Protected natural areas: Vishera Nature Reserve, Basegi Nature Reserve, Cis-Urals Nature Reserve.

Vishera Reserve

The Vishera State Reserve was established on February 26, 1991. The protected area of ​​the Vishera Reserve is located in the extreme northeast of the Kama region, in the upper reaches of the Vishera River. According to the nature of the relief, it is clearly divided into two sections: the western one is hilly and ridged and the eastern one is mountainous. The border between them runs along the Vishera and Lopya rivers.
Along the right bank of the river Vishera stretch low (on average 300 - 400 m) wooded ridges covered with dense fir-spruce taiga and small secondary birch forests that have arisen on the sites of windfalls, old clearings and burnt areas.

The reserve is located on the western slope of the Northern Urals, covering the upper reaches of the river. Vishera (the entire basin on this site); in the Krasnovishersky district of the Perm region. The reserve was created to protect the intact mountain-taiga landscapes of the Northern Urals with their inherent flora and fauna, specific for its transitional nature from the European type to the Siberian. The reserve is an important link in a single chain of the Ural protected areas, and its nature is similar to the nearby reserves - Denezhkin Kamen (its northern border is 25 km to the south) and Pechoro-Ilychsky (40 km to the north). On the territory of the reserve there are numerous karst forms - funnels, caves, blind valleys.
In the vegetation, altitudinal zonality is expressed - from the middle taiga spruce-fir forests to mountain tundra and cold mountain deserts. The largest population of sable in the Perm region lives in the reserve, brown bear, wild reindeer are common. Of the rare birds, there are osprey, golden eagle, white-tailed eagle, black stork.

Attractions in the Vishera Reserve.

Picturesque landforms and unique natural creations are attractive due to their inaccessibility and harsh climate. The reserve covers the northern outskirts of the Perm Territory, and some objects in their performance exceed similar ones throughout its territory. Thus, the highest peak of the Perm region, the Tulymsky stone, and the northernmost point, Saklaimsori-Chakhl, are located on protected lands.

Breathtakingly beautiful are the waterfalls on the Tabornaya River and the Svetly Stream. The remnant rocks on the territory of the Vishera Reserve - on the top of Manin-Tump, the Chuval gods on the northeastern plateau of the Chuval mountain range, reminiscent of the famous giants Manpupuner, as well as bizarre rocks in the central and northern part of the Larch Range are known for their special mystical attractiveness.

The dungeons of the Vishersky region are mysterious and little explored. Near the cordon Lypya in limestones and dolomites, voids are washed out - the caves of Lypyinskaya and Dry Lypyinskaya, in the latter there are beautiful sagging. No less popular with tourists is the Visherskaya Cave - the second longest passage in the Northern Urals.
Mountain rivers used by tourists for rafting, and pristine mountain-taiga landscapes - wealth, perhaps, is greater and more valuable than the famous Vishera gold and diamonds.

Reserve "Basegi"

The Basegi Reserve is a state nature reserve in the Perm Territory. Founded on October 1, 1982 (Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR No. 531). The total area of ​​the Basegi reserve is 37,935 ha, of which 21,345 ha is a nature protection zone. The reserve was created to protect many representatives of flora and fauna. The Basegi Ridge, located in its central part, gave the name to the reserve.

The reserve is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation.
The territory of the reserve occupies the Basegi ridge, located in the highest part of the western macroslope of the Middle Urals, on the territory of the Gornozavodsky district of the Perm region. The reserve was created to protect undisturbed areas of the indigenous mountain taiga of the Cis-Urals and the Urals.

On the Western spurs of the Ural mountain range, among the endless sea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe taiga, there rises a picturesque mountain range - Basegi. It consists of three separate peaks: North, Middle and South Baseg. The ridges are located in the meridian direction from north to south. The highest point of the reserve is the central peak of the ridge - Mount Sredny Baseg, whose height is 994 m.

Separate mountain ranges, stretched from north to south, are made up of ridges, hills, ridges with exposed peaks, often sharp, comb-like. Large ridges, individual mountains and talus are separated by hollows. Steep rocky slopes are covered with disorderly heaps of stones and boulders with a diameter of 0.5 to 1 m, and sometimes up to 3.5 m. At the tops, outcrops of rocks are destroyed and have bizarre shapes.

