Rest with a teenager in Bashkiria on the water. Beautiful places of bashkortostan

Article text updated: 05/29/2018

Everyone who has been reading my blog for quite a long time has noticed that I am ready to return to interesting places many times. So, if we talk about traveling to distant lands, then my wife and I have already rested three times in Thailand and twice in China. If we talk about weekend trips in the Urals, then countless times we organized tours to the Talkov Stone Lake in the Bazhovskie Mesto nature park, to the Staraya Lens quarry in Shabry and to the Deer Streams nature reserve. In the Chelyabinsk region, we several times went hiking for long weekends with an overnight stay in tents on the territory of the Taganay and Zyuratkul national parks. And two years ago I happened to go by car on a business trip to the city of Beloretsk, the capital of mountainous Bashkortostan. And since then, the question “where to relax in the summer for the long June holidays” has not arisen - only in the mountains of Bashkiria! ..

A year ago, I published a report on how we settled in tents on the territory of the Malinovka recreation center on the Otnurok farm. On the first day, we walked to the stone river, where the magnificent Soviet film “Eternal Call” was filmed, the next morning we went rafting along the Belaya River, and on the third day we went on horseback to the top of Mount Yalangas. We did not have time to climb one more thousandth place - Raspberry Mountain, towering over Beloretsk, and at the foot of which there is a camp site. We promised ourselves that we would definitely return to Bashkiria to complete our plans.

Where to relax in Bashkiria in the summer

A year passed, summer came, we began to think about where to go by car for the weekend. Many tourists like to relax somewhere at a recreation center near a reservoir or a forest lake, to improve their health in a sanatorium. By the way, I have heard only one sanatorium: Yangantau. But such a vacation is too calm for Katya and me, who traveled 3200 kilometers in Mexico by car, 1200 km in Sri Lanka, 3500 km in Thailand and half of China by electric trains. I want to get away from the bustle of the city, from the crowds of people, to immerse myself in nature. And for these purposes, mountains, hiking in forests and meadows are ideal. Here is a list of interesting places in Bashkiria where you can go to relax for the weekend:

• Mount Iremel is the second highest peak in the Southern Urals (1589 meters above sea level). The rise is possible from several settlements. The most popular starting point of the route is the village of Tyulyuk, where several camp sites are located. You can get to the top and go down in one day if you go light, but it will be difficult. It is better to plan one night in the mountains.
• Inzer gears is an impressive rock complex lost in the Bashkir taiga. It is very difficult to get there (usually from the village of Tirlyan). And it is better to go in autumn, when the forests in the mountains of Bashkiria water the surroundings with gold.
• Muradymovskoe Gorge is a picturesque natural park. It is located very far from Yekaterinburg. I think it is more correct to go here if there is an opportunity to relax in Bashkiria for a couple of weeks. Then you can arrange a tour by car to several natural attractions of the republic.
• Reserve "Shulgan-Tash" with the karst cave of the same name, the length of which is more than 3 kilometers.

When discussing options for a weekend getaway, the Taganay National Park in the Chelyabinsk region also had great chances (the beginning of the routes is in the city of Zlatoust). I have not yet published a report on weekend trips along the Taganay mountain range. Perhaps because the photos were taken on a soap dish. Now, it was possible to re-shoot the sights on a full-frame Nikon D610 SLR camera with high-quality lenses.

In the end, the “tender” was won by “rest in Bashkiria” at the Malinovka camp site, since there are practically no tourists here in the mountains, the wildest wilderness in the forest and at the base there is an opportunity to go hiking on horses, from which we Katya is delighted.

How to get to the tourist center "Malinovka" in Bashkiria

Last year we went to Bashkiria right after work, from my office. The distance from Yekaterinburg to Beloretsk is almost 500 kilometers, and our weekend tour by car went along the route: Chelyabinsk tract - Kasli - Kyshtym - Karabash - Miass - Uchaly - recreation center "Malinovka".

So that the journey would be a rest, and not a torment with moving at night, it was decided to spend the night on the way in a roadside hotel or in a tent beyond Miass, if we did not find options for a civilized overnight stay. It rained all evening, we could not find inexpensive hotels at that time, we turned onto a country road and got stuck “belly-deep” in the mud. Half the night we climbed onto a hard surface, we put up a tent by the side of the road ...

Therefore, when planning a summer vacation in Bashkiria in June 2015, we decided to act “like real hikers”: find an apartment for rent in Miass and spend the night in this city. We chose housing on Avito in advance, phoned the agent, agreed on how and when we would move in.

