"Krasnoyarsk Pillars is a unique phenomenon. Many books and articles have been written about Pillars, many films have been shot. Poems are dedicated to them, songs have been written about them, they serve as a source of inspiration for artists. Many destinies are associated with them. Many events have happened on Pillars. there lives a unique movement of Stolby, with its own traditions and peculiar folklore. Outstanding climbers and climbers were brought up on Stolby. An amazing living corner was created on Stolby - the shelter of Dr. Aibolit ..."Here is an excerpt from the official website of the Krasnoyarsk pillars. I won't try to say it better)) This reserve is a truly unique place, and the pillars themselves - stone giants - are built like a big constructor, which the giants once played. What are the pillars is a little difficult to explain.
It seems to be an outcrop of rocks, and like a heap of huge stones, stacked perfectly close to each other. It needs to be seen, touched, heard...The reserve itself is very large. Almost a tenth of it is available to tourists. And it is divided into several zones like this: tourist, dangerous, very dangerous. The ascent to the poles is carried out exclusively on foot, because driving a car is prohibited. For some people, this may be an overwhelming task, because climbing to the pillars is climbing uphill for 2-3 hours at an average pace. And only at the very approach to the pillars wide wooden stairs are installed, because it becomes very steep there. But even climbing to the pillars is very exciting, because now there are a lot of souvenir shops, swings, benches and benches for rest, a lot of stands with information about the reserve, plants, animals.
There are even several rest stops there, equipped with snack kiosks and large tables with benches. Also, not so long ago, an eco-trail appeared there. This is a wooden ramp road away from the main road. Here, walking along this eco-path, we enlightened about the flora and fauna =))) There is also such a special place where signs with the names of the dead climbers are attached to a kind of brick wall. And next to the church. There, apparently, you can put a candle. There seem to be names from all over the world. This is also noteworthy because a young rock climber, Volodya Teplykh, died on one of the pillars in the Soviet years. This rock is called "Feathers". The plaque on Feathers also testifies to this: "The rock did not destroy him, she took him to her... " The general positive mood of various motivating and encouraging posters on the way to the pillars cannot be ignored. Still would! You have to climb high on foot. But it's worth it. The pillars are mesmerizing.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND for people who are not fond of hiking, manifestations of the uniqueness of nature, fresh air and walks. What would you recommend to others? - Be sure to visit the Krasnoyarsk pillars. From the city you can quickly get there by bus. - Plan a whole day for the trip and take a local guide if possible. - Take food and delicious tea with you or buy everything there. You will definitely want to eat. And eating after a long walk in the freshest "delicious" air is a pleasure. - Take insect repellant, especially ticks. *I put 9* out of 10* because after all that I have seen and passed, it would be nice to go down by car =)))
