Ingala Valley

The Ingala Valley spans 1500 square kilometers between the Tobol and Iset rivers, featuring a trapezoidal shape with high terraces on its northern and eastern borders.

Research of the valley began in the 17th century when grave robbers extracted precious metals from Tatar graves along the Iset River, resulting in lost archaeological treasures.

The valley contains 177 kurgans and 55 archaeological sites of federal significance, displaying evidence of Andronovo, Sargat, Koshkino, and Lybaevo cultural settlements through time.

The archaeological district maintains protected areas with designated paths for visitors to observe cultural heritage sites and natural monuments within its boundaries.

Artifacts discovered in the valley indicate connections to ancient trade routes linking Central Asia with the Northern Black Sea region during the Iron Age period.
