Balandinsky marble quarry
Scenic Lookout
Open Details
Not only nature, but also man is able to create something capable of striking the imagination. One of the places close to Chelyabinsk is the Balandinsk marble quarries.
Now some of them are filled with water, which in winter is covered with a transparent layer of ice, which against the background of massive marble boulders creates a very interesting landscape.

Большие Аллаки
Lake

There is nothing more beautiful than completing a day trip on the shores of Lake Allaki, walking among the most bizarrely shaped stone blocks.
And from the top of a small hill one can perfectly see the opposite shore of the lake and enjoy a marvellous scenery.