The largest rivers of the reserve are Usva and Vilva. The largest width of the first of them is 92 m, the depth is from 30 cm (on the riffles) to 2.2 m. 11 small rivers flow on the territory of the reserve, their width is from 3 to 10 m. All of them are typically mountainous, with a significant slope of the channels , high flow velocity (from 3 to 5 and even 8 m/s). Flowing from the western slope of the ridge, the rivers Big Empty, Small and Big Baseg, Lyalim flow strictly to the west, flowing into the river. Usva.
The Porozhnaya and Khariusnaya rivers flow from south to north and are also tributaries of the Usva. The Korostelevka river with numerous tributaries originates in the intermountain basin to the east of the ridge, flows from north to south and flows into the river. Vilva.

The reserve is home to 51 species of mammals, more than 150 species of birds, 2 species of reptiles and 3 species of amphibians. Many animals are represented in the reserve by specific Ural subspecies that are not found outside this mountainous country. Rodents are very diverse in the territory of the reserve. The flying squirrel is occasionally found in the tall coniferous and deciduous forests of the reserve. Chipmunk is very rare in the reserve and lives in river valleys in areas with cedar. The squirrel, one of the main fur-bearing game animals of the Perm region, is common in all forests, except for purely deciduous ones.

There are few mouse-like rodents in the reserve. These are field and forest mice. In the river valleys and on the lawns you can meet the baby mouse - the smallest rodent of our fauna. The animal prefers thickets of tall grass, while living not only in shelters underground, but sometimes weaves a spherical nest from dry blades of grass.

Of the ungulates in the reserve, there are elk, roe deer and reindeer. The pine marten is a typical predator of the old dark coniferous forests of the reserve, mostly littered areas with hollow trees. Its number in the reserve is significant. Weasels and stoats are common and found everywhere in various biotopes. There are numerous columns, mink and otter. The badger is rare and prefers open dry areas, forest edges. In winter, the wolverine is noted in the reserve, and wolves occasionally come. The fox lives in meadows and crooked forests. Brown bear and lynx are common in the forest belt.

Pre-Urals Reserve

Established in 1943 as the Kungur Reserve; since 1952 it has been a complex reserve. The Pre-Urals reserve was formed by a decree of the governor of the Perm region. dated December 31, 1997, No. 469.
The territory of the reserve is located in the northern part of the Ufa plateau and is an ancient, strongly elevated plain, cut through by the Sylva valley and logs. Its lands stretch in a narrow strip along both banks of the Sylva River from the village of Filippovka to the village of Kisherti and occupy about 2 thousand hectares. The highest heights above sea level (240-250) are located on the watershed in the northern part of the region, and the lowest (112 meters) at the level of Sylva. The area here is very picturesque. Among the steep banks covered with dense coniferous forest, the beautiful Sylva meanders like a silvery ribbon.

The plant world is peculiar: next to the plants of European broad-leaved forests there are representatives of the Siberian dark coniferous taiga. 113 species of rare plants grow in the reserve, 38 of which are listed in the Red Books of Russia and the Middle Urals.

Diverse and animal world. The species diversity of vertebrates is represented by 265 animal species. There are 26 species of fish, 6 amphibians, 4 reptiles, 181 birds (including 140 nesting species), and 48 mammals. Of the rare and endangered species listed in the Red Books, there are 24 species.

There are 387 specially protected natural areas in the Perm Territory. Created 2 reserves of the federal level Basegi and Vishera

There are reserves on the map: A - Vishera Reserve, B - Baseg Reserve and.

Vishera State Nature Reserve ik was founded in February 1991. and is located in the extreme north-east of the Perm region. The area of ​​the reserve is 241,200 hectares, which is 15.6% of the area of ​​the Krasnovishersky district and 1.5% of the region. The reserve includes the catchment area of ​​the upper reaches of the river. Vishera with tributaries - rivers: Vels, Capelin, Lypya, Niols, Lopya, Khalsoriya.

The fauna of this protected area is also extremely rich. Brown bears, elks, pine martens, sables live here, as well as the European mink, which is also very rare in the Kama region.

