Tulymsky Kamen

The word "Tulym", in some Tatar dialects, means "rocks sticking out of the river", and in the Komi-Yodzyak language it means "rapids", likely referring to the rapids on the Vishera River. In the Mansi language, the range has two names: ‘Yaktyl-ya-Nyor’ (range of rapids river) and ‘Luv-Nyor’ (horse-stone).

The ridge is composed mainly of rocks: effusives of basalt composition, green shales, while the eastern part is composed of quartzite-sandstones and green shales. The maximum length of the range from north to south is about 24 km, while its maximum width is 7 km.

The slopes of the ridge are steep, with slopes up to 45 degrees, especially on the western and eastern sides. Avalanches come down here in winter. The peaks are cone-shaped and separated by a gentle saddle. The crested part of the ridge is covered with kurums.

The slopes of the ridge are fed by: the western one by the left tributaries of the Vishera River; the eastern one by tributaries of the Bolshaya Moiva River. Near the ridge, in its western part, flows the Vishera River, to the north of the ridge - the Moiwa River, to the east - the Bolshaya Moiva River.

Up to a height of 800 m, mainly fir and spruce forests grow, but Siberian cedar, larch, birch also occur. Above 800 metres there is mountain moss-lichen tundra.