For 800 rubles we spent the night in a simple but clean two-room "Khrushchev" with two double beds. I recommend! Agents want to take your passport or 2000 rubles as a deposit. We never give documents to strangers, we chose a pledge. We agreed with the maid that by 8:45 she would come to us to take the keys. They took a receipt from her.

In general, it seems to me that the option of spending the night in Miass is great for many options for a weekend tour by car to the Chelyabinsk region or Bashkiria.

Here you can stop if we go to:

• The city of Zlatoust, where the official entrance to the Taganay National Park is located.
• We plan to conquer Mount Iremel or climb the Inzer gears.
• We want to go on a hike to the Zyuratkul and Nurgush ridges.
• We are going to see the Shulgan-Tash cave or the Muradymovskoe gorge.
• We are going to ride horses in the Malinovka camp site, conquer the Raspberry and Yalangas mountains.
• We are going to rest in a sanatorium to the South in our car.

Katya and I wanted to arrive at the base a little later than noon, so that in the afternoon there would be time to climb to the top of Mount Malinovaya. But the day turned out to be sunny, the sky is blue, the birds are chirping, the meadows are in flowers. In the vicinity of the village of Komsomolsk, Uchalinsky district, I saw a pointer to the village of Voznesenka, I remembered that I saw in one of the reports on my vacation in Bashkiria photographs of an old dilapidated church against the backdrop of the surrounding mountain ranges. The views there are just amazing! Remind postcards from Armenia or Georgia.

Turned off. Asphalt ended and moved to the grader. They turned the wrong way and left for the Bashkir village of Starobairamgulovo, nestled on the northern shore of Lake Aushkul. As if some invisible hand is leading me to this village. Two years ago, during the first business trip to Beloretsk, my partner and I also turned wrong and arrived at the shore of this beautiful lake (see the link to the photo report at the end of the article). Mount Aushtau rises above it.

The scenery here is very, very impressive! High hills, which for some reason are not overgrown with trees, mountain ranges in the distance. Herds of horses and sheep on the slopes chew juicy grass. Village idyll.

Finally, we found the village of Voznesenka. If in the Bashkir settlements one usually feels the master's hand, order and relative prosperity, then in the Russian village - as everywhere ...

On the outskirts of the village there is a high hill, overgrown with crooked larches. A breathtaking view of the old houses, the church, which has already begun to be restored, and the surrounding mountains opens up from above.

Eh, sorry! I can’t convey with my photograph the smell of pine needles, flowers on the slopes, the joy that the white inflorescences of strawberry clearings give, the trills of cheerful birds.

We liked the trip to the village of Voznesenka (Kinyakyi) incredibly. Such a small adventure on the way to Beloretsk. It’s just a pity that I was embarrassed to stop and ask permission to take a portrait of my grandmother and yellow fluffy ducklings, which she grazed, sitting on a bench near the front garden ...

5. We are going to rest in Bashkortostan. Oh, cows ... Dust and fog ... (640, 24, 9.0, 1/640, Hoya HD Circular-PL polarizer, Nikon D610 DSLR)

The planned schedule of traveling by car to rest in Bashkiria began to be violated, because I wanted to stop the car at every turn, at every village in order to capture such beauty.

See the mound in the background? No matter how! To show the scale of mountain systems, you need to use a telephoto lens, not wide.

Down by the river is a herd of grazing horses. Now you can imagine how high this hulk is. I think you need to climb no less than 700-800 meters above sea level. It would be nice to come and have a rest in Bashkiria sometime in the fall, when the whole district will burn with gold!

We stopped in one of the villages for lunch. We ate delicious shurpa, samsa and other Bashkir dishes for a ridiculous 340 rubles for two. We got to Beloretsk at 15:00.

9. Raspberry Mountain towers over the city of Beloretsk in Bashkiria, like Koryaksky volcano over Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky ... (Nikkor 70-300 telephoto lens, Nikon D610, 320, 140, 9.0, 1/640 camera)

During a vacation trip to Bashkiria last summer, we entered into the navigator the GPS coordinates of the Malinovka camp site indicated on their official website (54 03 05.7 ″N; 58 19 28.0 ″ E, go-ural.com). But the aunt from the infernal car took us somewhere uphill on a dirt road, circled around a small, in general, city for about an hour. Therefore, now they acted differently: they entered “Malinovaya Street, Beloretsk, Bashkiria” into the navigator. If you drive along it almost to the end, you will see the sign "Robin" and "Otnurok" to the left. We go down to the river on a terrible quality dirt road and there - another 11 kilometers of a grader in the direction of the sign "Otnurok - to the right." Having overcome these kilometers along a dusty road along the Nura River, we get to the recreation center "Malinovka".

