Sunduki Range, Natural monument and open-air museum in Khakassia, Russia
The Sunduki Range extends for 10 kilometers through Ordzhonikidzevsky and Shirinsky districts, featuring five distinct red sandstone mountains with steep eastern slopes.
The area contains petroglyphs from the Tagar culture dating over two thousand years, along with ancient irrigation canals from the first millennium BC.
The site includes the Sve Onlo fortress on the First Sunduk, with stone walls and earthworks that served as protective shelters during past conflicts.
Visitors can access the range through marked dirt roads and find accommodation options at nearby Lake Bele, including Big Reach and ELKO campsites.
The northernmost peak contains a cube-shaped rock formation that resembles a chest, leading to the name Sunduki, which translates to chests in Russian.
