The Main Ural is a mountain range on the border of the Sverdlovsk region (Northern Urals) and the Perm region. It stretches from northeast to southwest in the upper reaches of Sosva. Coincides with the main Ural watershed. The length of the ridge reaches 52 km. The altitude in the northern part is up to 1400 m, in the southern part – up to 1000 m. Highest point– Mount Humboldt (1410.7 m). Other significant peaks: Bolshaya Khodovskaya Sopka (1338.8 m), Mount Pallas (1337.7 m), Mount Lepekhina (1330 m), Trident (1204.5 m), Sosvinsky Kamen (954 m) and Kazansky Kamen (1035 m ).
The ridge is poorly dissected, the peaks are flat and dome-shaped, the slopes are steep, almost completely covered with fresh bedrock debris (kurumniks) with a dense network of tectonic disturbances. Up to 800-900 m, the slopes are covered with forest, higher up there are mountain tundra and meadows, and along the tops there are stone placers. @Illustrated Encyclopedia of Local Lore URAL, Kvist Publishing House, 2013

popular with tourists. Firstly, it is relatively easily accessible. Severouralsk is located 45 km from the southern end of the ridge, and the village of Vsevolodo-Blagodatskoye is 35 km from its northern end. Buses run to Severouralsk from Yekaterinburg (450 km), Vsevolodo-Blagodatskoye, in turn, is connected by bus from Severouralsk (45 km, buses run 3 times a day).
Before the resumption of the Denezhkin Kamen nature reserve, the routes traditionally coexisted with the Main Ural ridge and Mount Denezhkin Stone. On the one hand, this added complexity to the route, on the other hand, it made it possible to first see the next destination of the journey from afar, and then see the traversed section from the side. Denezhkin Stone is clearly visible from the State University of Agriculture even now, but tourists are not allowed there - it is a protected area.
However, the traverse of the Main Ural Range is still possible and interesting (52 km, difficulty category 1A in summer, 1B in winter). Both options require a long time and are only suitable for well-prepared travelers. Moreover, the winter traverse of GUKh can become a serious test for real pros: the air temperature here drops to -40°C, and the wind above the forest line knocks you off your feet. 
Six peaks of the Main Ural Range exceed 1000 m above sea level. The highest point of the ridge is Mount Humboldt (1410.7 m); on old maps it appears under the name Lyampa Kutimskaya, after the name of the river that originates from the lake on its slope. The peak was renamed in 2001 on the initiative of the Sverdlovsk branch of the Russian Geographical Society in memory of the German traveler and scientist Alexander Humboldt (1769-1859), who left a huge mark on the history of exploration of the Urals. 
As a “light” option, we recommend climbing the southernmost peaks of GUKh - mountains Sosvinsky Kamen (954 m) and Kazan Kamen (1035 m). Moreover, several bases have appeared near these peaks, and you can combine this trip with a trip to the Zhigalan waterfalls and a hike to Kvarush.

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 popular routes 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. After about 15 minutes, 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 east side, a mountain of stone boulders 3-4 meters high, and the western part of the plateau is covered with vegetation and there is already the 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 hiking trips. 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, at least all year round come here. 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.
Here it is wonderful place is on – mountainSosvinsky stone .

