Amazing and extraordinary sights of Khakassia

The Republic of Khakassia, whose sights are famous all over Russia, has always attracted tourists. What is interesting here you can see?

"Chests" - the most beautiful mountain range

"Chests" - this is a real miracle of nature. The array, consisting of several mountain-remnants, reaching a height of about 200 meters, attracts everyone's attention. The first "chest" is of the greatest interest. It is crowned with several remains. One looks like a chest, and the other is a fortress wall. Scientists have put forward a lot of assumptions about the appointment of this place. They believe that it could be an ancient observatory, a platform for flying saucers, and a cult place. Here you can see the rock carvings, there is also a site with amazing acoustics (even if you say something in a whisper, it will be spread over dozens of meters), it is impossible not to notice the stone structures, which some archaeologists believe were used by our ancestors to observe Behind the moon, the sun and the stars. This historical and natural monument is located in the Shirinsky and Ordzhonikidzevsky districts. Some even believe that all the sights of Khakassia fade in front of the Chests.

Salbyksky mound

It is a unique monument related to the Tagar culture. Here is buried one of the most famous Dinlin rulers together with his entire family. The mound is surrounded by a fence consisting of stone blocks, giant slabs are in an upright position. Their weight is 20-60 tons. But this place is notable not only Salbykskiy mound. Also nearby are other majestic tombs of the rulers of ancient states, located on the territory of the Middle Yenisei. To see these historical monuments with your own eyes, you should go to the Kamyzyak steppe. The distance from Abakan to the barrows is only 60 kilometers. Similar attractions of Khakassia are of interest to many residents of our country.

Tus is a wonderful natural reservoir

The name of this lake in the language of Khakass means salt. It is located 30 kilometers from the village of Shira, it is surrounded by a hilly steppe. The lake can be called unusual because of its highly mineralized water, the concentration of which is about the same as that of the Dead Sea, located in Israel. Also Tus is famous for its curative mud. Specialists claim that the curative elements of this lake positively affect the human body, strengthening, in particular, the immune system. The best place to go is to see the local attractions - Shira. Khakassia can be proud of this village with its wonderful lake.

Lake Khankul

This natural pond is located near the railway station called "Khankul". The distance from Abakan to the lake is 60 kilometers. Khankul has an oblong shape, its length is about 700 meters. Of course, this is not very much. And the greatest depth is about 4 meters. Khankul is located at the foot of a low mountain range, around it for many kilometers stretches the steppe with a huge number of hills. Its eastern part is plowed, and the fields are almost flush with the shore of the lake.

To preserve the healing properties of Khankul, he was included in the list of specially protected Khakass natural areas. Near the lake, mineral water is mined, which is sold under the same name. Some want not only to see the sights of Khakassia, but also to try local products. The best option is to buy this healing water, because it is very useful for the body.

The Magnificent Bele

This lake is the largest mineral reservoir, located in the Minusinsk Basin. Moreover, nowhere in Eastern Siberia is there anything like this. Bele is located near the lake Shira and the village of Pearl. The lake is located in the intermontane depression of the Djirim steppe, famous for its hills and lack of any vegetation. However, the nature protection zone is notable for the fact that behind the mountains pine and fir grow, protected by them from the winds raging in the steppe. People come to nature to take a break from the city's bustle, but there are no trees where they stop. Around the steppe with small hills. Tourists not only bathe in salty blue Bela, but still play sports games, build bonfires, fireworks and dance nights all the time. There are so many beautiful natural reservoirs on the territory of the republic that you can involuntarily think about the fact that the real sights of Khakassia are lakes.

Menhirs

During the journey through the expanses of Khakassia, you can notice a large number of menhirs. These are stone figures used by our ancestors to perform cult rituals and sacrifices. It was also believed that they are able to heal from all sorts of diseases. Sights of Khakassia, of course, worthy of attention. Once visiting this wonderful land, it is impossible to forget it.
