Stone City in Ergaki

The Stone City is situated in Yermakovsky district, in the Ergaki nature park. Here, on the territory of 3 sq.km, the nature has formed an entire constellation of stone creatures. In some way they resemble Krasnoyarsk Stolby, but in miniature. The silhouettes of the rocks remind castle walls and towers, figures of people, birds and animals. And, of course, it’s hard to believe, that all this was created by the nature without any human participation. This is a real pearl of the Sayans, which is undoubtedly worth visiting.

If you have already come up with the idea of making a trip to this mystic space, you should know that it is situated 28 km from the Ergaki recreation centre (600 km from Krasnoyarsk). But you won’t get to the Stone City by a usual car – the road there is for off-roaders or 4WD jeeps, so, do not hesitate, get registered for an organized excursion at the reception of the centre.
