There are 103 nature reserves in Russia.

The first nature reserve in Russia - the Barguzinsky Nature Reserve - was founded on January 11, 1917 on the territory of Buryatia.

Basegi Nature Reserve - state nature reserve in the Perm region. It was founded on October 1, 1982.

Basegi Flora and fauna The flora of the reserve includes more than 520 species of plants, including over 45 rare ones. The reserve is home to 51 species of mammals, more than 150 species of birds, 2 species of reptiles, 17 species of fish and 3 species of amphibians. The fauna is typical for the taiga zone, but Basegi is home to 17 species of plants not found anywhere else in the world, 14 relicts of the pre-glacial and post-glacial periods, 5 relics ice age, 3 plant species are listed in the Red Book of Russia. 24 species are included in the Red Book of the Middle Urals.

Basegi Nature Reserve
The territory of the reserve occupies the Basegi ridge, located in the highest part of the western macroslope of the Middle Urals, in 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 Urals.

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

The most large rivers reserve - Usva and Vilva. The greatest width of the first of them is 92 m, the depth is from 30 cm (on the rifts) to 2.2 m. 11 small rivers flow through the reserve, their width is from 3 to 10 m. All of them are typically mountainous, with a significant slope of the riverbeds , high flow speed (from 3 to 5 and even 8 m/s). The Bolshaya Porozhnaya, Maly and Bolshoi Baseg and Lyalim rivers flowing from the western slope of the ridge flow strictly to the west, flowing into the river. Usvu.

The Porozhnaya and Grayling rivers flow from south to north and are also tributaries of the Usva. The Korostelevka River with numerous tributaries originates in the intermountain basin 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, occurs not in one wave, but with 4-5 rises of water. During the period of heavy rainfall in mid- and late 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 on the territory of the reserve. The flying squirrel is occasionally found in tall conifers and deciduous forests reserve. The chipmunk is very rare in the reserve and lives in river valleys in areas with cedar trees. The squirrel, one of the main fur-bearing commercial animals in the Perm region, is common in all forests, with the exception of purely deciduous ones.

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

The ungulates in the reserve include elk, roe deer and reindeer. The pine marten is a typical predator of old dark coniferous forests reserve, mainly cluttered areas with hollow trees. Its numbers in the reserve are significant. Weasels and stoats are common and found throughout various habitats. Siberian weasel, mink and otter are numerous. The badger is rare and prefers open, dry areas and forest edges. In winter, wolverines have been spotted in the reserve, and wolves occasionally visit. The fox lives in the meadows and crooked forests. Brown bear and lynx are common in the forest belt.

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 in this area); 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 in its transitional nature from the European type to the Siberian one. The reserve is an important link in a single chain of 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). There are numerous karst forms on the territory of the reserve - sinkholes, caves, blind valleys.

Expressed in vegetation altitudinal zone- from the middle taiga spruce-fir forests to mountain tundras and cold mountain deserts. The reserve is home to the largest population of sable in the Perm region, brown bear and wild reindeer are common. Rare birds include osprey, golden eagle, white-tailed eagle, and black stork.

Even in remote areas of the Middle Urals there are practically no places left untouched by man. One of the few unique opportunities to see a piece pristine nature- visit state reserve"Basegi", whose location is the Perm region. Its creation was conceived with the aim of preserving the enormous tracts of Central Ural fir and spruce forests growing in the area of ​​​​the foothills of the ridge of the same name.

The forest zone of the reserve consists of a hugely valuable taiga massif, the only one in the west of the Middle Urals that has not yet been subjected to deforestation. Scientists consider the Basegi Nature Reserve to be a reference object for the taiga ecosystem. The Basegi ridge was once a single massif, but over millennia the winds, cold air and water affecting it split it into a number of separate mountain peaks.

In our article we invite you to look at the photo of the Basegi nature reserve in the Perm region.

Where to look for a reserve?

To get an idea of ​​where exactly Basegi, a nature reserve in 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 closest to settlements points of the reserve).

