Day 2 - The Zyuratkul Ridge
After a hearty breakfast, we will climb the Zyuratkul ridge, which offers excellent views of the nearest mountains of the Southern Urals and the lake of the same name. We will walk the first part of the way along a specially equipped ecological trail, and then we will face a real test in the form of a rocky path that takes tourists higher and higher.
Upon returning to the village, those who wish can test their strength and dexterity in the rope park – there are trails for both adults and children of any age.
And, of course, together we will walk along the shore of the beautiful lake Zyuratkul – the pearl of the Southern Urals.
