Abstract

The Yakhya and Radio villages are located in the Salavat district in the north-east of the Bashkortostan Republic; now it is part of the UNESCO Yangan-Tau Geopark. The territory is composed of carbonate rocks extending meridionally from east to west – Precambrian, Devonian and Carboniferous, emerging on the surface in the left and right riverside cliffs of the Yuryuzan River valley. Caves, grottoes have formed in carbonate rocks, which have attracted the attention of people since historical times. Pine and birch forests growing on the slopes of the mountains, combined with the Yuryuzan River and its tributaries, create beautiful landscape of the western ranges of the Southern Urals. All of the above was the aim of this paper, which characterizes the area, systematizes the description of geological and geomorphological objects, briefly describes the biological diversity of the territory, and also proposes tourist excursion routes aimed at the scientific and educational development of the territory.
