Reserves and specially protected places of the Perm region. Basegi State Reserve, Perm Territory: photo, flora and fauna of the park Presentation of specially protected natural areas of the Perm Territory

Luv-Ner (Tulymsky stone) - the highest point of the reserve and everything Perm Territory, whose height is 1469.6 m. There are many different karst forms: funnels, caves and blind valleys with a closed lower end. The extreme northern border of the reserve - the top of Mount Saklaimsori-Chakhl (1128.1 m) - is the only watershed in the Urals of the basins of the three great rivers: Kama, Pechora and Ob. On the tops of many mountain ranges there are amazing natural sculptures - remnants rocks. The most famous are Ern-Pupy, Munin-Tump, Devil's finger. There are also waterfalls up to 9 m high, often forming cascades with intermediate ledges.

The nature of these parts is not accustomed to spoiling a person. In some areas of the Vishera Reserve, snow covers almost 200 days a year, and in summer the temperature never rises above +30 °C.

History of creation

Many scientists unanimously agree that a truly unique place has been chosen for the organization of the Vishera Reserve. Here lay famous way to Siberia from Cherdyn through the upper reaches of the Vishera to Lozva.

In 1970, through the efforts of the head of the regional hunting inspection, Viktor Stepanovich Mychelkin, the Vishersky hunting reserve was organized, which became a springboard for the future reserve. In 1982, the Basegi Nature Reserve and its Vishera branch were established in the Perm Region, surpassing the rest of the reserve in area.

Vegetable world

The flora of the Vishera Reserve includes 1147 plant species. Of these, 334 are lichens, 270 are bryophytes, and the rest are higher vascular plants. Mountain tundras are located at an altitude of 800-1000 m. There are abundant thickets of dwarf birch (Betula papa), rich berries of cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), and blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum). In the driest places, dwarf forests of Siberian juniper (Juniperus sibirica) grow. Relic plants and Ural endemics are found on the rocks: Ural lagothis (Lagotis uralensis), Ural kachim (Gypsophila uralensis), Ruprecht's goatfish (Scorzonera ruprechtiana), pink radiola (Rhodiola rosea).

The most interesting berry is the common blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum). It is called swamp blueberry, marsh or undersized. In common parlance, this berry has even more unusual names: water drinker, cabbage roll, gonobob, fool and drunken berry.

Animal world

36 species of mammals, 155 species of birds, 2 species of amphibians and 17 species of fish inhabit the territory of the Vishera Reserve. Brown bear (Ursus arctos), sable (Martes zibellina), stoat (Mustela erminea), wolf (Canis lupus), fox (Vulpex vulpex), elk ( Alces alces). The sable population is considered the largest in the Perm Territory.

The rare bird species of the reserve include the osprey (Pandion haliaetus), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and black stork (Ciconia nigra).

Common fish include Siberian grayling (Thymallus arcticus), common minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus), burbot (Lota lota), common sculpin (Cottus gobio), common char (Barbatula barbatula) and others.

Butterfly Mnemosyne, or black Apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne), which is found in the Vishera Reserve, is listed in the Red Book of Russia. She owes her name to the ancient Greek goddess of memory, the mother of nine muses - Mnemosyne.

The Vishera river basin is a natural deposit of diamonds, quartzite and rock crystal. The word "diamond" is of Greek origin and means "indestructible". It is a mineral, an allotropic form of carbon, characterized by the highest strength. The very first diamond in Russia was found on July 4, 1829 by Pavel Popov in the Perm province of the Urals. In 1814, Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday finally proved that diamond is a chemical relative of coal and graphite. A cut diamond (brilliant) has been considered one of the most expensive gemstones for many centuries. In addition, there are also natural deposits rock crystal - pure natural silicon dioxide. Crystals ranging in size from 3 to 5 cm are especially valued. In ancient China and Japan, perfectly regular balls were made from rock crystal, and the mineral itself was considered the frozen breath of a dragon. In Zoroastrianism, it was believed that the sky was made of crystal.

