The rocks stretch for 6 km from the Malaya Shoana River in the south to the outskirts of the village of Kumysh in the north. These rocks have a steep wall about 15-25 meters high and in some places drop off towards the village of Ordzhonikidzevsky. They are formed from Lower Jurassic sandstones with thin layers of shaly clays. Throughout the entire stretch of rocks, they have acquired amazing shapes that are associated with various images: the head of an old man with a beard, a warrior in a helmet, a hero, a shepherd, a tank, an owl, a swallow, a frog, Baba Yaga, a bunny, a ring, and much more.
