stone city

Devil's Settlement, Turtles
russia, Perm
Stone Town is located on the top of the Rudyansky Spoy ridge of the Ural Mountains, 200 kilometers from Perm. The area of ​​the reserve is 30 hectares. It got its name due to its similarity with the structure of an ordinary city, where there are "houses", streets, labyrinths, and even avenues. Conditionally divided into Big and Small cities. Huge stones and boulders resemble large frozen animals, and receive the appropriate names: Big and Small Turtle, Leaky Stone, Slit, Feathered Guard. Interesting to visit at any time of the year. Since 2008, Stone Town has been given the status of a specially protected landscape natural monument. Every summer, the theater festival "Secrets of Krestovaya Mountain" takes place, where actors perform right on the rocks.

The unique natural monument is located on one of the peaks of the Rudyansky Spoy ridge (526 meters above sea level) in the Perm region. The rocky massif of quartz sandstone is divided by natural streets and squares up to 12 meters wide, the rocks have a regular rectangular shape and create a complete illusion of an abandoned city. The length of the streets is up to 80 meters, they form regular rectangular intersections, you can walk along them for a long time enchanted by unusual views. The origin of this formation is unknown, it is believed that these are gullies from a river flowing here in the prehistoric era, but then it is not clear how the river flowed through the top of the mountain? The Turtle, the Feathered Guardian and other stone characters live here, which are located on top of the stone "houses".