Reviews about the rest at the Malinovka camp site

Probably, it was not worth stopping at this point. Since we decided to relax in Bashkiria and again came to the Malinovka recreation center, it is clear that we liked everything very much. But I wanted to especially note that Katya and I were kindly struck by the good nature with which we were met by the staff of the camp site. We had to travel a lot around the world: if you open the “Independent Travel” section, you will see that we drove Mexico, Sri Lanka and Thailand, on public transport twice China and wandered around the islands of the Philippines. I travel a lot on business trips in Russia and spend the night in upscale hotels, but nowhere in our country have I seen such sincerity. When you communicate with the administrator, with the maid, with the groom or with teenagers helping the elders manage the household, there is an inexpressible feeling that you are welcome here from the heart! And not as a tourist who came to spend his savings, but as a brother who returned home after a long absence.

Even in a report on a vacation in Bashkiria last year, I wrote that we settled in a tent, but ordered dinner and breakfasts, dined on a hike to Mount Yalangas on horseback and while rafting on catamarans along the Belaya River: the cost of the most delicious potatoes in the world and chickens baked in foil, plus a vegetable salad and tea with forest herbs were included in the price of the tour.

At the base, you can rent a bike and go to the stone river (kurum), where the favorite Soviet film "Eternal Call" was filmed. The road to it lies between the rocks hanging over the Nura River. There is no one around. Creepy. You need to overcome three destroyed wooden bridges on the way to the kurumnik. One of the tourists said that during a bike trip to the stone river she met a fox on the road (last year, while on vacation in Bashkiria, we also saw Patrikeevna twice).

On the territory of the tourist center "Malinovka" there are several baths. We did not pay for a visit, as it is allowed to wash after the bathhouse is freed after the rest.

In the mornings and evenings, all tourists gather in a common dining room, where they share their impressions of the past day and give advice. The food is delicious! Apparently, they cook dishes in a Russian oven. And, when was the last time you tried real, not powdered extract, milk? Mmm, only because of him, and hot pies with potatoes and onions, you can return to rest in Malinovka again!

My wife and I are completely satisfied with the weekend spent at the camp site. But other vacationers made the following claims:

• I didn’t like that the rooms in the houses are too simple, rustic, one towel for two (for me, living in a rural hut is an incomparable plus).
• I don’t remember the name of the house where the kitchen and dining room are located, but the visitors who lived upstairs complained that the smell of food was too strong and the cooks started strumming plates early in the morning. Be careful when making a reservation for accommodation at the Malinovka camp site! Specify where you are going to be accommodated before check-in.
• Although, the rules of the recreation center say that after 23:00 you can not make noise, on weekends there were companies that buzzed until late at night. Our tent stood in the far corner and we, after the hardest climbs in the mountains of Bashkortostan, fell asleep "without legs" and did not hear anything, but other tourists complained.
• An inexperienced instructor arrived for rafting on the Belaya River; there were too many tourists; the leader of the group was rude, refused to cook dinner - threw potatoes with the words: "You need it, you cook it"!

In general, of the three tourist groups with whom we had a chance to talk, everyone was not completely delighted. Last year, Radmir from Nizhnekamsk went rafting and horseback riding on a June weekend and he really enjoyed it. And in the summer of 2015, he was already grumbling a little ...

How to climb to the top of Mount Malinovaya from the village of Otnurok

The guys working at the base helped put up the tent. To make it more convenient, a special area has been set aside for the tent camp, on which a wooden platform has been installed. Now the bed turns out to be even, like a tabletop, and if it rains, you won’t wake up in a puddle in the morning.

We asked the workers how much time you need to plan for climbing Raspberry Mountain - about 4-6 hours, depending on your physical fitness. It’s better to take an instructor, but we refused: if we didn’t get lost in independent wanderings in China, Mexico, Sri Lanka and Thailand, then in Bashkiria - and even more so!

I must say that hiking in the mountains of Bashkortostan is not an easy walk in the Sam Roi Yot National Park in Thailand, where we climbed the Khao Daeng Viepoint observation deck (see the trip report in the winter of 2015 in the section "Independent travel"). The beginning of the ascent, as I showed in photo #11 in the first part of the report last year, is in front of the house with the cranes on the roof. We go towards Raspberry along the logging road. Three hundred meters later - you need to ford the Nura River, barefoot, on sharp stones.

