Rafting on the Vishera river. Rafting on the Vishera River: Stones Talkative and Vetlan. Possible variants of group alloys

By Vishera- after passing long reach we were waiting for a parking lot with two overnight stays opposite talkative stone.

The guide-guide, who sailed with us on a catamaran, long before arriving at the place, described to us in detail the amazing features of this stone - due to the peculiarities of its location and its relief, the rock has a beautiful echo. If you are lucky with the location point, then the stone clearly and quite loudly answers the exclamations addressed to it.

Talking Stone

In the meantime, we rowed with all our might - the current appeared and then disappeared again. Word games are all already bored, everyone legends listened - I just wanted to go ashore and do some kind of vigorous activity. In the meantime, albeit picturesque, but completely different rocks floated by.

And now, towards evening, Vishera opened her waters and a majestic wall appeared right at the course. talkative stone.

The stone really makes an impression - an almost flat vertical wall 60 meters high and almost two kilometers long! It was the smoothness of the stone that was especially impressive - from a distance it seemed that the water had polished it to an almost perfect surface. And if other rocks were rocks broken in different directions, then Talkative was just an atlas of geological periods - it would be interesting to invite some talking head from science to mark them on stone.

We stood in the parking lot opposite the very beginning of the stone. There is a deep pool here, in which the inhabitants of the nearby village once industrially caught taimen.

As for the echo, they really did not deceive us - it is distinct and very bizarre near the stone. It is a pity that the microphone of the phone does not transmit it well.

Morning greeted me with an almost impenetrable wall of fog. No stone, no river - everything was drowned in a veil glowing in the morning sun. While I was awake for about five minutes wandering along the shore, the fog, like a curtain in a theater, began to pull off. Run for the camera! - managed to grab only his small traces.

In the morning rays of the sun, the texture of the stone looked the most successful.

Closer to dinner, we went on a short excursion to the stone. The climb is not difficult, the views are great!

On the farthest mountain, immersed in blue, one can see the remnants of the Memorial Stone.

Well, how about without a panorama from above ?!

In the sunset rays, the stone is also extremely picturesque - oh, if you could take these views with you!

The second night, fun activities around the fire - and now the last day of our rafting.

Village Talkative

Farewell to talking stone- immediately behind it opens the slope on which it was the village of Talkative. Now only a few houses in the form of dachas and Trinity Church. Once upon a time there was a wooden parish in its place - it was set up around 1750 specifically for the Mansi converted to Orthodoxy and only in 1832 was replaced with a stone one. By the end of the Soviet era, the church fell into decay - the bell tower collapsed, the church also breathed its last. However, at the time of our visit, the interior of the church was clearly undergoing unhurried repairs, but at the same time there were icons and it was open to the public.

Vetlan and Polyud

The last, sixth day of rafting began under a cloudy sky - after a hot and stuffy week, a cyclone came to Perm land. It got cold, heavy clouds occasionally poured drizzling rain. We, leaning on the oars, went to the final point of our expedition.

The only stop was supposed to be at the iconic landmark -. But before him there were still a few kilometers on the water, and we already began to come across artifacts Vetlana- robes, artificial islands.

Historical note:In 1925, in view of the acute shortage of paper in the USSR, under the chief of supply of the Red Army, the VISHKHIMZ trust (Vishera chemical factories and plants) was created, to which forest areas of about 10 thousand square meters were transferred. km in the basin of the Vishera River and its tributaries.

In 1930, on the site of the village of Vizhaikha, the working settlement of Krasno-Vishersk began to grow (it received the status of a city and its modern name in 1942). The construction of both the pulp and paper mill and the city itself was carried out mainly by the prisoners of the 4th department of the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp (from 1929 to 1934 - independent management of the Vishera camps).

Following, along the entire basin of the Vishera and its tributaries, logging stations began to appear one after another (later turned into villages and towns), and rafts with wood for the pulp and paper mill floated along the river. To preserve navigation along the river, as well as sorting and storing timber, zapani began to be built along the channel of the Vishera - chains of man-made islands interconnected by steel ropes. They were made from wooden log cabins filled with stone from the inside.

Vishera Pulp and Paper Mill (after the privatization of Visherabumprom OJSC) existed in various forms until 2008, and in 2014 Uralalmaz CJSC followed its sad example

Ryazhi are characteristic man-made structures on the Vishera in the Krasnovishersk region. In the distance you can see the wave of Mount Poljud

And soon a wall appeared on the horizon Vetlana. On the right hand we approach the last of the "small" rocks Vishera - stone Kedrovets. Opposite him, across the river, hid behind the trees village Talitsa.

Right on the course - Vetlan!
Stone Kedrovets (Cedar)

Another half an hour and here we are under the monumental wall of the colossus Vetlana. Of all three of the largest rocks Vishera(others and Talkative) Vetlan the highest - according to some sources, it rises 142 meters above the water's edge! And the length of the wall itself is almost 1750 meters! Like other large rocks, it stands on the bend of the river, which creates the feeling that the river rests on it.

Vetlan makes a special impression from the water, and not from the road at its foot!

On the Vetlana this is not the first time for me - this is already the fourth visit for me, but I still feel some excitement when I leave the edge of the forest on its top to the open splendor of the northern nature of the region.

And here is the characteristic chain of robes - because of them, the views from Vetlan cannot be confused with anything.

A small note for tourists climbing Vetlan for the first time:A couple of years ago, after an accident while climbing, a wooden ladder was dismantled, which could climb to the top of the cliff. There are now two alternatives - and neither is better than the other. You can go along a steep path on the site of the former staircase - in addition to a significant slope, you will have to walk along patches of damp earth and scree of stones. Fortunately, on the most difficult site there are railings made of steel wire - you can play it safe. However, I would also recommend bringing sticks with you. The second route goes along the left slope of Vetlan - you will have to go along the entire wall, and then also go, albeit a slightly gentle, but dirtier slope.

On one of the rocks you can see an interesting structure - as far as I understand, it is used by extreme people for jumping from the cliff.

FROM Vetlana also offers the best views of the second popular attraction of the "weekend" -. On the Polyude I have also been three times already - at different times of the year. From the river to Polyuda about 7 kilometers. From the side Krasnovisherska it can only be reached by crossing the river to Bahari village. Directly opposite it is a research and production base, on the territory of which you can leave the car, as well as take the coordinates of local residents who provide services for transferring to Polyud: in winter you can drive directly from the river to the summit Polyuda on a snowmobile, and in the summer on UAZs, shorten the path by about 4 kilometers.

Rafting on the Middle Vishera: video

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE RIVER:

Vishera is a river in the Perm Territory, the left tributary of the Kama River (flows into the Vishera Bay of the Kama Reservoir).

Length - 415 km, basin area - 31,200 km². The average height of the river catchment is 317 meters. The average slope of the river is 0.2 meters per 1 kilometer.

The fifth longest river in the Perm Territory, one of the most picturesque rivers in the Urals. It starts in the northeast of the region, on the border with the Komi Republic and the Sverdlovsk region. It flows mainly along the foothills of the Urals, having for the most part the character of a fast mountain river flowing in a narrow valley; many shoals and rapids. Karst phenomena are common in the basin.

The right source of the Vishera - Malaya Vishera - originates on the Yany-Emta ridge, the left - Bolshaya Vishera - from the spurs of Porimongit-Ur, one of the peaks of the Poyasovy Kamen ridge, on the very border of the Komi Republic, the Sverdlovsk Region and the Perm Territory. The sources are separated by the Vishera Stone and merge at the northern foot of Army Mountain.

Vishera from the source to the village of Ust-Uls is a stormy mountain river with a large number of riffles. Its width here is up to 70 meters.

Middle Vishera - from Ust-Uls to the mouth of the Kolva - a river up to 150 meters wide with many rifts and reaches. The river valley here is expanding significantly, but there are still many coastal cliffs.

The Lower Vishera (from the confluence of the Kolva to the confluence of the Vishera with the Kama) is a flat river, overflowing in places up to 900 meters.

Throughout the course in the channel and along the banks there are rocks and stones, many rifts. Vishera is characterized by high floods, rain floods and low summer low water. The main left tributaries of the Vishera are Niols, Capelin, Vels, Uls, Yazva, Akchim; the main right ones are Lopya, Lypya, Vaya, Kolva.

Meals are mixed, with a predominance of snow. It freezes in late October - early November, opens in late April. Floating. Regular passenger service to the city of Krasnovishersk. There are diamond deposits in the Vishera basin.

The Vishera Nature Reserve is located in the upper reaches.

Rafting on the Vishera River

The Vishera River is one of the largest Ural rivers. At the confluence, even the Kama is inferior to the Vishera in terms of water content. Vishera has two sources, they are separated by the Vishera Stone.

The left source, the Bolshaya Vishera River, originates on the watershed axis of the Ural Range, on the Purminsky Stone, or rather, under the peak with a mark of 1128.1 m, called the Mansi Saclaimsori-Chakhl.

This is a unique point of the Urals - eight (!) borders converge in it: Europe and Asia; Perm, Sverdlovsk regions and the Komi Republic; as well as the watershed spaces of the three great rivers of Russia - the Ob (Purma), the Pechora (Malaya Khozya) and the Volga (Vishera). On July 25, 1997, a memorial column "Europe-Asia" was erected here in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Perm Region.

