Deer Creek Nature Park.
The reserve "Deer Streams" is 12 thousand hectares of untouched nature of the Middle Urals. Karst formations, forest-steppe and taiga, rocky banks of the Sergi River - it is impossible to see everything in one day, but you will have time to see something.
In winter, the park's hiking trails are rolled up by snowmobiles, and the system of signs will not let you get lost. Entrance to the park costs 250 rubles (children under 18 years - free of charge). If you wish, you can specify the information you need by phone: 8 (904) 172-55-65. Bring a thermos with hot tea and biscuits to eat on the way.
