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 the South to the Polar.

There are two main types of attractions here. These places are memorable and natural. The latter are unique in their beauty: there are many rivers, rocks, caves, and steppes in the Urals. An important role here is played by the geographical position of this region: it is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The Urals is located on the most ancient ridge, to which European flora and fauna adjoins on one side, and Asian ones on the other.

Ural memorial 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, thousands of tourists visit historical and natural places both from Russia and from other countries.

Part of the Ural Mountains from the Kosvinsky Kamen massif in the south to the banks of the Shchugor River in the north is called the Northern Urals. In this place, the width of the Ural Range is 50-60 kilometers. As a result of the uplift of ancient mountains and the impact of subsequent glaciations and modern frosty weathering, the territory has a mid-mountain relief, with flat tops.
The Northern Urals is very popular with tourists. Of particular interest are the rocks and remains of the Man-Pupu-Nier, Torre-Porre-Iz, and Muning-Tump massifs. Away from the watershed ridge are the main peaks of this part of the Urals: Konzhakovsky Kamen (1569 meters), Denezhkin Kamen (1492 meters), Chistop (1292), Otorten (1182), Kozhim-Iz (1195),

The northernmost peak of the Ural mountain system is Mount Telposiz in Komi. The object is located on the territory of the republic. Mount Telposis in Komi is composed of quartzite sandstones, 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, the oronym means ""Nest of the winds"".
The subpolar Urals is one of the most beautiful regions of our Motherland. Its ridges stretched in a wide arc from the sources 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 unexplored harsh nature, the abundance of fish in rivers and lakes, berries and mushrooms in the taiga attract travelers here. Good communication routes along the Northern Railway, on steamships and boats along the Pechora, Usa, Ob, Severnaya Sosva and Lyapin, as well as a network of airlines, make it possible to develop water, foot-water, foot and ski routes in the Subpolar Urals with the crossing of the Ural Range or along it western and eastern slopes.
A characteristic feature of the relief of the Subpolar Urals is the high height of the ridges with alpine landforms, the asymmetry of its slopes, the deep dissection of through transverse valleys and gorges, and the significant height of the passes. The highest peaks are located in the center of the Subpolar Urals.
The absolute height of the passes through 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 Unapproachable ridges are especially high and difficult to overcome, the slopes of which end in steep-walled cairns. The most easily passable passes through the Research Ridge (from 600 to 750 m above sea level) with relatively gentle, insignificant rises that make it easy to carry out portages are located in the southern part of the ridge between the upper reaches of the Puiva (right tributary of the Schekurya) and Torgovoi (right tributary of the Shchugor), as well as between the upper reaches of the Shchekurya, Manya (Lyapin basin) and Bolshoi Patok (right tributary of the Shchugor).
In the area of ​​​​Mount Narodnaya and on the Narodno-Itinsky ridge, the height of the passes is 900-1200 m, but even here many of them pass through paths along which portages from the upper reaches of the Khulga (Lyapin), Khaimayu, Grubeya, Khalmeryu, Narody to the upper reaches of the tributaries of the Lemva are relatively easy , on Kozhim and Balbanyo (Usa basin).

The subpolar Urals is one of the most beautiful regions of our Motherland. Its ridges stretched in a wide arc from the sources 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 Arkhangelsk, to the east. slope of the ridge Ulutau, composed of Devonian and Carboniferous limestones.

The entrance to the cave is at vys. 70m above the level of the river M. Askyn. Askinskaya Ice Cave is a large hall dl. 104m, max. lat. 61m and height 26m.

The temperature in the cave is below 0°C all year round. It contains 17 ice stalagmites 8-11m high with a diameter of up to 2.2m and 20 - up to 1m high. In 1926, according to G.V. Vakhrushev and I.G. Petrov, there were only 8 stalagmites. The amount of ice during this period increased by 5-6 times.