10. The photo was taken already on the way back, when we were returning from the Raspberry Mountain and again we had to ford the Nura River. In the background is the peak where we took pictures two hours ago. Reviews of tourists about the rest in Bashkiria. (2500, 60, 5.0, 1/200, Nikkor 24-70 lens, Nikon D610 SLR)

Then - a swampy clearing, rising up to the lower edge of the forest. Here the road forks: to the right - goes around the edge and - to the left, into the thicket. We turn left, there are periodically marks: red and yellow ribbons on the trees.

After some time, the road on which cars drive ends and turns into a well-trodden path. Almost all the way to the top of Raspberry Mountain you go with a slight rise, to the left, making a huge arc along the mountainside (this is my feeling, maybe if you watch the track, the shape will turn out differently).

I think it's hard to get lost - there are ribbons everywhere, all the way to the top. But the places there are deaf - the wildest taiga. Last year, I noted: you look at Malinovaya from the side of the entrance to Beloretsk and you cannot imagine that only 10 kilometers from the city (and even less in a straight line) is such a bearish corner. Ancient larches. Grass to the waist. Hundreds of voices of forest birds. Wilderness - for all 3 hours of climbing to the top, we met only one group of tourists: five adults and a girl of 10 years old with them.

The fact that there are few people on the path in the forest, the mountains of Bashkiria compare favorably with, for example, the Taganay National Park in the Chelyabinsk Region, where there are equally beautiful landscapes, but tourists, cordons, and tent camps constantly come across. And a paved path leads to the Zyuratkul ridge, almost to the top - you can’t even feel that you have left the city, as you are walking along Nevsky Prospekt. On the other hand, if something happens, you will wait a long time for help.

Approximately, in the middle of the way - a spring. Here you can relax (for example, bite a piece of smoked sausage and a boiled egg, without bread, because it was forgotten) and get fresh water. Do not calm down - to the top - still oh, how far!

The gray spots that we see on Malinovaya, looking at it from below, are fields of kurumniks. Huge boulders open up to your gaze from under the canopy of the forest.

A little more and you are at the foot of the rocky ridge. Its height is about 30 meters, I think. The trail continues to climb up to the right, clinging to the rocks. If in the previous three hours you did not see anything because of the forest, now you can admire the surroundings.

Finally, we reached a crevice, from where you can climb to the top. Climbing giant rocks... Ah!!!

15. If I'm not mistaken, this is Mount Yalangas. Reviews of a weekend trip to Bashkiria by car (reporting zoom Nikkor 24-70 / 2.8, polarizing filter Hoya HD Circular-PL, it is wound on this lens everywhere, Nikon D610 full frame, shooting parameters: 160, 48, 8.0, 1/ 80)

Photos are difficult to convey the delight, feelings. Here is a video taken on the top of the Raspberry Mountain in Bashkiria.

And some more pictures from above.

You probably noticed that the amazing dynamic range of the Nikon D610 full-frame sensor is still not enough: the sky turns out to be faded or even knocked out. I was dragging a Sirui T-2204X carbon tripod with me to Raspberry Mountain, I thought that I would be able to shoot the sunset. But the sun was still high, they didn't want to go back in the dark. But, the tripod came in handy for taking photos in the form of HDR. It's a pity that I took off only one HDR.

So it's better, don't you think?

The entire trip to the top of Mount Raspberry took 5.5 hours: 3 - ascent, half an hour - for oohs and aahs, 2 - for the descent back to the Malinovka camp site. In the evening we enthusiastically talked about our tour to other vacationers. And a day later, a couple from Tatarstan conquered the summit and descended back in 4 hours. So, a lot depends on your physical fitness.

At the beginning of the report, I listed beautiful places in Bashkiria where you can also go to relax. One of them is the rocks Inzerskie gears. Watch the amazing, incredible video that the guys working as guides and organizing the drop-off filmed from a quadcopter. Be sure to watch with sound!

Blue lake near Ufa

Distances from major cities:

Ufa - 40 km, Chelyabinsk - 440 km, Yekaterinburg - 550 km, Perm - 577 km, Tyumen - 875 km, Kurgan - 700 km

GPS coordinates:

Worth stopping by on the way or in your spare time

Not far from the Bashkir capital - the city of Ufa - there is an amazingly beautiful lake-spring. The Bashkirs call it Zyangar Kul - Blue Lake.

The blue lake is small (about 400 square meters), similar in shape to a saucer, but very picturesque.

The name of the lake was due to the bluish color of the water. In this color, the water is painted not only due to the refraction of light rays in the water, but also due to the fact that the bottom of the lake is composed of blue clay. By the way, blue clay is known for its healing properties. It contains many trace elements necessary for the human body. Nutrients are also dissolved in the water of the Blue Lake. So here you can not only relax, but also heal a little.

