Stolbichi

Stolbichi is a natural monument with steep slopes rising above the Volgograd Reservoir, where you can see impressive rock faces and layered geological formations. The landscape bears the marks of erosion shaped by water and time.

The region has long been a crossroads where people traveled between different river systems, using this landscape to navigate their routes. The slopes today stand as silent witnesses to these ancient passages.

The natural monument forms part of Shcherbakovskaya Nature Park, where local residents maintain connections to the land through seasonal outdoor activities.

You can reach this location on foot, and wearing sturdy shoes is important since the paths are uneven and sometimes steep. The warmer months offer the best visiting conditions, when trails are dry and easier to navigate.

The rock walls display layers in different colors that read like a geological book spanning millions of years. Researchers value this spot for how clearly these natural records are exposed to view.
