This night, unlike the first, was warm. Waking up even early in the morning there was a pleasure.

After the ritual hike in the forest, while the camp was still asleep, stepped in the grass across the meadow, paying special attention to the sector around the fire, along the way, gathered trash in the package. Flashlight has shown in the summer. It was hoped that someone from ours saw and caught, so as not to be lost, but she subsequently did not justify. A little annoyed went to lump.

In counterweight yesterday, no one decided to get up first, thinking that it was too early, since the rest were sleeping. The rise was announced after if if she looked at the clock, he was up to the beginning of the eleventh. The guys have complained that someone was smoked by someone in the camp, they would not stole anything! I honestly admitted that this insidious type is me.

Because of the island on the straightener ... (part first)

I love adventures very much, but at the same time I - "Yozh, Bird Proud, until you hide - do not fly."

So there were stars that the main magic Pendel in my life was a friend of Lyzy. She herself is still the adventurer in a good sense of the word: forever somewhere in something interesting is implicated.

What is me for? After several years, the clutter adventures found me! Spring's arrival, everything came into motion, the course of life picked up and suffered into the raging stream, which I had previously accounted for a party (or am I him?) And only occasionally pushed by blind splashes.

No matter how cool, almost all the bright and unforgettable days of this year (and not only this) are rooted in a significant day of my dating with the fox.
In early June, I was overtaken by another adventure in the face of Lisi and her brother Igor.

Alloy on aya! ALLOY!!! Previously, I, a person far from tourism, knew about it only on the heal. Of course, the experience of the night in a tent in nature I had, but it did not go any comparison with a four-day journey along the river: with catamarans, rocks, caves, a guitar by the fire.

I went to the unknown. When the husband asked me: "And where? And how much? And what and what? "I answered carelessly:" I don't know! ". I was not interested in such trifles. I was fascinated by the prospect of something magical, unknown. I jumped from happiness in the breaks between sewing comfortable walking clothes and other things.

By the evening Friday, the backpack was assembled. My Zhullenka was trying to make me change their mind with a light mandrage, but I did not give up. Lyzy with her husband drove closer to six, and we went to the place of Randevo of all participants in the event.

We arrived with a decent amount of time. This made it possible to choke a wonderful dinner, prepared by Lisina Mom (Mmmm, Nam-Yam!).

Next, I remember flashing bags with catamarans, packages with food, backpacks with things, two pieces of plywood ("Plywood?!"), Someone's hands, at that time still strangers and thoughts in the head: "How will this all pumped into the minibus? ! ". But the dexterity of the hands (and no fraud!) - And everything was tamped and distributed, the place was enough for everyone.

Ride on a deaf island, on the rock of the dams of the finger in Petropavlovka

After I sent Kolya and Olya, I went to dig potatoes, and wait for the signal that it was time to leave. If they did not come to contact at the appointed time, I would drive on a deaf island to seven o'clock anyway - with a check in Petropavlovka.

Communication friends came to four approximately, and I went to meet.

One-day alloy along the river ah. Part 3.

We are approaching one of the most mysterious places on the river ah. Many people will argue with me, say "And how caves?". I will answer - the caves are a riddle hidden from the human eye, and not everyone will risk crawling in cold impenetrable darkness. The same riddle is available to all, adults and children. I think you have already guessed that we are talking about "dry waterfalls"

Report

One-day alloy along the river ah. Part 1

Well, finally, in the Urals summer. Heat, heat, dust and full calm born in the head of thought about winter. About how it was cold on the street and cozy under the plaid with a hot mug of tea in her hands. Eh-xh, now cool to cool. Stop! And the idea! Damn it, as I didn't think about it immediately! "Rafting on the river ah"

Report

May. Path to nature. Pakes on the river ah.

After a long winter period, the soul required Nature. And such a nature, which would absorb you completely and did not let go. In that year, we went in the summer, while not a pop place in Bashkiria in God the forgotten village of Ighisla. I wanted repetitions, but something new and unknown.

