Where can you organize a camping holiday in summer?

A picnic, a weekend trip - all this can hardly be called a complete vacation. But a real trip to the most beautiful places of Bashkiria with tents will be a pleasant shock for some , for some a return to carefree youth, and for others, perhaps, it will inspire further travel as “savages”. Before going on such a vacation in the field, you need to decide on the location of the camp - there are several of them in the Republic of Bashkiria.

Inzer

This is the most “tourist” river in the republic, on the banks of which there are two main campsites for camping enthusiasts. The first one is called “71st kilometer”, which is also the name of the station where the train from Ufa stops. It will be possible to reach the base from the station only through the river, crossing it into a ford.

The specific crossing point is easy to find, and there are always experienced travelers nearby who will be happy to give tips. It should be taken into account that the depth of the river in this place barely reaches a waist with an average height, but its current here is quite strong, and the bottom is strewn with stones - in general, you need to take precautions during the transition.

The 71st kilometer is a clear clearing where you can always find a place for a tent. There is no charge for staying here, which is what attracts nature and water lovers. Often in a clearing you can find a place for a fire, “horns” in the ground for easy cooking, and even small supplies of sugar/salt - these are what almost all novice travelers forget.

Inzer River

The second stop – 95th kilometer, is almost identical to the previous one. The only difference is that there are no clearly defined areas for setting up a tent: everything is mixed up, there is some kind of disorder.

You can swim in the Inzer River, but it has a strong current, so you need to exercise some caution during water procedures. From any parking lot you can and should get to the Pink Rocks - stunning views are guaranteed. You will have to climb up, and if you don’t have the appropriate physical training, it will be difficult to do. However, absolutely everyone will be able to reach the first observation deck - the rock hangs like a canopy over the cliff, offering a wonderful view.

Atysh

This is a four-meter waterfall, the water of which flows from a natural spring inside the rock and is impeccably clean - if you look at it from the side, it appears blue. You can get to Atish from the 71st kilometer parking lot, but you will have to ford two rivers and climb/descend from a low mountain.

Near the waterfall there are tourist camps where you can camp with tents. And there are several caves around that you can get into on your own, but following simple rules - do not go far from the entrance (it must remain in sight), do not go into any branches. In general, excursions to these caves are organized by experienced guides - it is safe and interesting.

Atysh Waterfall

Burzyansky district

There are 4 campsites for campers with tents:

• “Three Brothers” - the village of Davletovo;
• “Razbonichya” - near the village of Mindigulovo;
• to the settlement of Kiekbaevo;
• near the Shulga-Tash nature reserve (2 km).

In these places, tourists stay with minimal comfort - the parking lots have showers, dry closets, and even the opportunity to use the simplest kitchen utensils. The cost of such a holiday will be in the range of 60 - 100 rubles per day per tent.

The only inconvenience is that you can only get to the camps by car, but there are travel companies that organize transportation of guests to their destination. The same service is also provided by local village residents.

Burzyansky district

Krasnousolsky

This is a famous resort village 135 km from Ufa, which stands on the banks of the Usolka River . If you are planning a holiday with a tent, then you should drive 2-5 km from the village and choose a parking spot near the river - you don’t need to pay for it. And a vacation in Krasnousolsky is interesting not only for the opportunity to contemplate natural beauty, swimming in the clear waters of Usolka and fishing, but also for the opportunity to visit an ostrich farm, natural mud “baths,” and a convent.

Around the village of Krasnousolkiy people often relax in tents with children - civilization is close, medical assistance is provided quickly, and in case of bad weather you can use the hotels of the village.

Excursions around Bashkiria

Thanks to the unique nature, guests and residents of Bashkortostan can choose the following tours:

Atysh Waterfall

This place is also in great demand among tourists.
The water here flows from the grotto of the cave and falls down from a height of 4 m. The constant impact of water on the stone led to the formation of two boilers. The depth of each of them is 10 m and the width is 20 m.

Atysh waterfall is located on the right bank of the Lemeza River. In the spring season, this reservoir is suitable for rafting. However, it should be noted that it is very difficult to notice the waterfall from the river, since it is disguised between the rocks. In this place you can find a large number of sinkholes and karst caves.

How to get there?

To enjoy the beautiful view of this waterfall, you need to take the train in Ufa towards Beloretsk and get off at the “71 km” station. After this, you should go into the distance along the path and cross the ford of the Inzer and Lemezu rivers. The total distance from the stop is approximately 13 km.

Do you remember the fantasy nature in the movie Avatar? Have you ever dreamed of seeing this stunning beauty with your own eyes? Yes, yes, and we have a place in Bashkiria that is in no way inferior to the Dzhandzyadze National Park in the Chinese province of Hunan, where the blockbuster was filmed.

This is a small ridge called the Inzerskie Zubchka - stone outcrops lost in the vast forests of the Southern Urals.

The most striking part of the ridge is the rock “circus”. The rocks, looking like sharp giant teeth, are spread out here in a circle, which is why they got the name “circus”. The highest “teeth” reach a length of 35 m. Some rock formations have such a bizarre shape that you can’t help but wonder if they are of natural origin... The place is fantastic!
