The northwestern part of the Altai, represented by low-mountain and mid-mountain ranges, is traditionally called the Rudny Altai. Most of it is located on the territory of Kazakhstan, relatively small in the south-west of the Altai Territory. Here is located one of the most interesting tourist areas of Altai - Gornaya Kolyvan.

Mountain Kolyvan is considered to be the lowland massif of the Kolyvan mountain range with the highest point of Sinyuha (1210 m), bounded from the north and west by the foothills of the steppes. The Kolyvan Ridge stretches along latitude along the border of the Altai Territory and Kazakhstan

The Legend of the Earth Novosibirskoye (Kolyvan District)

Mount Sinyuha and Mokhovoye Lake

Ascent to Sinyuha is a kind of ritual for the guests of Gorny Kolyvani . This is a beautiful observation point, to the top is a comfortable low path, surrounded by picturesque rocky outcrops - "stone palaces" .On the slopes of Sinyuha there is the Mokhovoye lake, a natural monument - a deep stone bowl with the purest water, at the foot of the cliff among the pine forest . You can only climb on Sinyuha on foot, climbing, albeit very simple, takes the whole day . Mount Sinyuha has long been revered Orthodox faithful, especially the old faith . Climbing to the top is surrounded by a halo of pilgrimage . To this day, believers come here to drink from a holy spring on the slope and wash their face with cleansing water from natural granite bowls formed on the slope and the top of the mountain . An Orthodox cross is established at Sinyuha .

Kolyvanskoe Lake (Savvushkino)

A relatively small lake (4 km long, 2-3 km wide) is famous for its clear water, granite rocks of a bizarre shape, scattered over coast, and a unique water chestnut - chilim. This plant is considered a relic preserved in some lakes of Altai from the pre-glacial period. The lake is located near the village of Savushki, from where it received its second name.

The forms of the relief on the shores of the Kolyvan Lake are of special interest: rocks of bizarre outlines, with which the imagination of man gives the form of arches, columns, palaces, fantastic animals, human faces. The phenomenon is unique and is not found anywhere else in the Altai Territory

Lake Beloe

The lake is located 12 km from Kolyvan village, not far from the village of 8 March. Its length is 4 km, width 2-3 km, depth 20 m. It is rich in fish and is an excellent place for swimming.
