The Vachkazhets massif is declared the national monument and includes picturesque landscapes, geological complex of sediments with rare minerals and ancient fauna remnants extremely rare in these sediments.Steep rock slopes of the massif descend to the ridges of the Nachikinsky lake shore. There are different minerals (quartz, opal, etc.) in the rock outcrops, and different forms of ice age relief.