The reason for the preservation of cold and the formation of ice in the cave is the abundance of precipitation in the region of the Askinsky ice cave, due to the barrier nature of the ridge. Ulutau; karst rocks that easily let moisture into the cave; air streams cooled in the gorn. valleys; sowing the location of the inlet; heat-insulating entrance cover made of rubble deluvium with clay filler; dense forest, contributing to a decrease in soil t-ry due to increased transpiration of moisture from the soil. In the cave bones found. well, incl. antlers of an ancient deer. This testifies to the millennium age of the ice shell. Relic districts are found on rocky outcrops: northern woodsia, oak aconite, stinky cornflower, Mattiol's cortuza, 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 it would be nice to have 30 meters of a good rope.

The most beautiful thing is in Askinskaya winter, when bizarre ice streaks and figures form in it, in which, if desired, you can see magical animals. In summer, the temperature in the cave drops somewhat, and the figures lose their outlines, and the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe glacier is reduced - 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 Sysert-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 pegmat 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, makarochkinite, monazite-(Ce), polyakovite-(Ce), samarskite-(Y), bindite, ushkovite, fergusonite-beta-(Ce ), fluoromagnesioarfvedsonite, fluororichterite, chiolite, chevkinite-(Ce), aeschinite-(Ce).

Ilmensky Reserve

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 predominate in the south, while pine-birch and birch forests predominate in the north. On the western slopes of the Ilmensky mountains there is an array of old pine forests. There are areas of larch forests, stony, grass-forb and shrub steppes, moss swamps with cranberries and wild rosemary. More than 1200 species of plants, many endemic, relict and rare species have been noted in the flora. Ermine, forest ferret, Siberian weasel, wolf, lynx, flying squirrel, hares - hare and hare live, a brown bear comes in. Elk and roe deer are not numerous. Sika deer and beaver are acclimatized. Of the birds, grouse are common - capercaillie, black grouse, hazel grouse, gray partridge. Whooper swan and gray crane nest in the reserve, rare birds are noted - white-tailed eagle, imperial eagle, peregrine falcon, osprey, saker falcon, little bustard.

Since 1930, there has been a mineralogical museum founded by A.E. Fersman, which presents more than 200 different minerals found in the Ilmensky Range, including topazes, corundums, amazonites, etc.

In 1991, a branch was organized - the historical and landscape archaeological monument "Arkaim" with an area of ​​3.8 thousand hectares. It is located in the steppe foothills of the eastern Urals, in the Karagan valley. More than 50 archaeological monuments are preserved here: Mesolithic and Neolithic sites, burial grounds, Bronze Age settlements, and other historical objects. Of particular importance is the fortified settlement of Arkaim in the 17th-16th centuries. BC e.

Location:

Gremyachinsky district of the Perm Territory.

Monument type: Geomorphological.

Brief description: Weathering remnants in the Lower Carboniferous quartzite sandstones.

Status: Landscape monument of nature of regional significance.

A city turned to stone.

The city is located on the main peak of the Rudyansky Spoy ridge, the absolute height of which is 526 m above sea level. It is a powerful rocky massif composed of fine-grained quartz sandstones of the Lower Carboniferous, which are part of the 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, lanes and lanes of an ancient abandoned city.

Tchaikovsky Museum

In 1837, Ilya Petrovich Tchaikovsky was appointed the new head of the Kamsko-Votkinsky district. Upon arrival from St. Petersburg to Votkinsk, he, along with his wife Alexandra Andreevna, settled down on Gospodskaya Street in a spacious, comfortable house - the government apartment of the mining chiefs of the ironworks.
A rare atmosphere of love, exceptional harmony, and mutual respect reigned in the Tchaikovsky family. In Votkinsk they spent 11 happiest years of their lives, four of their children were born here. May 7, 1840 was born Pyotr Tchaikovsky - the future genius of Russian music.
For more than 200 years, the Tchaikovsky House has been the main attraction of Votkinsk. The house was built in 1806 in the style of "classicism" by the architect N.A. Andreevsky. From the moment the “state apartment” was built until the revolution of 1917, the families of 18 plant managers lived in the house, replacing each other. 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 Gospodskaya Street.
In 1918-1919. the house served as headquarters for the White Guards. It housed the office and counterintelligence. Then the city was occupied by the Red Guards, from the house on Gospodskaya 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 the seven-year school. Naturally, the building soon became abandoned.