Territory Reserve "Basegi""is located within the western macroslope of the Main Ural Range. The central line of the reserve stretches from north to south along the Basegi ridge, which looks like well-isolated mountain peaks of the Northern Basega (952 m above sea level), the Middle Basega (994 m) and the Southern Basega (851 m ).

The ridge itself is a watershed of the Usva and Vilva rivers (tributaries of the Chusovaya River) and has a well-defined altitudinal zonality

Bizarre landforms formed as a result of the last glaciation and weathering are the most beautiful places. Currently, the formation of the relief is influenced by flowing waters and the movement of weathering products. 11 rivers flow through the territory of the reserve, their sizes vary between 3-10 m, they are mountainous with fast currents and clear clear water. The spring flood lasts 40 days. During summer rains, the water level in the river rises strongly, the largest rivers of the reserve are Ulva and Vilva. Empty River

In more humid places in the shrub tundra, there are princess, crowberry, blueberry, lingonberry, blueberry, juniper, high-mountain bluegrass. There are almost no meadows on the peaks of the Basega Mountains, and the vegetation cover is represented by various herbs, flowers and berries, as well as very rare plants.

Lingonberry blueberry princess

Arctic raspberry, princess, polyberry - Rubus arcticus L.

It grows in damp coniferous and deciduous forests, near swamps, along the banks of rivers and lakes. It occurs in the northern and middle zones of Russia, in the Urals, Siberia, the Far East and the Caucasus.

Currently, as a result of deforestation, the plant is gradually disappearing from its natural habitats. Polyanika is introduced into culture as a valuable, highly winter-hardy and ornamental plant with tasty and healing fruits. Polyanyka is not accidentally called the princess. Once upon a time, this berry was highly valued by the princes for its unique taste and aroma, reminiscent of both raspberries and pineapple at the same time. Peasant women followed her to an unknown distance and brought her to the princes as quitrent along with sable skins.

Black crowberry - Empetrum nigrum L.

• The fauna of the reserve includes 51 species of mammals, 150 species of birds, 2 species of reptiles and 3 species of amphibians. The reserve has many animals belonging to the European fauna, such as the bank vole, wood mouse, common vole, marten, European mink, as well as most bird species; to representatives of the Siberian fauna - Siberian weasel, sable, red-backed vole, red-gray vole, Siberian subspecies of roe deer;

The species found only in the Urals include the mole, common shrew, wood mouse, red-backed vole, housekeeper vole, field vole (South Ural subspecies),

Reserves and specially protected places of the Perm Territory

Permian nature has many problems, and people are trying to help it. For this purpose, specially protected territories are allocated in the region: botanical, zoological, geological. The most unique and highly protected are nature reserves. There are two of them in the Perm Territory - this is a state nature reserve "Basegi"(founded in 1982) and the state natural reserve "Vishersky"(created in 1991). In these places there is very beautiful nature, which is even reflected in the name "Basegi", which comes from the old Russian word "basco" - beautiful. "Vishersky" nature reserve is one of the largest in Europe.

In addition, in the Perm region there are reserves, in which economic activity is limited, for example, " Cis-Urals"in the Kungur and Kishert regions, the Kungur ice cave and Kungur forest, Belaya Gora in the Lysva region, etc. are protected.

Specially protected natural areas of urban significance in Perm include the botanical garden of the Perm State University named after Professor A.G. Genkel, the city park named after A.M. Gorky, the Chernyaevsky forest park, Lipovaya Gora, the Sosnovy Bor park and the Zakamsky Bor protected natural areas , "Linden Mountain", "Levshinsky", "Verkhnekurinsky". More recently, in 2009, another specially protected area was allocated in Perm - the Duck Swamp natural complex, which is located in Zakamsk, behind the Rubin cinema. This is a unique place in the city. Real ship pines grow here, mallards have settled - a rare species of ducks. Squirrels live nearby in the park, which are not at all afraid of people - you can feed them directly from your hands.

In the PSU Botanical Garden, a living collection of plants listed in the regional Red Book is being created in separate areas. Among them are species that grow in the forest, forest-steppe and mountain zones of the region, as well as those that have medicinal value. These are rare plants, for example, spring adonis, iris (iris), etc.

