Zones of the Urals. Anomalous zones of the Urals. Lake Itkul takes ninth place

In order to meet aliens, tourists do not have to save money for a flight into space. As it turned out, supernatural phenomena, ghosts, UFOs and other miracles are not so rare in the Chelyabinsk region. The list of “anomalous zones” of the Ural region and partly the Urals was created by employees of the Sredneuralsk Research Group “Ekaterinburg-Kosmopoisk”.

Many anomalous zones have been discovered in the Chelyabinsk region. The most frequently mentioned of them is Arkaim. Let us remind you that this is an ancient settlement located in the south of the region in a foothill valley on the eastern slopes Ural mountains.
In legends, this place is called the main spiritual center of ancient Siberia and the Urals. Following the scientists, psychics, prophets, members of various religious sects, and simply people thirsting for healing and enlightenment flocked to Arkaim. All of them unanimously declare the unusualness and strength of the local energy. In Arkaim, in fact, various energy phenomena are not uncommon. By the way, they have not only a fantastic, but also a completely scientific geophysical explanation: Arkaim stands on the site of a once active paleovolcano.

It has now been recognized: here is the ancestral home of the ancient Aryans, which scientists have been looking for for so long over a vast territory from the Danube steppes to the Irtysh region; happened here on the verge of the 3rd - 2nd millennia BC. The division of the Aryans into two branches, Indo-Iranian and Iranian, has long been “calculated” by linguists... And some of the scientists who are so restrained in their assumptions are even ready to declare these places the birthplace of Zoroaster, the creator of the sacred hymns of the Avesta, as legendary as Buddha or Mohammed. It sounds wow: Zarathushtra is a Uralian, our fellow countryman?!

But even if you hold back your imagination and reduce your emotions, even then the South Ural archaeological find borders on a miracle. After all, this is one of those discoveries that force scientists to reconsider for decades - if not centuries - a built-in system of views on a vast and ideologically important area of research. The phenomenon of Arkaim forced historians to change their ideas about the Bronze Age on the territory of the Ural-Kazakh steppes. Now it turned out that they were not the outskirts of the world that was entering the era of civilization: the high level of development of metallurgy provided this region with a very noticeable place in the cultural space stretching from the Mediterranean to present-day Kazakhstan and Central Asia.

TOWER OF TAMERLANE

Another South Ural anomaly is the Tamerlane Tower or the Kesene Mausoleum. This is one of the most ancient fortress-type structures located in the Urals, which is located in the steppe near the village of Varna, southeast of Chelyabinsk. It is assumed that the tower, made of red brick of extraordinary strength, was built no later than the 14th century. The purpose of the majestic tower-mausoleum is still debated by historians who cannot come to a consensus.

MOUNTAIN KRUGLICA

The highest point of the entire Taganay mountain range (1178 m above sea level). It is located 19 km northeast of Zlatoust. Distance from Chelyabinsk – 140 km, from Yekaterinburg – 260 km.

The mountain received its name for its characteristic round shape. The top of Kruglitsa is called the Bashkir hat for its resemblance to the Turkic headdress. Kruglitsa is also called the Round Hill, the Round Taganay and even the Mandarin Hat for the characteristic bump at the very top.

Mount Kruglitsa was described by Nicholas Roerich as a point of contact with the Cosmic Mind, as were Mount Belukha in Altai and Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus. At the top of the mountain, in his opinion, is the focal point of the Temple of Light.

Kruglitsa is significantly lower in height than its two sisters; the living conditions here are much more comfortable. Having climbed up, you need to sit down comfortably and certainly take in the cosmic energy for a couple of hours. That's enough for a long time.

From Kruglitsa you can admire Zlatoust, the Otkliknaya ridge, Mount Itsyl, and Dalny Taganay. Visible from there in good weather and Lake Turgoyak with the city of Miass.

IGNATEVSKAYA CAVE

Ignatievskaya Cave, with a total length of almost 550 meters, is loved by ghost hunters. It is located in the Katav-Ivanovsky district, near the village of Serpievka, on the right bank of the mountain river Sim. In the cave, drawings of ancient people, which are about 15 thousand years old, flint products, and animal bones were found. Underground halls and galleries, located in hard-to-reach places and far from daylight, most likely had sacred significance and served as a place for ritual activities. The cave got its name from the name of the cell attendant Ignatius, who lived and was buried in it. The holy elder was revered even after his death; masses of people from neighboring factories and villages flocked to him.

According to legend, the spirit of St. Ignatius comes out to the edge of the cave at night and looks at the Moon. As tourists note, strange voices and footsteps are heard here at night. In the cave itself and near it, batteries quickly run out, flashlights burn out, camera flashes refuse to work, and people seem to sense someone’s invisible presence. And in one of the halls it is very difficult to get high-quality photographs - a “white transparent veil” appears on them.

SAID ON ALEXANDROVSKAYA SOPKA

Ancient megalithic structure. Located on the slope of the Alexander Hill near the city of Zlatoust.

Distance from Zlatoust – 8 km, from Yekaterinburg – 260 km, from Chelyabinsk – 140 km, from Ufa – 265 km, from Miass – 20 km. Coordinates: N 55° 07’50”; E 59° 48’25”
Seidom is usually called a sacred object of northern European peoples, in particular the Sami. However, due to little knowledge, it is currently impossible to unambiguously identify the Sami as the only builders of stone seids. Seid is a special place in the mountains, tundra, taiga or some noticeable stone, stump, lake and other natural formations. Seids can also include artifacts - structures made of stones. Seids are most often found in Russia on Kola Peninsula, as well as in Scandinavia. There are also rocks on stands - placed in an unstable position or partially raised. Sometimes, due to the massiveness of many artifacts, seids are classified as megalithic structures.
IN different time seids had cult significance. For example, one Sami legend said that when fishermen went to sea, they left part of their soul on the shore in a stone seid, so that if they died, it would not be devoured by a monster. Some seids were used sporadically, in connection with calendar or other events. Other seids were related to a specific person. According to some ancient legends, people could use a stone seid. Sacrifices were also made to stone seids. One of them could only be approached in certain time, you couldn’t get close to others at all. And some seids were not allowed for women to approach.

ILMENSKY RESERVE

In the Ilmensky Nature Reserve, on the slope adjacent to the city of Miass, the phenomenon of “bottomless holes” occurs. These gaps are visible only in the spring, when water from melting snow flows into them and large thawed patches appear. They are no more than 15 centimeters in diameter, but their depth cannot be determined. It is believed that such holes form UFOs, extracting rare earth elements for the needs of “aliens.” In addition, phenological anomalies were noted here in 2004.