The Ural-Guberlinskoye Gorge is an amazing corner of the nature of the Orenburg region. The gorge with a turbulent river is not located in the mountains, but among a flat steppe plain, on which rise the mounds of the ancient nomads - the Sarmatians.

The gorge of the Guberli River is one of the oldest on Earth, it is a variety of slates of the Proterozoic era. As a result of erosional destruction, they form picturesque rock sculptures resembling outlandish animals or birds. Pine forest settled on slates in ancient times. Pine forest, grows mainly on sandy soils - this is the southernmost outpost of pine in the Urals.

In the depths of the gorge, under the rocks, an amazing world of relic plants has been preserved: ferns, mosses, lichens, and rare flowering plants.

A relatively large water flow, as a rule, is constant and fed by the runoff of atmospheric precipitation from the entire catchment area by groundwater (underground feeding). Guberlya - A river in the Orenburg region, the right tributary of the river. Ural. Length - 110 km. The basin area is 18.6 thousand sq. km. From Tatars. guberdau - "to seethe, gurgle".

In the Karagay region, Guberlya looks like a real mountain river. It originates 6 kilometers above the forest, feeding on numerous springs. There are more than 10 springs with icy water at its source. Guberlya cheerfully runs between the rocks, either forming small waterfalls, or spilling into picturesque reaches, or completely hiding between trees and huge stones. In some places polished micaceous shales sparkling in the sun serve as a channel for it.

BASHKIRIA

We are leaving the Orenburg region and the next 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 valleys.

Monument of nature.

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 southwestern and southeastern directions. The labyrinth consists of 3 tiers connected by wells. There are many large halls in the cave with an abundance of sinter 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 (to the south, the average water flow is 0.3 m³/s). Near the entrance well there is a perennial icing with an area of ​​about 600 m².

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 the Bashkir as follows: "Sumgan" - "dived", "Kutuk" - "well".

I must say that Kutuk-Sumgan is one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult cave system of the Urals. The descent into it requires good cave 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 mine shaft and the danger of icefall is minimized. Less danger of freezing ropes.

The Ural Mountains are a unique mountain system for Russia. This is the only mountain range that crosses the country from north to south and is the border of two parts of the world.

At the core of the region Ural mountain system stretched out for more than 2500 km - from cold waters Arctic Ocean before deserts of Kazakhstan.

Geographers divided into five geographical zones: Polar, Circumpolar, Northern, Middle And Southern Urals. The highest mountains in Subpolar Urals. Here on Subpolar Urals, is the highest mountain of the Urals -. But it is these northern regions Ural the most inaccessible and underdeveloped. On the contrary, the lowest mountains are on Middle Urals, it is also the most developed and densely populated.

highest peaks

• Pai Hoi- Mount Moreiz (Wesey-Pe) (423 m).
• Polar Ural- mountain (1472 m above sea level).
• Subpolar Urals- mountain (1895 m), mountain (1662 m).
• Northern Ural- Mount Telposiz (1617 m).
• Middle Ural- mountain (1119 m).
• Southern Urals- Mount Yamantau (1640 m).
• Mugodzhary- Mount Boktybay (567 m).

Minerals

They contain a wide variety of minerals and resources. Exactly on Ural discovered, and platinum reserves were the largest in the world. Many minerals were first discovered in Ural mountains.

