The resemblance to a living creature is even more enhanced if you look into the grotto from the top platform of the rock. From there you can see a wide-open mouth with smooth inner walls, turning into a dark “pharynx” and then into the “larynx” - a thin crevice between stone layers.

At the top of Mount Charming there are no other water sources except the lake in the southern part on the slope of the mountain. The lake is shallow, with clear water, brownish-red in color, slightly swampy, with a rocky bottom and a small layer of silt. The lake has the shape of an irregular oval with a southern shore overgrown with birches. In the south-eastern part of the shore there is a convenient approach to the water with “steps”. Next to the water, on a flattened rocky outcrop, there is a shallow hole - a hole. Perhaps the edges of the hole were corrected in ancient times, and it was used in rituals. The very name of the mountain – “Charming” – comes from the word “enchantment”. It is believed that sacrifices were made on the shore of the lake to the spirits of the “lower world” - water and earth.

Slide description:

Belokurikha radon springs are one of the amazing natural phenomena. The deposit is small in area - about a square kilometer; in cross-section it resembles a giant multi-layer granite bowl or a stack of plates placed one on top of the other, the space between which is filled with water. Passing through labyrinths and aquifers, heated and enriched with trace elements and radon, the water is directed towards the slope of the giant bowl, where it emerges to the surface in numerous hot springs. They are unique in their medicinal and chemical properties. Radon waters have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-allergic effects, have a unique ability to reduce cholesterol in the body, and even prevent aging.

Slide description:

The top of the mountain is represented by rocks, devoid of any vegetation due to weak rocky soil, on which young trees do not take root well. The mountain is dominated by round, dome-shaped shapes, and rocky outcrops are common. A beautiful panorama opens from the top of the mountain. Through the efforts of water and winds, the most unexpected and interesting forms of relief have been created on Sinyukha: sometimes these are arches, sometimes columns, sometimes fantastic animals. The slopes of the mountain are occupied by a fir forest; the flora of Mount Sinyukha includes 541 species of higher vascular plants, 18 of which are included in the Red Book of the Altai Territory. Mount Sinyukha has long been considered a place of pilgrimage. On the top and slopes of the mountain there are several natural granite bowls filled with what many believe to be holy water.

At the top of Tserkovka there is a wonderful view of the Biysk Plain approaching the mountains, the city of Belokurikha, the resort area with sanatoriums and the undulating ridges of the Cherginsky Range. Rock Church is impossible to confuse. She stands on the edge of a steep descent from the ridge of the mountain. The rock is formed by large weathered blocks - outlier rocks. And it narrows from the base to the top. The top of the rock is an onion-shaped block, similar to a church dome, with a cross installed on it. This probably explains the name of the mountain. In past centuries, a sacred tree of the Altai people grew and a chapel stood on the eastern side of the rock. Birds are usually fed near the Tserkovka rock. The birds are so accustomed to people that they sit directly on the hand of those feeding them.
