Where to go and what to see by car in Bashkiria

If you want to drive a car through the beautiful natural places of Bashkiria, you will have to make a personal route - there are really a lot of them. But the journey should be pleasant, interesting and harmonious, so it is worth visiting certain places.

Turgoyak

This is the famous lake, which is famous for its clear water and stunning views around - rocks, forests, grasses, small caves and "wild" trails. It is quiet and peaceful here at any time of the year, in the heat you can take advantage of the coolness of the water and swim, relax in the shade of the trees. In the spring, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the shore, and therefore it is worth stocking up on specific means for a trip, otherwise the rest will be spoiled by annoying insects.

Turgoyak is distinguished by the purest water, its chemical composition is comparable to the same indicators of Lake Baikal. The water level varies greatly and in good weather, when the weather is hot for a long time, you can see 10-12 islands on the lake.

You can come here for one day, but you should make a longer stop, rent a room or a house in the village of the same name, use the services of recreation centers and enjoy the natural beauties "in full".

Lake Turgoyak is officially recognized as a natural monument, it is included in the list of the most valuable natural fresh water reservoirs in the whole world.

Sibai quarry

A very original place, which belongs to man-made attractions. This quarry is the deepest in the world - more than 500 m, diameter 2 km. The depth of the Sibai quarry is such that even standing on the very edge of the upper terrace one cannot see the bottom. Moreover, if you go down several levels, you still won’t be able to see the bottom of the quarry.

In general, a visit to the Sibai quarry is a rather extreme event - officially they don’t lead excursions to it and to it, they won’t let you through the checkpoint either. You will have to make your own way through the thickets and look for good places for photography in an urban, industrial style.

The quarry is visited literally “in one day”, 2-3 hours are enough to explore the surrounding beauties. A strange feeling of incompatibility of greenery and distant mountains with earthen ruins, the result of human activity, visits every tourist - at least that's how those who have already been there describe their impressions.

It is located near the village of Gumerovo in the Ishimbai region of Bashkortostan. The village itself is very neat, pleasant, and has a well-developed infrastructure for such a remote place. But experienced travelers recommend driving into the gorge not through the village, but around it - you find yourself in "wild" places where there are no people, there is always silence and tranquility.

Gumerovskoye Gorge - these are hills interspersed with plains. On some you can find strawberry glades (in summer), but in the forests there are a lot of mushrooms (in autumn). A stunning panorama opens up here, amazingly beautiful photographs are obtained. The gorge is an ideal place for an overnight stay. Moreover, you can sit in a car or use tents.

Sound sleep, complete relaxation and a feeling of rest for several days are guaranteed even after a two-day stay in this place.

Pugachevsky stone

The rock in the Beloretsk region, which is considered a historical and geological monument of nature, has two names - Pugachevsky or Arsky stone. It is located near the Belaya River, on its right bank. The height of the rock is 30 meters, it is distinguished by bizarre shapes and they were created not by human hands, but by nature itself - by rains and winds.

The Pugachev stone has always been shrouded in legends. The first said that Emelyan Pugachev hid his treasures inside this rock - gold and precious stones. This story attracted the attention of numerous lovers of wealth - they constantly tried to get inside through the cave, but everything was to no avail.

As a result, the Soviet authorities blew up the entrance to the cave - now in this place there is only a pile of stones at the foot of the cliff, overgrown with moss and grass. The second legend is that from this stone a private household manager was thrown into the waters of the river, who refused to obey the rebel Pugachev. According to legend, after his death, the waters of Belaya departed from the Arsky stone.

Whatever stories surround the rock, this is a very interesting place both in its location and natural beauty. A photo session here will be simply incredibly original, bright and original.

The listed places are what you can visit in four by car, if you do not stop for multi-day overnight stays. The total distance from Yekaterinburg to the indicated points and return to the city is 2050 km.

