Geologicheskii Vestnik

The valley of the Yuryuzan River from the Yeltsovsky Greben to the mouth of the Ust-Kanda River runs across the western slope of the Southern Urals, composed of Upper Riphean, Devonian and Carboniferous rocks, which are exposed in vertical Riverside cliffs. Carbonate rocks are associated with caves, including the famous Idrisovskaya Cave, grottoes, niches and arches. The well-known geological section Bolshaya Luka, which is described in the riverside cliff opposite the village of Verkhnyaya Luka, is a reference (stratotype) for the Bashkir Stage of the Carboniferous System. This paper is aimed at systematizing information about the natural objects of the territory, which can be used to create organized geological and ecological trails — a kind of education of the population to focus attention on the significance of natural objects and their protection.
