The highest point of the Urals is Mount Folk

The People's Hill is the highest peak of the Ural range. In general, it is no different from other mountain ranges. These are the same punches, filled with ice blocks and snow, hard-to-reach meandering slopes with powerful stone boulders and small ice mountain lakes.

On its slope there are many cup-shaped depressions, glaciers and even snowflakes. Among the grandiose and powerful hills of the Urals, Mount Narodnaya stands out. Its height reaches 1895 m, at its foot the river "Naroda" flows, due to this river the mountain got its name.

History

In 1927, the expedition team led by Aleshkov was at the foot of the river Naroda for the first time and as a result of the exploration of the area, a number of peaks were discovered by geologists, which were many times higher in height than those already known in the Urals mountain hills. In the course of scientific research, geologists succeeded in establishing the highest peak of the Urals, and it was recognized as the National Mountain.

Although before that this honorary title was worn by the Sable Mountain, 1497 m high, then this title was transferred to Mount Telpos (1617 m). A little later, the mountain of Manarage (1660 m) received the palm. Subsequently, long disputes were held about the highest elevation, even after careful research, scientists still managed to accurately measure both mountain ranges and draw conclusions. To date, the obvious superiority is occupied by the Mountain Narodnaya. Coordinates: the summit is located on the territory of the National Reserve, on the border of Europe and Asia.

Her fame, indescribable beauty and relative accessibility made the route to the Ural mountains very popular among tourists. This place became a cult place for marigolds. According to the custom, all who reached the mountain, should leave there notes with their cherished desires. According to legend, all the mysteries come true in a mysterious way.

Maybe this is due to the cross worship, established in 1998 , on which the words "Save and save" are written. Nobody can give explanations, but one thing is clear: when you are on the slope of the summit, you seem to be charged with positive energy, you are cleansed of the negative and absorb the entire strength of the virgin nature.

The Mountain Narodnaya is truly a unique creation that captivates beauty, power and height. To reach it is not easy, but it is possible on the northern or western slope. In winter, the climate here is heavy and cold with frosty winds and long blizzards - the average temperature is about -19 ° C.

Hikes are best to make in the summer months, at this time of the year the temperature is about + 12C - the weather conditions allow you to safely reach your destination. Complicate the path of stone ledges, blocks and ice packs with lakes. The relief here is mountainous with steep rocks and deep gorges, so it is necessary to climb it carefully.

Climbing equipment is not necessary, the main thing is to follow the exact route and listen to the accompanying guide. But without which you can not do without, it's without an SUV. Before entering the territory, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permission from the administration of the reserve "YugydVa". The road to the ridge takes 5-7 days.

At the height, tourists arrange tents and light a fire to keep warm on cold nights. The National Hill conquers newly arrived tourists with a snow-white carpet, clean air and crystal lakes - this is one of the best natural creations.
