Many people are eager to vacation abroad, believing that somewhere there, beyond the oceans, it must be better than at home. Meanwhile, we also have thousands of fabulously beautiful places that Russia is proud of. Bashkortostan - one of its republics - is famous for its wonderful forests, mountains, rivers, lakes. But perhaps there is no mountain like Yangantau anywhere else in the world. She is famous for the fact that unusually healing couples come out of her bowels to the surface. Their temperature at some points can reach +150 degrees! The composition of the vapor includes a range of useful elements. It is this natural gift that is used in treatment at the Yangantau sanatorium. According to legend, such a miracle with a mountain was made by a star that fell on it from the sky. Incredibly, this legend was confirmed. When they dug a pit on the mountain for construction purposes, they came across a rare meteorite. It was so huge that only small fragments of it could be extracted to the surface for research. Perhaps the truth of the celestial body affected the thermal processes in the mountain. Be that as it may, people have been using its life-giving warmth for more than a dozen years. At the beginning of the last century, a balneological hospital was built here, which has now turned into a chic resort, called the same as a unique mountain, Yangantau.