In the region, various awards are given to areas that are the most prosperous in terms of ecological condition. So, for example, the Uinsky district, located in the south of the Kama region, was awarded the medal "Ecologically Clean Territory".

Reserve Basegi
The territory of the reserve occupies the Basegi ridge, located in the highest part of the western macroslope of the Middle Urals, on the territory of the Gornozavodsky district of the Perm region. The reserve was created to protect undisturbed areas of the indigenous mountain taiga of the Cis-Urals and the Urals.

Separate mountain ranges, stretched from north to south, are made up of ridges, hills, ridges with exposed peaks, often sharp, comb-like. Large ridges, individual mountains and talus are separated by hollows. Steep rocky slopes are covered with disorderly heaps of stones and boulders with a diameter of 0.5 to 1 m, and sometimes up to 3.5 m.

The largest width of the first of them is 92 m, the depth is from 30 cm (on the riffles) to 2.2 m. 11 small rivers flow on the territory of the reserve, their width is from 3 to 10 m. All of them are typically mountainous, with a significant slope of the channels , high flow velocity (from 3 to 5 and even 8 m/s). Flowing from the western slope of the ridge, the rivers Big Empty, Small and Big Baseg, Lyalim flow strictly to the west, flowing into the river. Usva.

The Porozhnaya and Khariusnaya rivers flow from south to north and are also tributaries of the Usva. The Korostelevka river with numerous tributaries originates in the intermountain basin to the east of the ridge, flows from north to south and flows into the river. Vilva. The spring flood, starting on April 25-30, usually lasts about 40 days and, as a rule, does not pass in one wave, but with 4-5 water rises. During the period of powerful heavy rains in the middle and at the end of summer, the rivers swell again, almost reaching the level of the spring flood.

The reserve is home to 51 species of mammals, more than 150 species of birds, 2 species of reptiles and 3 species of amphibians. Many animals are represented in the reserve by specific Ural subspecies that are not found outside this mountainous country. Rodents are very diverse in the territory of the reserve. The flying squirrel is occasionally found in the tall coniferous and deciduous forests of the reserve. Chipmunk is very rare in the reserve and lives in river valleys in areas with cedar.

Vishera Reserve
The reserve is located on the western slope of the Northern Urals, covering the upper reaches of the river. Vishera (the entire basin on this site); in the Krasnovishersky district of the Perm region. The reserve was created to protect the intact mountain-taiga landscapes of the Northern Urals with their inherent flora and fauna, specific for its transitional nature from the European type to the Siberian. The reserve is an important link in a single chain of the Ural protected areas, and its nature is similar to the nearby reserves - Denezhkin Kamen (its northern border is 25 km to the south) and Pechoro-Ilychsky (40 km to the north). On the territory of the reserve there are numerous karst forms - funnels, caves, blind valleys.

In the vegetation, altitudinal zonality is expressed - from the middle taiga spruce-fir forests to mountain tundra and cold mountain deserts. The largest population of sable in the Perm region lives in the reserve, brown bear, wild reindeer are common. Of the rare birds, there are osprey, golden eagle, white-tailed eagle, black stork.

Even in the remote regions of the Middle Urals, there are practically no places left untouched by man. One of the few unique opportunities to see a piece of pristine nature is to visit the Basegi State Reserve, located in the Perm Territory. Its creation was conceived in order to preserve the grandiose massifs of the Middle Ural fir and spruce forests growing in the foothills of the ridge of the same name.

The forest zone of the reserve is made up of a taiga massif of great value, the only one in the west of the Middle Urals that has not yet been cut down. Scientists consider the Basegi Reserve to be the reference object of the taiga ecosystem. The Basegi Ridge was once a single massif, but for thousands of years the winds, cold air and water that acted on it broke it into a number of separate mountain peaks.

In our article, we invite you to take a look at the photo of the Basegi reserve in the Perm Territory.

Where to look for a reserve?

To get an idea of ​​where exactly "Basegi" - the nature reserve of the Perm Territory - is located, take a look at the map. Unique places are located in the Gremyachinsky and Gornozavodsky districts - 50 kilometers from Gornozavodsk and 43 km from Gremyachinsk (we are talking about the points of the reserve closest to the settlements).