At the end of August 2011, we managed to escape to the north of our region - to the Main Ural Ridge (GUR). It is located strictly on the border of the Sverdlovsk region with the Perm region and stretches from south to north. I had already been to these parts before, in early November 2009. It was then that the first snow fell and the Main Ural Range greeted us with the first frosts of -22°C. But now it’s August, there won’t be any frost. The first snow in the mountains will fall only in September. So there's still time to enjoy beautiful views remote, northern taiga, not covered with a blanket of snow. And the views there are indeed very attractive. These are giant spruces, whose thin tops and branches are covered with lichen. And so many berries! Mom dear! Blueberries, blueberries - full of them!
But to come to those parts and visit only the Main Ural Range, or rather, only its Sosvinsky stone, would be wrong, since there are other attractions there, namely: the Kvarkush plateau and the waterfall of the Zhigolan River, which we, in fact, were going to! And the ridge itself was planned later.
Mount Kumba, near the village of Pokrovsk-Uralsky.
Northern crossings
But to be honest, these photos were taken a little later than the story requires. Because before these photos there were some other events. We arrived in Pokrovsk-Uralsky (the last settlement on the way) late at night, around 3 am... I was a guide, but I had trouble finding my bearings in the dark. Despite this, we found our way towards the mountains. We were driving along, when suddenly along the road our Volga got stuck in a hole. But a Corolla just passed here, but the Volga couldn’t - well, what is it! Let's get out, let's push her. It was pretty cool outside - zero, maybe minus. While we were pushing, we warmed up a little. They couldn't push me out. So what should I do? Well, luckily for us, a Niva was passing by. The guys came out, asked what was the problem, then attached a cable and pulled out our car. Let's move on, everything turned out okay. And the drive is very long, because the road is dirt, you can’t speed up very much on it! The waterfall is about 90 km away! Can you imagine? It's about a 3 hour drive, maybe more. In fact, it turned out to be more. It was already dawn when we reached the bridge over the Uls River.
River Uhls
We passed the Uls River - and then our driver told us the fateful news that he had little gasoline and would not have enough for the return journey. The sensor itself was already blinking. What to do? We decided to get to Zhigalan, do all our business there, and on the way back stop at the cordon, which, by the way, is not far from Uls. OK. Go. And it's a long drive, damn it. The distance in the north is measured not in kilometers, but in tens. The road is exhausting and monotonous. All around is taiga, taiga and taiga. Beautiful, but completely the same. And then suddenly the driver announced that the gasoline had completely run out. We drove down the hill, at the finish line towards Zhigalan, but Zhigalan was still not there. The driver simply put it in neutral and rolled down the hill by inertia until the car stopped completely. What's the matter? - The Corolla passengers asked us. In what way - we have arrived! Gasoline is out! Holy shit, how did it end? We are in the remote northern taiga, 90 km from the nearest village! What an ambush!..
We left the car on the road, opposite the turn. We waited for the Toyota to return with gasoline for about 2-3 hours, or maybe more - I don’t remember now. We lit a fire, picked blueberries, fortunately there were no more.
After the Toyota returned, we had lunch, listened with a smile to the abusive words addressed to the Volga driver, we got ready and went to the mountains.
On the way we came across centuries-old cedars and huge inversions. The northern taiga is simply amazing!

Here it is - the Main Ural Ridge. The Sosvinsky stone was covered with clouds. This means that, according to tradition, we won’t see a damn thing again!
Okay, let's move on, there's already a lot of time, we need to act quickly to make it before dark. Last time, in November, I climbed to the top in snow in 3 hours, and descended in 2.5. We proceeded from these parameters. At first the path was carefully laid out from boards, but then, when the kurumnik begins, there are no more boards.
Mountain streams flow with clear water
We've reached a fork in the road. Although we thought it was a fork in the road. The main road turned left, but we decided to start the climb here. Which we later regretted!