A corner of nature that is remarkable in its beauty and unique in its diversity of minerals, the Ilmen Mountains, has long attracted scientists and stone lovers. The history of Ilmen exploration began more than 200 years ago, when it became known in Russia and Europe about the richness and originality of the Ilmen Mountains.
The history of studying Ilmen began more than 200 years ago, and this story is excitingly interesting and sometimes resembles a good detective story, with a dizzying plot. Here they were looking for one thing, but found another; discovered minerals that then “disappeared” for decades and did not always “appear” again; Mutually exclusive scientific theories were created on the same material.

More than two hundred years ago, in the troubled times of the Pugachev era and peasant unrest, the Cossack of the Chebarkul fortress Prutov found an unusual pebble in the forests near Lake Ilmensky, as they said then - “pure water”. The stone turned out to be topaz, one of the most expensive and fashionable gems at that time. “Stone fever” has begun. In a short period of time, beryl, aquamarine, amazonite, and phenacite were discovered in Ilmeny; Intensive extraction of topaz has been established.

TAGANAY PARK

Taganay National Park is also famous for its fantastic phenomena. And in the last 15 years, the properties of an anomalous zone have been attributed to the Taganay ridge massif. There are constant references to encounters in the area with “Bigfoot,” frequent UFO overflights and landings, contacts with the Higher Mind, local chronomirages, appearances of ghosts, changes in the physical flow of time, and also inexplicable feelings of fear and anxiety.
Some say that in some places the usual passage of time disappears, others claim that they personally met the “Kialim Grandma”. For example, one winter in Dalny Taganay, even the director of the weather station saw her near the bottom well. Seeing the director, the “grandmother” rushed headlong into the depths of the taiga. She was barefoot and lightly dressed, although the frost was fierce.

LAKE ITKUL

Translated from Bashkir, Itkul means “meat lake,” since “it” (“meat”) and “kul” (“lake”). Scientists believe that the lake was given this name because of the abundance of various fish in it. Although there is a version that, on the orders of the Demidovs, several convoys of pork were thrown there in order to drive away the Muslims who lived near the reservoir and were protesting against industrial work. But this is not the fact that Lake Itkul is notorious. And the fact that in the middle of its water surface the so-called “Shaitan Stone” rises threateningly. There is a version that in ancient times, human sacrifices were made on this stone for the sake of the harvest and good weather. It is noteworthy that centuries later, people’s lives continue to end near this stone. A lot of swimmers drowned, and those who survived describe an unpleasant feeling as if some kind of energy cord was passing through them.

ISLAND OF FAITH

An island on Lake Turgoyak, located near its western shore. Notable for the location on it megalithic structures. The area of the island is 6.5 hectares. Distance from Miass – 13 km, from Chelyabinsk – 90 km, from Yekaterinburg – 200 km, from Ufa – 320 km.

The small island - only 800 meters at its widest point - holds an incredible number of secrets. After a thorough examination, many discoveries were made that amazed archaeologists. The oldest historical monument on the island is the Neanderthal site, it is about 60 thousand years old! But the main finds were megaliths. Megaliths are prehistoric structures made of large stone blocks joined together without the use of cement or lime mortar. The megaliths found on Vera Island are classified as dolmens. Dolmens are called megaliths, which in ancient times were funerary and religious buildings. The megaliths located on the island, according to scientists, were presumably built about 6000 years ago, in the 4th millennium BC. e. It is assumed that approximately 5–8 thousand years ago an earthquake occurred on the island and sharply rising water flooded the ancient dwelling and then left.

The megaliths of Vera Island are a mysterious, unique complex of megaliths discovered by archaeologists in 2004. The megaliths were allegedly built about 6,000 years ago, in the 4th millennium BC. uh

The largest structure on the island is megalith No. 1 - a stone structure measuring 19×6 m, cut into the rocky ground and covered with massive stone slabs. The walls of the structure are made using dry masonry from massive stone blocks. The megalith consists of three chambers and corridors connecting them. In two chambers of the megalith, rectangular pits were found carved into the rock. The connection between the building and the main astronomical directions has been recorded. Two sculptures were discovered inside the megalith - a bull and a wolf. The building is tentatively interpreted as a temple complex.

Cross on the Island of Faith - according to esotericists, the Island of Faith is an energy source of strength.

The cult site “Island of Faith 9” is an artificially leveled site with a system of menhirs (menhirs are vertically placed oblong stone slabs). The central object on the site is a menhir surrounded by several large stones. The height of the menhir is about 1 m, a natural quartz vein gives its upper part a beak-like shape, and an image of a fish is carved into the base of the menhir.

At some distance to the west of this central menhir, another stood in ancient times. Their center line sets the direction "west-east", at sunrise on the day of the equinox. The system of landmarks in ancient times consisted of another menhir, which, together with the central one, formed the direction “northwest - southeast”, for sunrise on the day of the winter solstice.

AVERKINA CAVE

A little-studied cave, equipped for housing by unknown persons. Located on the banks of the Ai River not far from the village of Ailino in the Satka region. Distance from Satka – 22 km, from Chelyabinsk – 196 km, from Miass – 102 km. Coordinates: 55°12 36 N 58°53 12 E

Averkina cave (pit) is located on the banks of the Ai River. It is difficult to find it without a guide - it is hidden in a forest-covered rock. The entrance to the cave is an almost vertical 20-meter drop. Inside there are two grotto rooms, as well as an underground lake with drinkable water. So far, it has been possible to study about 100 m of the underground passages of the cave, but they claim that its size is significantly larger.

It has now been established that the cave was named after the schismatic Kerzhak Averky, who appeared on the shores of Ai over a hundred years ago. He lived in this cave for several years and then suddenly disappeared. This disappearance caused a lot of speculation.

According to another well-established opinion, the remnants of Pugachev’s army hid here until their death. The gold stolen by Emelyan Pugachev was also hidden here. They even say that ancient coins were found in the Averka pit. By the way, it is possible that it is still stored in the secret passages of the cave.

According to some reports, the cave was a lair for counterfeiters of the 18th century. And the found wooden machine was precisely intended for creating counterfeit money.

DELISH SWAMP near Miass

A small lake overgrown with grass and bushes. Local residents often talk about anomalies in the swamp area.

Distance from Miass – 50 km. Coordinates: exact coordinates are unknown.
Although the lake is small, it is impossible to approach it. No matter who tries, everyone is overcome by some inexplicable fear.