For the eastern regions Ural the most characteristic are deposits of copper pyrite ores and skarn-magnetite ores. The largest deposits of bauxite (North Ural bauxite-bearing region) and asbestos (Bazhenovskoye) are located here. On the western slope Ural and in Urals there are deposits of coal (Pechora coal basin,), and gas (Volga-Ural oil and gas region, Orenburg gas condensate field), potassium salts (Verkhnekamsk basin).

There are also gems here - emeralds, beryls, amethysts and many others. famous all over the world and Ural malachite: bowls of St. Petersburg are made from it and jasper Hermitage, as well as interior decoration and an altar Church of the Savior on Blood.

earthquakes

Along Ural mountains passes a large geological fault -. They themselves are classified as slowly growing mountains, therefore they have low seismic activity with a magnitude of 3-6. But, .

Its height reaches 1119 meters above sea level. That is why Mount Oslyanka is included in the project of Oleg Chegodaev "Crown of the Urals". Probably, the name of the mountain comes from the word "donkey" - a whetstone, a grindstone. But there is a second option: from the word "donkey" or "osledina" - a log, perhaps because of the shape of the ridge. Mount Oslyanka is the highest point of the Oslyanka ridge, which is a 16 km long ridge elongated from north to south. It has several bare peaks covered with kurums. Somewhere a mountain...

In this collection called Ural Mountains photos you can see a picturesque corner with an incredible history of creation.

Geologists say that the Ural Mountains were formed 400 million years ago.

The Ural Mountains are a mountain system of the East European and West Siberian plains. This is a kind of border between two continents - Europe and Asia.

The formation took place as follows: the Eurasian and African lithospheric plates collided, as a result of which, one plate fell on the other.

The Ural Mountains stretch for 2,000 km, while their width reaches a minimum of 40 km, and a maximum of 150 km.

In one of the ancient references of the 11th century, the Ural Mountains were called the Earth Belt. Today the names Big Stone and Siberian Stone are also known.

But the name "Ural Mountains" first appears only in the XVII century in the report of Tatishchev. The researcher with his colleague Rychkov organized an expedition to study the mountains. Although it is impossible to attribute the name of the mountains to Tatishchev. In fact, he borrowed it from the local people of the Bashkirs, who just called the mountains that way.

In the Bashkir language, height or elevation means "үр *ör". After a series of transformations, the word "Ural" appears. But this should not be put an end to, as research disputes are still ongoing.

The height of the mountains is 1895 m, this is the height that the highest peak, Narodnaya, reaches.

More than 48 types of minerals have been found in the mountains - copper, nickel, iron ore, chromium, etc. But the main value is precious stones - amethyst, emeralds, jasper, malachite.

Part of the Ural Mountains from the Kosvinsky Kamen massif in the south to the banks of the Shchugor River in the north is called the Northern Urals. In this place, the width of the Ural Range is 50-60 kilometers. As a result of the uplift of ancient mountains and the impact of subsequent glaciations and modern frosty weathering, the territory has a mid-mountain relief, with flat tops.
The Northern Urals is very popular with tourists. Of particular interest are the rocks and remains of the Man-Pupu-Nier, Torre-Porre-Iz, and Muning-Tump massifs. Away from the watershed ridge are the main peaks of this part of the Urals: Konzhakovsky Kamen (1569 meters), Denezhkin Kamen (1492 meters), Chistop (1292), Otorten (1182), Kozhim-Iz (1195),