The right source, the Malaya Vishera River, begins on the Yany-Emta ridge, near Khalsori-Chakhl Mountain (986.6 m). At the northern foot of Mount Army, or Munin-Tump, both sources merge (with the length of Bolshaya Vishera - 24 km, and Malaya - 16) and form a significant mountain river. There was a time when Big Vishera was called in Mansi Passer-Ya (big water), Small Vishera was called Khalsori-Ya.

PILOT ON THE VISHERA RIVER:

The entire course of the Ural river Vishera can be divided into three parts. The Upper Vishera River from its source to the mouth of the Uls River (182 km) flows in a mountainous area with rocky banks surrounded by high Ural ranges: Tulymsky, Chuvalsky and Berezovsky Stones.

The first significant tributaries on the left side are the Niols and Moiva rivers, on the right - Lopya and Lypya. 8 km above the mouth of the latter are the Vishera rapids, in Mansi Yakhtel-Ya. This part of the Vishera is the least inhabited - only one Vels village at the mouth of the tributary of the same name. Most of the Upper Vishera is located on the territory of the Vishera Reserve.

The middle Vishera from the mouth of the Uls to the mouth of the Kolva (199 km) is also mountainous in the upper section, but as it approaches Krasnovishersk, reaches appear and the banks go down. There are many coastal rocks-stones: Windy, Gostinovsky, Fighter, Pisanny, Pillars, Perforated, Den, Talkative, Vetlan. In this part, the banks of the river are the most populated, here are the villages and towns of Vaya, Akchim, Sypuchi, Visherogorsk, Zavovorukha, Romanikha, Talitsa, Bahari, Ust-Yazva, as well as the regional center Krasnovishersk.

The Lower Vishera from the mouth of the Kolva to the confluence with the Kama (34 km) is a typically flat river.

Vishera River: flora and fauna

About 150 flora species of the Vishera region are rare and subject to protection. More than three dozen of them are listed in the Red Book. There are unique and typical breeds here, which are considered standards not only for the Urals, but for the whole of Eurasia. In the north-east of the region there are the oldest stromatolite marbles of the Moyva suite in the outcrops of the Perm region, their age is about a billion years.

The fauna of the region is diverse due to representatives of the European and Siberian fauna. The Vishera and its tributaries are inhabited by: grayling, burbot, minnow, char, spike and a typically Siberian species, found in Europe only in the Kama basin, taimen (its other names are: krasulya, red fish, red pike, laziness, Chusovsky laziness, sucker, talmen). There is a known case of the capture of a 40-pound beluga in Vishera near the village of Sypuchi in 1861. In the tributaries of the Vishera, there lives a sculpin, listed in the Red Book, which is an indicator of the purity of the water. In total, more than 30 species of fish are found in the Vishera with its tributaries, lakes and oxbow lakes.

In the upper reaches of the Vishera there is the largest population of grayling and taimen in the region and Europe. Until 1958, the grayling fishery flourished, in addition to the Vishera, on the rivers Berezovaya, Uls and Vels. Up to 187 centners of fish were caught there annually (more than in Karelia, Ladoga and Onega lakes combined). Currently, there is no industrial fishing for grayling on the Ural rivers.

(view from the stone Talkative) Vishera

Bear and beaver are common in the Vishera region, wolverine, tundra partridge and wood grouse are common. And the golden eagle, osprey, derbnik and ptarmigan are listed in the Red Book. We also saw a black stork here - a mysterious bird, also listed in the Red Book. The belief about him says: whoever finds the black stork's nest, death will inevitably await him. In the upper reaches of the Vishera and Lypya rivers, there are flocks of swans. Herds of reindeer live in the mountain tundra. Vishera forests are rich in "soft gold". In the dark coniferous taiga on the slopes of the mountains, the yellowish-brown Ural sable lives. Here is the western border of its habitat. The valuable fur-bearing animal feeds on pine nuts, hunts for voles and hazel grouse. Large Ural sable and marten gave a valuable cross, a new prolific animal - kidus (kidas). This type of fur-bearing animal is found only in the mountains of the Northern Urals; in the Perm region, kidus lives in the upper reaches of the Ural River Vishera.

The king of beasts is undoubtedly the moose. Entire kilometers of thick bark gnaws - the so-called "moose canteens" - appear during the winter in the floodplains of the rivers.

FISHING ON THE VISHERA RIVER:

Fishing on the Vishera River in this tour starts immediately from the border of the Vishera Reserve (the place is called the Round Hole - the name comes from a deep round pit on the Vishera at the junction of two branches of the river). For fishing on the Vishera River, vouchers (licenses) of the Vishera Reserve are no longer required here.

We can safely say that the fishing tour is the second in terms of catchability on the entire river. There are a lot of large fish (grayling up to 2 kg, taimen up to 15 kg) in the area from the Round Pit to 71 quarters. Here, as in the Vishera Reserve, you can count on trophy specimens.

A distinctive feature of fishing on the Vishera River on this route from fishing tours down the river (for example, fishing on the Vishera below 71 quarters) is the almost complete absence of rafting tourists, because. the extreme point for an automobile transfer to Vishera is the tract 71 quarter).

The most numerous grayling population in Europe, the Siberian taimen is found on Vishera.

Autumn fishing on the Vishera River is possible until November

Fishing for grayling in the upper reaches of the Vishera (71 quarter)

Fishing for grayling is carried out in the upper reaches of the Vishera, from the border of the Vishera Reserve to the extreme settlement on the Vishera - the village of Vels. The peculiarity of this route is good stable fishing for grayling (up to 2 kg) with rafting on a catamaran along the river, which provides good opportunities for fishing all areas of the fish stop. Taimen is also found in the river and reaches 25 kg. Agree that catching taimen of this size is not an easy task. Fishing is possible both from the shore and from a catamaran or boat.

Fishing for grayling: tackle

Despite the fact that grayling is a very cautious and difficult fish to catch, grayling fishing can be done with a variety of gear. For grayling fishing, local residents use a wide variety of tackle: spinning, float fishing rod, boat. Excellent results are shown by such tackle as fly fishing. Fly fishing for grayling is a real pleasure.

What baits to use for grayling fishing

For fishing for grayling with spinning, spinners (rotators 2-6 numbers of golden and silver colors), sinking flies for spinning are suitable. For fishing on a float rod, a worm or maggot is used. Fly fishing for grayling is best for dry (floating flies) in gray, greenish, orange and yellow shades. Of course, for fly fishing you should use a floating line and a rod to pick up 5-6 numbers.

Fishing for taimen is difficult and requires skill. But as a result, the capture of taimen is a real pleasure for the fisherman. After all, it is not for nothing that there is a whole group of fishermen "taymesatnikov". There is an opinion that taimen lives only in Siberia. This is not true. Taimen is also found in the Urals, including the most beautiful river, the Vishera.

The maximum size of actually caught taimen in recent times is up to 25 kg, although, as elsewhere, the bulk is about 4-8 kg. On Vishera, taimen lives from the upper reaches (Vishera Reserve, real trophy fishing is possible there) to Shchugor. Along the way, grayling is caught, and from Vai - also pike.

ALLOY BY VISHER:

Rafting is such a special kind of recreation, going down the river on a catamaran, sitting on your own backpack with a paddle in your hand. This is enjoying the beauties of the Ural nature, the Vishera Reserve, rock climbing, visiting caves, active games during stops, songs with a guitar by the evening fire and midnight conversations, but a tourist bath during summer rafting is a separate indescribable experience! Throughout the rafting, you are surrounded by constantly changing beautiful landscapes: river bends, islands, grandiose rocks along the banks up to 100 meters high, which you can climb. No wonder Vishera is called the most beautiful river in the Urals. Clear water, a feeling of complete unity with nature - all this makes the trip unforgettable.

This is accompanied by fairy tales that have surrounded Vishera since ancient times. Here is one of the most romantic ones. In ancient times, two powerful and beautiful hunter heroes lived near the Stone Belt. Their names remained in the memory of people - Vetlan and Poljud. Slender and tall was Poljud, remarkable strength was in his hands, and Vetlan was not inferior to his comrade, only he was shorter in stature, but wider in the shoulders. Together they hunted in dense forests, fought together with enemies, there was no stronger stone in the whole district than the friendship of these two hunters. Time passed, imperceptibly for everyone, the daughter of the great shaman Paser-Ya or, as the hunters called her, Vishera grew up and turned into a beauty. The hunters fell in love with the girl, and no one knew who would get her. The great shaman, envious of the glory of the hunters, kept thinking how to upset this strong friendship. The shaman decided to kill the bogatyrs and said that he would give his daughter to the one who would throw one hundred pounds of stones to each other. The competition began, stones flew from one hero to another. Vishera could not stand this torture, she threw herself between the heroes, but it was too late. The heroes filled themselves with stones. Vishera sobbed and turned into a river, dressed in stone banks in memory of her suitors. And the great shaman, having lost his beloved daughter, died of grief at the Memorial Stone. Since then, sometimes the Vishera and its tributaries wash out beautiful diamond stones, they are beautiful, and there is no price for them, these are the tears of a beauty, where else can you find them?

RATING REPORT ON THE VISHERA RIVER(information from the site http://www.dv-pro.ru/)

The Vishera River (the ancient name Passer-Ya, big water, with Mansi) - originates on the western slopes of Mount Gumpkapai. Further, the Vishera flows southwest along the Poyasovoy Ridge, along the Tulymsky, Chuvalsky and Yubryshkin stones, then turns west to the mouth of the Vaya River, and flows generally southwest to Krasnovishersk.

The Vishera has the main tributaries in the upper part: Lopya (pr.), Niols (left), Capelin (left), Lypya (pr.), Vels (left), Uls (left).

