Shartash Stone Tents Rocks, Rock formation in Yekaterinburg, Russia

The Shartash Stone Tents Rocks consist of granite formations rising 25 meters above ground level, covering an area of 2 hectares near Lake Shartash.

Ancient inhabitants of the Ural region used these rock formations as ritual sites, conducting ceremonies and making offerings on their elevated surfaces.

The geological monument received federal cultural heritage status in 1983, marking its importance in preserving the natural history of the Sverdlovsk region.

Visitors can reach the stone formations through marked paths from central Yekaterinburg, with opportunities for hiking and nature photography throughout the year.

The natural processes of volcanic activity and erosion shaped these granite rocks into formations that resemble a group of tents in the landscape.
