Every year millions of tourists come to Russia. There are many different reasons for travelling to Russia. First of all it is the largest country in the world. Secondly it has many historical , architectural and natural wonders.

Thirdly Russia is a hospitable country, visitors can feel like at home here. With the population over 150 million people Russia

is situated in the eleven time zones and two continents. You can see unique landscapes, forests, several mountain ranges

and crystal – clear water reservoirs in Russia . I invite you to visit the Urals.

The National park Zuratkul is located in the city of Satka. It is one of the most beautiful national parks in Russia. The area of the park is 88249 square kilometers. On the territory of the park are laid tourist routes. There is an excursion route from the coast of Lake Zuratkul and the ecological route “Malya Medvezhya” 5 km long. Lake Zuratkul is a part of the national park, one of the most notable nature monuments in the Urals.

There are unique plants, which are growing only here. On the territory of the reserve there are more than 30 lakes. One of the famous lakes is the Tyrgoyak, which is located in the mountain hollow.

The Ilmensky state natural Reserve was founded in 1920. It was the first Reserve, which was created in Russia. Here were found more than 270 minerals.

It also is possible to visit the borough Sulfuric spring which is founded in the Nyazepetrovsk region and is an archeological monument because ancient tribes lived in this place. During Pugachev’s War there was a rebels’ camp there. You can find old fortifications in this place. This autumn we have visited the spring with our history teacher. It was very interesting.
