The Kyshtym urban district in Chelyabinsk Oblast offers destinations at Lake Sugomak and Mount Jegosa. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, check its location in relation to your chosen natural attraction: the urban district, lake, cave and ski complex are not all at the same address.
Sugomak and the nature trail
- The forest lake Sugomak, at the foot of Mount Sugomak, is a hydrological natural monument of regional significance.
- The approximately 900-metre-long ecological nature trail «Сугомакская пещера» starts at the turn-off from the «Кыштым – Слюдорудник» road, follows a forest path and ends at the entrance to Sugomak Cave.
- A large clearing and the «Марьины слёзы» spring are located near Sugomak Cave.
Mount Jegosa and the rocks
- Mount Егоза, 607 metres high, rises north of Sugomak.
- The «Егоза» ski complex is located on Mount Егоза.
- Mount Егоза and Mount Sugomak are two similar-looking peaks on the same mountain range; both are clearly visible from Kyshtym.
- Каменные ворота, also called «чёртовы ворота» and «скала дракон», is a strangely shaped rock outcrop with an oval opening through it. It lies in the Kyshtym urban district between Слюдорудник and Большие Егусты, at the southern end of a small ridge in the western part of the Тёплая mountain range, 20 kilometres from Kyshtym.
Choose suitable accommodation
The approximately 900-metre-long nature trail starts at the turn-off from the Kyshtym–Slyudorudnik road and ends at the cave entrance; the sources therefore do not establish that the cave is open at all times. The Kamennye Vorota rock is about 20 kilometres from Kyshtym and is not a short walk from the city centre. For the ski complex on Mount Jegosa, check current operating status, weather, access and equipment requirements. Only then compare the actual address and conditions of accommodation; the information about the area does not confirm availability or prices.
For regional context: Chelyabinsk Oblast.
