Pechory: attractions, location of Upper Pechora, features

Each corner of Russia is a unique monument of nature. The Pechora River extends through the territory of the Komi Republic (north-east of the European part of Russia). This article will briefly describe some features of the nature of these protected areas of Pechora: sights, landscapes, etc.

The peculiar relief of this area was created thanks to the action of the last glaciation of the territories of the Ural Mountains. Most of the ridges, river valleys, slopes and small hills were formed under the influence of glacial ducts. In these places, the main part of the vast flat areas of the Priperchorya are covered with glacial coverings.

Pechory (Pskov region): relief, description

The territory of the natural reserve of the Pskov region in relief features and its geological structure is divided into 3 largest areas.

1. The Upper Plain Lowland is a zone within which the Yakshinsky site is located. This is a large flat terrain, the foundation of which is laid by Permian sediments, over overlapping glacial layers. The heights (mark abs.) Here do not exceed 175 meters. The central parts of this area are swamped.

2. The region Predgorny (on other hilly) is located on the western territory of the Ural region and extends to the very base of the Main Ural range. It is represented in the west by the transitional Artin plain and by 2 large ridges of elevations. And the Western (B. Parma) has a height above ur. The sea is about 437 meters.

3. The mountainous region is represented by 4 systems of ridges of the Northern part of the Urals. Among them are the highest: Koip (height 1087.5 meters), Bear Stone, as well as Kozhimiz (height 1195.4 meters).

The Pechora River (RF): characteristic

The Pechora River is the most abundant and large in the European North. Its source is located on the territory of the reserve. These are 2 streams that merge together between 2 mountain peaks: Pecheria-Talyakh-Chakhl and Engil-Chakhl (896.8 m high).

The whole length of the river is 1809 kilometers, and the catchment area has an area of more than 320,000 square kilometers. Km. The waters of the Pechora flow into the Pechora Bay from where they flow into the Barents Sea. Pechora is the most powerful and large river located in the North of the European part of Russia. Every year, it replenishes the sea with about 130 cubic kilometers of fresh water. And this is 2 times less than the volume of water brought by the Volga, but 1.5 times more than the annual discharge of the waters of the Dnieper and Don rivers in general. The Pechora basin houses a total of 35,000 rivers and streams and more than 61,000 lakes.

The longest river of the basin is very popular for Usa alloys. Its length is 500 km.

Pechora is usually divided into the Upper Zone, Middle and Lower. Pechora Upper stretches from the sources to the mouth of the river. Hair.

Landscapes of the territory

The natural landscapes of the valley of the Upper Pechora are peculiar. Attractions are found all along the way of its current. The river flows between the ridges of the Ural Mountains, where the mountain waters of the Upper, Middle Creek flow into it. And N. Klyuchikov, Yurginsky, Shchegohikhinsky and other rivers. After the confluence of Manskaya Volosnitsa, the river changes its direction sharply to the west. In the mountain part, the river flows into the river. Small Pill.

Then at the Bearstone (mountain), after passing a long powerful threshold, Pechora flows to the foothill area. The section of the channel from the mouth of B. Porozhnaya to the highest Parma has a width of about 150 meters and is a flat strand, mostly lined with pebbles rather large, very difficult to move in these places on boats.

Interesting and in terms of the landscape is this site of Pechora. The nature attractions here are presented in the form of small islets, in connection with which the river is divided into several branches. Below the confluence of the river B. Shezhima, relatively relatively quiet reaches with small sparse rifts are quite common. And the number of islands is further reduced, but by their size they increase.

Further, there is an extension of the riverbed and the disappearance of the shallows, and just below the mouth of B. Shaytanovka Pechora already represents steep and large bends. On the border of the reserve (western) on the banks, it is often possible to observe large exposures of limestones (especially at the mouth of the B. Shehim River).

Tributaries of the Pechora

Virtually all of its right-largest tributaries flow from the Urals (from the tops of the Ilych, Shugor, Podcherie and Usa). On the hills of the Bolshezemelskiy Range, they have the origins of Lai, Shapkin and Kolva. Northern Mylva, Pizhma, Izhma, Sula and Tsilma (left tributaries of the Pechora) originate on the Timan Ridge, and Unya in the mountains of the Ural Range of the Silver Belt. The rivers Kozhva, Ski, Lemiu and Velho flow from the Lemune Upland.

It is unique not only for its position and peculiar landscapes of Pechora. The geographic map earlier in the river basin area had markings that represented these territories as places for the production of fur and trapping birds. The largest of the upper tributaries of the river - Ilych, has a length of 393 km.

Feature of the Upper Pechora - it's interesting

What can be interesting and interesting for the romantic tourists of Pechora? Attractions of these places can be seen at the very sources of this river. The first streams of water come from a very small spring that makes its way between the rocks on a mountain called Pecher-Ya-Talyah-Sahl, which is translated from the Mansi language as "the mountain that gave birth to Pechora."

Here, the view is represented by towering rocks, overgrown with plants: yagel and moss. Also in these places you can see dwarf birches with their curved trunks and numerous talus of stones. The neighboring mountain is famous for the stone remains of Manpupuner. A little further rise the green majestic peaks of the Silver Belt.

One more interesting fact is worth mentioning: one day a helicopter landed on Mount Pecher-Ya-Talyah-Sahl from which an unusual plate made of cast iron was unloaded, and on it - information about Pechora. Such a rare honor is given to this river.

In conclusion about the Upper Pechora

In fact, the upper Pechory are mountainous. Here, the drop in the water level over one kilometer is on average about 3 meters. The vegetation of these places is mainly represented by pine trees alternating with birches, fir and spruce. The upper current, in the nature of its current, is mainly represented by rocky rapids, which are replaced by small rifts.
