Weird places in Russia you might want to visit

In 2020, being taken aback by c***d-19 pandemic, the vast majority of the Russians have been forced to travel locally. Undoubtedly, most of the people went to the Black sea this summer or darted to visit their relatives somewhere inside the country. In any case, closed borders gave all of us a chance to discover our own country. So if you don't want to mess around with thousands of others in one place where social distancing may obviously be difficult, you might want to visit some unknown or even weird places. Let's discover them right now.

Mazes in Karelia

Local residents say - if you managed to proceed to the end of the maze and made presents to all five forces of nature, you would get rid of negative energy inside you.

Komi, weathering rocks

These weathering rocks are considered one of the Seven Wonders of Russia. Weathering is a process of dissolving (breaking down) of rocks on the surface of the Earth. No rock on our planet is hard enough to resist the process of erosion under the action of winds, water, changing in temperature. These rocks (30 - 42 meters in height) are the vestiges of the ancient mountains.

You can find them on the territory of the Pechora-Ilychski biosphere Reserve on the mountain Man-Pupu-nyor (in the Mansi language - "a small mountain of idols"). However, these rocks can be reached only on foot, or on skis, or in a helicopter.

Arkaim, the Southern Ural

Arkaim is an archaeological site of an ancient fortified settlement in the Southern Ural, not so far from Chelyabinsk city. It has been found that the structure of Arkaim resembles the cities built "reproducing the model of the universe" described in ancient Aryan/Iranian spiritual literature, the Vedas and the Avesta. The structure consists of three concentric rings of walls and three radial streets, reflecting the city of King Yima described in the Rigveda. The foundation walls and the dwellings of the second ring are built according to what some researchers have described as swastika-like patterns; the same symbol is found on various artifacts. The fortified citadel of Arkaim dates back to the 17th and 16th century BCE.

Nationalists called Arkaim the "city of Russian glory" and the "most ancient Slavic-Aryan town".
