Yermak Stone

The Yermak Stone (Russian: Ермак-Камень) is a cliff in Kungursky District of Perm Krai, at the territory of Preduralye Reserve.

[1] Inside the rock there is a cave, where, by legends, Yermak Timofeyevich spent the winter and hid his treasures there.

According to descriptions, this cave is divided into many separate grottoes, and by legends, Yermak with his squad spent the winter there.

At present the Yermak Stone is of interest due to its acoustics only; a resonance happens to be remarkable here, and the rock reflects every sound several times.

A loud echo repeats the word, and the barge-haulers are profoundly convinced, that Yermak answers it himself, as he was a considerable sorcerer.57°22′51″N 57°07′16″E / 57.3808°N 57.1210°E / 57.3808; 57.1210