The Basegi ridge is located in the meridional direction (from north to south) with a length of approximately 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 "basa", 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 (Maly and Bolshoi Basegi), flowing westward along the slopes of the ridge and flowing into the Usva River. There is still a debate among linguists about the primacy of the names of rivers or ridges.

Information from geography

The climate of the Basegi reserve is continental. It is typical for him warm summer and a very harsh and long winter, accompanied by heavy snowfalls and strong winds. IN summer period 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 in 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 significantly during the period of heavy summer rains.

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

Inhabitants of the ice mountain rivers- representatives of fish of the salmon family. It's about about taimen and grayling. Their spawning occurs in the upper reaches of the mentioned rivers. There you can also find galyan, burbot, char, and sculpin goby.

View from above

If you look at a photo of the Basegi nature reserve taken from a satellite, the picture will be of a dark green island, standing out among the surrounding deforested 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 Perm scientists, who proposed back in the 1940s to organize in these places a reserve for the Western Ural taiga, which had barely escaped deforestation.

The Middle Urals have been inhabited by people for a long time. From the northwestern side it was developed by the Khanty, Mansi, Komi and Nenets tribes. These peoples existed mainly through reindeer herding, fishing and hunting. WITH south side The development of the territory was carried out by the Bashkirs and Tatars. Russians began to populate the mentioned places much later.

Basegi Nature Reserve: animals

Its fauna is rich and diverse. Researchers talk about three species of amphibians, 150 species of birds, 51 species of mammals and 2 species of reptiles. In the last half century, the territory has also begun to be inhabited by ungulates - this means reindeer, elk and roe deer. With the onset of winter, moose leave the territory.

For some time now you can even find wild boars here. The number of martens living in dark coniferous forests is quite large. In addition to them, there are ermine and weasel, many muskrats, minks and otters. It is much less common to find a badger - mainly in winter period in crooked forests and meadows. Huge brown bears are also found in the protected forests.

Due to the small extent of the territory, there are few predators that require spacious hunting grounds. The permanent inhabitants include only a couple of wolf families, several foxes and lynxes. In winter, wolves, like moose, often leave the reserve - they emigrate to the less snowy eastern slopes.

Plants of the Basegi Nature Reserve

Up to an altitude 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.

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

As you go uphill, the taiga thickets thin out and there are more birch admixtures. Ground vegetation is also changing. At the top of the Basegi ridge, lichens and mosses grow, and 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 prohibited to visit the Basegi nature reserve and walk along the route without a guide. For those who want to admire the untouched nature, there are several excursion routes.

One of them is “To the top of North Basegi”. The route under this name, lasting from 6 to 8 hours, has a length of 5.5 kilometers. In summer, walking along it with a guide costs 800 rubles. for one person. In the warm season, visitors travel 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 here, tourists march on foot through the taiga forest for 3,700 meters. Next - about 300 m through a mountain meadow, then at the foot of the mountain there is a short rest, after which the ascent begins.

What's most interesting

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

Provided there is good visibility from the top 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 cloud cover is low, clouds literally surround tourists from all sides.

On the excursion, travelers get acquainted with the change of vertical zones, the variety of relief forms and types of vegetation. Much attention is paid to relict, rare and endemic plants. During an exciting journey, tourists will be told about the fauna of the Basegi reserve and interesting facts associated with taiga animals. Having descended from the mountain, travelers will have the opportunity to relax at a special area located near the visitor center.

Route No. 2

Another route is called “To North Basegi” and operates in winter. Its cost is similar. Length - 4 km. Hikers are expected to ski the route in approximately 8 hours. The group consists of no more than 10 or 15 people. The route operates from December to March.

It starts there, at the checkpoint to the Basegi nature reserve. It delivers tourists there, usually on snowmobiles. Having rested a little, they move on skis through the snowy forest. The harsh beauty of winter protected nature leaves a completely different unforgettable impression. Before starting the ecological trail, you can stop and admire the stunning view of the snow-capped mountains. The untouched white cover is crossed only by chains of traces of the four-legged inhabitants of the reserve.