Even sophisticated tourists are amazed by the ancient splendor of the nature of the Perm Territory. Here one of the oldest mountains on the planet rises - the Urals, and the Kama River flows, the symbol of these places, the largest tributary of the Volga.

There are 325 protected natural objects on the territory of the Perm region. The most notable of them are the state nature reserves Basegi and Vishera.

Vishera Reserve

The reserve is spread on the western slopes of the Northern Urals on an area of ​​241.2 thousand hectares and occupies the 4th largest in Europe. It is relatively young, as it was created in 1991. What is the uniqueness of the Vishera Reserve? Here is the highest ridge of the Western Urals and the famous Tulym stone almost 1500 meters high.

This predetermined the mountain-taiga landscape of the area, which is replete with crystal mountain lakes, cascades of miniature waterfalls, many caves and grottoes. The bowels of the reserve hide not only rock crystal and diamonds, but also gold and silver. In addition, in the north of the Vishera Reserve, Mount Saklaimsori-Chakhl rises, the top of which is a unique watershed of the basins of three largest rivers at once: the Kama, Ob and Pechora.

And the reserve itself is crossed for 150 km by the Vishera River, which originates in the mountain peaks. On its slopes one can find larch groves, although in general spruce-fir forests predominate here. In total, almost 500 species of plants grow in these places, many of which are quite rare.

Also extremely rich animal world this protected area. live here brown bears, moose, pine martens, sables, and the European mink, which is also very rare in the Kama region. Sometimes here you can even see the inhabitants of the tundra - arctic foxes, reindeer and white partridges. On the banks of the rivers, one can easily meet a beaver, a muskrat or an otter that feeds on grayling, which is found in abundance in the local waters. Ornithologists will not be bored either. In the Visher region, colorful cranes, black storks, and colorful blackbirds feel great. There are even golden eagles and white-tailed eagles listed in the Red Book.

Such diversity became possible because the reserve is located in hard-to-reach places, which have been preserved almost in their original form.

The richest and indescribably beautiful landscape attracts a stream of tourists with enviable constancy. Therefore, in the most picturesque places of the Vishera Reserve, parking lots and taiga bases are equipped for travelers to rest and spend the night.

Tourists are offered a variety of ecological routes, the most popular of which are the tour "Along the Vishera Ranges", which includes climbing the Tulymsky stone and rafting along the Vishera River, and a hike to the Chuvalsky Range. Tourists can also choose to hike to the waterfalls of the Tabornaya River.

Reserve Basegi

In the highest part of the western spurs of the Middle Urals, there is the Basegi reserve, which is named after the Basegi mountain range.

The name itself, which translates as "beautiful, wonderful," indicates that these untouched places can amaze the imagination of even an experienced traveler. Bizarre mountainous relief, consisting of mountain ranges, hills, sharp comb-shaped peaks, separated by hollows. Huge stones and boulders rise on the steep slopes, some of which reach a diameter of 3.5 meters.

11 fast-moving mountain rivers, the largest of which are Usva and Vilva.

The forests here are typical for the Middle Urals - fir-spruce with an admixture of birch.

Here you can meet such a landscape phenomenon as crooked forest. These are bent, pressed to the ground from constant winds, undersized trees. Spruces and birches, cedars and mountain ash bizarrely spread between moss-covered boulders. A truly unforgettable sight!

The reserve boasts 700 species of plants, 50 of which were classified as rare.

The taiga zone determined the composition of the animal world of these places. Forest lemmings, foxes, ermines are found here. There is a lynx. You can often see roe deer, elk and bear. The number of pine marten, a typical predator of dark coniferous forests, is significant.

The rivers are full of grayling, minnow, burbot. There is even a rare bottom fish - sculpin, which is listed in the Red Book.