Residents of nearby villages tell visiting ufologists that they often see barely visible balls in the sky, hovering over this swamp. Only a few days pass after such “reconnaissance”, and at night a mysterious glow appears here. And at least once every six months, the sky above the reservoir seems to be illuminated by a huge, powerful spotlight. On such nights, the village dogs hide in their kennels with their tails between their legs. Horses, pigs, cows, on the contrary, rush about in the barns and try to break free. Such mystical nights affect not only animals, but also modern electronic equipment. Televisions in the homes of surrounding residents usually work poorly: they only receive two or three channels, and even then the image is like sand in a kinescope. But as soon as the light comes on over the swamp, the televisions in the houses are transformed, and then it seems that the Ostankino tower is in the middle of the village.
Someone even saw ghostly silhouettes rolling luminous balls across the field. The old people say that this is an evil spirit. Even the atmosphere near and on the field itself was sharply different from the usual state. People were seized with inexplicable fear, and the horses stopped listening and always wanted to turn in the direction opposite to the field. They say that animals sense danger.
Until now, the swamp is characterized as something strange, incomprehensible and inexplicable. But it is impossible to deny the fact that these “damn” places have high energy. Perhaps this affects the surrounding nature, the appearance of glare, lights and glows, strange behavior animals, on the feelings of people, on their condition and on time, which flows, sometimes faster, sometimes slower... changing our lives.

STONE MAHADI-TASH

The miraculous stone Mahadi-Tash is located in the Kunashak region near the village of Ust-Bagaryak at the junction of three regions - Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk and Kurgan (on a hillock, on the left bank of the Sinara River, a little above the village). According to the local Tatar population, this is a sacred stone, which, by the way, some of them still worship. It looks like a forehead-shaped limestone block, furrowed with wrinkles and cracks. There is also a noticeable dent on it - the mark of Saint Mahadi.

ARAKUL SHIKHANS

The place is notable for the fact that there are mysterious dolmens there (original “boxes” of heavy boulders). Members of the Kosmopoisk-Ural movement write about these objects: “The Ural dolmens differ from the well-known Caucasian ones in the method of construction and in size. In addition, scientists are still arguing about the purpose of dolmens, as well as their exact age; today there is no concrete answer about who built these “boxes” and why.”

And in addition to the dolmens, the legends about a certain Grandma Shikhanka, who lives in the Arakul Shikhans, have set the teeth on edge. Rumor has it that an evil spirit, taking the form of a weak old woman, wanders through the mountains and brings trouble to tourists. Meeting her does not bode well. They say that those who saw Babka Shikhanka only have time to tell about their meeting, and then they inevitably die. Of course, under the most mysterious circumstances.

MOSKAL RIDGE (Witch Mountain)

The ridge is located on the territory of the Zyuratkul National Park in the southwest of the lake of the same name, in the Satka region. The ridge stretches from southwest to northeast. Distance from Chelyabinsk – 145 km, from Ekaterinburg – 352 km, from Satka – 25 km. Coordinates: 54°51 24 N 59°5 4 E

To the west of the ridge is the valley of the Malaya Satka river, and beyond it is the Bolshaya Suka ridge. In the north, the Zyuratkul ridge is a continuation. In the southwest there is a small ridge Uvan, in the east and southeast, behind Maly Kyl and Bolshaya Kalagaza there is a wall of the Nurgush ridge, with the most high mountain Chelyabinsk region - Bolshoy Nurgush (1406 m).

Moskal breaks off in the east directly into Lake Zyuratkul.
Among the mountain ranges of the ridge, geologists discovered a unique paleovolcano, and in its crater - a real underground storehouse. The Moskal “box” contains more than 70 minerals. And this is on an area of just one square kilometer.
The meaning of the word “Moskal”, “maskal” is derived not from the name Russian, popular among some fraternal peoples, but from the Bashkir “meskey” - “witch”. That is, Witch Mountain or Witch Mountain. The origin of this name is unclear, but it is worth noting that the area in the area is full of such eerie names. In particular, “zyuratkul” is translated as “lake-cemetery.”

In addition there is a large number of scary legends about the surrounding area. Back in the 19th century, there was a temple (pagan temple) here.

Fans of esoteric teachings compare the Moskal ridge with Tibet, and Mount Big Kalagazu with sacred mountain Kailash. Unnoticeable to the uninitiated, streams of energy, they say, actually flow in these places. The silence and peace of the surrounding areas promotes spiritual relaxation, meditation and self-contemplation.

KASLINA ANOMALY

It all started when members of the Ural branch of the Kosmopoisk movement discovered strange circles in satellite images. Several versions immediately arose about their origin. One of them was that the circles are similar to those in Arkaim and represent the remains of an ancient settlement. The second version can be conditionally called “ufological”, well, you know, inexplicable crop circles, mysterious drawings, as if made by the hand of a giant.

The third version was called military. It was she, as it later turned out, who was closest to the truth. It turned out that this place was once a radio testing ground for testing and adjusting secret products of the Radiy plant. The plant specialized in the production of defense radio equipment; the names of previously closed samples, which were tested at the test site, with a concentric movement system, even became known from open sources. Experiments with secret equipment are believed to have left strange marks on the ground.

SOURCE White Key

One of the most ancient springs in the world. Located at an altitude of 675 meters on the southeastern slope of the Dvuglavaya Sopka in the Taganay National Park. Distance from Yekaterinburg – 270 km, from Chelyabinsk – 150 km. Coordinates: 55°15 48 N 59°46 40 E

The water in this source has not stopped flowing for millions of years. In 1990, Moscow State University specialists analyzed the water of this spring and it turned out that its softness was much higher than that of melted snow. That is, there are practically no mineral salts in it.
The bottom of the high-mountain spring is covered with quartzites, and therefore seems to emit light, and shimmers beautifully on sunny days. However, most often the color appears white - hence the name "white key".

The water temperature in the source is always very low - even in the hottest weather it does not exceed 3-4 degrees. It is curious that this spring used to have a different name. They called it "Holy Key". The fact is that since ancient times, the water of this source was credited with miraculous powers.

The Old Believers who lived in these places valued its healing properties so highly that they healed people from a wide variety of diseases at the White Spring. And in one of the areas where it flows, there once even stood a large wooden cross. What happened to him is unknown. But along with the cross, the name also disappeared. However, this is unlikely to affect the quality of water. By the way, tourists say that they have never tasted tastier water than in this spring.

LAKE ZYURATKUL

The origin of the toponym is from the Bashkir Yurak-Kul. Yurak or y?r?k means heart.

Russian scientist-encyclopedist Peter Pallas wrote: “In the corner between them there is a mediocre mountain Satka-Tau, which seems to be a separate part of the large and extensive mountain Yurak-Tau up the Big Satka to the south...
Yurak-Tau means heart-mountain, and it seems that it got its name because of the towering blunt top, which is completely bare and rocky. On this mountain lies the memorable lake Yurak-Kul, into which many streams flow and from which the Bolshaya Satka flows.” Over time, Yurak-Kul was transformed into Zyurak-Kul, and then Zyuratkul. There is also another version of the origin of the name of the reservoir. Not far from it there is an old cemetery, so it is called Zyuratkul - Lake at the cemetery (Bashk. zyurat - cemetery, Bashk. kul - lake.

In the State Water Register of the Russian Federation, Lake Zyuratkul is called Lake Zyurat-Kul, on state topographic maps- Lake Zyuratkul.