As in all springs, the water in the lake is always very cold (+ 5 degrees), however, there are daredevils who swim in it. By the way, you can swim here in winter, because the water here never freezes.

In addition, the water here is very transparent, the entire bottom of the source lake is perfectly visible. At the bottom of the lake there are several funnels, the maximum depth of which reaches 5.5 meters.

There are several strong springs in the lake, the water flow reaches 300 cubic meters per second. As divers diving into the Blue Lake testify, four keys can be traced at the bottom. Moreover, if you clear the stones near the strongest of them, then a passage to the karst cavity may open.

A wide stream flows out of the lake, after 100 meters it flows into the nearby river Uzen.

Small but beautiful limestone cliffs rise near the lake. They offer a beautiful view of the spring lake and the Uzen River. From the top of the cliff you can take very beautiful pictures.

There are small caves in the rocks near the Blue Lake.

Proximity to Ufa leads in the summer to an abundance of vacationers in this place. Unscrupulous autotourists often leave garbage behind, which leads to littering of the territory. Please take care of the environment, do not litter in such unique places. After all, it is not without reason that this lake has the status of a hydrological natural monument of republican significance.

Blue Lake is very reminiscent of such well-known Bashkir springs as Krasny Klyuch and Sarva. As part of this weekend itinerary, you can visit the nearby Karlaman Cave.

How to get to Blue Lake?

This landmark of Bashkiria is located near the village of Novomusino, 40 kilometers south of Ufa.

By car from Ufa, you need to go along the highway to Sterlitamak, then turn right to Novomusino, drive through the village, then continue for about a kilometer to the lake.

Can be easily reached by public transport. A suburban bus runs from Ufa to the village of Novomusino. From Novomusino on foot along the road to the west a little more than 1.5 kilometers.

Summer is gradually coming into its own, and trips outside the city, around the republic are becoming more and more relevant - there, far from civilization, the rest is the most complete.

Yes, it is necessary to prepare for such a vacation more carefully - this is not a trip or - but there are much more impressions from it. For example, such as cooking on a fire - few people will remain indifferent to food with a taste of real wood smoke. Fortunately, our manufacturers have already taken care of simplifying the cooking process as much as possible - for example, Buzdyaksky produces ready-made soups in glass jars - just mix it with water and boil it in a camping cauldron, without bothering with cutting vegetables and mixing them in the right consistency - everything is already done for you. On a hike, this is really very convenient - it was checked by our editors with our own hands; and it's really delicious too.

Do not forget, of course, ; no special equipment is required for traveling to the places we have selected. At the same time, they are really incredibly beautiful - we vouch, we saw it ourselves; in this review, we specifically chose the most beautiful corners of the republic.

We tested MegaFon in these places - there is a high-quality connection. This operator has coverage in 98% of the populated territory of the republic, and 4G mobile Internet works where more than 60% of the inhabitants of Bashkiria live. This is really important during long journeys outside of Ufa.

So let's start with Inzera- perhaps the main tourist river of the republic. We decided to stop at two favorite places of parking on this stormy Bashkir river - 71st kilometer and 95th (the last one is the so-called "Pink Rocks").

71st kilometer(this is the name of the train station) - the place is very beautiful, but we must keep in mind that when going from the station to the destination, you will have to ford the river (it is easy to find the way to it - there is a path, besides, there are always experienced people ready to tell you the way tourists). In the deepest part of this ford, the water does not even reach the waist for a grown man; however, the current is strong, and the bottom consists of stones lying on top of each other - you should still cross as carefully as possible.

Immediately after the ford, parking lots begin - you can choose any free one to your taste. On many of them, previous tourists carefully left a fire pit and horns with a crossbar for cooking; often there you can find salt and sugar in packages (tourist tradition; they are most often forgotten by inexperienced travel lovers).

It is worth saying that those who like to relax far from the city are distinguished by their careful attitude to nature - most often such parking lots are clean and there is no garbage.

It is quite possible to swim in Inzer - here it is quite shallow, and the current is quite powerful, but hardly anyone can resist the temptation to swim in clear river water on a hot day.

It will take about 3.5 hours to travel by train from Ufa to the 71st kilometer station.

The next stop on Inzer is 95th kilometer. It is there that the so-called "Pink Rocks" are located.
It's much more crowded here than on 71st; however, it is not necessary to ford the river, and the river itself is deeper and slower - swimming is much more pleasant. But it should be borne in mind that there are no clearly limited parking limits for one company, as on the 71st - because of the crowd, everything is mixed up.

