There are many beautiful and interesting places in Russia. Some of them even shroud themselves in mysticism, since even the great minds of scientists cannot explain some of their characteristics. These objects include the rock formations of Manpupuner. The seven massive rock pillars are in the west of the Ural Mountains in the Troitsko-Pechorsky district of the Komi region.
Manpupuner
The seven strong men rock formations of the Ural mountains in Russia
"Seven Strong Men" In the north of the Russian Ural Mountains, there are seven massive rock formations, the origin of which is unclear, in the middle of the flat terrain. The natural sites are called Manpupuner. They reach a height of 60 metres.
Scientists are still arguing about their origins, so these formations are shrouded in mysticism and mystery. They are also called the "Seven Strong Men Rock Formations" and the "Poles of the Komi Republic." They are not well known to tourists from abroad.
Externally, the pillars look unusual, contrasting forcefully with the flat landscape. When you look at them, they seem to be the remnants of some kind of civilisation that existed in ancient times.
The Legend of the 7 Pillars
There is an intriguing legend about these formations. A long time ago, this area lay thickly covered with fog, and then Samoan demons planned to kill the people of Mansi. To do this, they climbed the plateau, but the holy mountain Yalping Ner saw them and turned them into seven stone pillars. It was enough to see him once to be damned. It is believed that this is what the Manpupunar rock formations are. But there is also information that a large number of souls lived here in ancient times.

In addition to the legend, people also say that the pillars can have a beneficial effect on the well-being and state of mind of a person. Some tourists claim that visiting this place, they feel calmness; all problems and worries disappear somewhere.
Often, tourists try to climb these unusually high rock formations, but we should be aware that the Mansi people will not appreciate such an act positively; rather, quite the opposite. After all, these rock formations are sacred to them.
A wonderful mountain is so beautiful and unusual that it was included in the seven wonders of Russia. Vertical pillars are more reminiscent of the structures of some ancient civilisations than of natural formations.

Most of all, it is striking that the tops of the mountains are much wider than their bases, but this did not prevent them from standing for several millennia and not collapsing. Since ancient times, the Mansi have considered this place sacred. Manpupuner is located in a hard-to-reach place, so tourists will have to work diligently to get to the mountain.