GEOGLYPH ON LAKE ZYURATKUL

A huge geoglyph in the shape of an elk or deer has been discovered in Russia, which may be thousands of years older than the famous Nazca Lines in Peru. The stone structure is located near Lake Zyuratkul in the Satka district of the Chelyabinsk region ( Southern Urals). In the photographs one can discern an elongated snout, four legs and two horns. Satellite images from 2007 on Google Earth They also hint at a tail, but in newer photographs it is not so clearly visible.

Residents of the village of Suleya in the Satka region often encounter “Bigfoot” in the forest. Also not far from Suleja there is a swamp that is notorious: hairy creatures are also seen there. Getting caught by them is considered a bad omen...

SUGOMAK CAVE

Sugomak cave is located on the eastern slope of Mount Sugomak, five kilometers from Kyshtym. It is the main local attraction and is a cavity consisting of three grottoes, which are connected by narrow passages. The third grotto is partially filled with water. There, speleologists allegedly found small crustaceans unknown to science. And representatives of Cosmopoisk, using an echo sounder, discovered at least three strange objects here under a layer of silt. The echo sounder showed that disc-shaped hollow structures of unknown origin lie in the lake at a depth of up to 8 meters. There are also flooded passages underwater, leading, in all likelihood, to new sections of the cave. In the Urals, the Sugomak cave is the only cavity carved out in marble by water. The mountain itself, in which the Sugomak cave is located, is considered a “place of power.” Local psychics come here to “recharge their energy.”

SPRING OF SAINT AULIUS

Located near Chebarkul near Lake Aushkul and the village of Starobairamgulovo. It shoots out from under Mount Aushkul. Distance from Chebarkul – 60 km, from Chelyabinsk – 140 km, from Ufa – 250 km. Coordinates: 54°43’12″N 59°42’19″E

The source is located approximately 200 meters above the ground and can be reached along the gentle slope of Mount Aushtau (Aush-Tash). Further steep road leads to the top of the mountain, whose height is 646 meters. There are prayer pavilions, which are constantly full of Muslims, and three graves lined with stones.
On one of the graves there is a granite slab with an inscription in ancient Arabic: “This is the preacher of the faith - Sheikh Muhammet Mignan Alusa - 1258 during the time of Berke Khan - the state of Berke Khan.” The stove was brought from Bishkek in 1905 and installed to replace the previously existing one. Nearby are the graves of Saints Aulia and Diwana. This is how the classic Islamic triad developed: Sheikh - teacher, Auliya - saint, Diwana - blessed. The mountain and its shrines are known to Muslims all over the world. In Bashkir, the spring is called Aulia shishmakhe (??li?shishm??e), which means “Source of the Holy One”.
The Aulia spring flows only once a year, in the spring when the snow melts. It starts in May and lasts only about three weeks. The spring water is very soft. Many people notice the healing properties of the spring water: it normalizes metabolism, increases physical and mental performance, strengthens the immune system and slows down the aging process. It is impossible to count all the diseases from which St. Aulius water helps people - psoriasis, kidney and gallstones, allergies, heart diseases...
For many years now, thousands of people have been coming to the spring in the spring to stock up on healing water. Every year thousands of pilgrims from all over Russia and even from other countries come to Mount Aushtau (Aush-Tash). Sometimes the healing spring flows for a whole month. The water in the source can be found at other times of the year, but it is believed that it does not have the same healing power as in May.

LAKE SHAYTANKA

For example, sometimes underground waters begin to rise sharply and splash out, as if over the edge of Shaitanka, flooding the area with a peat mass that emits an unbearable stench. At the same time, the water in the lake seems to boil. All these phenomena were previously associated with the machinations of evil spirits, which is why they gave the lake the appropriate name. And now local residents, already quite savvy in matters of esotericism and extrasensory perception, they say that there is bad energy there.

MOUNTAIN JURMA

Extreme northern point Southern Urals. The mountain belongs to the territory of the Taganay National Park. Distance from Karabash – 8 km, from Chelyabinsk – 90 km, from Miass – 55 km, from Yekatenrinburg – 180 km. Coordinates: 55°30 36 N 60°0 27 E.

Mount Yurma is located north of the Bolshoy Taganay ridge. At the same time, Yurma is the southernmost and highest peak of the Yurma ridge of the same name. The height of Yurma is 1009 meters above sea level. It is customary to draw the northern border of the Southern Urals along it.
From Bashkir, the word “Yurma” is most often translated as “Don’t go.” It is in this imperative mood. According to one version, this name is connected with the fact that in the old days the places around Yurma were very difficult to walk. Swamps and dense forest. Therefore, it was quite difficult to get to Yurma.

According to another version, Yurma was a sacred and forbidden mountain. Therefore, not everyone was allowed to climb it. In this case, Yurma is no different from Iremel, which was also forbidden for a long time.
There is also a version that derives the name Yurma from the Bashkir word - “dense forest”, as well as from the name of the Bashkir tribe Yurmaty. A ridge with this name exists between the Belaya and Nugush rivers.

The Yurma mountain and ridge are very popular among tourists. Climbing it, of course, is not done as often as Taganay, but still the folk trail to Yurma is not overgrown.

At the top there is a plateau covered with low, “park” forest. Near Yurma there are numerous rocky outcrops that attract tourists even more than the mountain itself. For example, two rocks called the Devil's Gate, located on the slope of Jurma, are widely known and popular.

MIASS ANOMAL ZONE

The zone is located in the Ural ridge region near the city of the same name. When tourists enter this zone, they feel a surge of inexplicable horror. Distance from Chelyabinsk – 115 km, from Ekaterinburg – 220 km, from Ufa – 282 km. Coordinates: 55°5 54N 60°6 10

From the beginning of the 19th century. In the vicinity of Miass, mining, gold and marble extraction are carried out. Numerous tourists, travelers, local residents and researchers of the Urals have repeatedly reported attacks of inexplicable horror that attacked them in a certain place. Geologists associate the anomalous manifestations with karst sinkholes; specialists in anomalous zones attribute the inexplicable proximity to the State Rocket Center named after V.P. Makeev.

In this center, the later famous “Kozyrev mirrors” were discovered - a kind of apparatus for traveling to other worlds.
Engineers built a unique “cosmodrome” in Miass to test this device, which is a collection of spiral-shaped mirror planes. Many researchers believe that this device has a great future. However, not a single experiment was completed. During the experiments, the subjects experienced strange psychophysical sensations, felt transported to other worlds and times, after which they had a feeling of some danger and the experiment was always interrupted.
Anomaly specialists believe that a side effect of the invention of the unique apparatus was the emergence of an anomalous zone in the Miass region.