The Basegi Ridge is located in the meridional direction (from north to south) with a length of about 25 km. In the northern part, it continues with a ridge of ridges with a transition to the highest peak of the Middle Urals - Oslyanka, whose height is 1119 m above sea level.

Where did the name come from? It is based on the now obsolete concept of "bass", denoting beauty and grace. In later times, this root disappeared from use, being replaced by the similar "kras" (from the word "red"). There are rivers of the same name (Small and Bolshaya Basegi), flowing westward along the slopes of the ridge and flowing into the Usva River. Until now, among linguists, the dispute about the primacy of the names of rivers or a ridge has not subsided.

Information from geography

The climate of the Basegi reserve is continental. It is characterized by warm summers and very severe and long winters, accompanied by heavy snowfalls and strong winds. During the summer, thunderstorms and rain are frequent.

The relief of the mountains is quite bizarre, formed under the influence of weathering and flowing waters. There are 11 small rivers on the territory of the reserve. Their length ranges from 3 to 10 km. Each is a fast mountain river with water as clear as crystal. The water level in them rises quite strongly during the period of heavy summer rains.

The two largest rivers in the reserve are called Vilva and Usva. The maximum width and depth of the first of them are 84 and 2 meters, respectively. Usva - 92 m wide, its depth in some places is more than two meters.

Inhabitants of icy mountain rivers are representatives of fish of the salmon family. We are talking about taimen and grayling. Their spawning takes place in the upper reaches of the mentioned rivers. There you can also meet gallian, burbot, char, sculpin.

View from above

If you look at the photo of the Basegi reserve, taken from a satellite, then its picture will be a dark green island, standing out among the surrounding cut taiga. In the middle of the massif rise the three highest treeless peaks. Signs of human activity include small rectangular logging sites, roads and power lines. They surround the ridge from different sides, sometimes getting close, but not crossing it.

This is due to the initiative of Permian scientists who, back in the 1940s, proposed to organize in these places a reserve of the West Ural taiga that had barely escaped from deforestation.

The Middle Urals has long been inhabited by people. From the northwestern side, it was mastered by the tribes of Khanty, Mansi, Komi and Nenets. These peoples lived mainly on reindeer herding, fishing and hunting. From the south side, the territory was developed by the Bashkirs and Tatars. Russians began to populate the mentioned places much later.

Reserve "Basegi": animals

Its fauna is rich and varied. The researchers talk about three amphibian species, 150 bird species, 51 mammal species and 2 reptile species. In the last half century, the territory has also begun to be settled by ungulates - reindeer, elk and roe deer are implied. With the onset of winter, moose leave the territory.

For some time now, even wild boars can be found here. The number of martens living in dark coniferous forests is quite large. In addition to them, there is an ermine and weasel, a lot of muskrats, minks and otters. Much less often you can meet a badger - mainly in winter in crooked forests and meadows. Huge brown bears are also found in protected forests.

Due to the small extent of the territory, there are few predators who need spacious hunting grounds. Only a couple of wolf families, a few foxes and lynxes can be attributed to permanent residents. In winter, wolves, like moose, often leave the reserve - they emigrate to the less snowy eastern slopes.

Plants of the reserve "Basegi"

Up to a height of 600 m, the reserve is a dense dark coniferous forest, which covers its entire lower part. It is mainly formed by fir and spruce. Occasionally there are admixtures of birch and cedar. The name of this belt is mountain-taiga.

Spruces here grow a special - Siberian species. Unlike common spruce and Finnish spruce, common in the west of Russia, they have small cones with curved, neat scales. On the lower parts of the slopes, the forest has a denser structure. Wetlands are often found.

When going uphill, the taiga thickets thin out, and there are more birch impurities. The ground vegetation is also changing. Lichens and mosses grow on the top of the Basegi Ridge, sometimes there are small areas of mountain tundra. Here you can find blueberries, bilberries and Siberian junipers.

Note to travelers

Let's move on to information relevant to tourists. It is forbidden to visit the Basegi Nature Reserve and follow the route without a guide. For those wishing to admire the untouched nature, there are several excursion routes.

