Switzerland to the Bashkir manners

According to legend, the first people named Switzerland as the soldiers who returned from Europe after the victory over Napoleon . But there is no documentary evidence for this version . Therefore the main and genuine one is this: in 1892, a private entrepreneur, Ivan Petrovich Kanshin, opened in these places, 5 km from the railway station Glukhovskaya, a koumiss therapist . And named it "Russian Switzerland" . Why is it now hardly anyone will say . Perhaps the beauty of this place inspired him and reminded Switzerland . And maybe Kanshin was a competent marketer . Then on the place of the koumiss camp there was a children's sanatorium, now an adult .

In December 2010, Russian Switzerland became a natural monument republican significance. The status of a specially protected natural area prohibits any economic activity here: construction, grazing, cutting of forests and collection of medicinal plants.

The main attraction of the village is, of course, a pointer with a name. To photographing is mandatory. In the rest, Russian Switzerland - a village as a village, such in Bashkiria dozens. Although nature - low hills, streams, a lake nearby, meadows, on which cows graze, - akin to the Swiss, here you can not argue. And, apparently, in confirmation of this in December 2010, Russian Switzerland became a natural monument of national importance.

Russian Switzerland

In the village there are a few streets, a little more than two hundred inhabitants, 82 houses . Now they are actively buying up residents of Belebey . @ Perhaps someday these houses will start to hand over to tourists who dream of a break from the hustle and bustle . In the summer - horse and walks, in the winter - ski trips . As in Switzerland .While there is nowhere to stay in Russian Switzerland, there are no hotels, tourists are eagerly accepted at the "Glukhovskaya" sanatorium complex, one and a half kilometers from the village. . You can eat here only at the roadside cafe "Volna", or invite to the villagers .

@ ATMs in Russian Switzerland have not yet appeared, so - prepare cash.
