavlovskaya, Yumaguzinskaya, Shirokovskaya, Iriklinskaya and several small hydroelectric power plants) remains a far from fully developed resource.

Rivers and lakes

The rivers belong to the basins of the Arctic Ocean (on the western slope - Pechora with Usoy, on the eastern - Tobol, Iset, Tura, Lozva, Northern Sosva, belonging to the Ob system) and the Caspian Sea (Kama with Chusovaya and Belaya; Ural river).

Origin of the toponym

There are many versions of the origin of the toponym "Ural". An analysis of the linguistic contacts of the first Russian settlers in the region indicates that the toponym, in all likelihood, was adopted from the Bashkir language. Indeed, of all the autochthonous peoples of the Urals, this name has existed since ancient times only among the Bashkirs, and is supported at the level of the language, legends and traditions of this people (the epic Ural-Batyr). Other indigenous peoples of the Urals (Khanty, Mansi, Udmurts, Komi) have different traditional names for the Ural Mountains, adopting the name "Ural" only in the 19th-20th centuries from the Russian language.

In the Bashkir language, the toponym "Ural" is recognized as very ancient, probably going back to the Pra-Türkic state. It should be associated with a head. үr ~ Old Türk. * ör "height, height". [

"Ural" in Bashkir means a belt. There is a Bashkir tale about a giant who wore a belt with deep pockets. He hid all his wealth in them. The belt was huge. Once a giant stretched it, and the belt lay across the entire earth, from the cold Kara Sea in the north to the sandy shores of the southern Caspian Sea. This is how the Ural ridge was formed.

In Greek books written two thousand years ago, one can read about the distant "Riphean Mountains", where gloomy vultures guard untold golden treasures. The Bashkir folk epic "Ural-Batyr", which tells about the progenitors of the peoples of the Urals who survived after the Flood, the conflict that arose and the subsequent struggle of the Urals with his elder brother Shulgan, who chose the path of evil and the settlement of their descendants in the adjacent lands, deserves more attention. with the events of the epic. The conflict of life, mercy and the natural principle "the strong eats the weak", the topic of the search for Living water and personified Death for its subsequent destruction, for the sake of eternal life, the idea of ​​selfless service to people, equality and self-sacrifice for the benefit of others are considered.

Ural contribution to artistic culture Russia is not only great, but also remarkably peculiar. Industry was a solid foundation on which the arts and crafts of the Urals flourished, and factories were its main centers. The importance of industry in the development of the region and its culture was well understood by the contemporaries themselves. One of the official documents says: "Yekaterinburg owes both its existence and its flourishing state only to factories."

With good reason, the Urals can be considered the birthplace of Russian industrial marble processing, subordinate to the needs of Russian architecture. If we turn to antiquity, then this is, first of all, folk arts and crafts. For example, carpet weaving, patterned weaving, embroidery, leather processing, vivid examples of which have been preserved in the Bashkir folk art. In the museums of the Republic of Bashkortostan, you can directly touch the rich variety of antique items. Modern artists such as A. Mazitov, D. Suleimanov, T. Sirazhetdinov, G. Kalitov, R. Minnibaev, A. Korolevsky, Meos, B. Domashnikov, Y. Aminev and many others.

Feel the aroma of forest herbs, on which the famous Bashkir balsams insist, breathe in the pure Altai air, admire the Ural mountains, drink fragrant tea with honey and, finally, understand how great and grandiose the nature of our Motherland is. She gave these places a special, wild charm. Mountains and fast-flowing rivers, streams running into clear lakes, unique flora and fauna attract all lovers of outdoor activities here. The Urals and Altai are lands that keep countless treasures, ready to open up to an inquisitive and fearless traveler.

Bashkir horse, "Ural pattern" and dream fish

It is in the Southern Urals that you can find that very ideal winter with frost and snow. Guided tours of its reserves and national parks run through several natural areas: deciduous forest, coniferous taiga and forest-tundra. You can go to walking tour and merge with nature, immersed in her contemplation. Or make a childhood dream of traveling on horseback during an equestrian tour come true - after all, climbing mountain paths is so exciting on a horse of the Bashkir breed, surprisingly smart and hardy. And it doesn't matter if you have never sat in the saddle. Experienced instructors will teach you how to drive horses, and all you need is courage and a piece of sugar. In the combined sightseeing tours, you will make pilgrimage along the mountain trails not only by saddle, but also on skis and snowmobiles among snow whirlwinds and brilliant sparkles. And we assure you that you will remember the Ural Pattern of winter entertainments for a very long time!

A trip to the South Urals can be remembered and ski vacation in Abzakovo, located on the border of Bashkiria and the Chelyabinsk region. The trails of the center are reliably sheltered from the winds from the north and east by the Shaitan mountain range and its spurs. The best time for ski tours in Abzakovo - end of February-March. And on one of the most beautiful lakes in the Urals, Yakty-kul (Bannoe), surrounded by mountains, you can relax all year round. The fishing here promises a good catch - in Bannoe there are chebaks, perches and pikes. According to experienced fishermen, the caught specimens reach a weight of several kilograms. Guests are also provided with a unique opportunity not only for recreation, but also for treatment in local sanatoriums and rest houses. People suffering from diseases of the respiratory system, musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular ailments, not only get the opportunity to take a course of health procedures here at reasonable prices, but also breathe the cleanest air for free.