Where can I organize a vacation with tents in the summer

A picnic, a weekend trip - all this can hardly be called a good rest. And here a real trip to the most beautiful places of Bashkiria with tents will be a pleasant shock for some, for someone a return to a carefree youth, and someone, perhaps, will inspire further travels as "savages". Before you go on such a vacation in the field, you need to decide on the location of the camp - there are several of them in the Republic of Bashkiria.

Inzer

This is the most "tourist" river of the republic, on the banks of which there are two main camps for campers. The first is called "71st kilometer", the same name is given to the station where the train from Ufa stops. It will be possible to reach the base from the station only through the river, crossing it into a ford.

It is easy to find a specific crossing point, and there is always one of the experienced travelers nearby who will be happy to give hints. It should be noted that the river in this place barely reaches the waist in depth with an average height, but its current is quite strong here, and the bottom is strewn with stones - in general, precautions must be taken during the transition.

The 71st kilometer is a clear glade where you can always find a place for a tent. There is no fee for staying here, which attracts lovers of nature and water. It is often possible to find in a clearing a folded place for a fire, and "spears" in the ground for the convenience of cooking, and even small reserves of sugar / salt - almost all beginner travelers forget them.

The second parking lot - the 95th kilometer, is almost identical to the previous one. The only difference is that there are no clearly defined areas for setting up a tent: everything is mixed up, there is some kind of disorder.

You can swim in the Inzer River, but it has a strong current, so you need to be careful during water procedures. From any parking lot, you can and should get to the Pink Rocks - a stunning view is guaranteed. You will have to climb up and if there is no appropriate physical preparation, then it is difficult to do this. However, absolutely everyone will be able to reach the first observation deck - the rock hangs like a visor over the cliff, offering a wonderful view.

Atysh

This is a four-meter waterfall, the water of which flows from a natural spring inside the rock and is impeccably clean - if you look at it from the side, it seems blue. You can get to Atish from the parking lot of the 71st kilometer, but you will have to ford two rivers and climb / descend from a low mountain.

Near the waterfall there are tourist camps where you can camp with tents. And around there are several caves that you can get into on your own, but with the observance of simple rules - do not go far from the entrance (it must remain in sight), do not go into any branches. In general, excursions to these caves are organized by experienced guides - it is safe and interesting.

Burzyansky district

There are 4 campsites for campers:

• "Three Brothers" - the village of Davletovo;
• "Razbonichya" - near the village of Mindigulovo;
• in the settlement of Kiekbaevo;
• near the Shulga-Tash nature reserve (2 km).

In these places, tourists are located with minimal comfort - in the parking lots there are showers, dry closets, and even the opportunity to use the simplest kitchen utensils. The cost of such a holiday will be in the range of 60 - 100 rubles per day from a tent.

The only inconvenience is that you can only get to the camps by car, but there are travel companies that organize the delivery of guests to their destination. The same service is provided by the local residents of the villages.

Krasnousolsky

This is a famous resort village 135 km from Ufa, which stands on the banks of the Usolka River.. If you are planning a vacation with a tent, then you should drive 2-5 km away from the settlement and choose a parking spot near the river - you don’t need to pay for it.

Natural beauties, monuments to famous cultural figures and the founders of the republic, wonderful recreation centers with comfort and impeccable service, organized parking for lovers of hiking and spending the night in tents - all this makes the rest full and rich.

Part one.

No doubt, our Bashkiria is beautiful. To see all its beauty and sights, it will take a lot of time. And if you don’t know which direction to look for, and where to go, then a whole life will not be enough. But those who have little information should not be upset - that is why there is a branch of the Russian Geographical Society in Bashkiria, in order to popularize, among other things, all our interesting things.

In Bashkiria, I repeat, there is a lot of things, and at the same time there is the very best thing that you must see. So, here's a little guide.