The time is early, I have not really had time to doubt anything on the phase, so that the tent camp was under great doubt. But, nevertheless, we decided on a compromise. One overnight stay in a tent, one in civilization, since Elena Andreevna would definitely not transfer two torture by cold in nature. As it turns out further, I would also not only suffer, but I'll certainly die, spending the night in the tent.

- Rock big purses. This is a high and extended rock wall, up to 100 meters high.

The ai river is certainly among the most beautiful rivers of the Urals. Translated from Bashkir, its name means "Moon" or "Moon River". Flows through the territory of the Chelyabinsk region and Bashkiria. River length - 549 kilometers. There are many picturesque rocks, a lot of caves.

Big presses - business card river ah. They are impressive with their scales and beauty.

The definition of "big" transmits the magnitude of the rocks. "Priests" in relation to the rocks is very common in these places (in contrast, for example, from Chusovoy, where rocks are called stones). The oppresses here are called vertically converging to the river Rock. The word happened from "Tesk", "Rock".

And the Tatars and Bashkirs call these rocks otherwise - Sybar-Kaya, which means "Pepling Rock". And indeed it is. Which shades do not have a rock wall of large purses, including thanks to lichens.

The cliff with a length of almost a kilometer bent an arc on the left bank of the river, making here turning right.

Big sakes are completely reclining. Only in one place (and then not without difficulty) you can go upstairs.

In large priests there are several caves (the grotto of the junior, the first and second hood and others).

To visit B. grotty Junior Only climbers can, descending on the rope from above along a completely vertical rock wall. The height of the grotto from the foot of the cliff is 56 meters, and on top to the entrance to the cave of 26 meters.

Previously, local residents from the village of Kulmetovo called a darkest in the rock, the impregnable caraate caraway or Karakasy (black stone, black hole). The current name arose in 1969, when the cave was first examined by the students of the Club of young geologists from the city of Korkino under the leadership of the speleologist S.M. Baranova. In the next 1970, there was a population of the cave.

The grotto has a rectangular two-meter-oriented-oriented inlet. Shortly after the input, a well is formed a depth of four meters. From the four-meter grotto at the bottom of the well, a narrow slit leads to the rest of the cave. In the cold time and up to the beginning of summer, this part of the cave is covered with beautiful ice formations. The last hall of not accident is called an ice saber hall. Top-hanging ice stalactites in the form are similar to sabers, the length of them comes to 12 meters.

Another move comes from the entrance to the cave deep into the rock. It is narrow, 30 meters long. In total, the total length of the cave is 90.5 meters, depth 21 meters (in the Hall of Ice Sabel).

Nowadays, a cross is installed on a rock near the grotto.

To the right of a good one-visible grotty of a boy on crevice (sloe) can be climbed to the top of large purses. Filming along the river ah, you should not miss this opportunity. Here are planned boards with pinned across Brucki. It makes it easier to rise, but there are stones that roll down the book and can be injured below walking people. Be careful!

Shortly before the end of the rise in the mountain there are two small caves - First and second hood, named so on its location in the sidelire. Their length is 23 and 44 meters. For the first time were investigated by Satkin's speleologists "Search" Club in July 1978 under the leadership of V.V. Roshchina.

Locking on the oppression, it seems that you rose uphill. But by climbing, you see the plain and understand that this is the river ai flowing in a deep canyon.

From the top of large priests offers a beautiful view of the rocks and surroundings, on the river valley ah. The rocks are visible above and below the river. Hence the ship sailing along the river seem completely tiny. On large oppresses there is an equipped observation deck. Behind the trees a large field on which you can see grazing horses. Here is the Alekseevsky livestock farm. At the field there are karst funnels. In the south-east, the mountains are blue - the Kukshik Ridge.

Alpinists train on large oppresses, and extremals are jumping from them. Beautiful video about such suggests see.

Small sneakers and dry waterfalls

Small testes (or Yuldashkin comb) are less large-scale, but also good. Like large, they are on the left bank of the river (3 km above the river or 1.5 km on foot on the field).

