Gora Sekirnaya, Mountain summit in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia
Gora Sekirnaya reaches 71 meters above sea level and features diverse landscapes of flatlands and northern Russian terrain spread across its slopes.
The mountain holds cartographic importance dating to early Russian Empire mapping efforts, when surveyors first documented its geographical characteristics.
The Holy Ascension Skete religious structure stands at the peak, marking the mountain as a significant location for orthodox practices.
Visitors require proper outdoor equipment and navigation tools when exploring the mountain paths, particularly during winter months.
The name translates to 'axe mountain' in Russian, reflecting historical connections to regional wood harvesting activities.