From the point of view of a water tourist, Vishera is divided into two parts:

1. The area above the mouth of the Lypya River. Characteristic for hikes of the second category of difficulty, contains the Vishera rapids.

2. The site below the mouth of the Lypya River, to the city of Krasnovishersk. It contains many reaches, obstacles, with rare exceptions, simply bypass or correspond to 1 c.s. From the village of Vaya to Krasnovishersk there is a standard route 1 k.s.

Reference Information.

Mount Prayer, or Prayer Stone (1250 m.) - a peak in the southern part of the Belt Range between the Khu-Soyk ridge and Oika-Chakur mountain (1279 m.) , Lozva basin. Basically, it is composed of large and medium scree, the difficulty of climbing along the simplest path is non-categorical, along the most difficult one, from the southeast, about 1B. It is located in an area where there are no developed tourist routes, as a result of which it is rarely visited by tourists.

According to local residents, the mountain area is a bad place, or an anomalous zone, in the modern sense. The name Molebnaya is associated with the facts of the mysterious death of a group of tourists-skiers in the fifties, the appearance of strange-looking flying objects, inexplicable natural phenomena, as well as many rumors and conjectures. In addition to the real events that took place here, other accidents that took place in the area are often associated with Molebnaya, for example, the death of the Dyatlov group under the pass of the same name, 40 kilometers to the north.

Reference Information.

The Chuvalsky stone ridge has a length of 18 km, and in the northern part it expands to 6 km. along the border of the treeless zone; height up to 800 m in the southern part. The ridge separates the valleys of the Vishera and its tributary, the Vels River; in the northern part, on its slopes, in particular, the sources of the Moiva River and its tributary Deciduous, as well as the tributary of the Vels River - South Vels, rest. The western slope is steeper and abounds in wooded spurs, while the eastern slope gently descends to Vels and is rich in swamps and streams, as well as thickets of Rhodiola rosea, or golden root (the plant is listed in the Red Book, the collection is punishable by a hefty fine).

The flora is common for these places: coniferous, mainly spruce, low-quality forest, with an admixture of cedar and birch, above - oppressed ordinary and, in some places, dwarf birches, meadows in the southern part and swamps in the northern. Berries: blueberries, blueberries, cloudberries, lingonberries, raspberries and red currants in the forests, cranberries in the swamps of the northern slopes.

We expected that the ZIL-157 car would be able to easily cross the shallow Vishera, usually at this time of the year, and climb the southern slope of Chuval along the way. The main difficulties were assumed in the patency of the road, even for such an all-terrain vehicle, but the difficulties began earlier - the elements were unfavorable. The water on the rift below 71 quarters, where there was a ford, stood above the waist and actively mixed the small pebble bottom. The bottom did not even hold legs - there could not even be a question of overcoming the ford by a heavy machine. I had to climb the mountain on foot. With alloys, by the way, on the shoulders. The first warning to followers: if you want to enter Chuval by car, know that it is possible, but extremely difficult. At the very least, a four-wheel drive KAMAZ with a winch and a desperately determined adventurous driver who does not spare him in the least are needed.

So, we heartily said goodbye to our transport benefactors, sincerely wishing them a happy journey back, and surrendered to the power of the elements, which carried us 4 km down the river, to the beginning of the ascent to Chuval.

(Stone Written)

Vishera is amazing in the evening. Here, above the mouth of the Vels, the water is very clear, and even the illusion of very shallow places arises where the depth is still sufficient for a motor boat. The fast current confidently carries ships, and you just need to choose the right side from which to bypass the next island that you meet on the way. The oxbows along the banks are densely overgrown with bushy willows and a variety of herbs, shallows - unknown to us, due to the absence of botanists in the group, burdock plants that make up entire rich green carpets.

The vanes are very useful for tourists - they indicate those places where the golden bottom comes too close to the surface of the water and threatens to break the shabby, patched-patched rubber of an ancient rafting vehicle that has been regularly carrying tourists along different rivers for decades. After all, sports tourism has never had sponsors, so the precious one-time PSNs are falling into disrepair, the integrity of which often depends on the life or health of a dozen team members. However, of course, this has nothing to do with the beauties of the evening Vishera.

Memory, fortunately, is not subject to the elements: we easily found the beginning of the ascent to Chuval and, full of expectation of the future, settled down for the night. It began to get dark, the air turned cold, the light evening breeze subsided, and the atmosphere was suddenly filled with the suspicious rumble of blood-sucking insects, for brevity we called "Messerschmites" in the entire assortment. Strange, mosquitoes in August?..

When there are 5 men in a group of 12 people, and even three teenagers, who are not very capable of backpacks, the weight of backpacks grows suspiciously strongly. PSN in the kit weighs more than 40 kg; packed, he pulled more than 45. Other men's backpacks were not much different from him either. Heavy.

We had a small climb by mountain tourism standards, 600 meters, but it was given to us with great difficulty. The road, at first straight, then begins to wag and with a slight rise goes around the entire southern end of Chuval. In some places it is blocked by rubble, in some places potholes make it unbearable, but it surely leads the traveler to a wonderful place - the "French hut".

According to unverified information, this title was given to the hut in honor of the abandoned quarry of the same name, located not far away. A certain Frenchman once hunted in these places either stones or animals, so the name appeared. From the hut you can see the top of the South Chuval, and the road climbs steeply up, in fact, to the ridge.

Along the way, we were surprised by some circumstances, such as the absence of ripe berries and cedar cones dropped by birds, as well as a teapot found near a French hut with a dozen large boiled roots of Rhodiola rosea. The ash was still hot - let's remember this circumstance for the future.

Above the hut, a wonderful view opens up back to the dense forests, to the bizarre Vishera bends, to the juicy grasses swaying measuredly in the wind ... By the way: summer this year was only partly present in the north of the region. In the last days of August, the development of nature corresponded to the beginning of July. There were no ripe berries; "Messerschmites" raged with might and main. St. John's wort and burnet began to bloom, cedar cones were in a state of resinous and milky ripeness, swamps, not having time to bloom with odorous algae, were fragrant. Summer is over here before it starts.

(view from Pisan stone)

Even higher, the rise gradually flattens out, and the road breaks into many paths that dotted the Chuval plateau. On the left, the main core of the ridge rises slightly, in the southern part it is gray and, when viewed from the forehead, resembles a gloomy fortress wall, smoothed by time. To the right, at a decent distance, real mountains rise, high, with distinct peaks, stubbornly tearing the passing clouds.

From left to right, their order is as follows: Tulymsky stone, almost in profile, the two main peaks practically merge; Isherim, a double peak is clearly visible; between them, low from such a distance, the scallop of Antstone; then Yalping, Oika-Chakur and Prayer. Closer to the right is the gloomy Pu-Tump, and a depression begins in the chain of mountains, marking the watershed of Vishera and Lozva, in the distance behind it are visible rounded white domes of mountains in the valley of the Kul River. To the right of the direction of movement is the last significant mountain - Martai, visible along its entire length from the northern fangs to the bastions of Kapkor-ne-Tumpa in the south. Against the background of Martai, the Chuval "fortresses" are visible - local heaps of huge stones among fields of silky grass and bushes of black-green heather.

However, one does not have to admire the beauties of distant prospects for a long time, because after a tiring climb one is drawn to rest, and comfortable overnight stays on Chuval lie on the Gundrikha River behind the rise crowning the middle of the ridge. It takes about 3 hours to reach it along the ridge, if you don’t stray among the junipers and willows on the lower plateaus, but don’t be too lazy right away and go to the very back, mossy, berry… just not this year. The plateau will gradually fall, then rise in three steps and wag to the left, describing an arc. From the focus of this arc, the Gundrich flows down, along which it is easy to find firewood and a tent site on the border of the forest. The day is over, the wind has died down and insects, oh, insects ... Sleep, sleep, tomorrow - to Capelin and to the mountains, to the mountains ...

(stone Pillars)

Chuval was covered with clouds. The cloud front descended to an altitude of about 650 m. It was a common thing, we were ready for this, we had a map, a compass and information about the local magnetic declination. In the cloud, the voice is muffled and blurred. The direction to the sound source is lost; if a whistle is heard, then it sounds immediately from everywhere, but step back 30 steps, and you will not hear the whistle. Visibility is from 20 to 100 meters, birch trees broken by the winds suddenly jump out of the gray-milky wall. Their bushes resemble tongues of flame scattered by a powerful wind, they either spread along the ground, or stubbornly rise up, so that in the next moment they will be crushed and extinguished. The gently sloping swamp champs monotonously with damp moss, filling the shoes with water from the outside, the boots from the inside. You go, you try to catch up with the muddy wall that runs away, and it, like the horizon, moves away, and another one approaches from behind - look, they will crush it ... So you move, as if in a box, under a cap that slides smoothly and silently, without touching the bushes and grasses, surrounding, enveloping...

Taking into account the declination, the azimuth of our course on the map was 30 degrees. Aim, move. We walked slowly, often dropping heavy backpacks and stretching our rumpled shoulders. As it should have been, the plateau rose a little, then formed an inflection point, from which, I remember, you need to take ten degrees to the east so as not to run into a steep outcrop that ends Chuval from the north. Have taken. Half an hour passed - the stream seems to be flowing to the north. Miracles - is it really a stream already in the Moyvinsky basin? It was planned to have lunch on the Moiva, and split up to move half of the group to the mountains, half to start rafting down the river. It was planned by the mountain group on the same day to pass half of the Volkhovochny Ridge. Plans were interrupted by sudden miracles.