The length of the cliffs is 750 m, the height is 60-80 m. The age of the limestone rocks is 370-350 million years old. If you look closely, you can pay attention to the extended protrusion. Rocks are covered with mkhami, lichens, partially covered with grass and even shrubs. Rocks facing the north are weakly illuminated by the sun. Start immediately after the rapid rolls.

But the main "chip" of small presters - Dry waterfalls (second name - Alekseevsky Log.).

Dry waterfalls are not visible from water, so you can easily swim by. Located on the left bank, just below the rocky yield of small purses.

Present sundoles with several cascades - transverse ledges. You can climb on them as the steps of the stone stairs. In antiquity, the river flowed here.

At the top of the rock, which breaks down from above along the field of the log. In the spring or after severe rainstones, a waterfall is 16.5 meters high. Under the rock there is a small lake in a walker funnel.

In my opinion, dry waterfalls are one of the most standing, memorable places on the river ah. Take care of these wonderful places!

Legend of priests

This story happened before the revolution. They began to disappear in the village of Termenis Horse. And not units, but entire of herds. The termented termenus and began to pour thief. And the thief turned out to be the Kulmetyevsky Tatar Yuldash. Yuldash secretly hijacked horses and sold them to gypsies.

Once after the next hijacking, Yuldash returned to his native village. But I was waiting for an ambush. The Termenis on the horses surrounded Yuldas. A wide Alekseevian field began to be on the right - not to hide, on the left - the rock on the river Ai is also not the go. Seeing that he does not break out of the ring, Yuldash straightened the horse, dispersed and under the evil whistle pursuers, together with a horse, jumped from the cliff, finding his death below.

The angry men did not spare and the wagon with Yuldashkin Good. They tilted there, where the owner jumped. In the wagon of that was a samovar that Yuldash took with him everywhere. He flew out and clogged in the raft of the rocks. It happened just in the place where the entrance to the mysterious cave (junior grotto) opens. A number of decades and hung that samovar "on an honest word". In it dried the wind, causing superstitious fear in people. Then he still fell and drowned in the river (in the mid-1960s).

The legend was recorded by Satkin Lamp V.P. Chernetov.

How to get to small and big priests?

I. (Bashka. ә) - River on the Southern Urals, the left and largest influx of the Ufa River.

Etymology

Under the suggestion of some scientists, Hyronim could arise from the name of the Bashkir Raptable Association Ayle (AI), living in the Valley of the River, which had Tamga in the form of a crescent.

Geography

In the area of \u200b\u200bwidespread karst form relief. For the flow of Aya, there are little studied and hard-to-reach Isline caves (from the village of Ailino, north of Sulia) and the extensive Laclin cave near the village of Lacla. On the left bank, 2 km above the lacquer, the curious phenomenon of nature is the "stone gates" formed in the ninecalenant limestone.

Below the lacquer nature of the relief is changing. The river goes into the hilly terrain of the monthly forest-steppe - the area of \u200b\u200bgrain and meat-dairy farms with the center in the month. This site is much more populated. Forests are small, along the edge of water thick thickets of an egg; Sandy beaches appear, there are excellent fishing places. From the village of Liegerevo Ai flow in low shores. On an extensive wetland valley, many lakes-old men. The course of the river slows down, stony rigs disappear, giving way to the plates and flames. A small threshold is found at Azangulovo (passing along the left bank).

Approximately 330 km from the beginning of the route, the village of Allegazo, the river approaches the Ufa plateau - the coast increases, forests appear. However, the mountains are here below and less harsh than at the beginning of the route. Lots of settlements. Allegazo Mill Mill Dam is on the left bank. 1 km from the dam - the central manor of the state farm Monitovsky.

