Romantsevsky mountains - an amazing place that appeared on the site of a coal mining enterprise. This object of nature can be called man-made, although it could not have done without the help of Mother Nature.
In the mid-20th century, brown coal was discovered here . Its strata were located not far from the surface of the earth, therefore mining of this mineral began in an open way.
Excavators and tractors plowed the earth, gnawed into its surface, shifted the rocks, reaching the coal layer.
As a result of these works, deep pits and high mounds of soil were formed.
For more than twenty years, work has been carried out here. Coal was extracted, exported to the needs of the country. During the years of perestroika (in the 80s and 90s), production turned out to be unprofitable, and further development of the field was expensive. All closed up, abandoned.
Here, nature has been involved in the development of the site. Winds, rains, the sun changed him beyond recognition. The pits were filled with water, the embankments began to be covered with vegetation. Many ravines have turned the area into something unusual.