GRAVE OF EVDOKIA MAKHONKOVA (Saint Dunyasha)

Located in the village of Chudinovo, Oktyabrsky district. Distance to Chelyabinsk – 70 km, from Oktyabrsky – 30 km, from Yekaterinburg – 280 km, from Orsk – 480 km.
The grave of Evdokia Makhankova, better known among the people as Saint Dunyasha (Dunyushka), turned the small village of Chudinovo, Oktyabrsky district, into a place of pilgrimage. People come here not only from the Chelyabinsk region, but also from other regions.

Evdokia Makhankova has not been canonized to date; documents are being collected to canonize her. But many already consider her a saint for her righteous lifestyle and for the fact that she grants miraculous healing after her death. Many come to Dunyasha specifically for help; others simply want to venerate the grave of the local righteous woman.

Information is passed on from mouth to mouth about how Dunyasha helped in healing illnesses, having children, finding a family, financial and housing issues.
There is no need to bring photographs to Dunyasha’s grave - they say that Dunyasha herself will understand who needs help and what. At the same time, Dunyasha is picky and will not help someone who is “disliked” to her.

They notice that strange things often happen when visiting Dunyushka’s grave. For example, the sun suddenly begins to shine brightly during rain.
Evdokia's grave is located in the old village cemetery in the village of Chudinovo. A mini-chapel was built around it. The chapel appeared here through the efforts of enthusiasts who came here several times and knew that the grave was in no way protected from snow, wind, rain, or scorching sun. It was decided to build a chapel in the form of a large greenhouse. It is warm, light and dry. In addition, the area around the grave was landscaped - a path was laid out to the grave, a garden was laid out.

HOLY SIMEON (Novo-Tikhvin) MONASTERY

The monastery is not active.

Year of foundation: approximately 1860. Kasli district, 15 km into the forest from the village of Bulzi.
A mysterious, anomalous church, popularly called simply the Freedom Church, is a place where instruments malfunction, a compass does not work, in the dungeons of which lies a secret that six nuns did not give up and were shot, whose souls still hover in the vicinity of the church. It is here that, according to assurances, the revival of human civilization will take place.

Geophysicists with their instruments, together with dowsers with their frames, walked around the contours of the cathedral and received signals about the presence of underground galleries. Detailed studies were carried out on the site in front of the apse. It turned out that from under the altar hall of the temple two underground passages. Their general direction is deep into the once densely built-up monastic territory. This direction is consistent with the location of some dry wells, as if they, these wells, are either ventilation devices or exits from underground areas.

MOVE THE STONE IN MEZHOZERSK

The unusual stone is located in the Verkhneuralsky region, near the village of Mezhozerny.
There is an interesting stone in the Verkhneuralsky region - it turns. One of the tourists accidentally drew attention to this: “Once I was sitting on it, and when I got there about a year later, I noticed that the stone had risen. He came back six months later - the stone had changed its position even more. He stood up even more vertically. The stone is elliptical in shape, of decent size, there is no way to turn it by hand..."

There are also no legends or traditions about the stone and this place. Currently, the stone, which once lay flat on the ground, has stood almost vertically. Although, according to the law of gravity, it should, on the contrary, rather incline towards the ground. If Vladimir Shibeko, who wrote to us, could sit calmly on this cobblestone several years ago, now it is almost impossible to do so.

MOUNTAIN LESHCHYA

It is located in the Karagai forest approximately in the middle of the steppe zone of the flat Trans-Ural spaces of the Chelyabinsk region, along the sixtieth meridian, where the Ural-Tobolsk watershed passes.

Distance from Verkhneuralsk – 44 km, from Chelyabinsk – 160 km, from Magnitogorsk – 90 km.

Here, in many places, large granite-gneiss massifs are exposed, up to 350 m high, and sometimes up to 450 m above sea level and, often covered with pine forests, and in depressions with birch groves.

Almost in the very center of the forest is Mount Leshachya, its height above sea level is 514 m.

The mountain is notable for the fact that it is literally covered in various legends and myths. According to widespread legends, witches held their Sabbaths on the top of the mountain; witches came from everywhere and celebrated their rituals on the appointed day.

For example, before the revolution, on the eve of the holidays of Kolyada and Ivan Kupala, guards were specially posted around the mountain to prevent women who were going to perform pagan rituals here.

Interest was also aroused by stories from tourists that navigation equipment malfunctions at the top of the mountain.

KISILEVSKAYA CAVE

Kiselevskaya, cave, geological and geomorphological natural monument of regional significance (since 1985).
A horizontal karst cavity of a grotto type of complex shape. Founded in a massif of light gray Paleozoic limestones of the Upper Devonian - Lower Carboniferous. Located on the right bank of the Sim River, 4 km northeast of railway station city of Asha.

The entrance to the cave is located at the bottom of a corrosion-sinkhole crater measuring 7.5 × 9 m and depth 6 m, formed on the eastern slope of the Kiselevsky log at an altitude of about 70 m from the bed of the stream flowing here. A narrow entrance hole of irregular shape measuring 0.6x1.5 m is oriented to the west; immediately behind it the 1st grotto of the cave opens (Hibernating Bats). The length of the grotto is 35 m, width up to 10 m, maximum height 20 m. During the cold season, numerous ice stalactites and stalagmites (up to 50-70 cm high) form in the grotto, and the walls are covered with snow crystals.

The cave is marked by various anomalous phenomena. According to speleologists, they saw different light effects in the cave, and supposedly there were distortions in the perception of time.

ROCK STONE GATE

A bizarrely shaped rock not far from Kyshtym. It is located in the south of a small ridge, at the western end of Mount Teplaya. Distance from Chelyabinsk – 95 km, from Kyshtym – 20 km, from Karabash – 15 km. Coordinates: N 55° 38.922′ E 60° 17.021′

This miracle of nature is composed of granite gneisses, which, during the weathering process, formed a window in the rock monolith. By appearance and the structure of the gneisses, it can be assumed that the Gate has existed in this form for more than one millennium.

The stone gate is also called the Dragon Stone, Dragon Wings, Hole Stone - all this is the same rocky outcrop on Mount Tyoplaya. The origin of all these names is explained by the shape of the rock and human imagination. The name Stone Gate is considered the most ancient, and all the others are relatively modern.

Once upon a time the Stone Gate was considered sacred place, where wishes come true. Since ancient times, hunters have come here to beg for good luck and to make their weapons more accurate and deadly. Now people come here to look, to be amazed at the rock, as well as the magnificent views that open from the mountain to the surrounding area. Fans of esoteric teachings claim that the rock is still a kind of energy point - a “place of power.”

