Description
The top is a domed crater rising from the ridge. It is covered with stone blocks. The crater itself, like the boulders covering it, is composed of black porphyry. This rock crystallized qualitatively, because after melting during the eruption, it cooled for a long time.

From the city of Krasnoyarsk to the hill about 20 kilometers. After the Kuznetsovsky plateau and the rocks of the Shuvaev cape, you need to turn into the village of Lukino, from where you should walk across the field on foot. Then a forest trail and a black kumnik go straight up to the top of the hill. Then, going down the eastern slope, you can get to the Yakhontovaya glade, located on the bank of the river. Bazaikhi.
