To the edge of quaint rocks

“He who has not seen the rocks has never been to Krasnoyarsk!” " That's what people say to visitors to the city. The Stolby Reserve is a visiting card of Krasnoyarsk. Every year, the Pillars are visited by about 350 thousand people. Citizens love and enjoy going to the poles at any time of the year. Although the trip comes with certain difficulties.

It is necessary to overcome about 15 km. mountain-taiga road and trails. There is a leisurely climb along the Tyagun, then along the short Pykhtun and we at the Pass, where we will certainly visit the souvenir shop and make a short rest. It was here in Krasnoyarsk that a unique community of people – “stolbists” – was born and lives. The brightest of them are undoubtedly the Abalakov brothers.

We will get acquainted with the most interesting group of rocks - Central. We will see the Elephant, the First and Second Pillar, Grandmother and Granddaughter, Grandfather, Feathers, Lion’s Gate and the Sinner’s Stone. In the course of the tour, we will get acquainted with the slang of columnists, learn and see what "skinder", "pocket", "cunning".

Climbing on Grandfather's shoulder, we understand what "vision" means. Well, we will certainly pass the ritual of purification with pillars and, of course, "Walking" and taking the oath.
