Yermak Stone, Limestone cliff in Kungursky District, Russia
The Yermak Stone formation rises along the right bank of the Sylva River, featuring three distinct limestone peaks of varying elevations named Yermak, Yermachikha, and Yermachonok.
The stone formation contains a cave system that, according to regional tales from the 16th century, served as a winter shelter for Cossack leader Yermak Timofeyevich.
Mountain climbers gather at Yermak Stone each May 9th for the Perm city competition, maintaining a long tradition of athletic achievement at this natural formation.
Visitors can reach the cave system within the stone formation only through a descent from the top using specialized climbing equipment and ropes.
The cave structure produces exceptional sound effects, with local river workers reporting distinct echoes when calling out 'Yermak' near the formation.