Of course, all vacationers here should go to pink rocks- if you walk a little along the railway tracks, you can see a path going up steeply. Climbing it is physically quite difficult, especially for unprepared people; however, at least everyone will be able to get to the first site. From above, a beautiful view opens up, but you should not lose your head and come too close to the edge - the stones hang almost over the abyss; it is better to take pictures at a safe distance from the cliff. In total, there are three sites at different levels - the most stubborn and enduring will be able to climb to the third, to a dizzying height.

To go to the 95th by train is about half an hour longer than to the 71st. You can also get there by SUV (by the way, there is no such possibility on the 71st), but we would recommend leaving the cars in the city - on such trips it is better to have a minimum of mechanisms at hand.

The next most beautiful place in Bashkiria is Atysh waterfall. The four-meter waterfall is located on the banks of the Lemeza River, adjacent to Inzer. To get there, you need to get to the same 71st kilometer, cross the forested mountain, ford the Lemeza (it is smaller and narrower than Inzer) and walk a little along it.

The pass through the mountain, again, is physically difficult - but it's worth it. In addition, along the way you will meet several springs with unusually tasty water.

Everyone who has seen this four-meter waterfall notes the special bluish color of the water. It flows from an underground source and is therefore particularly cold and pure.

There are caves near the waterfall - you can climb into some of them - but always in a group, not far away and without going into any branches, so as not to get lost (it is quite dangerous without specialists and equipment).

In our review, we could not help but include such a landmark of Bashkiria as shikhans- the famous mountains near Sterlitamak, Salavat and Ishimbay.

It is very easy to get to them from Ufa by car - it takes about an hour and a half to go. Climbing is much easier than the mountains we wrote about above. But their value is not in this, and not even in the form that opens from the top (let's be honest, there are places in Bashkiria that are much more beautiful and, moreover, not so obviously spoiled by industrialization). The whole thing is in the spirit of antiquity. That is - the feeling of this antiquity, a gigantic number of years that you literally physically feel when you touch these blocks.

This is the only point in our review where overnight stay is not provided - however, some lovers of a difficult holiday set up parking lots right on the peaks. Given that there is no vegetation on them, wood for fires is obviously taken with them - well, no one can forbid people to create additional difficulties for themselves and successfully overcome them.

Another stop on our journey Burzyansky district, one of the most beautiful regions of the republic, where the world-famous cave is located Shulgan-Tash. Here we visited several tourist camps with covered tables, fire pits and toilets. The first parking lot, "Three Brothers", is located in the village of Davletovo (7 kilometers from Starosubkhangulovo), the second - "Robber" - above the village of Mindigulovo. The third is in Kiekbaevo, and the fourth is 2 kilometers from the Shulgan-Tash nature reserve. Rest with primary comfort will cost tourists from 60 to 100 rubles.

Here you can also raft down the Belaya River. The only disadvantage of rest in the reserved region of Bashkiria is the road. The scenic spots can only be reached by car. Although there are local travel agencies in the area that can organize transportation, lunch, overnight stay, river rafting and an excursion to Shulgan-Tash.

The next place is located outside of Bashkiria (although very close to it), but it is certainly worth talking about. This Minyar(Chelyabinsk region).

You can get there either by car (135 kilometers) or by train. We chose the second option - a one-way trip cost 860 rubles per passenger in a reserved seat (total 1,720 rubles round trip). The one way trip took 2 hours. It is worth saying that you won’t be bored on the way - there are such views outside the windows that it will be difficult to tear yourself away from them.

Unlike the above places, holidays in Minyar can be combined with viewing man-made sights. This is a unique in its kind "Hanging Bridge" across the Sim opposite the railway station; Minyar pond - an artificial structure at the confluence of the Sim and Minyar rivers (there is a park on the shore with beautiful mountain views); Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary right behind the dam (the church was built from 1795 to 1819 by order of the daughter of the Simbirsk merchant Ivan Myasnikov - Irina Beketova); Nikolsky railway bridge across the Sim River; Nikolskaya Cave, in one of the grottoes of which there is a one and a half meter stalagmite (on the way to Nikolskaya Cave there is Nikolsky spring with the purest water with silver ions).
In general, due to the fact that Sim winds around the city, there are many bridges in Minyar, each of which offers stunning views of the river, mountains, and old buildings, which adds a touch of antiquity to the landscape.

And in conclusion of our review - no less beautiful village Krasnousolsky. You can get here by car or bus, the village is located 136 kilometers from Ufa on the banks of the Usolka River. Krasnousolsky is known for its balneo-mud resort and mineral water.

There is also something to visit here to feel the spirit of history - on the territory of the Mother of God-Tabynsky convent, which is located on the opposite side of the river from the sanatorium, there is the Church of the Tabynsk Icon of the Mother of God on the hill.

