Lonely Planet review for Stolby Nature Reserve

Arguably Krasnoyarsk's greatest attractions are the spiky volcanic rock pillars called stolby. These litter the woods in the 17,000-hectare Stolby Nature Reserve south of the Yenisey River. To reach the main concentration of pillars, start by walking 7km down a track near Turbaza Yenisey. Alternatively, there is much easier access via a long chair lift from beside Kafe Bobrovyylog (ul Sibirskaya).

This usually runs year-round on request, but was closed throughout 2005 during a massive ski-slope redevelopment. From the top of the chair lift, walk for two minutes to a great viewpoint or around 40 minutes to reach the impressive Takmak Stolby. Infected ticks are dangerous between May and July. Tours are available, personalised in English with SibTourGuide (priced according to itinerary) or all in Russian through KBPE.

    I have traveled up to 4 different mountain tops in the Stolby Nature Reserve while on my vacation here. You must go if you are in Krasnoyarsk.
