Ancient Observatory "Trenches"
Description:
The mountain range of the Chests is a magical place that has another unique feature - excellent acoustics.
If at a certain time a person speaks, sitting in the “shaman’s chair”, the listeners in the canyon below hear him perfectly, although the distance between them is 200-300 meters. The shape of the first chest, resembling a horseshoe, creates a corridor along which the sound goes, without losing its volume and legibility. The magnificent view of the vast valley rarely leaves anyone indifferent.
One of the most interesting scribes of chests is the scribbler Skier, located on the fourth chest, not far from the road. The image of the skier is the first petroglyph of this type in the region. The skier itself is only a small part of the voluminous content of the scribble at the foot of the fourth chest. Petroglyphs, as it were, add up to a legend that tells about the adventures of the hero in three worlds - in our world, in the underworld of dark spirits and in the heavenly world of gods. According to legend, the Milky Way is the footprint of that skier.