The Basegi Reserve was founded in 1982 and for many years has been offering tourists two hiking trails "To the Northern Basegu" - winter and summer.

Travelers go through them in small groups of 10-15 people.

The route is laid out in such a way that tourists can visit mountain meadows - one of the most picturesque places in these parts.

Journal correspondent

Question to a tourism specialist: “How are things going with tourism, and are there any prospects for its development?”

Director of the reserve: The territory is remote from industrial centers, difficult to access - all this contributed to the preservation of large areas of forests in their original form, which have never seen a lumberjack's ax. There are no signs of pollution on the soil and in the air, the rivers have kept crystal clean water. For these reasons, the reserve has good prospects for the development of tourism. Currently, bases and parking lots are equipped in picturesque places. An ecological visiting center is being created in the central estate.

Group 2 (morning broadcast with Timofey Bazhenov, contacted the director of the reserve and his assistants).

About natural conditions:

On the western spurs of the middle Urals is the first nature reserve in the Perm region. He is already 29 years old. This is the only part of the taiga that has almost completely survived from cutting. It got its name in honor of the Basegi mountain range, / which means beautiful /. The territory of the reserve has a well-pronounced mountainous relief. Some peaks reach heights of 800-900m above sea level. There are 8 rivers flowing on the territory of the reserve. The largest are Usva and Vilva. All rivers are mountainous.

Vegetation story.

Most of the reserve is occupied by fir-spruce forests typical of the Middle Urals with a small admixture of birch. When you climb the slope of the mountains, the light forest turns into crooked forest - a bizarrely bent, shortened, creeping forest of birch, spruce, mountain ash, cedar. The fantasy of nature, the constant wind forced the trees to cling to the ground, spread over stones and moss. On the heights of 600m, the bulk of rare plants are concentrated: ferns, Perm anemone, Caucasian sedge.

Here there are plants listed in the Red Book of the Urals:

Peony deviating /Maryin root/;

Goose bow.

On the very tops of the mountains are the most picturesque, valuable and vulnerable parts of the reserve. Berries are found in the reserve: blueberries, lingonberries, blueberries, cloudberries. 700 species of plants grow in the reserve, of which 50 species are classified as rare, and 2: shiverekia podolskaya and calypso bulbous are listed in the Red Book of Russia.

Animal story.

The fauna of the reserve is typical for the taiga zone. Red and common voles, sable, long-eared owl, forest lemmings live in the mountains. In the forests are common: elk, bear, fox, lynx, white hare, squirrel. Often there is a marten, weasel, ermine.

Quite rare in the reserve: flying squirrel, black polecat, otter. Rarely in winter are traces of sable, wolf and wolverine, badger, roe deer and wild boar. The European mink is listed in the Red Book. There are many birds in the forest: capercaillie, black grouse, hazel grouse, titmouse, raven, nutcracker, hawk owl. The largest bird of the Urals, the eagle owl, is rarely seen. Rare birds listed in the Red Book live in the reserve: golden eagle, peregrine falcon, black stork.

Minnow, grayling, burbot, perch are found in the rivers. And small bottom fish - sculpin, is listed in the Red Book of Russia. The most rare and poorly studied species in the reserve are bats.

3 group(a story about the rivers of Prikamye and Bereznikovsky - Vodozabor.)

On the air of the news "Perm Territory"

Rivers of the Perm Territory

– There are 29 thousand of them in total, and the total length exceeds 90 thousand kilometers, which is a little less than a quarter between the Moon and the Earth.

With such indicators, the Perm Territory undoubtedly ranks first in the Urals.

The length of large rivers in the Perm Territory

the biggest and famous river Perm region is Kama.

The Kama is considered a tributary of the Volga, but all Permians know the opposite fact, in favor of which scientists also speak. The name of the largest in the Perm region speaks for itself - “ kam” means big, “ wa”- water.

