Black Rock
The Black Rock is located in Taganay National Park. But it is located not in its main part, but closer to the village of Magnitogorsk, and for access to it there is a separate entrance in the park.
The route to Black Rock goes along a bulk trail. The rock itself is equipped with an observation deck overlooking the main peaks of Taganay.

Magnetic Fractures
The faults are located on the south-eastern outskirts of the village of Magnitogorsk, 20 km from Zlatoust. Until the 70's there were mines where titanium-magnetite ore was mined.
Failures were formed in Magnitogorsk on both sides of the road to the Old Magnitogorsk microdistrict.
It's about 20 total failures. It stretches 2.5 kilometers from southwest to northeast.
300 m south-east of the slopes is the Frog Mountain with rocky exits on the top.

Argus Rock
Rock Argus stands on the right bank of the Ai River, at its turn. And the cliff offers a picturesque view of the river.
Not far from Argus, a brook falls into Ay. It flows on a steep slope and has a small waterfall in front of the river.
On the mountain, between Argus and Kusa, there is a railroad. During its construction, small notches were broken through in the rocks, which can also be inspected if you want.
