Divnogorye, Nature reserve and museum complex in Liskinsky District, Russia
The Divnogorye plateau stretches along the right bank of the Don River, featuring white chalk pillars rising from the ground at altitudes of 181 meters.
The first documented reference to the chalk pillars, locally named 'divy' meaning miracles, appeared in historical records dating back to 1389.
The Cathedral of the Assumption, constructed within chalk caves during the 17th century, remains an active Orthodox pilgrimage destination within the reserve.
The reserve opens its doors to visitors from May through October, welcoming over 60,000 people who can explore marked trails and camping facilities.
The reserve contains an archaeological park with remnants of the Mayatskaya Fortress, an outpost of the Khazar Khanate from the 9th century.
