The mountain system that separates Asia and Europe is rich in natural beauty and historical sites. There are always a lot of tourists in the national parks of the Urals, because here you can not only admire the mountain peaks and observe representatives of the animal world, but also engage in all kinds of outdoor activities.
Briefly about each

Here you can find such rare plants as the lady's slipper and Siberian iris, listed in the Red Book. The city where the park administration is located is Talitsa.
- Yugyd va in the Subpolar Urals is a national park with one of the most extensive territories in the country. The object of the park "Virgin Komi Forests" is on the UNESCO lists.