Oh, how I love them!
Juniper bushes
Soon it began to become cloudy
In the end, we all got a little lost. We split into three groups. The two of us went straight to the top and climbed it. We waited for the others, but they were still not there, then we heard screams. We followed the sound and went down. Everything was covered in clouds, visibility was very poor, so they began to look for three more. Found by screams. We need to go down. Again there is confusion, one says: we must go to the right, I say: we must go to the left. This is what happens when a team doesn’t want to listen to one person. So it turns out that some go to the forest, some for firewood! In the end, we still went left, descended, the fog began to subside - we saw a base in the distance.
It's starting to get dark. We reached the border of the forest with the tundra, but we can’t find the way back now. While we were walking, we seemed to be remembering things from the bushes. But where can you find them now?
In short, we got lost! And life doesn’t teach me, a fool! Last time I also got lost on the way down. It’s easy to go up, you can see where to go, but it’s not clear to go down. Find your way around the base? Yeah, plus or minus a kilometer it will work out. In short, we rushed around for a long time, looking for the place where we came in, in the end we gave up and decided to spend the night here... No, I’m kidding - we stupidly ran straight through. We reached the taiga and walked through it. I remember that the road ran along it, so we had to go out onto it. Well, what if she turned left? It’s too late to think so, let’s go already! We went out onto the road, it was already dark. But walking along the road - what a difference. We reached our transport, tired, having not slept for the second day, wet and hungry. We quickly ate, changed clothes (whoever had what) and didn’t spend the night here - we went home. Everyone in the car was simply knocked out, but you can’t sleep - you have to watch the driver so that he doesn’t fall asleep.
Well, theoretically, it’s like the end, but I’ll still tell you something else... We left for the Serovsky tract, it was night. It's time to refuel. We stopped and turned off the engine. They poured 76 into the tank. And it was a mistake! Then they couldn’t start it) They didn’t torture the starter for a long time, because the battery would run out. Let's push - it's useless. What to do? We tried to brake the car, but it was useless, since it was night - no one would stop. We went to bed until the morning. We slept for a couple of hours, I woke up from the cold, woke up the driver - and we went to the nearest village. Luckily for us, we stopped almost next to the sign settlement. The village was 1 km away. We walked around and woke up the locals. A man got out, got into his Niva with him, drove to our Volga, and with the help of the Niva, they started it on a rope “from the pusher”. Let's go - and then the cops stopped us. While this guy went to face a fine, I sat and only managed to start the car. And it stalled, because in addition the engine was running rough!!! These are the pies! Well, it’s okay, somehow we got home. Everyone is alive, the Main Ural Ridge and the Sosvinsky stone have been conquered (at least by me) - so we can live on!
Main Ural Ridge - and this is official geographical name 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.
Main Ural Ridge: description
Taiga fir-spruce and cedar forests reach up the ridge up to 800-900 meters, then there is birch forest 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 there is a border Reserve "Denezhkin Stone", 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.”
Looking north from humboldt peaks you can see two more peaks - Mount Pallas, named after another Russian-German naturalist who visited here in 1770, and Mount Lepekhina, which bears the name of academician-systematist of living nature, the first Russian researcher of medicinal plants Ivan Ivanovich Lepekhin.
Other significant peaks: Great Khodovskaya Sopka(1338.8 m), Sosvinsky Stone(954 m) and Kazan Stone(1035 m).

Main Ural Ridge: history of the name
The entire chain of the Ural Mountains stretches in continuous elevation almost from Arctic Ocean all the way 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 other than the Ural Range or simply the Main Range.
In ancient times these mountains were called. The Mansi people call it Ner - “stone”, “stone wall”. He always serves local residents a natural barrier to the dominant 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.
Main Ural Range It’s beautiful all year round, but it’s worth considering that in winter, from the end of May to October, you can only get there by snowmobile.
Main Ural Ridge: how to get there?
First you need to get to Severouralsk by car, this is the most convenient option, by bus (from Yekaterinburg there are buses several times a day, cost about 1000 rubles, from Perm there is a direct flight without transfers once a day, leaves in the morning, cost 1300 rubles) or by train to Serov or Ivdel, the distance from them 80-90 km to Severouralsk. 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 which case you will have time to see the GUH in the southern part and the Zhigolansky 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 need to ford, and then again look for a path through the swamp. It is approximately 6-7 km to the foot of GUKh. To stay overnight, 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, Sporsmenov-Skiers, Mount Pallas, Mount Lepekhina.
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.
NameIn 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), Norosy, "Norosskie" - the Southern Urals, from which the Daiks river flows (Ural?) and northern part- The Hyperborean Riphean Mountains are clearly the watershed between the Caspian, Black Sea and Baltic basins (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 structureThe 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:
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. MineralsThe 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 (Bazhenovskoye) 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 aspectsThe conventional border between Europe and Asia runs along the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains. Geographically, the Ural Mountains are divided into five parts:
In the north, a continuation of the Ural ridge can be considered mountain system Pai-Khoi, in the south - Mugodzhary. PeaksHighest peaks:
