Mount Yurma on the border of the Southern and Middle Urals also stands on the border of Europe and Asia. The delimitation of Europe and Asia along the Ural mountain range - the Stone Belt was most likely proposed by Tatishchev, although the proposal of the Swede Stralenberg, who, being captured in the war of Peter the Great with Sweden for Russia's access to the Baltic, was attracted by Tatishchev himself as an assistant during the latter's service, is more famous in the Urals, and after the liberation, the Swede published the information received in captivity on his own behalf.
Translated from Bashkir, Yurma means - "Don't go! " Many legends tell about it. Previously, people were afraid to go there, especially alone, but with the appearance at the foot of the small town of Karabash, fears are a thing of the past, and the animals in the forests have diminished.
Now Karabash itself poses a more serious danger in terms of ecology - the places gained notoriety after a radioactive release in the late fifties of the last century, and in ancient times there were many predators here.
The top of the pink granite mountain at an altitude of 1002 meters is crowned with the Devil's Gate rocks, a climb of medium difficulty, but you need to work hard, especially in winter, making your way along the snow-covered kurumnik. But the magnificent views of the winter forest and landscapes will be a reward for a restless tourist, even if the top is covered by a cloud.
