On the border of the Sverdlovsk Region and Perm Territory, near the Koiva River, a small village with a population of 2016 was lost, about three thousand people - Teplaya Gora. Perm Krai, where the settlement is located, is rich in various minerals. The village is not remarkable in appearance, but has a rich history and cultural heritage.
Settlement history
The village of Teplaya Gora (Perm Territory) is located in the Middle Urals on its western slope near the Koiva River (a tributary of the Chusovaya River).
On January 8, 1880, papers were drawn up and signed, on the basis of which Count Pyotr Pavlovich Shuvalov began construction of a cast-iron factory at his property rightfully owned by Biser.
It was planned to produce pig iron in the amount of 300 thousand pounds (4,914,000 kg) per year. In February, permission was obtained to build the plant, and in June Count Shuvalov personally visited the plant and laying the new blast furnace. The plant was built 3.5 km from the Teplogorskaya railway station, on Teplaya Gora, near the Koiva River. In May 1881, during a drought, a fire broke out and the plant burned down, and in 1884 it was restored, and smelting of cast iron began to be carried out in an eight-burner blast furnace.
Until the Gornozavodskaya Railway was built, the plant’s products were rafted along the Koyve River, through Chusovaya to Kama. And ore (brown iron ore) was delivered to the enterprise from two mines - Teplogorsky and Gorevoznesensky.
For the operation of a blast furnace, charcoal was required. For its production, several dozen special furnaces were built near the plant, in which charcoal was produced. In winter, he was delivered to the factory by the sled method in the amount necessary until the next winter. Coal was stored in special sheds.
The plant changed owners. In 1918, the enterprise became nationalized. During the Patriotic War, he served in the defense industry of the Soviet Union. But in the postwar years, the blast furnace was too worn out, and the plant was retrained for the production of consumer goods. After the collapse of the USSR, foundry could not compete with foreign manufacturers, and the plant was declared bankrupt.
Village Name
There is such a story that the village got its name in connection with the severity of dragging various goods uphill to the railway station, since it is located on the side of the mountain, and the railway station is higher. The men, with a load of horses, had to climb to the station. After a hard climb, even in winter it was hot, and with a sigh, the cabmen said: “Oh, and a warm mountain!” Hence the name - p. Teplaya Gora.
Perm region and in particular Gornozavodsky district, where the village is located, is rich in natural beauty and forests.
Industry
Now the main occupation for the local population is the forestry industry and the production of building materials. Works Teplogorsk timber industry and Teplogorsk crushed stone plant. The crushed stone plant feeds the Teplogorsk opencast mine located several kilometers away.
Teplaya Gora (Perm Territory) is a source of labor for the crushed stone plant and quarry. The term of full development of the latter is about 40 years. Its gabro-diabase breed has unique qualities and is the only one in Russia.
Attraction for tourists
Not far from Teplaya Gora, the first diamond in Russia was found. In 1829, a 14-year-old teenager found him. Now there is a memorial stone, and the place is called the Diamond Key.
In the center of the town there is a memorial to the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War, who went to the front from the Teplogorsk railway station. These were the factory workers and many of the Urals. The soldiers of the subsequently formed Guards Red Banner Order of Suvorov of the Zvenigorod-Berlin Division took part in the battles on the Kursk Bulge and in the Battle of Stalingrad.
Among the memorials, one can note a monument to the victims of the civil war and foundry workers from the factory who suffered in 1941 during the blast furnace explosion.
In Teplaya Gora there is a children's sports school of the Olympic reserve for orienteering, the House of Culture (which houses a library, museum, gym). Also in the village there is a closed special school for children with deviated (deviant) behavior.
Not far from Teplaya Gora and 9 km from the village of Promysly, on the road to Kachkanar, there is a Europe-Asia stela, built in 2003, 16 meters high. At the top of the structure is a two-headed eagle, and below, on the sides, there is a griffin and lion symbolizing Europe and Asia.
Tourists often stop in the town before traveling along the Koyve and Vilva rivers or to Mount Kolpaki. The village is the last settlement before such trips.
