The Seven Giants Of The Urals


In the northern Ural Mountains, in the Troitsko-Pechorsky District, seven giants majestically rise. Seven stone colossi that, in the middle of nowhere, seem to have made a stop in their journey to contemplate the scenery from the top of a high plateau. The site of the rock towers is called 'Man-Pupu-Nyer', also known as '7 strong men.'

With heights varying from 30 to 42 meters, these seven moais, that nature has molded during more than 200 million years, form one of the most impressive and magic geological legacies on the planet.
