1.700 km East of Moscow you will reach the Komi Republic in the Ural region.
The land of taiga is rich in natural resources. The most outstanding natural feature is the so-called Man-Pupu-Ner weathered pillars. It is undoubtedly a wonder of the world which still remains undiscovered by the traveling public. The sight of the seven erosional quirks towering over the barren hilltop is truly weird. In winter the pillars are completely white. They measure from 30 to 42 meters in height.
The pillars are accessible after sailing 200km down a taiga river by a boat and trekking 36km on foot. Less adventurous travelers can reach the plateau by helicopter which is fast and comfortable but much less exciting and enlightening compared to boating and trekking.
The Manpupuner rock formations (Man-Pupu-Nyer; Мань-Пупу-нёр) or the Seven Strong Men Rock Formations or Poles of the Komi Republic are a set of 7 gigantic abnormally shaped stone pillars located north of the Ural mountains in the Troitsko-Pechorsky District of the Komi Republic. These monoliths are around 30 to 42 m high and jut out of a hilly plateau formed through the weathering effects of ice and winds.
According to a local legend, the stone pillars were once an entourage of Samoyeds giants walking through the mountains to Siberia in order to destroy the Vogulsky people. However, upon seeing the holy Vogulsky mountains, the shaman of the giants dropped his drum and the entire team froze into the stone pillars.
Deemed one of the Seven Wonders of Russia, the Manpupuner rock formations are a very popular attraction in Russia, though not well known internationally and relatively unspoiled by tourism. Their height and abnormal shapes supposedly make the top of these rock giants inaccessible even to experienced rock-climbers.