Firstly, on this day, while leading the group, I twice made a mistake in the azimuth by 40 degrees and once by 20. Without praising myself much, I can assure everyone that this situation is very unlikely. We fell from Chuval into the Vels valley and got out of there for a long and difficult time, then wrote out arcs and paraboloids through the swamps and, completely exhausted by the windbreak and heavy load, went to Capelin when it was already getting dark, that is, after 21:00. The mountains to this day were objectively unattainable.

Secondly, a more unpleasant event happened that day. Volodya Zhuravlev, an experienced tourist, whose hands are used to holding any tool, and an ax too, cut his leg. An ax is a good friend on a hike. He will kindly help you cook food, warm up and dry things, protect you from four-legged intruders and generally help you get out of the most incredible situations. The ax is usually kind. If he is in a bad mood, if he is going to take a break from work, he will certainly warn you about it twice before treacherously slipping off the block of wood and piercing into the stone. Or in you - if he does not want to work at all. The ax did not warn Zhuravlev. He gently tore off a slanting piece of wood from the chock and silently severed the vein and artery on the instep of the foot. Blood splattered profusely through the cut boot.

It's good to have a medical specialist on the campaign! Better yet, two. The wound treatment operation in the absence of suture material, darkness and general fear and nervousness took Yuri Polosukhin, assisted by Lena Zentsova, less than 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, a pressure bandage was already applied and a tourniquet was removed from the artery. Volodya was born in a shirt - the blade entered the two-millimeter gap between the tendon and the nerve ending, in frightening proximity to the femoral artery. He bravely endured the operation under incomplete general anesthesia, and with honors and care was placed in a tent.

The situation with hitting the Prayer Stone was seriously complicated, since there were both "third" and "fourth".

All day it rained, then drizzle; if Chuval was deafly covered with clouds, then what can we say about the higher Volkhovochny and kilometer Yalping pass. As practice has shown, there was no tendency to enlightenment on this and the next 4 days. More serious than simple clouds was the complete unsuitability of Capelin for rafting. The channel is littered with stones, there is little water - and where does such a level come from in Vishera? The expedition leadership had to meet for advice. By the way: Simultaneously with us, the commission of the management of the reserve "Vishersky" was moving along Chuval to check the attitude of geologists of the Perm department "Geomap" to the environment - let's remember the hot ash in the French hut. They went out a day earlier than us; we overtook them somewhere on the ridge. The Commission was even less fortunate. Even a deep knowledge of their own reserve did not help - they generally swirled and safely descended into the valley of the Vels River, about 15 kilometers to the east, on which they lost three days and, unfortunately, fell behind us.

The decision was obvious and the only possible one - to put aside thoughts about continuing the path to miracles and go out, and who to take out, along the Moiva - to the people. The element cruelly approached the solution of the issue of our penetration into the holy places of the region. She used every means to lead us astray, to wear us down, to suppress all aspirations and desires, and to be sure, she dealt the last heavy blow. The elements cannot be resisted, and we decided to study it on a safer path.

Reference Information.

The Moiva River (Beaver Water, from Vogul) is the left tributary of the Vishera River. It originates in the swamps between the Pu-Tump and Volkhovochny Kamen ridges along with the Yuzhny Vels River, then goes around Volkhovochny from the south, turns north, runs along the entire Tulymsky Kamen, turns west behind Mount Brusya and flows into the Vishera between the mouths of the Niols and Lypya rivers .

Main tributaries: Deciduous (left), Volkhovochnaya and Malaya Capelin (right). From the point of view of a water tourist, it is divided into three parts: 1. From the source to the mouth of Deciduous. A section of slalom rafting on high water with a length of about 12 kilometers. It can be assessed in high water up to the 5th category of difficulty. We go on catamarans or kayaks. 2. From the mouth of Deciduous to the mouth of Malaya Capelin. A shallow stretch of 28 kilometers, dotted with rifts and small shivers. We pass on inflatable boats and, for the most part, are uncomplicated. There is a serious obstacle - the Sredne-Moivensky rapids (14 km from the mouth of Listvennaya). Four kilometers of low-water slalom section, the interval between the ridges of the rapids is 10-30 meters, the current speed in August is about 20 km/h. It ends with the threshold of the Bear, representing a high drain on a pouring boulder, along high water 4 class. In general, thresholds are rated 3 k.s. 3. From the mouth of the Malaya Capelin to the confluence with the Vishera. A fairly deep section 15 km long, complicated by islands with a non-trivial choice of bypass and rifts. In general, no more difficult than 2 class. Just before the confluence with the Vishera, there is a zigzag and pressure in a narrow channel to the left bank.

The next day, a day was announced for wound healing and general rest. Not everyone had a day - the leader and Polosukhin started escorting the ships down the river in order to lighten the group load the next day and at least leave Zhuravlev without a backpack. The wiring was not easy, but - who else can boast that they played boats with a five-meter 30-kilogram vessel! The channel was terribly littered - in three hours it was possible to divert the ships, in fact, to an insignificant distance.

In the evening there was an event - the birthday of Alisa Zatonskaya was celebrated. No elements interfered with the celebration, even the weather, oddly enough, did not let us down, it was not wet and not particularly windy. A delicious cake was eaten, born during the day, and everyone went to bed, looking forward to the coming day.

Zhuravlev became the hero of the day. With great difficulty, overcoming the pain, he reached the mooring place of the ships, but the attempt to float him again was unsuccessful - stones, cursed stones! He had to continue to walk and go through everything - swamps, windbreaks, painful ascents and descents, crossings. After the mouth of Deciduous, it was only possible to completely inflate the PSN and put some cargo into it. The river widened, taking in a tributary, but remained exceptionally shallow, and every now and then it was necessary to jump out of the kayak to guide it with empty hands over a vershok depth.

There is a geological base at the mouth of Listvennaya. The chief, a young hospitable woman, said that geologists were rafting along the Moiva in boats of the NL-800 type, but with difficulty, and the river, despite the rains, was somehow very shallow. She sincerely sympathized with us in our alloyed labors. The geologists had been waiting for the commission for three days and were warning us to stay away from it; we, being confident in the agreement with the administration of the reserve, neglected the advice. In vain, as it turned out later.

How to describe the path along the Moiva so that it does not seem monotonous to the reader? To do this, first, it would be nice to answer the age-old question - "why are you going to the mountains?" - for it is very difficult for a person far from traveling to understand what a charm it is to pace the path all day, or scree, or windbreaks, or, sitting on the frame of a kayak, peer intently at the approaching lambs - will it blow? will it turn over? Will I slip through, or will I have to jump out and run alongside? In our time of general preoccupation with material matters, it has become even more difficult to interest people in communication with nature, spiritual rest from the mud of civilization in the mud of forests and mountains, this was shown, in particular, by the futile search for sponsors. Everyone answers this basic question of tourism in their own way, but they always find pleasure unknown to the majority of society. I won't waste time detailing the long journey, as the above has said enough to give me an idea of ​​it.

During the day, the mighty ridge, subject from the point of view of the theory of relativity to our movement, obediently turns first one side, then the other; the panorama of peaks and passes changes; the forest rushes in memories - not a pillar of trees, but a living, untouched forest, inspiring with one breath for exploits.

The rapids began in the evening, suddenly, without a warning roar and noise - he was absorbed by small rifts without a trace. First, large scatterings of red stones ran along the shore, then the channel rapidly narrowed, the depth increased, and the river rushed to the stone blockages. The low water level turned out to be a good thing for the kayak. In the mesh of frequent boulders, you don’t have time not only to maneuver between two ridges, but simply to move the oar forward to carry over the next pouring, and you regularly land on each next suitable stone. I calmly got up on it, chose a course to the next landing, pushed the kayak forward, when bow, when stern forward, and jumped into it to get over the next whirlpool.

The bottom of the kayak desperately cracked, and finally caught up deadly stuck in the middle of the river PSN. After a short discussion, it was decided, in view of the near end of daylight hours, the need to glue the ships after such a serious test and complete ignorance of the further duration of the rapids, to spend the night in an emergency. From the point of view of the achievement of the Molebnaya, there was another result of this day. If we had not been stuck on the rapids, having lost one more day to the two days of the already existing backlog, there would have been an ephemeral opportunity from the mouth of the Little Capelin to try to climb at least to Homgi Loch E and look at the mountain in the clouds. Now that possibility is gone. There was very little water above the rapids, too little even for the normal passage of a kayak - a little more, and her rubber skin would have remained on the stones. Only a more or less empty PSN with two people could pass.

In the morning the walking group went to the mouth of Malaya Capelin. It often rained, Tulym was densely covered with low clouds. Harmful coastal bushes accumulated liters of moisture for a long time in order to douse passers-by with them, stones slid under tired feet, grass tightly entangled shoes. There was a complete set of pleasures of hiking. PSN, hissing after the rapids with all the holes unplanned from birth, walked on a constant swap according to a familiar algorithm: swam - pushed - ran, swam - pushed - ran ...

The mouth of Malaya Capelin was reached late in the evening. It seemed to us that for this day our adventures were over, we sat in the fine rain, no longer paying attention to it, and waited for dinner. However, fate has prepared another test for us. In the soothing noise of the river, pebbles creaked under the boots, quick steps were heard, and on our island of comfort and prosperity appeared that same commission under the leadership of N. Dolganov, which we overtook at Chuval and which, as it turned out, was chasing the disturbers of the reserve’s peace from the very mouth of Deciduous - behind us. Information about an agreement with the director of the reserve and a letter to him had no effect, papers with the inscription "Act" rustled in the air and there was a smell of ozone. The act was drawn up despite everyone's surprise.