The guide draws tourists' attention to nature's clues and teaches them to recognize the tracks of wild animals. After which, 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 - 20⁰C (or in the event of a snowstorm), the route is canceled until more suitable weather conditions return.

Route No. 3

Another route is called “To South Basegi”. 4 km long and lasting from 4 to 6 hours, it will cost one tourist in the summer season, along with the services of a guide, 500-800 rubles. There are also no more than 15 people in the group. Travel along the route starts from the entrance to the Basegi nature reserve next to cordon number 96. Here it is still a long way to the mountains. Tourists will have to walk about 3 kilometers along a forest path. Along the way, dense taiga thickets alternate with open forests and bizarre rocky outcrops. Then - climb along the ecological trail laid along the eastern slope of South Basegi.

How to get to the reserve

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

To visit the reserve, permission from the administration is required. Having received the pass, you can simultaneously order overnight accommodation in the lodge and meals in the existing cafes.

Accommodations

In the buffer zone of the reserve there is a place specially designed for tourists. For a small fee (about 200 rubles per day per person), you have the opportunity to pitch 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 set up on the territory of the reserve with a similar range of services will cost 800 rubles. per day per person.

A tourist who decides to stay in a cordon will have to pay 1,200 rubles per day. To get to the house located on the territory of the reserve, you must use an administration pass.

The reserves of the Perm Territory, the list of which consists of two state natural reserves and “Vishersky”, are among the especially valuable and protected areas of the Urals.

"Basegi"

This reserve was formed in 1982. It was created in order to preserve and study a variety of animals and vegetable world, as well as spruce-fir forests, which are located on the slopes of the Basegi ridge.

Nature reserves occupy vast territories. "Basegi" are located on the western macroslope of the Main Ural Range. Its main line stretches along the Basegi ridge, which consists of three separate mountain peaks: Northern Basegi, Middle and Southern. The highest point is Mount Middle Baseg, which rises to 994.7 meters. The 30 km long mountain range is located between the Usva and Vilva rivers, which belong to the Kama basin.

Nature

State reserves of the Perm region have preserved untouched nature. The Basegi Range consists of micaceous quartzites, phyllites and other metamorphic rocks of Ordovician age. It is the only place in the Middle Urals untouched by deforestation of the taiga. "Basegi" is a kind of shelter for many species of animals and plants in the region. 27 species of plants and mushrooms growing on its territory are listed in the Red Book. Taiga forest species such as fir and spruce grow on the slopes of the ridge. Mountain tundra, stone placers and subalpine open forests formed on the peaks.

The Basegi ridge area has very picturesque nature. In the local dialect, the word "basque" is used to describe something beautiful and wonderful. According to V. Dahl, the word means “decoration”; apparently, the name of this mountain range came from it. Nearby was the famous Mount Oslyanka, which is the highest point in the Middle Urals.

Tour of the reserve

The reserves of the Perm region attract with their bewitching virgin nature. There are no landholdings or leased plots, as well as residents permanently living on the territory of the reserve. One person lives in the security zone. During the warm period, on a rotational basis, 8 cordons and a training and research base located on the territory of the Basegi Nature Reserve are visited.

The total area occupied by individual residential premises is less than one hectare. In the northern and southern parts of the reserve there are two. One-time passes issued by the administration of the reserve allow you to take a tour of the reserve accompanied by government inspectors.

Vishera Reserve

In the upper reaches of the Vishera River, in the northeast of the Kama region, one of the largest reserves Europe is a land with untouched nature, which is full of fast rivers, taiga forests, picturesque mountains, fraught with a great many fascinating secrets.

This reserve is a real giant, it stretched from south to north for 90 km, was 30 miles wide and occupied about 1.5% of the land of the Perm Territory.