MOUNT IREMEL

although geographically it is located in Bashkiria, but in terms of its significance, it is one of the most famous natural monuments of the entire Urals. You can enter Iremel from the Chelyabinsk region. Since ancient times, peoples and tribes have distinguished Iremel from other peaks and treated it with special respect. However, everything is in order, first I will give brief geographical information: the Iremel mountain range is located in the northeast of the Uchalinsky district. Tangent to the northern and western edge At the base of the mountain there is a small section of the border with the Chelyabinsk region. Iremel is located in the zone of the highest elevations and is part of the axial ridge of the Ural-Tau. There are Big and Small Iremel, which rise on the common foundation of the massif, oriented in relation to the cardinal points from northeast to southwest with a total length of approximately 13 km. Mount Big Iremel has a height of 1582 meters (Peak “Boar”) and is the second highest point in the Southern Urals (second only to Yaman-Tau - 1640 m). The slopes and peaks of Iremel rise above the boundaries of the forest belt and represent the subalpine and alpine zone. Big and Small Iremel (height 1449 m) are separated from each other by a characteristic saddle approximately a kilometer wide.

In the ancient Bashkir folk epic you can read about how Mount Iremel arose. In it main character Ural-Batyr fights with Padishah Azraki and his army: divas (i.e. evil spirits) and dragons. Having destroyed everyone, Ural-Batyr placed their defeated bodies in heaps, which later became the Ural Mountains. The largest pile turned out to be Iremel. During the confrontation, the hero died from poisoning, and his children had to take up swords. According to legend, they cut through Iremel, and the Belaya and Ural rivers flowed out of it.

Legends are legends, but the Russian settlers who began to populate the Chelyabinsk region treated the mountain with no less respect than the local residents. And as some clergy note, before the revolution, no one was surprised that in a dry year people gathered and went in procession to ask for rain on Iremel.

There are plenty of wonderful stories and rumors today. Sports tourists, nomadic esotericists and simply curious people have recently flooded the mountain. Some jokingly, some in all seriousness, tell their stories about Iremel. Some believe that this is a “portal”, “ energy center“and come here to “recharge.” Others believe that in ancient times Iremel was used for human sacrifices by servants of dark cults and are looking for ancient temples here. Ufologists, of whom there are also quite a few, claim that somewhere here there is an underground UFO base and claim that they regularly see “flying saucers.” Sorcerers and psychics come to Iremel to collect magical plants. For example, only here does Rhodiola Iremelica, listed in the Red Book, grow. This plant, which is also called the “golden root,” is included in many alchemical recipes for immortality.

MOUNT SUGOMAK

Attraction near the city of Kyshtym. The mountain has two peaks. Height highest point Mount Sugomak 590 meters.

Not far from Kyshtym there is a low mountain with a bald rocky peak. It's called Sugomak.

The height of Mount Sugomak is close to 600 meters above sea level. On the one hand, even those who have never climbed the mountains can handle the climb; on the other hand, at least some kind of physical preparation is necessary if you want to reach the cherished peak, and not turn 180 degrees halfway to your cherished goal. The fact is that only at the beginning of the path a well-trodden, level path leads to the top. Then the initial ease and accessibility of the ascent is replaced by a sharp slope.

An interesting fact is that Mount Sugomak has not one, but three peaks. There is a saying among local residents: “The first hill, the second hill, the third is the mountain.” Each peak has its own paths. Walking along these paths, we find ourselves in the kingdom of relict mountain forest-steppe - a real botanical monument.
A wonderful panorama opens from every hillock. Kyshtym and Lake Sugomak lie in full view.

Many consider Mount Sugomak miraculous, the so-called “place of power” that heals, fills with health and energy.
There are many variations of the legend about a strong and brave warrior named Sugomak and beautiful girl Fidget. But the main plot line boils down to the fact that the lovers’ relatives are against their union; they belong to two warring families.

Despite all the prohibitions and obstacles, Sugomak and Egoza began to live together away from their tribes. But this decision only increased the hostility of their relatives towards each other. Then the young man and girl turned to the gods for help. They begged for peace and harmony. The wish came true, but at what cost! The gods turned the lovers into two mountains (Sugomak and Egozu), standing side by side.
And the tears that they shed from unhappy love formed beautiful lake Sugomak.

They say that Bashkirs still believe in the magical power of the lake and try to come here with their infant children to dip them in the waters of the lake. Perhaps they dream that their sons will become as strong as Sugomak, and their daughters as beautiful as Egoza.

ROCK DAMMIT TOOTH

Large stone outcrop. Not far from Kyshtym, on a small hill, on the left side of the old Egusty-Ushaty road, there is a rocky ridge that crowns. Distance from Chelyabinsk – 100 km, from Kyshtym – 25 km, from Yekaterinburg – 135 km. Coordinates: N 55° 39.037′ E 60° 11.699′

The devil's tooth is a vertical 25-meter rock. The entire stone ridge is also called the Devil's Settlement. These names are given to the rocks for their bizarre shape. There are legends about many of them.

The height of the steep cliffs reaches 20 meters, and the total length of the stone ridge is about 100 meters.

This place is quite far from large cities, so it is rarely visited, only Kyshtym tourists and climbers occasionally conduct their training and competitions here.
There is a legend that in ancient times, sacrificial rituals were performed here, but no excavations were carried out at the rocks. They say that the clock, compass and other instruments in this place refuse to work or show incorrectly.

Anomalous zones Northern Urals According to surveys of indigenous residents of the Krasnovishersky district, gradual warming is observed in this region - a decrease in snow cover in winter, shallowing of rivers, and a decrease in the period of winter frosts. This has become especially noticeable over recent years.

The main Ural ranges represent a complex energy structure, rich outlets of various energies, they are interconnected into a single energy chain.

In the Subpolar Urals, a Russian geological exploration expedition in the early 90s discovered mysterious tungsten springs of unknown origin. They were looking for gold, sifted through the sand and found it. At first it was assumed that these were nothing more than fragments of rocket technology or an aircraft.

But it turned out that the probability of this is zero. Even if a rocket or satellite had fallen in this off-road location, there would still have been some debris. In addition, such parts were not used in Soviet rocket or aircraft construction. And radiocarbon analysis produced a sensational result. The finds are several hundred thousand years old. They contradict not only the fictional history of Russia, but also our entire civilization. After all, according to Darwin’s “scientific” theory, humanity appeared much later.

Tungsten springs were found in bottom sediments at a depth of 5-10 meters. Interestingly, the ends of the springs are melted. And the melting point of tungsten is 3000 degrees. Archaeologists cannot answer the question: how could such high-tech parts end up in the prehistoric period? Who made them and why? Various fantastic versions are put forward. For example, that these are parts of alien spaceships that flew to Earth in ancient times. In general, when it is impossible to explain some fact that does not fit into the paradigm of history, then the most correct version is to write off all aliens. Believe it or not, you won't check it. What if we assume that there were ancient civilizations on our Earth? And these civilizations were much more developed than us.

It is not surprising that the springs were found in the Urals. After all, the Ural Mountains are rich in non-ferrous metal ores and minerals. But the most incredible discovery was made when the springs were increased many times over. Microscopic inscriptions on the spirals were discovered. After epigraphic analysis, it turned out that these letters were made in OLD RUSSIAN language.

