Erlik Gate
Russia, Gorno-Altaisk, Uznesia village
Description:
"Erlik's Gate" is one of the most unusual sights, in its appearance resembling a stone door. It is almost at the top of the Seminsky Pass. The main feature is the origin. Scientists still argue: what is this geological formation or the remains of an ancient civilization?
Legends say that Erlick, the ruler of the lower world, returned in the morning after hunting for human souls through this gate. The scale of the door is small, as the owner was a dwarf. And this "portal" is in several places.
Finding the attraction is not difficult. On the 582nd kilometer of the Chui tract there is a sign of one of the hotels. If you go to the left and walk a couple of hundred meters, the Erlik Gate can be seen on the right side of you.