The northernmost peak of the Ural mountain system is Mount Telposiz in Komi. The object is located on the territory of the republic. Mount Telposis in Komi is composed of quartzite sandstones, 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, the oronym means ""Nest of the winds"".
The subpolar Urals is one of the most beautiful regions of our Motherland. Its ridges stretched in a wide arc from the sources 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 unexplored harsh nature, the abundance of fish in rivers and lakes, berries and mushrooms in the taiga attract travelers here. Good communication routes along the Northern Railway, on steamships and boats along the Pechora, Usa, Ob, Severnaya Sosva and Lyapin, as well as a network of airlines, make it possible to develop water, foot-water, foot and ski routes in the Subpolar Urals with the crossing of the Ural Range or along it western and eastern slopes.
A characteristic feature of the relief of the Subpolar Urals is the high height of the ridges with alpine landforms, the asymmetry of its slopes, the deep dissection of through transverse valleys and gorges, and the significant height of the passes. The highest peaks are located in the center of the Subpolar Urals.
The absolute height of the passes through 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 Unapproachable ridges are especially high and difficult to overcome, the slopes of which end in steep-walled cairns. The most easily passable passes through the Research Ridge (from 600 to 750 m above sea level) with relatively gentle, insignificant rises that make it easy to carry out portages are located in the southern part of the ridge between the upper reaches of the Puiva (right tributary of the Schekurya) and Torgovoi (right tributary of the Shchugor), as well as between the upper reaches of the Shchekurya, Manya (Lyapin basin) and Bolshoi Patok (right tributary of the Shchugor).
In the area of ​​​​Mount Narodnaya and on the Narodno-Itinsky ridge, the height of the passes is 900-1200 m, but even here many of them pass through paths along which portages from the upper reaches of the Khulga (Lyapin), Khaimayu, Grubeya, Khalmeryu, Narody to the upper reaches of the tributaries of the Lemva are relatively easy , on Kozhim and Balbanyo (Usa basin).

The subpolar Urals is one of the most beautiful regions of our Motherland. Its ridges stretched in a wide arc from the sources 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.

GEOLOGY
The Ilmenogorsk complex is located in the southern part of the Sysert-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 pegmat 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, makarochkinite, monazite-(Ce), polyakovite-(Ce), samarskite-(Y), bindite, ushkovite, fergusonite-beta-(Ce ), fluoromagnesioarfvedsonite, fluororichterite, chiolite, chevkinite-(Ce), aeschinite-(Ce).

Ilmensky Reserve

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 predominate in the south, while pine-birch and birch forests predominate in the north. On the western slopes of the Ilmensky mountains there is an array of old pine forests. There are areas of larch forests, stony, grass-forb and shrub steppes, moss swamps with cranberries and wild rosemary. More than 1200 species of plants, many endemic, relict and rare species have been noted in the flora. Ermine, forest ferret, Siberian weasel, wolf, lynx, flying squirrel, hares - hare and hare live, a brown bear comes in. Elk and roe deer are not numerous. Sika deer and beaver are acclimatized. Of the birds, grouse are common - capercaillie, black grouse, hazel grouse, gray partridge. Whooper swan and gray crane nest in the reserve, rare birds are noted - white-tailed eagle, imperial eagle, peregrine falcon, osprey, saker falcon, little bustard.

Since 1930, there has been a mineralogical museum founded by A.E. Fersman, which presents more than 200 different minerals found in the Ilmensky Range, including topazes, corundums, amazonites, etc.

In 1991, a branch was organized - the historical and landscape archaeological monument "Arkaim" with an area of ​​3.8 thousand hectares. It is located in the steppe foothills of the eastern Urals, in the Karagan valley. More than 50 archaeological monuments are preserved here: Mesolithic and Neolithic sites, burial grounds, Bronze Age settlements, and other historical objects. Of particular importance is the fortified settlement of Arkaim in the 17th-16th centuries. BC e.

Location:

Gremyachinsky district of the Perm Territory.

Monument type: Geomorphological.

Brief description: Weathering remnants in the Lower Carboniferous quartzite sandstones.

Status: Landscape monument of nature of regional significance.

A city turned to stone.

The city is located on the main peak of the Rudyansky Spoy ridge, the absolute height of which is 526 m above sea level. It is a powerful rocky massif composed of fine-grained quartz sandstones of the Lower Carboniferous, which are part of the 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, lanes and lanes of an ancient abandoned city.

