Description
The Ural-Guberninsky gorge is an amazing corner of nature in Orenburg region. The gorge with a stormy river is not located in the mountains, but in the middle of a flat steppe plain, on which the mounds of the ancient Sarmatian nomads rise. The rocks among which the Guberli riverbed is laid are some of the oldest on Earth, these are diverse shales of the Proterozoic era. As a result of erosive destruction, they form picturesque rock sculptures resembling outlandish animals or birds.
The rocks among which the Guberli riverbed is laid are some of the oldest on Earth, these are diverse shales of the Proterozoic era. As a result of erosive destruction, they form picturesque rock sculptures resembling outlandish animals or birds. In ancient times, the pine forest, the southernmost pine outpost in the Urals, settled on the shales.
In the depths of the gorge, under the rocks, an amazing world of relict plants has been preserved: ferns, mosses, lichens, and rare flowering plants.
