Кулиные болота, Sumpf in Russland
Kuli Marshes are a swampland located on the Chivyrkui Isthmus near the Holy Nose Peninsula within the Transbaikal National Park. Around 120 thermal vents punctuate the landscape over roughly 40 square kilometers, continuously releasing hot mineral-rich water from the earth.
The area formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity that triggered the release of hot mineral water from underground. A small settlement named Kuli once existed here, but residents abandoned it when volcanic gases became a hazard, particularly for livestock.
These marshes are experienced as a place where the earth itself seems alive and active. Visitors witness steam rising from the ground and hear the gentle sound of hot water flowing, creating a sense of connection to the raw forces of nature.
The area is accessible only by unpaved roads and is best visited during warmer months to avoid difficult weather conditions. Wear appropriate clothing to protect against moisture and wind, and exercise caution around the thermal vents as toxic gases escape from the ground.
Even during harsh winter freezing, the hot springs continue to bubble vigorously, creating surreal images as steam rises from the snow-covered ground. This dramatic contrast between cold and heat reveals the unstoppable geothermal forces beneath this remote terrain.