Attractions

• In the upper reaches of the Vishera grows a standard (never been cut down) dark coniferous taiga forest. In this way, the reserves of the Perm Territory are similar to each other.
• The Northern Urals are home to unique, picturesque mountain landscapes that include dozens of unique natural monuments.
• The mountains border several geographical zones, where you can see a variety of animals and plants of European, Siberian and northern origin.
• The reserves of the Perm region are natural reserves for valuable species of flora and fauna. In the Vishera Nature Reserve, wild fluffy sable, Siberian taimen, sprawling cedar and other rare species of the European part of Russia are protected.
• This land is interesting in historical and ethnographic terms. It is the last region in Europe where representatives live ancient people Mansi.

Natural landscapes

The reserves of the Perm region received their names from their location. The beautiful Vishera stretches like a blue ribbon; it is barely noticeable among the centuries-old spruces, cedars and fir trees. Slowly and importantly, gurgling merrily on the rifts, it carries its cold waters towards Kama.

In summer, on a clear day, from the heights of the bald mountain peaks a wonderful view opens up for tens of kilometers around. The majestic beauty of the local nature is immediately acutely felt. It’s even hard to imagine that there, far away, cities with a population of millions and busy highways are noisy. Here nothing and no one disturbs the pristine peace. The silent peaks of mountain ranges rise. From a distance, it seems that their stone placers consist of small pieces of rubble. But in fact, they are composed of huge boulders, exceeding two meters in diameter. First unpretentious plants, mastering the harsh mountain peaks, are kurumniki, they are covered with a multi-colored crust of lichens.

To the north stretches the endless mountain tundra. On a soft blanket of mosses, bushy lichens and dwarf birch shoots human footprints are much less common than the hoof prints of the majestic owner of these latitudes - the wild reindeer.

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

The nature of these regions is not used to pampering people. In some areas of the Vishera Nature Reserve, there is snow cover for almost 200 days a year, and in summer the temperature never rises above +30 °C.

History of creation

Many scientists unanimously agree that it was really chosen for the organization of the Vishera Nature Reserve. unique place. The famous route to Siberia from Cherdyn through the upper reaches of the Vishera to Lozva ran here.

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, which are larger in area than the rest of the reserve.

Vegetable world

The flora of the Vishera Nature Reserve includes 1,147 plant species. Of these, 334 are lichens, 270 are bryophytes, and the rest are higher vascular plants. At an altitude of 800-1000 m there are mountain tundras. There are abundant thickets of dwarf birch (Betula papa), rich cloudberry berries (Rubus chamaemorus), crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus), blueberries (Vaccinium uliginosum). In the driest places, dwarf forests of Siberian juniper (Juniperus sibirica) grow. On the rocks there are relict plants and Ural endemics: Lagotis uralensis, Gypsophila uralensis, Ruprecht's goat (Scorzonera ruprechtiana), Rhodiola rosea.

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

Animal world

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

TO rare species The reserve's birds 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 loach (Barbatula barbatula), etc.

The mnemosyne butterfly, or black Apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne), which is found in the Vishera Nature Reserve, is listed in the Red Book of Russia. It owes its name ancient greek goddess memory, mother of nine muses - Mnemosyne.

The Vishera River basin is a natural deposit of diamonds, quartzites 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. For many centuries, a cut diamond has been considered one of the most expensive precious stones. In addition, there are also natural deposits of rock crystal - pure natural silicon dioxide. Crystals measuring from 3 to 5 cm are especially valued. Ancient China and Japan, they made perfectly regular balls 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.

Information for visitors

Reserve mode

Visiting the reserve is possible only after receiving special permission from the administration. Hunting, fishing, collecting herbariums, insects, minerals and any other collections is prohibited here. All finds must be submitted to the reserve management.

How to get there

And in turn, one gets to the regional center in two ways: by train to Solikamsk and then by bus (100 km); by train to Perm and then by bus (300 km). The distance from Krasnovishersk to the buffer zone of the reserve (150 km) can be covered by a rotational vehicle.

Where to stay

There are two hotels in Krasnovishersk. By prior arrangement with the administration, you can stay in the private sector.
