Wonderland "Romantsevskie Gory"

Well, what are the mountains under Tula? This is a reasonable question. Many are surprised, they spread their hands. There you have to go to see this.

What it is

Of course, these are not mountains, in the understanding of geographers, geologists, climbers and other specialists interested in the reliefs of the earth's surface. They are not in this status on the map.

The Romantsev Mountains are an amazing place, which appeared on the site of a coal-mining enterprise. This object of nature can be called man-made, although without the help of Mother Nature there was not.

In the middle of the 20th century, brown coal was discovered here. Its layers were located near the surface of the earth, so the extraction of this mineral by the open method began here.

Excavators and tractors plowed the earth, bitten into its surface, shifted the rocks, reaching up to the coal layer.

As a result of these works, deep trenches and high embankments of soil were formed.

More than twenty years of work has been done here. Coal was extracted, exported to the needs of the country. In the years of perestroika (in the 80s, 90s), production was unprofitable, further development of the field is expensive. All closed, abandoned.

Here in the development of the site included nature. Winds, rains, sunshine changed him beyond recognition. The ditches were filled with water, the embankments became covered with vegetation. A lot of ravines have turned the terrain into something unusual.

Romantsevsky mountains remind to whom models of mountain landscapes of Altai, to whom African deserts, to whom and at all a surface of other planet.

Indeed, the species here are fascinating at any time of the day. This magnificence extends for 16 km - from the village of Konduki to Kimovsk.
