Shabrov stone tents

Shabrovsky stone tents from the description of this place by the amateur archeologist N. A. Ryzhnikov (in 1924):

“The Shabrov tents are narrow, very high granite hills, on the top of which not every daredevil will be able to climb. But even from the height of them that I managed to climb in 1889, a wonderful view of dozens of miles in all directions opens ... At the foot of these rocks by us, that is, by me, Ryzhnikov, D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak and K. I. Fadeev collected a fair amount of shards, stone tools and animal bones. All these finds were taken by K. I. Fadeev, and I don’t know where they were transferred to them. In 1895, a peasant near the village of Malaya Sedelnikova, V. I. Shpankov, near these tents found the remains of a furnace for melting iron ore, fragments of the clay pipe “Nozzles” and ornamented shards, which were delivered to them by O. E. Claire. Exploration excavations carried out on these “Tents” by O. E. Clair found shards of various ornamented vessels, stone and bone tools and other small items, and many fragmented animal bones, and it was found that there was an altar similar to those found on other such “Tents” (Shartash tents, “Devil's Settlement” and “Mount Mataiha” 6-7 versts from Iset Lake and “Big Tents” at the 2nd Karasiy Lake). All these finds were examined by Baron De Bai in 1897 ” ^[1] .

Granite rocks up to 5-7 meters high have a mattress-like shape resulting from uneven weathering ^[2] .

Shabrovsky stone tents are a geomorphological natural monument ^[3] .
