The miracles do not end there: amazing stone monasteries and churches were hollowed out right in the chalk Divas in the middle of the 17th century. These unique structures seem to preserve the very spirit of antiquity and holiness. The monks lived here very ascetically: in the stone cells the temperature was the same in winter and summer — no higher than 15 degrees.

Routes to the foot of the highest and most beautiful mountain of Altai Belukha and to the fabulous Kucherlinsky lakes are the most popular. These places are called the mysterious country of Belovodye and very often — Russian Shambhala. They say they are filled with amazing energy, and people often come here to meditate and look for places of power. The route will take at least a week. Weeks of silence, the grandeur of the mountains and the enjoyment of stunning nature.

Of course, these are not all amazing routes of a huge country! Tell us in the comments what wonderful roads you have traveled.