Well, you can complete your trip to Krasnousolsky with a visit to ostrich farm with the telling name "Magnificent Ostrich". This is, in fact, a petting zoo located in the village of Inzelga, Gafury district, 126 kilometers from Ufa.

Black African ostriches, Australian emus, pheasants, guinea fowls, Indian blue and white peacocks, turkeys, Spanish minorka, camels, badgers and many other animals live here. They can be fed, stroked and photographed. The farm has a cafe where you can order a barbecue, including ostrich meat, as well as buy farm products.

In winter, this beautiful place attracts many tourists to its ski resorts, and the most beautiful photos will not let you forget about such an interesting trip.

Mount Iremel

One of the most beautiful and picturesque among the Ural Mountains, and it is located on the border between the Chelyabinsk region and Bashkiria. Iremel is divided into 2 parts - a large mountain range and a small one. The slopes of the mountain are strewn with huge boulders-kurums, and there are also stone pits on it, in which clean water suitable for drinking accumulates after rains.

The peaks of Iremel are covered with snow even in summer. The mountain impresses with its picturesque vegetation, tall coniferous trees grow in its lower part, above you can see a belt with light forests, then there is a tundra with dwarf plants.

According to legend, since ancient times, Iremel was considered a holy place and ordinary people were not allowed to enter here. Basically, these beautiful places were visited by people with supernatural abilities (esotericists, psychics, shamans) to charge their karma.

Aigir rocks ("Teeth of Shurale")

The teeth of Shurale - this is how the local population calls the northern slope of the Karatash ridge, decorated with majestic rocks. Tourists are closer to another name - the Aigir rocks, after the name of the nearby railway station Aigir.

The rocky ridges of the mountains majestically hang over the valley of the Small Inzer. Most of the rocks have their own names, for example, the Lion's Head, which is very similar to the profile of the animal.

From the rocky teeth, amazingly beautiful views of the surroundings open up. In the north, the slopes of the Small Yamantau ridge are visible, to the right of it is Big Yamantau, you can also see the Blue Rocks.

Inzerskie Zubchatki

One of the most beautiful places in the Southern Urals is rightfully recognized as the Inzerskie Zubchatki. This is a hard-to-reach range between the Tirlyan and Bolshoy Inzer rivers in the Beloretsky district of Bashkiria. The ridge got its name from the Inzer River and the rocks that proudly rise above it like teeth. The cogwheels surround some of the most majestic mountains of the southern part of the Urals: Kumardak, Yamatau, Yalangas.

There are 3 parts of the ridge, but the most beautiful and most visited is the Rock Circus. Rocks of unusual shapes in the form of teeth are spread in this place in a circle, their height reaches 33-35 meters. To the north of the Rocky Circus there is a rock Observation deck. It offers an unforgettable view to the west and the Zubchatok ridge.

Askin Ice Cave

A beautiful monument of nature, interesting for its unusual ice formations, located in the Arkhangelsk region of Bashkortostan. The entrance to the cave is located 2 kilometers from the village of Solontsy, on the eastern slope of the Uralta ridge at an altitude of 70 meters above the level of the Askyn River.

The cave is a karst bag-like cavity, which consists of a magnificent hall more than 60 wide, up to 105 long and about 26 meters high. The floor of the grotto is covered with a glacier; thanks to the climatic features of the cave, it does not melt even in the hot summer period.

Askinsky grotto is famous for its large ice stalagmites 8-12 meters high with a base diameter of up to 5 meters. The form of ice miracles is also unusual: some pillars rise almost to the ceiling. The acoustics inside the cave are also amazing, amplifying any sound. You can visit this amazing place only during the cold period, in summer the entrance is closed to prevent melting.

Belaya River

It is a high-water tributary of the Kama River, its length reaches 1430 kilometers. The Belaya River begins at the foot of the Avalyak Ridge and flows throughout the territory of Bashkiria.

Belaya is not only a beautiful landmark of the republic, but also its important waterway, as it is part of the Moscow-Ufa water transport route, along which exciting tourist rafting trips are arranged. The banks of the river are covered with forests and steppe; willows, poplars, and wild rose bushes are often found here.

Pike, roach, perch, catfish, chub, sterlet, silver bream, zander, sabrefish, minnows, trout and other fish live in the river. The Belaya coast is very picturesque, and the water surprises with its transparency.

Waterfall Gadelsha

One of the largest and bewitching waterfalls of the republic. The waterfall Gadelsha, also known as Ibragimovsky, is located on one of the tributaries of the Khudolaz River on the eastern side of the Irendyk ridge. It consists of 3 cascades, the total height of which is about 15 meters.

