Kachkanar, Mountain ridge in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia
The Kachkanar mountain features two summits, with the Great Kachkanar reaching 878 meters and Little Kachkanar standing at 866 meters above sea level.
Early geological studies in the 1930s revealed substantial iron-vanadium ore deposits, leading to the establishment of mining operations and the founding of Kachkanar town.
The Shedrub Ling Buddhist monastery, established in 1995 by Lama Sanje Tenzin Dokshitom, stands on the mountain slopes despite mining activities in the area.
Visitors can access the mountain via a 270-kilometer route from Yekaterinburg through the Serov road, with opportunities for hiking and overnight stays.
From Camel Rock formation, observers can view both the town of Kachkanar and the extensive iron ore mining operations at the Kachkanar Processing Plant.