Many legends have always been associated with the rivers of the Perm Territory. One of them is dedicated to the symbol of the Perm Territory, the Kama River:

“In ancient times, the daughter of the sun god Rada and the almighty Kryshen had a son - the god of love Kama. Kama grew up into a beautiful young man and once met a young beauty - the goddess of love Oka. Soon the lovers got married. In the midst of the wedding feast, the young suddenly argued - whose love is stronger. We argued for a long time, it was hot. They couldn't decide. And then Kama invited his beloved to go out into the open field and shoot arrows at each other. Whose arrow first hits the heart of another - that love is stronger. And the young Kama and Oka went out into the open field, and pulled the string of their bows and fired arrows at each other. But so great was their love that both arrows simultaneously pierced young hearts. Kama and Oka fell to the ground and died of love. Streams flowed from their hearts and became rivers - Kama and Oka.

However, in addition to Kama, there are many other picturesque rivers. These are swift mountain streams, and slowly stretching, deep and shallow rivers with clear water. For centuries, the rivers of the Perm Territory served not only as a water resource. At a time when there was no air or rail communication, rivers were the main roads throughout Russia, including the Urals.

The main transport artery, the foremother of the Gornozavodsk civilization was Chusovaya river. It was used to transport first the Ural salt, and then the metal, thus supplying the whole of Russia.

Every spring, thousands of barges loaded with heavy metal broke through the dangerous rocks "fighters" and rapids. Not everyone reached their destination. So, in the spring of 1877, 23 barges sank on one of these dangerous rocks, the Robber rock. In 1878, the river began to lose its "transport" value. This is due to the fact that it was this year that the mining branch was launched railway. Today, only former structures remotely resemble the active use of the river.

Many poems and songs are dedicated to the rivers of the Perm Territory. beautiful Vishera river in the golden light of the autumn sun.

The Usva River with magnificent views, stones of bizarre shapes, is attractive for summer holidays.

It seems that everyone who loves and respects nature will find in the Perm region " its” river. In winter and summer, the rivers attract a huge number of fishermen. Extreme sports enthusiasts can try to tame the forces of nature with kite- kite on the ice of winter rivers, in the summer to ride on water skis, jet skis.

There are many yachting enthusiasts in the Perm Territory. Yacht regattas are held in Perm every year.

Many people come to the rivers just to swim. Many, however, come from other regions, to regional health resorts, in order to experience healing properties waters of the rivers of the Perm region.

But perhaps the most popular type of recreation on the numerous rivers of the Kama region is alloy . Great amount tourists, starting from the first days of May and until late autumn, go on rafting trips using catamarans and kayaks. And this is great, because it is not at all necessary to go to distant lands for recreation - there are a lot of water beauties in the Perm Territory.

Presentation by a water specialist

Drinking water, the city of Berezniki is provided by 2 water intakes - Izver and Usolka. They are located in a forest belt at a distance of 40-50 kilometers from the city. Water is extracted from Artesian wells with a depth of 30 to 100 meters. It is raised by deep pumps.

There are three ways to clean water: chlorination, azonation, quartzization. In the city of Berezniki, at water intakes, it is chlorinated to disarm various bacteria and microbes. Due to the fact that the pipes are old, sand, dirt, and rust can get into the water intake along with the water. Further, through pipes from the water intake, water enters the counter-reservoirs, from which water is further supplied to the houses with the help of pumps. Pumps are needed to maintain pressure and so that water reaches the consumer, that is, the residents of our city.

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 - 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 forest, 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 spread out in Gremyachinsky and Gornozavodsky districts - 50 kilometers from Gornozavodsk and 43 km from Gremyachinsk (we are talking about the closest to settlements points of the reserve).

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 Big Basegi), flowing into westbound 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 typical for him warm summer and a very severe and long winter, accompanied by heavy snowfalls and strong winds. IN summer period frequent thunderstorms and rain.

The relief of the mountains is rather 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.

Settled by people Middle Ural long time ago. 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 period 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 grow here 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