But there is a city that you just need to know firsthand - this is Yekaterinburg.

There are over six hundred monuments of history and culture here, 43 of which are recognized as objects of federal significance.

During sightseeing tours you will walk along the famous Red Line - walking route on city attractions. This is the Church on the Blood, built on the site of the execution of the family of Nicholas II, and the building of the former District Court, and the Sverdlovsk rock club, and the unfinished TV tower, and much more. In the center, you will find a whole block where granite slabs breathe the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary Yekaterinburg. And under New Year on the main square the Ural capital, you will certainly see fabulous sculptures created by masters from clear ice Ural lakes.

Entrance to Shambhala

The gateway to mystical Shambhala - Gorny Altai is often called both Siberian Switzerland and Russian Tibet. It includes completely dissimilar natural and climatic zones. And there is also a chance to make excursion horseback riding, walking and combined tours. In one trip you will see huge tracts of coniferous taiga on the slopes, alpine meadows with legendary edelweiss, mountain peaks covered with snow caps, cold seething rivers, expanses of dry rocky steppes and mountain-steppe landscapes.

Winters in Altai are long, snowy and calm, which means that a ski paradise is guaranteed.

Rest and treatment in sanatoriums and rest houses of the Altai Territory is distinguished by a harmonious combination of natural factors of health improvement and scientific methods. For example, at the balneological resort of Belokurikha there are no drops in atmospheric pressure, and the air saturated with beneficial ions and underground warm springs of nitrogen-radon water saturate with vigor and a surge of strength.

This amazing region, 2.5 thousand km long, connects the Arctic Ocean and the steppes of Kazakhstan. It is deserted and densely populated, frosty and hot, Asian and European - with an amazing polyphony of natural landscapes, climatic zones, artifacts from different eras.

Subpolar Urals: a hike to the highest peaks

The Subpolar Ural is one of the most interesting places region, which began to be mastered by travelers back in the 30s. This harsh region is far from the most visited due to the huge distances, which gives it the potential for high categories of difficulty. The climate is also unpleasant here.

Most of the tourist routes in the subpolar Urals go through the Inta station. From here, private traders in Ural-shift cars carry out transfers to mountainous areas, for example, to the Zhelanny shelter (located 136 km from the railway station). You can reach it by local off-road in 8 hours.

From "Zhelanny", where mountain quartz is mined, there are trails to the highest peaks Ural Mountains - Narodnaya (1894), Karpinsky (1878), Manaraga (1820). Around them there are many routes with amazing mountain landscapes, ridges and passes, turbulent rivers with many channels. Daredevils try their hand at climbing these peaks, as well as on a large number of less high mountains and ridges - Saber, Protection, Inaccessible.

Despite the fact that the passes and peaks have categories no higher than 2A, the combination of obstacles and the length of the route determine its 5th category of difficulty.

After all, to explore this merciless northern beauty, you need at least 3 weeks. During this time, hikers cover more than 300 km on foot or on skis.

Rains, fogs, broken roads, swampy marshes, wide floods of rivers, where even in a ford - mid-thigh, or even waist-deep - are serious summer tests even for well-trained tourists. In winter, it is easier to walk here, if, of course, skiers are ready for a trail, which in some parts of their trip to the Urals reaches 80 cm, bitter frosts (up to -45 degrees) and gusty winds.

The most favorable period for summer trekking is the second half of July - the first half of August. But even at the height of summer, the weather changes often: the air temperature can fluctuate from 0 to +20 degrees, drizzling rain is replaced by downpour, hail and even a blizzard. Snowfields and glaciers are common. In summer, up to 1000 mm of precipitation falls, reducing the passability of hiking trails.

They usually take place in March and April. During this period, significant temperature drops are also noticeable - from 0 to - 45.

In the territory national park"Yugyd Va", where these natural attractions are located, travelers can wait out the bad weather in shelters, gullies, huts, which are sometimes encountered on the way. The cost of an overnight stay is 200-250 rubles. per person, although more recently, these structures were free shelters for tourists hiking in the Urals.

Departure from the route, as a rule, is carried out through the Aranets pass and the village of Aranets, from where on foot or by boat (by agreement with local residents) you can reach the village of Koncebor. It walks here 2-3 times a week public transport(bus) to the city of Pechora or you can catch a ride. Travel time is about 2.5 hours.

There is one more "entry point" to the tourist route in the circumpolar Urals - the city of Vuktyl, which is popular with water tourists.

Keep in mind! Despite the fact that on the official website of the park "Yugyd Va" tourists are encouraged to issue a special permit and pay for every day of stay on its territory, such a rent was repeatedly recognized as illegal by the court and the prosecutor's office. The last decision of the Vuktyl City Court of the Komi Republic entered into legal force on August 6, 2012 and was published on October 24, 2012 in the Siyanie Severa newspaper.

