The mountains of the Chelyabinsk region are a mountain system connecting the East European and West Siberian plains. The rows, which are located in parallel, form a certain set of mountain peaks, which they called the Ural Range. By geographical location, the Ural Range originates from Novaya Zemlya, has a length of up to the Kara Sea and reaches the Ural-Caspian semi-desert. On the area of the entire length of the ridge, it is impossible to observe a uniform picture. Therefore, this natural phenomenon is considered to be unique in its own way. The eastern side of the Ural Mountains has become the border between the two states, namely between Europe and Asia.
The mountains of the Chelyabinsk region are considered the oldest around the globe. Each stone carries the burden of history, because it was they who saw the birth of the Earth, the development of civilizations and are silent about those riddles that people still have not been able to find out. The evidence of this great silence is the remains of some stones.

This is not a complete list of mountain ranges of the Chelyabinsk region. The main ones will be presented in this article.
The formation of the Ural ranges
In the eastern side of the Ural Mountains there is a small hills. Here you can watch the famous Karagai mountains and Kuibas Upland. It is these objects that all children study in geography classes, but, of course, it is much more interesting to see all this Majesty live.
The mountains of the Chelyabinsk region of the western region are composed of rocks such as limestone and other very soft mountain minerals. The mountains of the western region are rich in all kinds of karst formations. In these places you can observe small craters and even large caves. These formations appeared due to water, it was she who paved these paths in soft limestone rocks. On the banks of the river there is a wonderful miracle of nature - cliffs, which are washed by water and wind blows. Thanks to this effect, the breeds have acquired funny shapes that attract people's attention. The height of these cliffs can reach 100 m.
The highest mountain of the Chelyabinsk region
The highest mountain in the Chelyabinsk region is the top of the Nurgush mountain range. The peak is called Big Nurgush. The height of the mountain is 1406 m.
In addition to the highest mountains in the Chelyabinsk region, the longest ridge is Urenga. Its length is 65 kilometers. In addition, 10 peaks are located on the ridge, the height of which reaches 1000 meters.
Mount Pencil
Surprising is the fact that in the Chelyabinsk region there is the oldest mountain on the entire planet, which has the funny name Pencil. It is located in the Kusinsky district. For many, this fact is surprising. Chelyabinsk is truly a discovery in this area.
Pencil - the oldest mountain in the world.
Scientists conducted a large number of studies and came to the conclusion that Mount Pencil (Chelyabinsk Region) is more than 4.2 billion years old. For example: if you compare with the age of the Earth, which is 4.6 billion years old, the mountain is really considered the oldest.
Naturally, at the beginning of its existence, the mountain was much higher. Such a huge amount of time, water, winds, the sun, in the end, production played a role. The mountain has become much lower, now its height is only 610 meters. Of course, it is a great success that Mount Karandash (Chelyabinsk Region) has survived to our time and scientists have the opportunity to study its age. Indeed, most mountains of the same age have long been destroyed, and there is no trace of them.
Unique rocks
The mountain itself is made of incredibly rare and ancient stone. It is impossible to meet this breed in other parts of the globe, so the area is unique in its kind. The composition of the rock resembles the mantle of the Earth, it is very difficult to meet such a phenomenon. Another fact is interesting that there is no organic matter in the composition, this phenomenon is inherent only to this mountain, therefore it is sometimes considered cosmic. This mountain has become a silent witness to all the events that the Earth suffered in the long-suffering plan.
It is also surprising that most residents of the city of Chelyabinsk do not even suspect that they live next to such a monument of nature and history. Moreover, most of the inhabitants of Russia do not know about such a miracle of nature. But information about this grief is available to everyone, scientists have published all the research and scientific articles.
Climbing Mount Pencil is a great happiness, because from its height an incredible view opens up where you can watch other mountains and ridges, the sight is worth attention.
Interestingly, there are several versions of the oldest mountains in the world. But most scientists converged on the Ural Mountains, and this version was adopted as official for everyone. Therefore, in schools they teach it. The inhabitants of Ancient Russia considered the Ural Mountains to be an ordinary stone, calling them so. Not so long ago, similar mountains were found in Canada, which in their age practically correspond to Mount Pencil. Scientists of Canada hurried up with a conclusion and made their peaks the most ancient in the world, but this is their deep delusion.
Mount Cherry
The top of this mountain is also located in the Chelyabinsk region. Namely, in a small village called Vishnevogorsk. The population of the town is small - about 5 thousand people. The northern peak of the mountain is called Karavai. It is located directly in the city. At the foot of the mountain are mines and adits.
Magnificent lakes formed in the quarries of the mountain. The only negative phenomenon was that some industries began to use these lakes for waste disposal, which has a very negative impact on the environmental situation. In winter, a ski resort is equipped on the slopes of the mountain, where you can have a great time.
Mount Cherry got its name thanks to the wild cherry growing at its foot. A huge number of berries are harvested here annually.
