One way or another, but the author fails to leave the Urals and fly to his virtual travels in Russia and the world somewhere in the Far East, or in Argentina.
After leaving the Chelyabinsk region, he drove away from his native area at all, and found himself in the Kurgan region, and then returned and again thought over his further routes.
Here, Oksana Devi came to revenue - a Uralochka, living in Bangalore.
In this regard, the author did not fly anywhere, did not go, but advanced to the north of Chelyabinsk, and it was only 200 kilometers.

Eburg Park "Stone Tents"
One of the favorite places of the recreation of Ekaterinburg residents is a forest park area of \u200b\u200bthe Kirov district, the main attraction of which are stone tents.
Stone tents These are granite rocks of an unusual form, as if somehow folded from "stone mattresses."


Rocks are on the natural hill and from that look even more impressive, because They achieve with her, at its highest point, 25 meters in height. Climb on them, by the way, is not so easy! As a child, I knew all the ways of the lifting, but now, without spying for agile guys, I'm not climbing there.


The history of the emergence of stone tents and now causes a lot of disputes. Scientists argue that these are the remains of the mountains, and such a bizarre form created winds, water and change temperatures, although, quite recently, at the beginning of the 20th century, they believed that this is the creation of human hands. Lovers of mysticism are looking for traces of primitive giants on these boulders, or even extraterrestrial creatures. In the structure and location of these rocks, really, there are a lot of questions, they fit harmoniously in the theory of building ancient temple complexes ..

Whatever it was, but more modern history of stone tents is very busy.
Near the cliffs, literally in a kilometer, there is the ancient lake of Chartasche, (he is more than 1 million years old), next to which traces of parking of ancient people who lived there were still found to our era.

So, there are assumptions that the stone tents were their sanctuary, which supporters of this approval are confirmed in the form of "sacrificial stone", the purpose of the deepening in which it seems to them quite obvious.

There are other assumptions; In this deepening, ancient people could completely breed a regular fire and cook food on it.


But in the vague pre-revolutionary times of 1917 on stone tents, then far behind the city, the Bolsheviks were held secretly, having arranged the working meetings and magicians there. In the 60s, from the forest, lower under the cliffs, an amphitheater was built, where there were already quite legal pioneers and Komsomol fees, and in the 80th, I already remember this myself, the boulders began to be popularly at schoolchildren then.

Now this natural monument has long been located within the city. Through the road, buses and trams drive from it, stand at home-altitude, in one of which my family still lives.


Residents of the Area love to spend their weekend in the park, but also on weekdays in it are crowded. It is loved to walk young moms, schoolchildren come here for herbaries or at the lessons of physical education, the athletes arrange jogging on the still-preserved "Health Trail" from the Soviet times, cyclists attract crosses around the lake, and couples are looking for privacy on benches. The lake is also popular only in two seasons: in the summer - among lovers of a beach holiday, and in winter - among the fishermen and the "Ural walrus" swimming in the hole.

Chartask stone tents

The park "Stone Tents" is located within the city of Yekaterinburg.

Megalithic structures are three nearby stone "buildings" - granite rocks-remains. At the top of one of them there is a stone deepening in the form of a bowl.

Chartask stone tents consist of several rock outlets stretched from west to east about 80 meters. Height of rock outputs - from 5 to 18 meters. Height above sea level - 299 meters, and above the Lake Chartasche - 24 meters. Refer to the Shartasch granite array, the age of which is 300 million years old.

According to modern archaeological data, at the shores of Schartasch lake, up to 10 settlements and parking of an ancient man were located, the earliest of which belong to 3 millennia to our era and even to earlier periods. These settlements have elements of an elements of ancient culture and commodity production.

The conditional center, the sacrificial location and the "metallurgical base" of these ancient settlements served the ridge of huge granite boulders, which today is called the Chartasch stone tents.

The first archaeological studies were held on Shartasch stone tents in 1889 N.A. Ryzhnikov. Next year, the study continued S.I. Sergeev, A.F. Komes and others.

Numerous fragments of ceramics, stone implements, arms tips from stone, bones and metal, beads from crystal with traces of drilling tracks, bronze figures, iron knife, fine-thinned bones, metallurgical slag, sheets of sheet copper, etc.

Including stumbled on the finds and between the rocks. The researchers of the late XIX century it pushed on the assumption of artificial origin of stone tents.

Still back to the stone tents it was not so easy. They were located in a hard-to-reach place surrounded by forests and swamps. In those days they were called the "tract of the tent." The first detailed publication about the Sharutsky stone tents was written by Onysim Cler in 1896.

At the turn of the XIX and XX centuries over the stone tents they hung a threat. Another quarry should appear here. Granite layers of tents were very convenient for use as plates for sidewalks and foundations. From the destruction of these cliffs saved only the efforts of the Ural Society of Natural Lovers (Wola). Currently, stone tents have the status of the nature of the Nature of the Sverdlovsk region and the object of cultural heritage (thanks to the archaeological finds perfect here).

Now on the Chartasch stone tents on any day, life boils. They have long turned into a favorite place of resting citizens from Mala to Great. And it is not surprising - just a few dozen meters from the cliffs of the public transport.

Behind the stone tents, just below, the granite amphitheater is equipped - in the past, the place of pioneering fees.

There are also small stone tents located on the shore of Lake Small Chartasche.

Chartask stone tents are a unique monument of nature, which is 2 km from the center of Yekaterinburg. For a funny name, huge rocky education, which have emerged many years ago are hiding. How is such a strange name from the remains? It turns out that it comes from rare mattresident forms of the rocks that they have acquired due to weathering of granite rocks. Chartaschy they are called because of the proximity to the lake Chartasch, located just a kilometer. Chartasch cliffs are very ancient, they relate to the granite array of the same name, whose age is more than 300 million.

For example, it is difficult not to notice the rounded outlet on the stone, where, most likely, sacrifices occurred. Back in the 19th century, the researchers have found a huge number of household items, weapons, jewelry, metal processing traces and much more. Interesting finds were discovered between the rocks. It was this fact that she came across researchers to the version of the artificial origin of the breed.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the danger of destroying a unique natural monument arose - it was assumed to create a quarry here. However, the members of the Ural Society of Natural Lovers managed to defend the complex. Nowadays, Chartask stone tents have a special environmental status and are protected by the state.

After World War II, a prison and camp for German prisoners were located near the monument. In the 70s. There was a large-scale housing construction, and at home near the Chartasch tents were erected. Since that moment, this territory is part of Yekaterinburg.