The activities of the National Park "Yugyd Va" are more and more actively commercialized every year. And today his directorate offers services for organizing the transfer of auto, water and by air(by helicopter), publishes and distributes printed and souvenir products, collects fees for the use of shelters, etc. NP offices are located in the cities of Inta, Pechora, Vuktyl.

Traveling in the northern Urals: through the Dyatlov pass to Bolvanam Mansi

A trip to the northern Urals is interesting not only for those who are attracted by hard-to-reach places far from civilization, the absence of towns and villages nearby, in general, game and wilderness.

Here is the legendary pass, where in 1959, under unexplained and mysterious circumstances, the tourist group of Dyatlov tragically died. Today it is called the Dyatlov Pass. And the highlight of these places is the mysterious Manpupuner plateau with its majestic Mansi Dummies, whose height is from 30 to 42 meters.

In this area, there are also many tourist routes in the Northern Urals. People get here both from Europe and Asia. After all, the Urals is the border of the continents.

In summer, the most convenient (but by no means budgetary - approx. 18 thousand rubles for a boat for 6 people) transfer along the Pechora River, usually by organized groups. This route is offered by the Directorate of the Pechora-Ilychsky Reserve, on the territory of which there is a plateau. It is designed for 6 days, starts from Troitsko-Pechersk, from where the participants are taken to the pier (60 km) for some money. This trip to the northern Urals includes, in addition to 200 km. waterway, and also 66 km. walking distance to and from Manpupuner. Most of it is a rather tiresome road.

Anyone who wants to make a full-fledged hiking or ski trip to the northern Urals, chooses the path that lies from the Ivdel railway station, where the Moscow-Ob'e train goes.

From Ivdel, a drop has been established to the Auspiya river. Then they go on skis or on foot up the river to the Dyatlov pass, which is located on the Belt Stone ridge. On the pass there are memorial plaques reminiscent of the tragic events of the 59th year.

From here you can go down to the source of the great Pechora River, which in these places is still quite a stream winding through the taiga forest, and make a radial to the Manpupunier plateau.

If you return the same way, it will be the shortest trek to these sacred places. But it will also take 10 days due to the large distances - about 200 km. And the routes here can be laid for every taste and almost any category of complexity from 2 to 5.

Keep in mind! Before starting your trip to the Urals, you need to issue a pass to the Pechora-Ilychsky nature reserve. This must be done in advance by sending an application by fax or e-mail to the management at least two weeks before the trip. The cost of 1 day of stay on its territory in the summer of 2012 was 650 rubles. You can pay for the pass by transferring money to the reserve's account.

Although, many tourists prefer an alternative option - paying a fine of 1000 rubles. in place. After all, the number of passes is limited, and the dates of stay in the reserve indicated in the application, you can simply "miss", for example, because of bad weather.

South Ural: Taganay National Park

Taganay - mountain ranges and national park next to Zlatoust, which, in comparison with the wild expanses of the polar and northern Urals, seems chamber. However, its area is 568 sq. km, allows you to master interesting tourist routes in the Urals.

The central entrance to Taganay Park is located, literally, 10 minutes by bus or half an hour walk from the railway station, in the village of Pushkinsky.

You can also enter its territory from Miass, Magnitka or Karabash. If you have a GPS navigator or you can read the map well, then you can walk around Taganai without guides. It is much easier to do this in winter than in summer. There are no swamps. Streams and lakes are frozen over. There are many well-worn blizzard roads.

Taganay is several mountain ranges of which the highest is Bolshoi Taganay and its dominant, the highest point of the park is Kruglitsa (1112). The strong wind creates amazing shapes from the snow here.

Bizarre rocky outcrops in the Valley of Fairy Tales, the Responsive Ridge, the vertical walls of which repeatedly echo every spoken word, the meteorological station at the top of the Dalniy Taganay Ridge (1114), from which an unprecedented view opens - these and other picturesque landscapes can be seen by walking or skiing.

In NP "Taganai" there are many category routes 1B-3A for experienced tourists, who can put up tents in specially designated places equipped with firewood.

For lovers of "walking" recreation, families with children, 60 km of marked trails and 6 equipped shelters have been laid, located at a distance of 7 to 24 km from each other. So hiking around southern Urals can be done with unprecedented convenience.

Overnight stay in the houses is paid, from 400 rubles. per person per day, depending on the season and the degree of comfort (although it is very conditional). Also, money is collected for setting up your own tent, using equipped trails and picnic areas with barbecue facilities, etc. In general, the degree of commercialization is rather big, although the entrance to the territory and stay in the Taganai National Park is free.

The well-worn paths, a large number of guests in winter and summer, can scare away those who like remote corners and deserted outskirts. But for those who, so far, are not ready for difficult autonomous distances of hundreds of kilometers or whose team has little tourists, this is a great option - a trip through the southern Urals with a minimum of risk and load.
