Rupture Rock

Rupture Rock is a unique natural site that is a regional natural monument. It is located on the eastern slope of the Skalistyy Ridge, just 2.5 km northwest of the Krasnogorskaya station, in the Ust-Dzhegutinsky municipal district of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. The rock itself has an amazing through hole in the shape of a ring, formed by the weathering of Upper Jurassic sandstones. Around the rock, you can see steppe communities and diverse petrophilic vegetation, which makes this place even more amazing and attractive for visiting.
