Magnificent Landscapes of Ayskiye Pritosy
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Nature, Regions, Travel
The Ay River is the largest tributary of the Ufa River and one of the most picturesque places in the Southern Urals. Ayskiye Pritosy is a unique natural geological object located on the Ay River, on the border of Chelyabinsk Oblast and the Republic of Bashkortostan.
These beautiful limestone cliffs, which are steep walls up to 90 meters high, consist of two groups – Bol’shiye (Big) Pritosy and Malye (Small) Pritosy. In the local dialect, Ayskiye Pritosy is called “Sybar-kaya”, which in translation from Bashkir language means “multi-colored cliff”. Ayskiye Pritosy on Google Maps. Photos by: Vladimir Lyapin.