The fact is that in 90% of the reserves of the former USSR there are, of course, certain restrictions on the admission of tourists there. Everywhere you need to have properly executed travel documents. Campfires are not allowed in the Elbrus region. In Denezhkin Stone, of course, it is impossible to cut down living trees and so on. As it turned out, it was impossible to enter the Vishersky Reserve at all and in principle. You can pay and go fishing for 5 days on Vishera below Lypya, and as the chairman of the regional committee for nature protection Novikova loudly explained several times, "here we do what we want, we do." And in the mountains - in the mountains, no, you can’t. Are you lighting a fire here? crushed herbs? When do they wake up after you?

I wonder how the desire of a certain rather narrow circle of people from the village of Vaya to close the most beautiful corner of the region, larger than half the size of Belgium, is consistent with the Basic Law? We were informed that sometime in the future the issue would be resolved ... Fortunately for us, the commission was waiting for dinner at the base of the geologists being checked, six kilometers downstream. The commission was in a hurry for dinner, and soon departed. The rain after their departure charged with might and main and poured all night and half of the next day.

We have already passed, partly sailed, the Crane Creek, the last noticeable tributary of the Capelin, talked with geologists at the same base, and he kept walking and walking. Finally, the river responded to the water falling from the sky and literally before our eyes began to inflate with black water under the overcast clouds! Our goal was a hut at the mouth of the Capillary, which geologists told about, we dreamed of one dry night and struggled to get to the hut in time. We looked at the river, mentally crossed the dilapidated PSN and delivered a verdict: we will all sit down. This is how the actual rafting part of our expedition began.

The river carried quickly. There was a lot of water, the water seethed on the rifts, gnawed at the shivers and raised high burnuses over individual stones. The rain stopped, as if it was just waiting for unreasonable people to stop trampling on the shores so zealously guarded. The hut was approaching, and the kayak with the newlyweds impatiently pulled ahead of the slow PSN - to burn a fire, cook dinner, settle in the hut. Turn. Island - where to bypass it? Right, where is it? Left, where wide and small? Roll - where is the passage through it, hidden by dark faithful lambs? White, they warn that they are stranded under them, a sparkling golden bottom threatens to break the bottom. We must look for a deep place - but there is none! And white treacherous splashes beat across the entire width of the river! And all that remains is to grit your teeth in anticipation of the unbearable gnashing of stones on worn rubber, tense up in anticipation of a hasty jump out and dream - carry it, carry it ...

Another twist. Vishera is very close, a tall wooded scallop on its right bank has long been visible. Suddenly, a shot. Second. Hunters, I thought, really - in our hut? Last turn. The pressure began, we energetically began to work with oars and, leaving the pressure, we were surprised to see familiar faces and boats on the shore near the hut. Commission. Probably, the poacher who hunted in the reserve will be punished? ..

Vishera.

How much tranquility you see in the majestic waters of Vishera, breaking out into their expanse from the turmoil of Moivna rifts and shoals! The mighty river slowly, but quickly, rolls dark waters, washing away the banks, rustling with rare coastal shivers and calming, calming ... We were not in the mood for peace: on the day we went to Vishera, two participants had to go to work, the rest of the time also began to run out, and we hurried, hurried with all their might.

The lodging for the night seemed an infinitesimal instant; watched with regret the countless bursts of delicious grayling, which cannot be caught without paying the management of the reserve. The rowers of the raft did not stop for a minute, pushing the clumsy ship forward. It was easier for the kayak, it easily cut through the water and was constantly carried forward - to prepare dinner or a place to sleep.

On one of these breaks, inspired by the statement of the best connoisseur of the river that high water had closed the rapids, and they were already left behind, her crew began to observe strange things. At first, the river seemed to flow upwards - the illusion of a slight rise was complete. Then, on the approach to the next sharp turn, a low strange rumble began to be heard ...

Reference Information.

Vishera rapids consist of 7 cascades, which are divided into three groups. 1. The first cascade: begins immediately after a sharp turn of the river to the right, has further pressure to the right bank. 2. Second, third and fourth stages. All are straight. 3. Fifth, sixth and seventh cascades. The fifth has a clamp to the left bank. The distance between the 5th and 6th cascades is significant, it creates a relaxing impression that the rapids are over. Thresholds are rated 3 k.s. for kayaks in any water and 3 k.s. for inflatable ships in high water.

(Vishera mouth - reservoir)

Threshold! The dream of a tourist waterman, exhausted by calm water, passionately looking for individual lambs on the smooth surface of the river in order to bravely rush to them and get his portion of spray in his flushed face. The threshold can be bypassed, it can be surrounded, but where can you find a tourist who agrees to this!

The kayak passed through all the cascades at a cost of two pouring stones that scratched the bottom, wet windbreakers and two buckets of water in the vessel. PSN gurgled on the threshold calmly and without straining. At the initiative of his commanders, before the last cascade, he turned stern forward and, to the loud shouts of an enthusiastic team, passed him backwards. Passing the rapids gave a lot of pleasure to all those who participated.

Actually, the technically difficult part of the campaign was left behind. There were still many events ahead and a lot of work put into the speedy achievement of the village of Vai and the desired car home, there was a 60-kilometer day trip unique for the PSNA, there were people - good and not very ... With the permission of the reader, I will leave this part of the trip without a description, so that rather move on to a discussion of the results of the trip. I will only note that we met much more good people on our way and I convey our general gratitude to the supply manager of the village of Vels, Mikhail Grigorievich, who sheltered us for the night in the hostel, and to the heroic UAZ driver from Solikamsk, whose name we don’t even know, who brought us from Vai late at night straight to the Solikamsk railway station. It's nice to meet kind, helpful people.

So, what have we achieved after spending twelve days in the mountains and on the rivers of the Northern Urals? What have we learned from the intricacies of windbreaks and labyrinths of rapids?

Our first goal, which gave us the status of a UFO expedition, strictly speaking, remained unfulfilled. We were not on Molebnaya Mountain and did not approach it closer than 15 kilometers. But the question is - can the anomalous zone have clearly defined boundaries? Can its influence be manifested only on a patch with a diameter of 2-3 km? What held us by the legs, in a figurative sense, of course, while in our plans the achievement of the Molebnaya was in the first place - was it only our degree of professional suitability? For some reason, the feeling of artificially slowing us down with something appeared simultaneously in half of the group at once and caused some discomfort. After it was finally decided to postpone the visit to the mountain until better times, no troubles happened, except for a visit to the commission, which, by the way, proved to us all evening that better times should not be counted on. Questions remain open.

The rest of the goals have actually been achieved. We passed the Moiva and Vishera in its most beautiful and interesting places, having found out that in August it is better to move along the Moiva on an all-terrain vehicle, and not on ships. We visited Chuval and spent the whole evening enjoying the age-old peace reigning there. We passed both the Middle Moivensky and Vishera rapids. The city route-qualification commission assessed the hike as a pedestrian-water 2nd category of difficulty. We have tasted the full range of difficulties both on foot and on water trips - what could be better than the consciousness of our own superiority over difficulties?

The area of ​​the upper reaches of the Vishera and its tributaries is magnificent. I think many people do not even suspect that there is a region where you can approach a partridge for three meters, where it is crowded from the grayling on the rivers, where ... It is impossible to enumerate everything - you need to visit there. Unless, of course, the directorate of the reserve does not mind, and does not draw up an act against you ...

Fishing on the Vishera River

Fishing on Vishera is a great place to fish. Yes, it may not be the longest and deepest river, but an experienced angler can boast of an excellent catch with a minimum of equipment. This river is very capricious: in the upper reaches it is winding, in the lower reaches it is flat. During the night, the water level in the river can rise by a meter. It flows in a picturesque place that pleases the eye of the fisherman.

Fishing on Vishera Spinning on Vishera River Vishera - fishing

As a rule, grayling and taimen live here from fish. Local residents classify the rest of the fish as litter, or "garbage". Even pike and burbot made this list.

Grayling is a large fish. Sometimes you can catch grayling weighing up to 3 kg. Sometimes up to 5, but this is very rare. Fishing for taimen is now suspended, as it has been recognized as an endangered species. Due to its huge size - up to 25 kg, there was a lot of pressure on this type of fish. Catching taimen is often compared to hunting, and is often referred to as "river tiger" due to its impressive size and taste preferences. To drag the taimen to the car, either a gun or an ax was required.

Fishing on Vishera can become memorable for those who do not aim to catch a full bucket of fish, but for those who value unity with nature.

If we talk about the time of fishing, then it is better to come here in the summer - from about mid-August to the end of September. Grayling at this time is stocking up on fat for the winter, and you can catch a valuable catch. If you are interested in trophies, then you should go to Vishera at the end of autumn. The number of tourists is getting much smaller. But you should not forget about warm clothes, as in autumn it is quite cool here in the evening. Many mistakenly assume that a good grayling fishing is the time when the ice melts. This is a wrong opinion. The water level in the river rises, the water becomes more turbid, and fishing can be difficult. In addition, after hibernation, the grayling had enough time to get enough. Fishing before June usually won't do much for you. You can catch grayling with everything: float rods, live worms, spinning. The choice is large.

Grayling fishing on Vishera takes place in different places in different seasons. In winter, this type of fish can be found in wintering pits, in autumn on reaches, and in summer and spring on various rifts, behind large stones.

