Small Ducks and Dry Waterfalls
Small Drags (or the Yuldashkin crest) are smaller, but also good. Like the Bolshoi, they are located on the left bank of the river (3 km upstream or 1.5 km directly on foot across the field).
The length of the rocks is 750 m, the height is 60-80 m. The age of the limestone composing the rock is 370-350 million years. If you look closely, you can pay attention to the extended protrusion. The rocks are covered with mosses, lichens, partially covered with grass and even shrubs. Rocks facing north are dimly lit by the sun. They begin immediately after a rapid roll.
But the main "trick" of Small Prises is Dry Waterfalls (the second name is Alekseevsky Log).
Dry waterfalls are not visible from the water, so you can easily pass by. They are located on the left bank, just below the rocky exit of Maly Prises.
They are a dry land with several cascades - transverse ledges. You can climb them, as if on the steps of a stone staircase. In ancient times, a river flowed here.
At the top of the rock, in which the log coming up from above the field breaks off. In spring or after heavy rains, a waterfall 16.5 meters high forms here. Under the rock there is a small lake in a water funnel.
In my opinion, Dry Waterfalls are one of the most worthwhile, memorable places on the Ay River. Take care of these wonderful places!
Visit to Alekseevsky log
Dry waterfalls are very popular among tourists. This beautiful and unusual place is visited both by a separate excursion object, and during rafting and inspections of caves on the river. Dry waterfalls are considered one of the most worthwhile, memorable places on the Ay river.
How to get to Alekseevsky Log
From Chelyabinsk to Dry Waterfalls can be reached by moving towards Satka. After passing the city, turn onto Megeve. Next, you need to leave behind Sulei, Paramonovo and turn left before the New Quay. Behind the village of Blinovka, drive past the old Kamenka riverbed and caves on it. The former Kurgazak mine will be nearby. After it, drive towards the village of Alekseevka to the Alekseevskaya farm. However, it is best to visit the waterfalls during the river rafting.
The Legend of Druids
This story happened before the revolution. They began to disappear in the village of Theremin horse. And not in units, but in whole herds. The Termenevites were alarmed and began to watch for the thief. And the thief was Kulmetyevsky Tatar Yuldash. Yuldash secretly stole horses and sold them to gypsies.
Once, after another hijacking, Yuldash returned to his native village. But an ambush awaited him. The horsemen on horseback surrounded Yuldash. On the right began the wide Alekseevskoye field - not to hide, on the left - a rock on the Ai River - also no go. Seeing that he could not break out of the ring, Yuldash straightened his horse, accelerated and, under the evil whistle of his pursuers, jumped from the cliff with the horse, finding his death below.
The angry men did not spare the cart with the Yuldashkin goods. They overturned to the same place where the owner jumped. There was a samovar in the wagon that Yuldash carried with him everywhere. He flew out and caught in the crevice of the rock. This happened just in the place where the entrance to
mysterious cave (Youth Grotto). For decades, that samovar hung on parole. The wind howled in him, causing superstitious fear in people. Then he still broke and drowned in the river (in the mid-1960s).
The legend is written down by the Satka local historian V.P. Chernetsov.