The Nara Ridge is one of the most powerful ranges in the Southern Urals. The Maly Inzer and Maly Katav rivers originate from its slopes. Its slopes are covered with impenetrable mountain taiga. Gray tongues of stone rivers of kurums crash into its green sea.
In the central part of the Nara ridge there is the Kashkatura massif, consisting of three peaks, resembling the head of an animal from the side, with horns and a light mark on the forehead. Kashka is translated from Bashkir - a light mark on the forehead of an animal.
Near Kashkatura there is a huge mountain meadow called Dvoriki, and behind it is the famous Rock City. In this place, from a low coniferous forest, bizarre rocks rise in a vast area, in which you can see: the ruins of fortresses, watchtowers, human figures. Between them, nature in a whimsical order laid "streets" and "lanes".
The rock city, like the entire Nara ridge, is located in the Yuzhnouralsk State Nature Reserve.

4. Askyn ice cave.

The Askyn ice cave is located on the border of the Arkhangelsk and Gafuria regions of Bashkiria and is the largest bag-shaped cave in the Urals.

The entrance to the cave is located on the left side of the Maly Askyn stream, 2 km east of the Solontsy village.

Inside the cave is a huge hall, 100 by 60 meters and 34 meters high. The floor of the cave is covered with multi-year ice, from which ice sculptures, stalagmites and stalagnate columns “grow”.

In terms of ice reserves, the cave is in many ways superior to the famous Kungur.

The formation and preservation of icing in the cave is due to several factors: cold air flows into the cave, like into a stone bag, and stagnates there. Water seeps through the cracked vault and freezes. The ice in the Askyn cave does not melt all year round.

In addition, a fantastic echo "lives" here. Any word, even spoken very quietly, is immediately divided into hundreds of voices.

Askynskaya Cave is a natural monument of federal significance and a popular tourist attraction.

5. Ridge Inzerskie teeth.

The Inzerskiye Zubchatki ridge is located in the north of the Beloretsk region of Bashkiria, not far from the village of Tirlyansky. Moreover, when examining the map, it becomes clear that the ridge has nothing to do with the Inzer River, since the river begins quite far from it. Such a toponymic incident!

The Inzerskie Zubchatki ridge is small, only 10 km long. However, this is the case when the spool is small, but expensive. Throughout its length, the Zubchatki are a heap of rocks and cliffs. If you look closely, you can see in them a resemblance to human figures or animals. There are also high peaks, real teeth, like the teeth of a fantastic ancient fish. Apparently for this similarity, the ridge got its name.

Inzerskiye Zubchatki are very popular with climbers, because the rocks allow you to test your skills like nowhere else.

Not far behind climbers and tourists. The "folk" trail to Zubchatki is not overgrown all year round.

Mountain, or rather a whole mountain range, Iremel is located in the north-east of the Uchalinsky district of Bashkiria, on its border with the Chelyabinsk region. The main peak of the massif, Mount Big Iremel, has a height of 1582 meters above sea level. This is the second highest peak in the Southern Urals.

Due to its height, Iremel is the embodiment of all the diversity of the South Ural nature. Several natural zones are represented on its slopes, from the mixed forest belt to the Arctic desert at the top. Climbing Iremel is like traveling from south to north, only everything happens much faster.

Iremel was, and still is, a sacred peak among the Bashkirs. Many legends are associated with Iremel. In ancient times, it was allowed to climb here only, and ordinary people were ordered to go to the top.

Today Iremel is one of the most popular tourist sites in Bashkiria. To regulate the anthropogenic load on fragile mountain ecosystems, the Iremel Natural Park was created here in 2010.

The Republic of Bashkortostan is located on the border between Europe and Asia. The landscape of the mountain-steppe Bashkiria. The nature of the region impresses with its virgin beauty and diversity of the animal world. It is so beautiful that tourists from all over the country come here to admire the blue lakes, mountain rivers, taiga forests, visit the caves of the Urals, improve their health in sanatoriums, take a walk in national parks and reserves, such as the national park "Bashkiria", the reserve Shulgan-Tash, South Ural Reserve and others.

