I love the Ural Mountains. Coniferous forests, impassive trails, fresh air filled with smell of fragrant herbs, resins and needles. A huge variety of flora and fauna and a chic look from height, if climbing higher. I'll tell you about the journey to the Zyuratkul National Park.
We arrived here with a friend at the end of August, the weather was hot. The path flew through the village of Magnitka (Magnitsky), then another colorful place.
On the territory of the park there are hotels, houses for living, maybe some kind of sanatoriums, but we attracted one amazing and completely inexpensive place, it was a small but very beautiful and perfectly inscribed in the terrain of a log cabin. This is a fairytale!
Little hut houses from giant logs look cool!
Inside them, only a pair of nar and wooden table: no benefits of civilization. In the center of this town there was a huge wooden house, apparently for special guests or owners ... But, unfortunately, that night, when we rested there, or rather, in the morning he burned, perhaps it was already restored. It burned as an extraordinary way: in the morning there was a strong shower, thunderstorm thunder and lightning got into this house, as he was the highest.
The town mounted on one single street stood on the shore of the mountain lake Zyuratkul.
We bathed apart, besides, they grew, but we were not lucky with fish. Behind Street extended the endless forests of Zyuratkul.
On the map of this area, there are strict instructions on actions when meeting a bear, apparently there is a chance to meet in this large animal park, which is also informed by numerous posters, describing in detail the representatives of the fauna living in the local places. In addition to huge anthills with ants and other insects did not meet anyone.
For those who love the height here is equipped with a graded track, leaving far away. I must say that this trail is 8 km up and down, and is called a health trail. We had a safely overcome it, and I would note that half of the way had to climb the mountains, along the stones (the wooden trail is broken there).
But climbing on the mountain, we saw a beautiful view of Zyuratkul, and there, at the top we were waiting for a pleasant snack of blueberries and other adorable views.
Leaning, we visited another remarkable place: this is a fish shop ... more precisely fisheries. In a channel, a river flowing here red fish - trout, everyone can purchase it, fresh and tasty.