If you ask, everyone will say, I won’t reveal a special secret, that there is no sweeter and more beautiful landscape than on Vishera in the world. A.A. Grebenkin

Rafting on the northern beauty - diamond Vishera is especially popular.

Vishera- one of the largest rivers of the Urals. At the confluence, even the Kama is inferior to it in terms of water content. The name "Vishera" is carried by four rivers in the north of the European part of Russia. It seems that the hydronym "Vishera" originated in the Volkhov basin. It is based on the Old Russian ethnonym "all". The name of the Volkhov Vishera consists of "all" and "sara". The Novgorodians changed "All Sarah" to "Vishera".

Detailed description of the river- river Vishera | Vishera river (Upper course) | Vishera river (Middle course) | Vishera River (Lower)

A feature of the modern Krasnovishersky district is that it is located on the ancient border of the settlement of two peoples - Komi-Permyaks and Mansi. The city of Krasnovishersk itself is called the capital of diamonds, gold, timber industry and the mecca of northern tourism.

On the way to the rafting you will visit (*if there is in the program). Somewhere here is the legendary "Golden Woman", brought many hundreds of years ago from India and became the guardian of the Urals. The power of the Stone will help you change your life for the better. The height of the Pomyanenny is 780 meters.

The sanctuary of ancient civilizations Stone Pisany stretches along the Vishera for 2 km. 300 ancient drawings (5-6 century BC) inscribed in an amazingly fabulous way at different heights, on a vertical rock, make up an ancient map of the universe. Arrowheads, amulets, bone plaques, drilled fangs and claws, flint tools, copper plaques, a silver plate with scenes of hunting and fishing were found in the crevices and caves of "Pisany". The rock is replete with marine fossils.

And Climbing Vetlan Stone adds 2-3 years of active, creative, rich life to your life expectancy.

The Ural Stones, rocks, mountains, caves are called places of "POWER", described in Sergey Alekseev's novels "Treasures of the Valkyries". No wonder Hitler with his hordes was eager to reach the Urals.

From Vishera you always come back somehow renewed, joyful, full of strength and impressions. And, most importantly, with plans for a return...

In 1995, the work of local historian I.A. was published in the newspaper Krasnaya Vishera. Neklyudov "The Vishera River. A Guide for Tourists and Sightseers, prepared for printing, but not published ... in 1935. And it is precisely in this that the true value of the essay material brought to your attention (excerpts from this work).

“Vishera is the most charming river of the Kama region and the Urals. What can compare with the pristine beauty of Vishera! Perhaps only Chusovaya, but it is only a synopsis, a miniature sketch of Vishera.

(Evgeny Permyak "Dolgovsky master")

“... The Vishera River is one of the significant tributaries of the Kama, flowing into it from the left side. The name - Vishera - is of Permian origin, in Russian it means "clear water". In addition to our Vishera, there are also rivers of this name that flow into the Vychegda and the Volkhov. In the Cherdynsky district there is a river Visherka, a tributary of the Kolva. The total length of Vishera is 455 kilometers. It is a mountainous, wild and peculiar river. It originates in the northeastern, mountainous part of the region with two sources - Bolshaya and Malaya Vishera.

... Vishera feeds a large number of tributaries ... The most significant tributary of the Vishera is the river. Kolva, 470 kilometers long ... Other significant tributaries are: Yazva - 275 km, Vels - 92 km, Uls - 100 km.

According to the nature of the channel and banks, Vishera can be divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. The upper part is considered from the sources to the mouth of the Uls; the middle one - from the mouth of the Uls to the mouth of the Kolva, and the lower one - the rest of the river.

Upper part of Vishera has a length of 185 kilometers. Here the river flows from north to south. This part is the most mountainous, as it crosses the marks of the Tulymsky stone, goes around the spurs of Kuryksar and Chuval. ... In those places where the river is compressed by the mountains approaching it, it takes on a rapid rapid character. Encountering an obstacle, the river noisily seeks to break out of the gorge. Water with foam jumps over the stones. The roar of the river in the rapids is heard for a kilometer and a half. It is so powerful that it drowns out the voice of a person. There are also noisy rapids in the middle part of Vishera. The largest threshold in the upper part of the river is Vishera, located 9 kilometers above the mouth of the Lypya. This threshold consists of 5 separate rapids separated from each other by small stretches. In some places, in the rapids, the river falls in cascades, overflowing over stones blocking the channel, and therefore boating here is fraught with some difficulties. Hunters who come here from the lower reaches of the river to hunt and fish do not dare to go down the river in boats in the spring, but make rafts on which they pass the rapids.

The bottom of the river in the middle and upper parts of the Vishera is covered with gravel, called "grass" by the local population. In some places, the riverbed is cluttered with stones that have fallen from the mountains. It is interesting to look at the foaming waves of the river in the rapids somewhere from the shore, from the cliff. The water rushes so fast that even dizzy. Here the water is crystal clear. This is explained by the fact that the tributaries of the Vishera are of spring origin. The springs mostly run out of the crevices of the mountains with icy water, due to which the water does not heat up well even on hot July days. In places, springs originate high above the level of the river and, striving for it, form noisy waterfalls with splashes of foam. In the upper and middle parts of Vishera, the water is so transparent that at a depth of 2-3 meters all the pebbles, algae, fish are perfectly visible ...

The average speed of the current in the upper part into the low-water (summer) water is 8 kilometers, in the spring up to 11 kilometers. The fall of the river in the section from Chuval to Ust-Uls in the distance61 kilometersis 41.5 meters. At 1 kilometer of the river, the parishthere is a drop of 68 cm.

In the upper part of the river there are 28 riffles, that is, small and fast places. The depth of these rifts during the low-water period reaches from 36 cm to 1 meter.

In all parts of Vishera it has a tortuous character. This is especially noticeable in the middle and lower parts of the river. There are meanders up to 20 kilometers, while in a narrow place the distance between the channels is 400 - 500 meters.

In the upper part of the Vishera flows like in a gorge, between the mountains.

In places, the mountains descend to the river in gentle, rounded slopes covered with forest. Sometimes, in the middle of the forest, a rock, bare as a wall, will appear. In places, the rocks take on the bizarre shape of fairy-tale castles.

Sometimes rocks rise from the forest as stone towers, built of stones piled on top of each other - sandstone or conglomerate. Sometimes the rocks take on a bizarre shape of a "mushroom" with a huge hat - a stone at the top. Looking at these towers and "mushrooms" from below, it seems that the stones hold on to each other very poorly, and it would seem that there is enough human strength to throw them down. But the towers are strong. Only water and wind through the centuries will be able to destroy these structures of nature.

In some places, the mountains approach the river with bare rocks, sheerly descending to the river. These rocks are so well built that it seems as if they were put together by human hands, with the help of a ruler and a compass. The tops of low cliffs are always covered with a comb of coniferous forest. High cliffs are often bare, covered only with mosses and lichens. If you look at such a rock from the water, then the hat falls off the head. From the top of such a rock, a delightful view of the surroundings opens up: Vishera’s silver ribbon curls under your feet, the mountains of the Ural Range rise from all sides. The nearby mountains are visible either in the form of verdant caps covered with forest, or gray rocks heaped on top of each other.

Mountains far from the view are seen on the horizon as barely visible bluish silhouettes.

It is felt that here is a gray-haired Ural. Feel the harshness of nature. On the one hand, the picture is harsh, but on the other, it is original, inimitable, charming ... Although the Urals are wild, they have their own charm, their own peculiar beauty.

If a tourist gets to the upper reaches of the Vishera, to the center of the VisheraUral and will experience a number of difficulties, then he will be more than rewardedpleased with the impression received from the paintings of the Urals.

The upper part of Vishera is the least populated, almost deserted. After the closure of the Kutimsky and Velsinsky factories, there were almost no settlements here.

Only occasionally, among the dense forest, could be seen the smoke-filled hut of a hunter-fisherman, with a rising column of smoke from a fire. The silence here was deathly, broken only by the many-voiced cries of the forest beast and solitary shots ...

Boats are the only means of communication here. There are no roads here. The mountainous terrain interferes with the construction of dirt roads. In winter, the roads are arranged on the ice of the river. To drive along the Vishera, special boats "Visherki" are used. Professor Duparc, who came to study the Vishera region, called Vishera boats "pies", since they are very similar to Indian pies.

Vishera boats are made from a single aspen trunk. An aspen stump of the required size is hollowed out with a trough, filled with water, steamed over a fire and expanded to the required size. A narrow plank is nailed to the edges of the finished boat on both sides and the boat is ready. It takes a special skill to make these boats. Their length is up to 5-6 meters, width 70-100 centimeters. The bottom of the boats is made wide, flat. Such a boat lifts 6-8 people, up to 25-30 pounds of cargo. What is especially remarkable about this boat is that it sits very shallowly and slides easily over the surface... Visherka boats are used for driving only in the upper and middle parts of the river. In the lower part of the Vishera, where the current is slower, they ride ordinary Kama boats.

There are many beautiful rocks in the upper part of the river. On the right bank are: Birch, Perforated, Yolksky stones, white mosses. On the left bank - stones (rocks): Kuryksar, Tulymsky, Propaschensky, Prokofevsky, Dunkin stone, Chuval, Yubryshka and etc.