5 winter hits of Bashkiria

Bashkortostan is often called "Russian Switzerland".
Lakes, mountains, alpine meadows - everything is available. However, in terms of tourism infrastructure, Bashkiria still lags behind its European rival. And if in summer it is not so noticeable, then in winter there is nowhere without "amenities" - the local climate is cooler than the Swiss one.

There are more than enough natural treasures in Bashkiria. So, we present 5 ideas for a winter holiday in Bashkiria. With all conviniences.

1. Abzakovo. Our response to Courchevel

There are many ski resorts on the territory of the republic, there are even three international level complexes in Ufa itself. But the most famous is in Abzakovo, on the border with the Chelyabinsk region. Abzakovo has existed in the status of a ski resort since 1962, but only since the beginning of the 2000s, strings of tourists have been drawn here.

Causes? Excellent infrastructure. 15 tracks with a total length of 18 kilometers, with a height difference of 320 meters. Different levels of difficulty. Rental points. Modern lifts. Numerous hotels and guest houses. Cafes and restaurants with a delicious and varied menu. Winter in Abzakovo begins not when meteorologists say, but exactly in mid-November: the resort has an artificial snow system. The ski season lasts until May.

New Abzakovo - snowpark. It was opened at the end of the winter season 2011, and in 2012 it will work normally. The administration of the resort has allocated a whole track with a length of 1200 meters for freestyle. There are a lot of experienced and beginner riders in Abzakovo, they are already used to international competitions here. By the way, competitions and sports festivals are another "trick" of Abzakovo: almost at any time from November to May, something spectacular takes place here.

Extreme sports in Abzakovo have never led to accidents. The instructors here are young but experienced. Friendly but unyielding. The tracks are designed wisely, people do not interfere with each other. And the whole resort has a very healthy and friendly atmosphere.

The possibilities of Abzakovo in terms of resort diversity do not end there. There is a cross-country ski track, a skating rink, biathlon shooting ranges are equipped. Too much snow? Then a direct road to the Aquarium, the Abzakovsky water park. A pool of 300 square meters, underwater geysers, a jacuzzi, there is also a "splash pool" for the smallest - a pool only 29 centimeters deep.

In addition to the water park, Abzakovo has its own zoo. Bears, wolves, foxes, deer live comfortably on three hectares. There are rare animals - Amur tigers and Far Eastern leopards. In Swiss resorts, you definitely will not see these.

In 2011, Abzakovo was recognized as the best resort for families and children by the Union of the Ski Industry.

At the peak of the season, it is better to book places in tourist centers or in the buildings of the Abzakovo ski complex in advance. .

2. Lake Bannoe. Both skiing and fishing

Lake Bannoe (aka Yakty-Kul) is located just 25 km from Abzakovo. And here, too, there is a ski resort - SLC "Metallurg-Magnitogorsk". Seven tracks, from children's to slalom. The length of the longest is 2450 meters, the height difference is almost half a kilometer.

Skiing from the mountains includes ATV rides, horseback riding, hunting and fishing. Especially fishing. Lake Bannoye is the deepest in the territory of Bashkiria, the fish in it feel great and could live in peace, if not for the fishermen ... Fishing on Bannoye is famous far beyond the borders of the republic. The main trophies are whitefish and freshwater stickleback. The bite is excellent, but the competition is great. Every winter day, the lake is covered with hillocks of fishermen's tents. "Fisherman's Day" on Bannom begins at 4 am, a good bite until about 10 o'clock.

Hotels, camp sites and guest houses on Bannom offer a lot of opportunities for corporate recreation, this is a kind of "specialization" of the resort. Entertainment appropriate: to strengthen the corporate spirit. For example, paintball in a newly equipped amusement park.

You can stop both at the ski resort itself and at the numerous camp sites located on the shore.

3. Big Iremel. mountain walks

To climb to the top of Mount Bolshoy Iremel, special climbing skills are not required. We need patience and a good “breathing”: 14 km uphill and the same back over rough terrain.

