Bashkiria Mt. Kurtashtau from the Highway side

Trail description

Easy route as part of the "Ural Leopard" project The route starts from the highway; the ascent is minimal, and the entire path is quite gentle The final 150 meters involve a steep scramble over boulder fields According to some people I met on the mountain, these are the remains of an ancient volcanic crater; you can indeed see steep, almost collapsed walls, though I am not entirely sure if it was actually a volcano