Gadelsha has been a complex natural monument of Bashkiria since 1965 and is protected by the state. This is due to the fact that more than 270 plant species grow there, most of which are listed in the Red Book of Bashkortostan.

Waterfall Atysh

The name of the waterfall is translated as "shot". It really seems to be shooting from the grotto of the Kuz-yaz-tash cave, breaking through it. The waterfall is unique in that it flows out of the rock and falls from a sheer height (about 4 meters above the level of the Lemeza River), there are no others like it in the Urals.

A small lake has formed under the waterfall, and an underground river also comes out to it. Near this beautiful place there are many caves, one of which is Zapovednaya, previously there was a sanctuary for the ancestors of local residents.

Kuperlya waterfall

On the territory of the national park "Bashkiria" near the Nugush reservoir, popular among tourists, there is a picturesque Kuperlya waterfall. It was formed on the tributary of the Nugush River - the Kuperlya Stream.

The stream flows down from the mountains in a fast stream, and over several hundred meters the height difference is at least 100 meters. Thanks to this, stunningly beautiful waterfalls were formed, falling from the rocks. In the spring, when a very turbulent stream flows, the water falls from 2 rocky ledges about 10 meters high each. In the summer, the stream becomes shallow, in some places it disappears underground in ponoras.

An amazing Karst Bridge hangs over the waterfall - a large arch about 20 meters high and 30-35 meters long. The length of the hanging part is 10 meters. Many years ago, the Kuperlya River flowed underground here in the rocks. Over time, the rock was destroyed and as a result, only this Karst Bridge remained from the underground cavity along which the stream ran.

Lake Karagaikul

Located in the Uchalinsky district of Bashkortostan. Lake Vorozheich (Karagaykul) is very interesting for its legends and stories, geology and unique beauty. According to legend, in ancient times, magical rites were performed on its banks, hence the magical name Vorozheich appeared.

The lake is home to crucian carp, tench, roach, bleak, pike, perch. The nature here is very beautiful: water lilies, reeds, hornworts and egg-pods grow near the shores; surrounded by small hills, which are overgrown with birch trees.

This amazing and beautiful place attracts not only nature lovers, but also geologists and lovers of stones. Jasper, a valuable ornamental stone, comes to the surface near Karagaikul.

Spring Lake Sarva

In the Nurimanovskiy district of Bashkiria, near the village of the same name Sarva, there is a lake-spring of extraordinary beauty. It has a small area - only about 30 meters wide and 60 meters long, but its depth is more than 50 meters.

The Sarva spring is a hydrological monument of nature. The water in it is so clear that you can see how the bank of the spring breaks off and falls deep down, as if you are standing on the edge of a bottomless cliff.

The taiga comes close to the lake, endowing tourists with generous strawberry glades, mysterious forest nooks and crannies, and unexpected meetings with the inhabitants of the thickets - wild boars, foxes, hares.

Source Red Key

The most powerful source in Russia and the second largest in the world. The red key is the exit to the surface of the underground river Yaman-Elga. A strong stream beats from two large connecting karst funnels: the depth of one is 38 meters, the second - 20 meters.

The spring water is saturated with a large amount of minerals and trace elements, and a lot of lime is also dissolved in it. Scientists have calculated that in 1 second the source throws out about 1 kilogram of limestone with water.

In the 19th century, a mill worked in this place, then a paper mill and a small power plant. Their generators were driven by the energy of the source water. The factory was closed in the mid 1970s. Now in its place there is a plant for bottling drinking water "Krasny Klyuch". Despite the content of carbonates, the water is drinkable, pleasant to the taste and clean.

Shulgan Tash Nature Reserve

Located in the southern part of the Urals, its area occupies more than 22 hectares. The main reason for the founding of Shulgan Tash was the honey-bearing Burzyan airborne bee; about 140 bee families live in the reserve.

The reserve has become home to 206 species of birds, 30 species of fish, as well as amphibians, reptiles and mammals. 67 species of Shulgan Tasha animals are listed in the Red Book of Bashkortostan, 31 species - in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.

Reservoirs and mountain forests are the most important components of an amazing natural complex.

The real pearls of this most beautiful place in Bashkortostan are the "Bear's Glade" (a botanical monument created to protect the ancient plant - the oblique onion), the Kuperlya Bridge (a narrow strip 35 meters long and 16 meters high, which remained above the cave after its collapse), the Kutuk tract ( a network of karst caves with many stalactites of an unusual and intricate shape).