The Urals is a mountainous country that stretches from north to south from the shores of the icy Kara Sea to the Central Asian steppes and semi-deserts. The Ural Mountains are the natural border between Europe and Asia.
In the north, the Urals ends with a low Pai-Khoi ridge, in the south - with the Mugodzhary mountain range. The total length of the Urals with Pai-Khoi and Mugodzhary is more than 2500 km.

In the east of the Orenburg region, the Guberlinsky Mountains (the southern part of the Ural Mountains) rise - one of the most beautiful places in the Orenburg region. The Guberlinsky Mountains are located 30-40 kilometers west of the city of Orsk on the right bank of the Urals, where the Guberlya River flows into it.

The Guberlinskie mountains represent a blurred edge of the high Orskaya steppe, strongly dissected and indented by the valley of the Guberli river, logs and gorges of its tributaries. Therefore, the mountains do not rise above the steppe, but lie below it.

They occupy a narrow strip along the valley of the Ural River, moving to the north into the high Orsk steppe, and to the west, on the right bank of the Guberli, they are replaced by a ridge low-mountain relief. The gentle eastern slope of the Guberlinsky Mountains imperceptibly passes into the plain, on which the city of Novotroitsk is located.

The territory occupied by the Guberlinsky mountains is about 400 square kilometers.

“From the open cracks of the clefts, an incessantly thin vapor rises, trembling against the sun, which is impossible to touch with a hand; the birch bark thrown there or dry chips in one minute ignited with a flame; in bad weather and on dark nights, it seems like a red flame or a fiery vapor several arshins high, ”wrote academician and traveler Pyotr Simon Pallas more than 200 years ago about an unusual mountain in Bashkiria.

A long time ago, Mount Yangantau was called differently: Karagosh-Tau or Berkutova Mountain. According to the good old tradition, "what I see, I call it." In order for the mountain to be renamed, some exceptional event had to occur. They say that this event even has an exact date: 1758. Lightning struck the mountain, all the trees and bushes on the southern slope caught fire. Since then, the mountain has become known under the name of Yangantau (Yangan-tau), translated from the Bashkir as “burnt mountain”. The Russians changed the name slightly: Burnt Mountain. However, despite the wide popularity and absolute uniqueness of Yangantau, the locals still remember the old name, Karagosh-tau, and still use it.

Hiking on Iremel can be carried out from May to October from the village of Tyulyuk (Chelyabinsk region). It can be reached from the railway station Vyazovaya (70 km).

The road to Tyulyuk is covered with gravel, asphalt to Meseda. There is a bus.

Ural mountains- the mountain range that crosses Russia from north to south is the border between two parts of the world and the two largest parts (macro-regions) of our country - European and Asian.

Geographical position of the Ural Mountains

The Ural Mountains stretch from north to south, mainly along the 60th meridian. In the north they bend towards the northeast, towards the Yamal Peninsula, in the south they turn towards the southwest. One of their features is that the mountainous territory expands as you move from north to south (this can be clearly seen on the map on the right). In the very south, in the region of the Orenburg region, the Ural Mountains connect with nearby elevations, such as General Syrt.

Strange as it may seem, the exact geological boundary of the Ural Mountains (hence the exact geographical boundary between Europe and Asia) still cannot be accurately determined.

The Ural Mountains are conditionally divided into five regions: Polar Urals, Subpolar Urals, Northern Urals, Middle Urals and Southern Urals.

To one degree or another, part of the Ural Mountains is captured by the following regions (from north to south): Arkhangelsk Region, Komi Republic, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Perm Territory, Sverdlovsk Region, Chelyabinsk Region, Republic of Bashkortostan, Orenburg Region , as well as part of Kazakhstan.