The words “ROTOR”, “FROM Rus' YAR”, “HAND OF YAR”, “TEMPLE OF YAR”, etc. are written there. Tungsten springs are apparently parts of some mechanism. "ROTOR" is actually a Russian word. This is some kind of rotating part. “FROM RUSI YAR” means that it was made in Rus' YAR and transported, exported somewhere to another region. "HAND OF YAR" is the hand of God.

This is the nanotechnology of the ancient Proto-Russians 100 thousand years ago. It is known that in pre-Christian times, churches were not only a place for prayer. Each religious building was dedicated to a separate deity who was responsible for this or that activity according to the principle of modern ministries. Our ancestors' temple of Yara oversaw technology, finances, and all innovations. The inscriptions could be something like a company mark or a label like “Made in Russia.”

It turns out that in the North of the Urals traces of a proto-Russian civilization with nanotechnology and space technology were found. Official science will never admit this. 74% of Russians are sure that the history of Russia began in the 11th century AD with the baptism of Rus.

PS The Ural boys scrawled all these TEMPLES-MARA-YARS God knows where, or rather everywhere in the world. For example, on Egyptian pyramids. So the pyramids that were built in different parts The lands in places of power were ancient Slavic Vedic temples.

Disappearing Cave

It has existed since pagan times in the Urals, near the town of Lesnoy, but has actively manifested itself only since the middle of the last decade. Appears only at certain times and is invisible the rest of the day. Very aggressively greets the rare guests who dare to visit her - complete loss of orientation, psychological pressure. They say that on the mountain in which the cave is located, there is an old temple where there were human sacrifices.

Ekaterinburg.

In our city there are many places with dark fame. This is Voznesenskaya Gorka with its dungeons, and the abandoned city hospital in Green Grove with temporary fluctuations and the “cursed house” on Karl Marx 4 near the embankment and many others. So far, all these places are in a “sleeping state,” but it’s scary to even imagine what could happen there upon awakening, and what kind of poltergeist force will spill out in the very center of the city. The ufological commissions that traveled to these places have not yet drawn conclusions about why such a rapid awakening began in their last years, but against the backdrop of increasingly frequent natural disasters, they are alarming.

Mountain of the Dead

In the north of the Urals, where the border of Komi and Sverdlovsk region, unexplained tragedies happen quite often. On the slopes of peak “1079” or Mount Kholat-Syakhyl, people have repeatedly died under very mysterious circumstances. According to legend, in time immemorial, 9 Mansi were killed on this mountain. This is how rescuers found the tent of Dyatlov’s group.

Dyatlov Pass

The Northern Urals have their own anomalous zone of Russia - a tract where in the winter of 1959, under strange and unclear circumstances, a whole group of tourist skiers, led by an experienced leader Igor Dyatlov, died. Only a month later the bodies of nine people were discovered. As the investigation showed, all the tourists left the equipped camp in a great hurry, leaving almost all their belongings in it. Until now, it has not been possible to establish the reason that forced the group to leave the camp so quickly. The circumstances of the tourists’ deaths also remained unknown; it was only possible to establish that their death was violent. Since then, there have been persistent rumors that this pass is cursed.

Damn cemetery

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where the Kova River flows into the Angara, the so-called Devil’s Cemetery is located - another anomalous zone in Russia. There is a legend that this zone was formed after the fall of the Tunguska meteorite. According to local residents, this area has a deadly effect on all living things. Domestic and taiga animals and even people die here. However, this place was visited by dozens of expeditions, and indeed several of their participants died due to their carelessness. However, local residents believe that the real reason This is not their downfall.

Death Valley

In the east of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the area active volcano Kikhpinych is an anomalous zone of Russia called Death Valley. She's pretty small. According to local residents, this small flat area is deadly. Massive deaths of animals have occurred here several times. In addition, staying in this area for a long time can also result in death. According to scientists, this place periodically releases volcanic gases into the atmosphere, which contain highly toxic cyanide compounds, as well as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide.

Samara Luka

Samarskaya Luka is considered one of the most active anomalous zones in Russia. According to ufologists, over the past ten years more than 1,000 paranormal phenomena have been observed in this place. According to local residents, so-called “cat’s paws” are often seen here - several glowing lights that seem to float in the air. Also in this place, “cat ears” have been seen more than once - rays of light that appear from nowhere. In addition, Bigfoot was repeatedly seen in Samarskaya Luka.

I wonder why the editorial staff of the TV-3 channel has not yet moved to the Southern Urals in its entirety and opened a head office here? Somewhere near Arkaim, to make reports, grabbing topics from the thick air, full of secrets and mysticism.

The idea, by the way, is not without meaning, because it matches the format of the TV channel, Chelyabinsk region contains a whole darkness of mysteries, secrets and anomalous zones. I propose to talk about the latter in more detail.

Read about how the secret developments of Soviet scientists caused the appearance of the “Kasli Anomaly”, what kind of shamans with antennas are depicted on the “Stone Tents”, and why Lake Shaitanka is considered unclean in the new “Good News” rating.

On last place Mount Big Iremel.

Let's start with the fact that Iremel has his own misterious story. Take the name, for example. It has been known since time immemorial, when the Turks who inhabited these lands (the ancestors of modern Bashkirs) called the mountain “a place that gives a person strength,” that is, “Iremel” in their language. By the way, the name of the nearby village of Tyulyuk translates as “desire”.

The presence of these two toponyms already suggests certain thoughts. For example, there is a legend that if you climb a mountain and make a wish, it will certainly come true. Rumor has it that in ancient times, priests of pagan cults performed human sacrifices on the top of Iremel. Perhaps that is why the place enjoys a gloomy reputation. All sorts of rumors are associated with him. From frequent UFO sightings to the mysterious “White-Eyed Chud” people, whose representatives supposedly live in those parts.

Lake Itkul takes ninth place.

But this is not the fact that Lake Itkul is notorious. And the fact that in the middle of its water surface the so-called “Shaitan Stone” rises threateningly. There is a version that in ancient times, human sacrifices were made on this stone for the sake of the harvest and good weather. It is noteworthy that centuries later, people’s lives continue to end near this stone. A lot of swimmers drowned, and those who survived describe an unpleasant feeling as if some kind of energy cord was passing through them.

In eighth place " Stone tents"in Kasli district.

Any child from the village of Allaki, Kasli district, with the intonation of an experienced guide, will tell you that it was here that once there was a Finno-Ugric village. About 7,000 years ago, they painted strange men with antennas on their heads on the “tents” with red ocher. But come on, little men, because, most likely, the “antennas” were elements of a traditional shaman’s headdress.