Descending from the sources down the river, you will meet on the right bank birch stone. This stone starts below the Vishera stone and goes in a stone ridge in a southwestern direction. The ridge stretches for about 100 kilometers, now approaching Vishera, then moving away from it. A birch ridge against the mouth of the Vels river approaches the banks of the Vishera, forming pillar-like ledges called “White Mosses”.

birch stone serves as a watershed between the tributaries of the Vishera and Kolva. The tributaries of the Vishera originate in this stone: Lypya, Panikha, Bannaya, Dyrovatikha, Malaya Bannaya, Bolshaya and Malaya Vai, Volim, Pysanka, Bolshaya and Malaya Shelyuga, Shchugor, Govorukha, Romanikha. ... The northern part of the Birch Stone near the mouth of the Lypya River has a height of 712 meters above sea level.

perforated stone is not of great interest. It is located on the right bank of the Vishera between the mouths of the rivers: Banna and Dyrovatikha. perforated stone consists of grayish-white fine-grained dolomite. Your name perforated stone received from the fact that there are cracks in the stone.

Of the stones located on the left bank of the Vishera, first of all, it is necessary to note the mountain Kuroksar.

She is against birch stone and is located along the Vishera and its tributary, the Kuroksarka. Kuroksar approaches the river with wall-like rocks hanging over the river. In the northeastern part, the stone adjoins the Deciduous Stone. Its height is 830 meters. It is composed of crystalline schists.

Next, it should be noted Tulymsky stone. The stone stands in a southerly direction and is called the Deciduous Stone. Tulymsky stone is a mountain range that makes up the foothills of the Urals. The stone is a watershed between the Vishera and its tributary Capelin. The Tulymsky ridge begins at the confluence of the Capelin with the Vishera (Brusya rock) and stretches in a southerly direction, ending with the Listvennichny stone. A spur extends from the Larch Stone, resting against Vishera - Kuroksar. The height of the Tulymsky stone is 1348 meters.

Below Kuroksar on the left bank of the Vishera stretches a huge mountain called Chuvalsky stone.

In the south, this stone is washed by the Chuval River, which flows into the Vishera. The absolute height of the Chuvalsky stone, according to Fedorov, is 872 meters. This stone was widely known both in the USSR and abroad for its vast deposits of magnetic iron ore.

Below Chuval on the left bank stretches The Lost Stone. The sequel to The Lost Stone is Yubryshkin stone. from the west Yu6ryshkin stone it is washed by the Vishera, from the south and west by the Vels and the tributaries of the Vishera. The absolute height of the stone above sea level is 892 meters.

... Near the mouth of the Vels in Yubryshka there is a cave 206 meters long.

Researcher Vishera Beldytsky describes his impressions when examining the cave in 1899:

“The ceiling, sazhens in 4 heights, is all strewn with crystals of snow, which melted and fell to the floor, where it froze again, and huge stalactites of ice formed. The whole floor was also covered with wet ice, so it was dangerous to walk. The cave deepened lower, and we went further. The vaults kept rising, and the corridor became wider. There was no further dampness, and the floor was all littered with fragments of stones and mostly fine limestone. Having reached the middle of the cave, we involuntarily admired the spectacle that presented itself: the ceiling in the form of a dome went far up; in some places stone pillars descended to the very ground; the floor was clean and dry. The whole setting was reminiscent of a medieval Gothic temple. The spectacle took on an even greater effect when we lit the torches. Thousands of lights sparkled in the stalactites of the ceiling. Further, the cave rose higher, and we soon reached its end, here a small room with a low ceiling was formed, completely dotted with Russian and French surnames of the tourists who were here.

In addition, it should be noted that during factory excavation near the mouth of the cave, chain mail and a helmet were found, probably from those times when Vishera was still the only way to communicate between Moscow and Siberia ... Five - six years ago, a glacier was built at the mouth of the cave for food storage forest area.

The upper reaches of the Vishera are the place where the most minerals occur, and where the iron-smelting industry was born in the past.

Middle part of Vishera located from the mouth of the Uls (village Ust-Uls) to the mouth of the Kolva. The total length of the middle current is 203 kilometers. If initially the Vishera flows from north to south, then from Ust-Uls it turns to the southwest. Between the mouth of the Uls and the mouth of the Yazva, at a distance of 170 kilometers, the nature of the channel is the same as in the upper part of the Vishera. The bed of the river is covered with gravel. The water here is clear, as in the upper part of the river. Standing on the shore, you can perfectly see the whole bottom, although the depth is 1.5-2 meters. Rifts alternate with reaches, which are longer here than in the upper reaches. The section of Vishera from Ust-Uls to the village of Pisana, for 51 kilometers, is the most difficult for navigation in terms of the number of riffles with a fast current and the number of pitfalls. The speed of the current in the rifts is much faster than in the reaches. In the reaches, the current is slower and the channel is deeper. In this section, the river has a fall of 36 meters: 72 centimeters of fall fall on 1 kilometer of the river.

From the village of Pisana to Krasnovishersk, the river has a fall of 30 meters: for 1 kilometer of the river there are 35 centimeters of fall. From Krasnovishersk to the mouth of the Kolva River at a distance of 72 kilometers, Vishera has a fall of 5 meters, that is, 7 centimeters per 1 kilometer of the river.

...Thus, the upper part of the middle reaches of the Vishera is located among the mountainous shores. On the right bank of the river below Ust-Ulsa there are stones: Golden, Goloskovsky Churok, Written, Pillars, Kolchimsky, Loquacious, Cedar and etc.

The left bank, however, is also mountainous, but there are fewer stones here. On the left bank below Ust-Ulsa there are stones: Gostinovsky, Loose, Vetlyansky and etc.

The rest of the Vishera coast has a hilly character, covered with forest. Tourists will enjoy a boat trip down the river from Ust-Uls to Krasnovishersk. The boat rushes downstream at a speed of 7-8 kilometers per hour. Views change every minute. Either these are hills with birch groves running down to the river, or a bare rock will stretch out like a fortress wall rising above the river. If there is a rift near these rocks, then there are cases when boats, barges, and rafts are thrown onto the coastal stones with a beating stream of the current. One must have great skill in order to take the ship or raft away from the stone and direct it in the right direction. Underwater rocks and stones are especially dangerous. True, the riverbed has now been improved: most of the pitfalls, rocks have been blown up, “karchi” (stumps) have been removed from the bottom of the river, but, nevertheless, into the large upper water, when the flow speed increases, the descent on ships down the river from the mouth Ulsa is not without danger.

... In the middle part of Vishera, below Ust-Uls, to Krasnovishersk, the following stones are the most picturesque and significant:

Goloskovsky Churok- represents a low outcrop (up to 11 meters) of layers of dark, dense, smelly, in places siliceous limestone containing organic remains of fossils. Here the Vishera changes its southern course and turns sharply to the southwest.

1.5 kilometers below Goloskovsky Churok on the left bank is Gostinovsky stone. This stone starts a little below the mouth of the Malaya Vaya River and goes along the river bank in a long, wall-like cliff. The mass of the cliff consists of dark gray dense limestone. Professor Krotov says that the Gostinovsky stone should be considered a continuation of the Goloskovsky Churok.

On the left bank, near the mouth of the Zolotikha and Yabruska rivers, a group of rocky cliffs protrudes, called Golden Scallops. These cliffs are composed of reddish quartz sandstone.

Rocks Golden Combs serve as a continuation 3gold stone located between the watersheds of the Zolotikha, Yabruska, Yazva and Uls rivers. The Golden Stone is a Ural mountain range located in the meridional direction. According to popular belief in golden stone there are deposits of gold, from which the mountain supposedly got its name. According to another version, Chud treasures are hidden in the mountain, guarded by evil spirits. According to the third option, it is believed that the golden stone got its name due to the fact that yellow lichens covering the stone at sunset give the stone a golden sheen. The peaks of the mountain are rocky.

On the left bank of the Vishera, 3.5 kilometers above Akchim, there is moss stone.

The upper layer of the stone consists of dense, grayish-white limestone, and the lower one is made of dark thin-layered limestone with organic remains of marine fauna.

There is a cave in the stone, located not high above the level of the river, the walls of which, says Professor Krotov, have: “figured inscriptions made, similar in type to the inscriptions on the Pisan stone of the Vishera River, the inscriptions on the rocks of Lake Onega, on the banks of the Tom and in many places on rocky shores of the Yenisei and in the Minusinsk region ... ". All figures are painted on the vaults of the cave with red paint.

On the right bank of the Vishera, 1 km below moss stone located Zhabkin stone. It is composed of thin layers of grayish-white limestone.

It is located on the right bank of the Vishera, 6 kilometers below the village of Akchim. The Pysanka River, which flows into the Vishera, divides the stone into two parts. The lower part stretches along the banks of the Vishera for 2 kilometers and is called Belousovskaya, it is a sheer cliff up to 12 meters high. The stone is composed of clear-layered limestone, rich in silicon, which is either in the form of concretions or in the form of interlayers. The rock is rich in fossil remains of marine fauna. The written stone got its name from the images painted on it with red paint: a deer, a bear, a fox and other animals. The images above the water are so high that even in the biggest water you can’t reach the lowest drawings with your hand.

There are many depressions in the cliff, one of which is the mouth of a vast cave, which can only be reached from the top of the mountain by a rope.

In the same lower part of the stone there is a second cave up to 60 meters long, but its mouth is covered with sand.

At the end of this cave there is a room with a domed entrance.

The next stone worthy of attention is loose stone.