One of them is "To the top of the Northern Basegi". The route under this name, lasting from 6 to 8 hours, has a length of 5.5 kilometers. In the summer, it costs 800 rubles to walk along it with a guide. for one person. In the warm season, visitors move along the route on foot, in winter - on skis. The route operates from June to September and from December to March. Groups are small, no more than 10-12 people.

The beginning of the route is near the checkpoint of the Basegi nature reserve. From it, tourists march on foot through the taiga forest for 3,700 meters. Further - about 300 m along a mountain meadow, then a short halt is made at the foot of the mountain, after which the ascent begins.

What is the most interesting

Tourists admire the majestic views of the Middle and Northern Basegi. Climbing to the top of the Northern Basegi is carried out along the ecological path passing along the eastern and southern slopes. Its length is one and a half kilometers. Passing it, tourists find themselves in the mountain-forest, subalpine and mountain-tundra belts. Then they go to the rocky part of the mountain.

With good visibility from the top at 952 m above sea level, you can admire the picturesque landscapes of the ridge and the endless panorama of the taiga. But even on a cloudy day, the view is no worse. If the cloudiness is low, the clouds literally surround tourists from all sides.

On the tour, travelers get acquainted with the change of vertical belts, a variety of relief forms and types of vegetation. Much attention is paid to relic, rare and endemic plants. During a fascinating journey, tourists will be told about the fauna of the Basegi reserve and interesting facts related to the animals of the taiga. Having descended from the mountain, travelers will have the opportunity to relax on a special platform located near the visitor center.

Route number 2

Another route is called "To the North Basegi" and operates in winter. Its cost is similar. Length - 4 km. It is assumed that tourists ski the route for approximately 8 hours. The group is recruited by the number of no more than 10 or 15 people. The route operates from December to March.

Its beginning is in the same place, at the checkpoint to the Basegi nature reserve. Delivers tourists there, usually on snowmobiles. After a little rest, they move on skis through the snowy forest. The harsh beauty of the winter protected nature leaves completely different unforgettable impressions. Before starting the ecological trail, you can make a stop and admire the stunning view of the snow-capped mountains. The untouched white cover is crossed only by chains of traces of four-legged inhabitants of the reserve.

The guide draws the attention of tourists to the clues of nature, teaches them to recognize the traces of wild animals. After that, travelers return to the starting point, to the checkpoint cordon. After resting and warming up in the house, they have the opportunity to go on snowmobiles outside the reserve to the Usba River and go ice fishing there.

If the temperature is below -20⁰С (or in the event of a snowstorm), the route is canceled until the return to more suitable weather conditions.

Route number 3

Another route is called "To the South Basegi". With a length of 4 km and a duration of 4 to 6 hours, it will cost one tourist in the summer season, along with the services of a guide, 500-800 rubles. No more than 15 people are also recruited in a group. Traveling along the route is from the entrance to the Basegi reserve near cordon number 96. Here the mountains are still far away. Tourists have to walk about 3 kilometers along the forest path. Along the way, dense taiga thickets alternate with light forests and bizarre rocky outcrops. Then - ascent along the ecological path, laid along the eastern slope of the South Basega.

How to get to the reserve

The city of Gremyachinsk is located at a distance of about 250 km from Perm. From it to the territory of the reserve - another 90 km. 60 of them can be driven on an asphalt road. Further, the path runs along forest roads of poor cross-country ability. Sometimes there is a ford across the river, and it is not easy for tourists to get there without special transport.

To visit the reserve requires permission from the administration. Having received a pass, you can simultaneously order the services of spending the night in the house and meals in the available cafes.

Accommodations

In the buffer zone of the reserve there is a place specially equipped for tourists. For a small fee (about 200 rubles per person per day), you have the opportunity to set up a tent there and use a fire pit with firewood, a dining area with a table under a canopy, and a toilet. Accommodation in a single tent, equipped on the territory of the reserve with a similar set of services, will cost 800 rubles. per day per person.

A tourist who decides to stay in the conditions of an arranged cordon will have to pay 1200 rubles per day. To get into the house located on the territory of the reserve, you should use the administration pass.