Excerpt characterizing ah (river)

In one of the minutes, when everything was sainted on stage, waiting for the start of the Aria, the entrance door of the parquet creaks, on the side where there was a loving bed, and the steps of the pretended man were gone. "So he is Kuragin!" whispered Shinshin. The Countess of Bezuhova, smiling turned into an incoming. Natasha looked in the direction of the eye of the Countess Bezuhova and saw an unusually beautiful adjutant, with self-confident and together the courtesy of suitable to their bed. It was Anatole Kuragin, whom she saw long ago and noticed in the St. Petersburg Ball. He was now in Adjutant Mundire with one Epolet and Ekselbank. He walked discreet, well-gait, which would be ridiculous, if he would not be so good for himself and if there would be no such expression on a beautiful face and merry. Despite the fact that the action went, he, not in a hurry, slightly stuck with spurs and a saber, smoothly and highly carrying his infectious beautiful head, walked along the carpet of the corridor. Having looked at Natasha, he approached his sister, put his hand in the pione the glove on the edge of her lodges, shook her head and leaning asked something, pointing to Natasha.
- Mais Charmante! [Very Mila!] - he said, obviously about Natasha, as she did not hear as much as she understood on the movement of his lips. Then he passed the first row and sat down near Dologov, friendly and casually pushing the elbows of Tolokhov, with whom others were treated so embarrasingly. He winks having fun, smiled at him and rested his foot in the ramp.
- How similar brother and sister! - said Count. - And how good are both!
Shinshin in the field began to tell the count some story of Kuragin's intrigue in Moscow, to which Natasha listened precisely because he said about her Charmante.
The first act ended, in the parter we all got up, confused and began to walk and go out.
Boris came to the right of growth, very simply took congratulations and, raising his eyebrows, with a scattered smile, handed over Natasha and Son's request to his bride so that they were at her wedding, and came out. Natasha with a cheerful and flirty smile talked to him and congratulated the marriage of that Boris himself, in which she was in love before. In the state of intoxication in which it was, everything seemed simple and naturally.
Naked Helen sat beside her and smiled equally to everyone; And in the same way smiled at Natasha Boris.
Ellen's Lodge was filled and surrounded by the parquet as the most notable and smart men who seemed to want to show all that they were familiar with her.
Kuragin all this intermission stood with Dolokhov ahead of the ramp, looking at the right of growth. Natasha knew what he spoke about her, and it gave her pleasure. She even turned so that he was visible to be her profile, according to her concepts, in the most advantageous position. Before the start of the second act, the Pierre figure seemed the figure of Pierre, who was not seen from the arrival of Rostov. His face was sad, and he was still ate, since he was last seen Natasha. He, noticing anyone, passed in the first rows. Anatole approached him and began to talk to him, looking and pointing to the right of growth. Pierre, seeing Natasha, revived and hastily, in the ranks, went to their bed. Going to them, he leaned and smiling told Natasha long. During his conversation with Pierre, Natasha heard in the box of the Countess of a bellowed male voice and for some reason he learned that it was Kuragin. She looked around and met with her eyes. He almost smiling looking straight into her eyes with such a delighted, gentle glance, which seemed to be so close to him so close, so look at him, be so confident that I like him, and not to be familiar with him.
In the second act, there were pictures depicting the monuments and had a hole in the canvas depicting the moon, and the lamps were raised on the ramp, and began to play the bass pipe and double bass, and on the right and the left was a lot of people in black mantle. People began to wave their hands, and in their hands they had something like daggers; Then they came running some other people and began to drag away the girl, which was before in white, and now in the blue dress. They did not drag her immediately, but for a long time they sang with her, and then they had already dragged her, and behind the scenes they hit three times in something metallic, and everyone began to kneel and prayed a prayer. Several times all these actions were interrupted by enthusiastic cries of the audience.
During this act, Natasha every time she looked into the parquet, saw Anatola Kuragin, who had twisted his hand through the back of the chair and looked at her. She was nice to see that he was so captive her, and did not occur to anything wrong with that.
When the second act ended, the Countess of Bezyukhova got up, turned to the bed of growth (her chest was completely naked), his finger in the glove was an old graph to himself, and not paying attention to her right to lie, began to kindly smile talking to him.
"Yes, I introduce me to me with your adorable daughters," she said, "the whole city screams about them, and I don't know them.
Natasha got up and sat down a magnificent decanter. Natasha was so pleasant to praise this brilliant beauty that she blushed from pleasure.
"Now I also want to deal with a Muscovite," said Helen. - And how do you not conscientize such pearls in the village!
Countess Doss, by justice, had a reputation as a charming woman. She could say what she did not think, and especially to flatter, completely simple and naturally.
- No, cute graph, you let me go to your daughters. I at least now here will not for a long time. And you too. I will try to hang yours. I also heard a lot about you in St. Petersburg, and I wanted to know you, "she said Natasha with his one-eyed smile. - I heard about you and from my page - Drubetsky. Have you heard, he marries? And from a friend of my husband - Bolkonsky, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, "she said with a special emphasis, hinting with this that she knew him to Natasha. She asked to get better to get acquainted, allow one of the young lady to sit the rest of the play in her bed, and Natasha moved to her.
In the third act, there was a palace on stage, in which many candles burned and the paintings portrayed knights with beards were hanged. In the middle stood, probably, the king and the queen. The king freaked out the government, and, apparently, Roby, died bad something, and sat on the raspberry throne. The girl, who was first in white, then in blue, was now wearing one shirt with loose hair and stood near the throne. She sang slaughtered about something, turning to the queen; But the king strictly waved his hand, and men came out with his sides with naked legs and women with bare feet, and began to dance all together. Then the violins played very thin and fun, one of the girls with bare fat legs and thin hands, separated from others, moved behind the scenes, corrected the corsage, came out for the middle and began to jump and soon beat one foot about another. All in the parter slammed their hands and shouted Bravo. Then one man became in the corner. The orchestra played louder to cymbals and pipes, and one of this man with bare feet began to jump very high and minced my legs. (This man was Duport, who received 60 thousand per year for this art.) Everything in the parter, in the lodges and the district began to clap and shouting with all his might, and the man stopped and began to smile and bowed on all directions. Then other other, with bare feet, men and women were dancing, then again one of the kings shouted something to the music, and everyone began to sing. But suddenly a storm was made, chromatic gammas and chords of reduced septim were heard in the orchestra, and all ran and dragged one of those present behind the scenes, and the curtain fell. Again, a terrible noise and cracking rose between the spectators, and everyone with enthusiasts began to shout: Dubera! Dista! Dista! Natasha no longer found it strange. She is happy to smile happily, looked around him.

