Altyn-Solok, Nature reserve in Southern Ural, Russia
The protected area of Altyn-Solok spans 91,000 hectares across the Burzyansky District, featuring diverse ecosystems and native wildlife populations.
Established in 1997, this reserve forms part of the Bashkir Ural region and contains five significant archaeological sites, including the Shulgan-Tash Cave.
The name Altyn-Solok translates to golden hollow tree in the Bashkir language, reflecting the deep connection to traditional honey harvesting practices.
Entry to the reserve requires advance permits, and visitors must follow specific environmental guidelines to maintain the natural balance.
The reserve protects endemic Burzyan honey bees and serves as the last remaining location where professional wild honey harvesting continues.