It is located on the left bank of the Vishera, above and below the village of the same name. The height of the stone reaches 80-90 meters above the river level. The stone is distinguished by its design, as it consists of relief-outlining layers of stone, going in an arcuate manner. The geologist Hoffman found similarities between the layers developed here and the Pechora layers of pepper sandstone. Imprints of plant fossils are very poorly visible here.

11 kilometers below the village of Sypuchi on the right bank of the Vishera is stone Pillars. This name was given to several rocks located along the river bank, consisting of outcrops of the upper mountain limestone. Rocks rise perpendicularly above the river, and in some places even hang over it. Height - rocks reaches 50 meters. In the mass of stone there are remains of fossils of the organic world.

The stone is composed of dark slate clay with veins of calcareous spar, conglomerate, pepper sandstone and dark clayey flagstone. The stone got its name from the fact that the river flows here with great noise along the rocky border.

Above the stone, the river Govoruha flows into the Vishera. The stone comes out of the water completely vertically, reaching a height of 60 meters. In some places it is interrupted by hollows cutting through it.

Downstream, the stone gradually descends, finally disappearing from Talkative. Masses of stone are picturesquely reflected in the river. Talking Stone in addition to its beauty, it is remarkable in that it conveys an echo very well, thanks to which not only the words spoken on the river are heard, but even individual shades of sound. There are sections on the river where the echo is repeated several times with gradually receding and weakening sounds. The stone is composed of upper mountain limestone, thin-layered, gray in color, rich in nodules and dark brown interlayers. The organic remains are the same in different layers of the stone. Near the Talkative river has a muddy character with a channel depth of up to 5-6 meters.

The next remarkable rock is Vetlyansky stone - Vetlan.

This stone is located on the left bank of the Vishera, 5 kilometers above the village of Mitrakova. Vetlyansky stone stretches like a wall-like rock at a distance of 1 kilometer.

The stone is separated from the river by a copse. The stone consists of layers of white, dense below and raw siliceous limestone above, with a large number of fossils. The upper part of the stone (along the river) is lower and reaches a height of 70-80 meters. In terms of its petrographic and paleontological properties, the nature of the Vetlyansky stone is similar to the Talkative and Cedar stones. In clear, sunny weather, the Vetlyansky stone is very clearly visible from the Polyudov stone.

Polyudov Ridge is located 10 kilometers from Krasnovishersk on the right bank. From the shore of Vishera (village Bahari) the top of the mountain Polyuda is located 7 kilometers.

From the Vishera River Polyudov stone visible in the form of a domed cap, covered with forest. Polyudov's stone is also clearly visible from Cherdyn. It stretches in a northwestern direction and rests on the Kolva River, leaving outcrops known as stones - Vetlan, Divy and Fighter. Polyudov ridge is a continuation of the Pomyanenny ridge, located between the watersheds of the Vishera and Yazva rivers.

Climbing to the top of the mountain Polyud not difficult. There are two roads for the ascent: one from the village of Bahari (from the east), the other from the village of Oralovo (for ascent from the west). From both points to the top of the mountain 7 kilometers. If you want to the top Polyuda you can ride a horse.

The top of the mountain is a rocky area, cluttered with boulders along the edges. In the center of the site, a hut and a tower for observing forest fires were built (now there is a repeater on the mountain, ED.). From the site of Mount Polyuda, a beautiful view of the surroundings opens up. On the east side, you see the silvery ribbon of Vishera, meandering through the thicket of the forest. Soft in a gentle blue haze; the foothills of the Urals rise in silhouette in the distance - the stones of Kvarkush, Golden, Pomyanenny, Talkative, etc. Nearby, in the east, the Vetlyansky stone is visible, stretching like a fortress wall along the banks of the Vishera. In the west, a narrow ribbon of the Kolva River is barely visible. You can see the city of Cherdyn, the nearest villages. Krasnovishersk is visible in the southeast...

Polyudov stone surrounds a dark green carpet of forests, with light green spots of meadow glades, swamps. The view is amazing. The area is visible within a radius of at least 50-70 kilometers. Height Polyuda above sea level 515 meters. Masses of stone are composed of quartz sandstone and conglomerate. The local population uses the stone from Poljud to make millstones for water mills.

With name Polyudov stone many legends are associated. Folk fantasy poeticized Poljud and gave him life. N.I. Beldytsky, in his essays on the Vishera region, recorded a legend about a stone that sheds light on its past. This legend reads as follows: “For a long time, under the tsars, the Chud people owned the region, who did not have dwellings, but lived in caves. Then the Russians appeared, and they began a very cruel war with the Chud. But there were many Chuds, but few Russians. The heroes came to the aid of the Russians. The names of two heroes remained in the memory of the Vishera residents - Poljuda and Peli. Each of them lived alone, the first lived on a stone of the same name - Polyud, and the other on Kvarkush, and according to other versions on the Kolchimsky stone. The heroes led the life of hunters, and Pelya was considered the best. For the services of the Russians, the tsar summoned Pelya, but did not know what to reward, since Pelya did not want to take any gold, silver, or precious stones. At the request of the king - what does Pel want, the latter asked for silk nets to catch sables and martens. Peli's desire was satisfied, and he received silk nets for his trade, with the help of which he began to get a lot of all sorts of furs, but more than that, to shoot elks and bears from his bow. For such well-being of Peli, there was an envious person who planned to destroy the hero - this is Lesnoy. But Lesnoy cannot fight the hero. The hero had one foot 7 quarters (more than a meter). Throwing a hundred-pound stone for ten kilometers was fun for the hero. (According to another version, the bogatyrs from Poljud to Kolchim and back were thrown with clubs.) With such power, Peli Lesnoy embarked on a trick. Once Lesnoy asks Peli: “You, Pelya, how do you sleep?”. The bogatyr realized what was the matter, but did not show that he had penetrated the cunning plan of Lesnoy, and good-naturedly answered him: “I’m sleeping, so smoke comes out of my mouth, and you, Leshy, how do you sleep?”. “When I sleep, the needles fall from the trees,” Leshy replied. After the conversation, Pelya and Leshy found night on one of their walks, they made a “nadya” and lay down to sleep next to her. Goblin soon fell asleep and began to snore, the needles from the trees fell from this snoring. At that time, Pelya was awake, got up, put a log on the place where he lay and covered it with his shabur (clothing), and placed a smoking firebrand near the head. Having arranged his double, he disappeared behind a large pine tree, waiting for what would happen next. Goblin woke up, looked where Pelya was lying, and saw that smoke was coming from under the shabur, which means the hero was sleeping. Then Goblin quietly got up and fired directly at the log. Seeing Leshy's deceit, Pelya shot an arrow at him from behind a pine tree, killing Leshy on the spot. Long after that, Pelya lived, hunted animals and beat the unfaithful monster. But now the heroes began to be transferred to Russian soil, the time has passed for them on Vishera. The Vishera bogatyrs entered their stones with their treasures. At the same time, the growth of stones stopped, and they remained the same as they can be seen now..

This legend personifies the struggle of the Voguls with the Russians for their independence.

continuation Polyudov stone on the left bank of the Vishera is considered memorial stone(otherwise called Kolchim stone).

This stone is clearly visible from Cherdyn... commemorated stone is located between the watersheds of the Bolshaya and Malaya Peschanka rivers (tributaries of the Vizhaikha). With Dresvyana and Round steppes commemorated stone makes up a mountain range that looks like a large plateau, devoid of forest. This plateau stretches from northeast to southwest for a distance of 10 kilometers.

Extensive meadow glades of stone are covered with luxurious grass, which provides fodder for the livestock of the local population. It is believed that there were reservoirs here earlier, which dried up over time and now fat grass grows in these places. Altitude of the stone above sea level -730 meters.

In places, rocky outcrops protrude on the stone, having a bizarre shape of bell towers, towers, castles.

The massif of stone is composed of fine and coarse-grained quartz sandstone, sometimes white, sometimes reddish, turning into a conglomerate. The breed that makes up commemorated stone, identical with the layers Polyudov stone .

uplands of the stone they don’t approach Vishera, but the stone is clearly visible from the Vishera River near the village of Kolchim from the Govorlivsky stone. The stone from the Yazva River is very clearly visible from the villages of Yaborova and Bychina.

... The middle part of Vishera is more populated than the upper one. Settlements are located exclusively along the banks of the river. The following villages are located in this part of the river: Ust-Uls, Akchim, Pisanaya, Voronya, Sypuchi. Giotaskueva, Goloskovo, Bushmeni, Martina, Velgur, Shchugor, Dolgoe Pleso, Arefa, Kolchim, Conspiracy, Talkative, Ovladeva, Romanikha, Yuzhaninova, Talitsa, Mitrakova, Morchany and the city of Krasnovishersk.

Villages (except for Krasnovishersk) are small, with the number of households from 5 to 70 - 80.

The lower part of the Vishera is located from the mouth of the Kolva River to the confluence of the Vishera and the Kama. The length of this part of the Vishera River is about 70 kilometers. After the confluence of the Kolva, the Vishera becomes much wider, the width of the river here reaches 400 - 500 meters. The fall is no more than 3-4 centimeters per 1 kilometer of the river. The river flows here more calmly, among the flat banks. The bed of the river has a sandy or clayey character ... This part of the river, as well as the middle part to the city of Krasnovishersk, is navigable in summer. A big obstacle to navigation are the riffles, of which there are 18 in the lower part of the river.

In dry, hot summers, the depth of the riffles reaches only 70 - 80 centimeters, which prevents the passage of large passenger steamers. There are no rocks along the banks in this part of the river. The Vishera flows into the Kama 10 kilometers above the Tyulkino pier.