Of the many rivers of the South Urals, the river ai is allocated by changeability. Plots with insanely beautiful cloth cliffs are replaced by the plain areas. And so all over the river.

Tourists have a very popular river.

Food, like all the rivers of the Southern Urals, mainly snow. The average annual water consumption at the mouth of the river ah - 84 m3 / s.

Frozen ah in mid-November, revealed at the end of April, early May. The ai river is conventionally divided into two parts. Mountain, from the source to the village of Lacla. Irany, from the village of Lakly, to the mouth. On the river Ai are two cities, Zlatoust and Megeve. Although the second can be considered a city conditionally and rather, this is an urban type village. Stoke River Ai regulated by three reservoirs. One of which is in the origins of the river, and two in the town of Zlatoust. The main tributaries of the river Ai on the right: Kusa, Big Arsha, Kigi, Bol. IR. Left - Big Satka, Lemaz, Meleks.

The word "ah" in Bashkir language means "moon". Those. Ah - moon river. Although it is possible that this common folk etymology and the name comes from some other outskirt. After all, in the same areas, another river begins, which is called uy. Ai and uy are quite consonant with each other. There is something to think about even toponymists.

Ai, the river is an alloy. In the large water is available for alloy in the upper course, but the alloy along the river ai is better to start from G. Zlatoust. But it is in the larger water. In the summer, with a low level of water in the river, the alloy according to Ayu is best to start from the mouth of the river Big Satka. Or as an option for big shatka, from the village of the thresholds and then along the river ah. This will allow you to see one of the most interesting engineering monuments of the Urals - a hydroelectric station built on Big Satka back in 1910. By the way, the HPP is still in force on it by another 1909, as evidenced by brass tags on turbines and generators. And below the mouth of a large satka begins the famous Aiskienesses, stretching to the village of Lacla. Rafting on the river Ai on this site will allow you to enjoy picturesque cliffs, caves and aisa petroglyphic writers. In addition, before the lacquer's village on the river Ai, there is a famous cave hail of Sicyaz-Tamaka, but a little later.