But not far from the “stone tents” archaeologists discovered a bird-shaped idol, a spear and a jug with blood stains. This brings to mind the harsh rituals that the ancient Finno-Ugrians performed next to their “stone tents.” These places have a bad reputation among residents of the surrounding villages, but young daredevils often don’t mind “working” as tour guides.

Seventh place is occupied by the Arakul Shikhans.

And besides the dolmens, the legends about a certain Grandma Shikhanka, who lives in the Arakul Shikhany, set the teeth on edge. Rumor has it that an evil spirit, taking the form of a frail old woman, roams the mountains and brings disaster to tourists. Meeting her does not bode well. They say that those who saw Babka Shikhanka only have time to tell about their meeting, and then they inevitably die. Of course, under the most mysterious circumstances.

In sixth place mountain range Nurgush.

According to reports from tourists and hunters, as well as employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, UFOs can be periodically observed in the sky above the mountain, and in the surrounding forests one can meet Bigfoot, the encounters with which Satkinsky local historian V.P. Cherentsov spoke about on the pages of his book. It was in the vicinity of Nurgush that a cryptozoologist from Chelyabinsk, Nikolay Avdeev, was lucky enough to take a photo Bigfoot, but like all materials on this topic, the picture turned out to be blurry and poorly informative.

The fifth place is occupied by Ignatievskaya Cave.

The famous cave is located near the village of Serpievka, in the Katav-Ivanovsky district. Having a corridor character and almost half a kilometer in length, it consists of four sections - the Entrance Grotto, the Main Corridor, the Great and the Far Hall. They named it in honor of the old cell attendant Ignatius, who lived and died in the cave. According to legend, the spirit of Elder Ignatius comes out of the cave at night and looks at the Moon.

There is an opinion among tourists that you can hear someone’s footsteps and unintelligible voices in the cave at night. And besides, next to any of the departments of such a stone corridor, people’s batteries run out every now and then, flashlight lamps burn out, camera flashes refuse to work, and those who enter feel someone’s invisible presence. Many people say that it is very difficult to get high-quality photographs in one of the halls - a “white transparent veil” appears on them.

In fourth place is the “Kasli anomaly”.

The third is Lake Shaitanka.

A lake with the ominous name Shaitanka is located not far from Asha. It is remarkable, as usual, for its hair-raising legends. So, according to one of them, the reservoir is considered bottomless (officially they say about a depth of 200 meters), according to another, a certain “monster” lives in its depths, and the third attributes frequent appearances of UFOs to the lake. In fact, it is difficult to say whether the place is “anomalous” or whether these are just myths. For example, sometimes underground waters begin to rise sharply and splash out, as if over the edge of Shaitanka, flooding the area with a peat mass that emits an unbearable stench. At the same time, the water in the lake seems to boil. All these phenomena were previously associated with the machinations of evil spirits, which is why they gave the lake the appropriate name. And now local residents, already quite savvy in matters of esotericism and extrasensory perception, say that there is bad energy there.

In second place is Taganay National Park.

There are a variety of legends and myths about this park. Some say that in some places the usual passage of time disappears, others claim that they personally met with the “Kialim Grandma”. For example, one winter in Dalny Taganay, even the director of the weather station saw her near the bottom well. Seeing the director, the “grandmother” rushed headlong into the depths of the taiga. She was barefoot and lightly dressed, although the frost was fierce. And besides this mysterious pensioner, UFOs, “Bigfoot” and other extraordinary phenomena are regularly seen on Taganay. However, no one has yet been able to record the “miracles” for certain.

In first place, as you may have guessed, is Arkaim.

If you listen to home-grown mediums, then the ancient settlement of the Bronze Age is one continuous anomalous zone! Entire armies of psychics annually besiege Arakim in search of “power.” And what they just don’t see there. Mysterious lights, according to the notorious magicians and “healers,” no longer surprise anyone, being, as it were, part of the landscape. In fact, most of these wonderful phenomena are the figment of the imagination of those people who come to Arkaim to “recharge” with energy.

On the other hand, some cases of strange electromagnetic oscillations were recorded by special instruments. Perhaps this fact is somehow connected with the numerous stories of “contactees” and “eyewitnesses of the unknown.”

The Ural Mountains stretch from the coast of the Northern Arctic Ocean to the Kazakh steppes. Its length exceeds 2.5 thousand kilometers. Width at different areas ranges from 100 to 400 km. Due to this extent, the mountain range is divided into several parts, each of which is characterized by its own natural zones.

Table: parts of the Ural Mountains and their natural areas

Let's take a closer look at each part and natural zone of the Urals.

Polar Ural

This is the part of the mountains closest to Arctic Circle. Accordingly, the natural zones here are tundra and forest-tundra. The relief of this area was formed due to frost and winds, resulting in the formation of a stone embankment. Mountain peaks This area is flat. The climate of the Polar Urals is humid and cold. Summer is short and rainy, average temperature+14 degrees Celsius. Winter is long and quite cold, the average temperature in January is -20 degrees. The polar Urals are characterized by large amounts of precipitation.

Rice. 1. Polar part of the Ural Mountains

Vegetation is found only at the foot of the mountains and is represented by mosses, lichens and shrubs. On the eastern slopes there are dwarf larches. Here the climate is more favorable and there is less snow.

Larches grow better on the tops of ridges than at their feet - there is better water supply and higher temperatures.

Northern Urals

This site is located on the 59th meridian. Here the eastern and western ridges are distinguished. Their height is approximately 700 meters above sea level. Mountain peaks have a rounded shape. The mountains are different big amount terraces The climate is slightly warmer than in the previous area. The natural zone of the Northern Urals is mainly taiga, characterized by a large number of swamps.

TOP 4 articleswho are reading along with this

The forest here almost completely covers the mountain slopes. It is represented by spruce trees, with occasional fir patches. Cedar grows on rocky slopes. Blueberry trees are located in the swamp area. Among the animals there are wolverines, deer, sables, and owls.

Rice. 2. Pechoro-Ilychsky Reserve

Middle Urals

It is characterized by smooth mountain peaks, the highest height of which reaches 800 meters. The mountains are quite badly destroyed and do not serve as a watershed. At an altitude of 410 meters there passes Railway, connecting Perm and Yekaterinburg. There are many in the Middle Urals large rivers. The natural zone here is forest-steppe, the climate is temperate.

The mountain peaks are completely covered with forests. Closer to the north it is a coniferous forest; in the southwestern region mixed forest predominates. There are birch forests throughout the entire territory. Animals include wolves, foxes, badgers, and ferrets.

Southern Urals

In this area there are the most high peaks– up to 1600 meters. The mountain peaks are flat and there are rocky terraces. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cold winters. Sometimes frosts reach such a degree that rivers freeze almost to the bottom.

The natural zone of the Southern Urals is forest-steppe. In some places there are areas of pine forest, mainly the slopes and foothills are represented by black soil steppe. Among the animals, various rodents predominate.