Firstly, in winter it is possible to drop by snowmobile. The traveler only has to walk a couple of kilometers. Snowmobiles make several trips a day, so even if a tourist who has overestimated his strength descends from the kurumnik without strength, he can be comfortably delivered to the base. Secondly, hikers can follow the tracks of a snowmobile and never lose their way, while in summer such cases, alas, are not uncommon. In addition, in winter, the stones of kurumniks (stone rivers) at the top are motionless, and in summer they often stagger under the feet of tourists, for which they are called "living stones".

In the foothills of Iremel, you can see with the naked eye how one climatic zone replaces another. Here was the taiga, and after a hundred meters - already the tundra. In 2010, Iremel received the status of a natural park, but law-abiding tourists will have no problems.

The need for a special status arose after people began to ride ATVs almost to the very top. And the places here are unique, many animals and plants are listed in the Red Book. At first, we thought that "chasing motorists" would be our main task. But our field of activity has greatly expanded. We carry out actions to clean the park from garbage, organized the duty of the rescue team. So far, however, we have no way to keep track of how many people go uphill and how many people go down a day: there is no telephone connection in the foothills. Therefore, so that in winter no one stays at night in the forest, we patrol the territory.

When a traveler who successfully descended from the mountain finds himself at a camp site (and there are many of them), a bath awaits him, and the most persistent - an Iremel cocktail (balm + vodka in equal proportions).

On a note: the season on Iremel comes with a natural winter. The camp sites are located on the side of the villages of Baisakalovo, Nikolaevka and Tyulyuk. The first two are connected by bus with the city of Uchaly, and Ufa travel agencies carry out a transfer to Tyulyuk.

4. Shulgan-Tash. Cave secrets

Shulgan-Tash, or Kapova Cave is a place of worship. In 1959, Paleolithic rock paintings were discovered here. The age of ancient frescoes, according to various estimates, ranges from 14 to 17 thousand years, that is, they are either the same age or slightly younger than the rock paintings in the famous Lascaux cave (France). But if the French prehistoric monument has long been closed to the public, then you can still get to Kapova and see mammoths, horses, humanoid creatures and mysterious signs painted with ocher and charcoal with your own eyes ...

And tourists go to Kapova in a dense stream. There was a time when visitors could get into almost any corner of the cave (almost - because the distant halls are difficult to access, the cave is partially filled with water). However, human breath, as in the Lascaux cave, turned out to be disastrous for ancient drawings. Then the administration of the reserve put up bars. From now on, inquisitive tourists can only get to two floors of the cave. And so that curiosity does not remain unsatisfied, copies of ancient frescoes are recreated on the walls of the first hall.

Kapova Cave is open all year round: the change of seasons is not felt underground. For travelers there is a shelter on the territory of the Shulgan-tash reserve itself, there are camp sites outside its territory. In winter, they all offer a standard but nice range of entertainment: snowmobiling, horseback riding, ski rental, sauna.

On a note: you can get to the Shulgan-tash reserve with an excursion, or come on your own to the regional center of Starosubkhangulovo (connected by bus to Ufa and Beloretsk).

5. Krasnousolsk. Hot Springs

"Walruses" with experience assure that swimming in the cold season is absolutely safe. But only a small part of humanity is capable of plunging into open water without hesitation in piercing frosts. A compromise and even tempting option is to swim in the winter not in an ice hole, but in a hot spring.

In Bashkiria, hydrogen sulfide sources are located near the village of Krasnousolsk. It is believed that the water in the springs is healing, and regular bathing in them restores blood circulation and relieves skin problems. Hot springs "work" all year round, but there are more visitors in winter.

The fact is that the Krasnousolsky springs are also an object of pilgrimage. According to legend, it was here that the icon of the Tabynskaya Mother of God was found. Pilgrims come to Krasnousolsk from all over Russia, but the peak of visits, of course, falls on Epiphany.

On a note: The pools are open 24/7. Near the springs there is a sanatorium where you can not only stay, but also order a program with a full treatment. Regular buses run to Krasnousolsk from Ufa and Sterlitamak.

Have a nice holiday!