Interesting can be alloy in the lower flow of the river Ai, from the village of Mostatykinsky, if it is combined with the alloy along the Ufa River. In these places, good fishing both on the ai river and on Ufimka.

From the other rivers of the Southern Urals, the Ai River is distinguished by one interesting property - in the river constantly muddy water. Obviously, such breeds on the banks of the river. On the River Ai No thresholds and shiver, usually characteristic of the mountain river. River smooth bottom. In the mountain part of the river Ai Willow. Above the ancient village of Lacla along the shores here, and there are picturesque rocks, called squeezes here. Almost everyone has its name. The terrain on the shores of Aya is strongly tarnished and there are many caves in the district. Laclinskaya , Kurganazak, Isline caves and, of course, quite recently open and described Sicyazyamak cave region, which includes 38 cave objects.

Places along the banks of the river are very interesting and from the point of view of history, local history. Many legends are associated with these places. About the Starta Averkia, who lived in the cave of Averkiyev Yama. About the peasant war and Pugachev treasure. The villages of the Old and New Pier standing on the shores of the river Ai were really once markers on which the products of the Satkin plant on Barki were shipped and sent to the larger water down the river. On the robber, old goods and the head of the Zlatoust factories and scientist. Interesting will be visited by the monastery in Istrut. The attraction of the banks of the Ai River - Cave Averkiyev Yama. The legend is connected with the legend of those who have ever, elder Averkia.

The ai river is very beautiful, especially beautiful Aishi sneakers. From the population of the surrounding cities of the cities of Zlatoust, and especially satts with great pleasure spent time in the summer on her shores. From everywhere, music on the principle is heard everywhere - who has louder, that cooler. Especially crowded in the summer opposite the rocks of Sicyyaz-Tamak. In summer, flourishes on the shores of the river ah and commercial tourism. Groups on the alloy go one after another and the river ah again turns into a worker. Popular and fishing on the river ah.

You can get to the river Ai by the Ufa-Chelyabinsk railway, to Zlatoust or Kusus station, Gornozavodskaya Railway Bakal -Chusovskaya. On the car can be reached by the federal highway M5 to the city of Zlatoust or through Satka to the village of Megeve. Option to village

I was not ai before muddy. In my childhood, cancers were found near Kusinsky gardens. When Zlatoust factories began to pollute the river, and the crawls began and the cancers did not become, and the fish almost did not remain.

South Urals is famous for its rivers, the picturesque nature of the taiga, amazingly beautiful natural attractions. River Ai, the left inflow of a large Ufa River, perhaps the most colorful among the rivers of the South Urals. 549 km of its length.

Half of his way River Ai flowing in the Chelyabinsk region (271 km), another half of the Republic of Bashkiria (278 km), where he flows into R.Ufu. The beginning takes close to the town of Zlatoust Chelyabinsk region from a large cranberry swamp, which is located between the ridges of berry mountains, ubony and aviak.

Food is basically snow and at the expense of the tributaries: Kiga, Lemaz, Mulex, Kusa, etc. Water is not transparent, muddy, because it originates from the swamp, and many limestone in the coastal soils. Here you have to be prepared for a frequent change of water level: when drought, in July, it becomes quite small, but it is worth passing rain - water arrives rapidly.


Ay, translated from Bashkir, sounds like "Moon River, Moon Beauty." She is really very beautiful. The depth rarely exceeds 1 meter, from the source to S. Lakla, its path lies among the mountains, this part of it is called - the mountain, the flat part comes from with. Lacla down to the mouth. On the shores are the cities: Mezvea, Zlatoust, Kusa, 3 reservoirs.


In the lower house

The River Valley is considered the most humid terrain of the Southern Urals, it thumps over the forest. Logging is underway here. Up until the twentieth century Ai was the main water artery on which barges were fused with iron from local plants - Kusinsky, Zlatouustovsky, Satkinsky. In the river basin there is a world Magnesite deposit. Rich sandstone deposits, dolomite, siderita, limestone, granite, marble and other minerals. Diamonds and gold found in applying sediments.
