Kolpaki, upland in Perm Krai, Russia
Kolpaki is a protected upland area in Gornozavodsky District, Perm Krai, defined by rocky outcrops and forested slopes. The terrain features weathered stone formations rising from a landscape of pine trees, moss, and fallen leaves, with trails winding through the uneven ground.
The site received official protection in 1981 to preserve its natural features and local ecosystems. The region has remained largely undeveloped, maintaining its wild character and serving as a quiet retreat for visitors seeking connection with the land.
Access is best by vehicle as public transportation is limited; dirt roads lead to the base of the upland. Wear sturdy hiking boots and a jacket since terrain is uneven and conditions can change quickly, with no facilities available on site.
The rocky formations take their name from rounded, dome-like peaks that resemble small caps or crowns. These shapes were carved over time by wind and rain, creating natural stone sculptures that stand out against the forest backdrop.
