Kvarkush ridge in the Ural Mountains is the unique native zone stretching 60 kilometers (37 miles) long. Vogulskii Rock (Vogulskii Kamen) is its highest peak (1066 meters / 3497 ft).

Visiting this small area you can see how all natural zones of the Northern Urals change each other. Taiga (Fir and silver fir) zone is at the bottom of the ridge. Walking higher you will pass mountain taiga forests with human growth ferns. Next is the area of meadows with exuberant vegetation  which is changed into coniferous elfin woodland. And finally mountain tundra is at the top of the ridge.

Kvarkush is like a fairy forest and alpine meadow. It's the corner of the world where mushrooms are higher then trees. Kvarkush mountain bogs are shallow and smelling sweet. Even in the middle of summer snow can be found here. It's bears' paradise  abounded in different kinds of berries. Reindeers live here and they are not afraid of people and can be hand-fed.
