Strong and trained horses will take you though thick taiga rich with all kinds of mushrooms and berries, though huge glades full of delicious scents of herbs, through clear mountainous rivers and streams. Charming beauty of landscapes, swimming in refreshing rivers and the heat of fire in the evening will enrich you with energy and health.

Iremel (1582 metres) it is possible to traverse different natural zones: deciduous forest, forest-tundra, coniferous forests and mountain zones. Here you can feel the fragrance of forest herbs - from the base of one of these, the famous Bashkir balsams are manufactured.  You can swim in the “water of life” - a mountain spring and if you are lucky you can find the “gold root”, which is an analogue of the famous ginseng.