Professor D.N. Anuchin in the 19th century wrote about the variety of landscapes of the Urals:

“From the Konstantinovsky stone in the north to the Mugodzhar mountains in the south, the Urals show a different character in different latitudes. Wild, with rocky peaks in the north, it becomes forest, with more rounded outlines in the middle part, it again acquires rockiness in the Kyshtym Urals, and especially near Zlatoust and beyond, where the high Iremel rises. And these charming lakes of the Trans-Urals, bordered from the west by a beautiful line of mountains. These rocky shores of Chusovaya with its dangerous "fighters", these rocks of Tagil with their mysterious "scribes", these beauties of the southern, Bashkir Urals, how much material they provide for a photographer, painter, geologist, geographer!

Origin of the Ural Mountains

The Ural Mountains have a long and complex history. It begins back in the Proterozoic era - such an ancient and little-studied stage in the history of our planet that scientists do not even divide it into periods and epochs. Approximately 3.5 billion years ago, on the site of future mountains, a rupture of the earth's crust occurred, which soon reached a depth of more than ten kilometers. Over the course of almost two billion years, this fault widened, so that about 430 million years ago an ocean up to a thousand kilometers wide was formed. However, soon after this, the convergence of lithospheric plates began; the ocean disappeared relatively quickly, and mountains formed in its place. It happened about 300 million years ago - this corresponds to the era of the so-called Hercynian folding.

New large uplifts in the Urals resumed only 30 million years ago, during which the Polar, Subpolar, Northern and Southern parts of the mountains were raised by almost a kilometer, and the Middle Urals by about 300-400 meters.

At present, the Ural Mountains have stabilized - no major movements of the earth's crust are observed here. Nevertheless, they still remind people of their active history to this day: earthquakes happen here from time to time, and very large ones (the strongest had an amplitude of 7 points and was recorded not so long ago - in 1914).

Features of the structure and relief of the Urals

From a geological point of view, the Ural Mountains are very complex. They are formed by breeds of various types and ages. In many ways, the features of the internal structure of the Urals are associated with its history, for example, traces of deep faults and even sections of the oceanic crust are still preserved.

The Ural Mountains are medium and low in height, the highest point is Mount Narodnaya in the Subpolar Urals, reaching 1895 meters. In profile, the Ural Mountains resemble a depression: the highest ridges are located in the north and south, and the middle part does not exceed 400-500 meters, so that when crossing the Middle Urals, you can not even notice the mountains.

It can be said that the Ural Mountains were “unlucky” in terms of height: they were formed in the same period as Altai, but subsequently experienced much less strong uplifts. The result - the highest point of Altai, Mount Belukha, reaches four and a half kilometers, and the Ural Mountains are more than two times lower. However, such an "elevated" position of Altai turned into a danger of earthquakes - the Urals in this respect is much safer for life.

Despite relatively low altitudes, the Ural Range serves as an obstacle to air masses moving mainly from the west. More precipitation falls on the western slope than on the eastern slope. In the mountains themselves, in the nature of the vegetation, altitudinal zonation is pronounced.

The long, continuous struggle of volcanic forces against the forces of wind and water (in geography, the former are called endogenous, and the latter exogenous) has created a huge number of unique natural attractions in the Urals: rocks, caves and many others.

The Urals is also known for its vast reserves of minerals of all types. This is, first of all, iron, copper, nickel, manganese and many other types of ores, building materials. The Kachkanar iron deposit is one of the largest in the country. Although the metal content in the ore is low, it contains rare, but very valuable metals - manganese, vanadium.

In the north, in the Pechora coal basin, hard coal is mined. There are noble metals in our region - gold, silver, platinum. Undoubtedly, Ural precious and semi-precious stones are widely known: emeralds mined near Yekaterinburg, diamonds, gems of the Murzinskaya strip, and, of course, Ural malachite.

Unfortunately, many valuable old deposits have already been depleted. "Magnetic mountains", containing large reserves of iron ore, have been turned into quarries, and malachite reserves have been preserved only in museums and in the form of separate inclusions at the site of old mines - it is hardly possible to find even a three-hundred-kilogram monolith now. Nevertheless, these minerals largely ensured the economic power and glory of the Urals for centuries.
