Geographical position
βUch-Enmek Natural Park is located in the physical and geographical province of Central Altai in the Ongudai administrative region in the Karakol River basinβ [1] .
Of the total area of ββthe natural park 60551 ha:
- 810 ha are reserved for the conservation area (A); any activity is prohibited in it;
- 4777 ha - under specially protected area (B); any economic activity is prohibited, except for excursion routes with the obligatory accompaniment of a guide;
- 54964 hectares - under the recreation zone (B).
Mount Uch-Enmek (2792m), which gave the name to the park, is a sacred mountain for Altai people. "Uch" - three, "Enmek" - the head (crown, crown), Mount Uch-Enmek - has three peaks.
The territory of the park is located on the northern slope of the Terektinsky ridge . The relief formation was greatly influenced by past glaciation. The impact of ancient glaciers on the axial sections of the main ranges led to the formation of peaked peaks, cup-shaped valleys with many lakes. There are no large lakes in the park; all available lakes are located in glacial valleys and karst craters and are most often of glacial , rarely tectonic, origin. In the highlands, glacial lakes form a multi-stage cascade. The difference in elevation is from 2800 m above sea level to 900 m in the valley of the Ursul River. The highest peak in the park - Mount Uch-Enmek - reaches a height of 2821 m. Thus, the relief forms characteristic of various altitudinal zones of Central Altai are quite fully represented in the park.
Historical monuments are located on the so-called. transformed territories: river valleys, mountain slopes, where agricultural land is also located - arable land, pastures, settlements of indigenous Altai. The undisturbed territories of the natural park include the alpine zone - Mount Uch-Enmek and the adjacent areas - alpine landscapes (glacial-nival and tundra).

"Clear lake"). It is located about 15 km from the village of Kulada towards the Terektinsky ridge. The picturesque mountain lake with a diameter of about 600 m, is located at an altitude of 1300-1400 m. From the lake opens a panorama of the Terektinsky ridge and one of its peaks - Uch-Enmek.
