Jadrolinija

Jadrolinija is a Croatian ferry company that connects most of the Croatian islands to the mainland by regular passenger and car ferry services along the Croatian coast. The company also runs several international routes between Croatia and Italy (Ancona and Bari).  It is a state-owned company and therefore subsidized by the state budget.

Currently , the company has a fleet of 57 vessels including large ferries serving three international car ferry routes across the Adriatic Sea between Croatia and Italy :

• Ferry crossing between Zadar and Ancona
• Ferry crossing between Split and Ancona
• Ferry crossing between Dubrovnik and Bari

It also has 45 smaller ferries, conventional ships, catamarans and hydrofoils serving local routes along the Croatian coast . The popular coastal ferry route from Rijeka to Dubrovnik (via Split, Stari Grad-Hvar , Korcula and Sobra – Mljet ) is currently discontinued. The most popular fast ferry route is Split to Hvar and back .

Jadrolinija’s ferries are safe and comfortable, most of them with air-conditioned restaurants, cafes and cabins offering relaxing and enjoyable journeys. Restaurants and cafés on ferries serve a choice of nice hot and cold food as well as a selection of spirits, wines, soft drinks as well as tea and coffee.

Historically , Jadrolinija was founded in Rijeka, Croatia in January 1947 from a fleet of several smaller Croatian companies that have been operating in Adriatic since the 19th century. It was initially named ‘Jadranska linijska plovidba’ which was later changed to a shorter one –  ‘ Jadrolinija ‘.

On all local ferry routes , try to be in the port at least 45 minutes prior to departure.

WIFI Connections

Do Jadrolinija ferries have WiFi? Yes, on some of the ferries there is a FREE wifi connection but it is not very reliable as part of the routes are in areas that have poor or very weak connectivity, so at the present, the best option is to rely on your own mobile data.

Air-Conditioning

All ferries owned by Jadrolinija are air-conditioned in the interior passenger spaces such as salons, bars, cafes, lounges, and cabins.

Ferry Cabins

On international ferry lines (Croatia to Italy) there are interior and exterior 2 to 4 bed/berth cabins. Some of them include washbasin/sink only while others also include ensuite WC, shower, radio & TV.

On the local (domestic) lines , there are no cabins available.

Reclining seats

On international ferry lines (Croatia to Italy) reclining (lounge) seats are available at additional cost. These seats are similar to seats in the airplane, (also called air or ‘avio’ seats), and are more comfortable than simple deck seats.

Ferry Split to Dubrovnik FAQs

Below I have tried to answer some of the typical question people ask when travelling from Split to Dubrovnik by ferry.

The sailing time is 5h with Krilo catamaran, and 6h with Jadrolinija catamaran.

Usually, the catamaran has a dedicated pier number from where they depart, but check out our information about the Split ferry port .

On catamarans operated by Jadrolinija, you can not bring your bike. However, on the Krilo catamaran, you can bring your bike, but you have to buy a ticket for it in advance, as there are only a few spaces.

If you travel with Jadrolinija you can see their rules here . If you travel with Krilo you can see the rules for pets here .

Unfortunately, you cannot reserve a seat upfront as seating is free. There is a seat for all passengers but the only option to catch a larger chunk of seats next to each other is to be first in line when you board the catamaran in Split.

Yes, all the catamarans have toilets.

Yes, each of the catamarans has a kiosk/bar, where you can buy, coffee, drinks, and snacks.

Each of the catamaran companies has different policies, for ticket amendment and cancellation, so you will have to check with them.

Traveling with a catamaran is more like traveling by train, you can walk around onboard, you have toilets and catering.

Yes, it is possible to do a day trip via ferry. You could take the morning catamaran from Split and be in Dubrovnik around noon. The departure back to Split is always around 16.30h, giving you a few hours to explore the city.

My personal tips for the Split to Dubrovnik trip

• Under my tips for the route Split to Hvar , i said being early or late for the boarding have different advantages. This is not the case for the route Split to Dubrovnik. I would 100% recommend, to be early at the port, so you can secure some good window seats on the boat, why is that?
• As I mentioned further up in the text, the ferries does not sail direct, but stops on Islands on the way, and having window seats, just gives you better access to the scenic views!
• Bring drinks and smuggle some food onboard, 5 to 6 hours on a boat is a long time, so you will need some refreshment, you can buy some onboard, but it is way cheaper to bring it.

Jadrolinija

Jadrolinija is the main and largest ferry operator in Croatia, operating the vast majority of the car ferry and catamaran routes in the country. Jadrolinija also operates a number of international ferries to Croatia (although these only exist from Italy to Croatia!). If you’re planning on travelling down the coast or visiting any of the islands in Croatia , you will very likely be utilising Jadrolinija’s services!

History of Jadrolinija

Jadrolinija was founded on 20th January 1947 in Rijeka , the northern Croatian coastal city, which is still its base today. However, the company can trace its origins to as far back as 1872 to a shipping company that started operating sailings from Rijeka to Senj (about 65km south along the coast), stopping at smaller towns such as Crikvenica in between.

The establishment of other shipping companies and various mergers over the subsequent decades (not to mention the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) eventually led to a company named Jadranska plovidba being formed in 1922. This company had some 70 ships on passenger and goods lines, and sailed as far as Albania, Greece and further afield in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Following World War II, in 1947, the new company Jadranska linijska plovidba was formed. At that time, however, it inherited many of the older ships from the previous company, some of which were built in the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

From the 1950s onwards, the company acquired new ships and it started operating its first ferry in 1963.

The Simplon Postcards website has a fascinating gallery of Jadrolinija’s boats , including those operating today going all the way back to their fleet built pre-1911!

Jadrolinija’s Boats and Passengers

The company operates 3 large car ferries (with cabins) on international routes, 37 smaller car ferries, 10 catamarans and 4 more traditional ships.

It transports over 12 million people and 3 million cars annually.

Jadrolinija’s International Routes

Italy to croatia.

The company runs three routes connecting Italy and Croatia – Ancona to Zadar , Ancona to Split , Bari to Split and Bari to Dubrov n ik . The most frequent of these three routes is Ancona to Split, which is also the only Italy-Croatia route to operate year-round. In peak season – usually July and August – this route also stops at Stari Grad on the island of Hvar .

Italy to Montenegro

Jadrolinija has previously run a route connecting Bari to Bar in Montenegro, but this is not running at present.

Jadrolinija is Croatia's national ferry company. Founded in 1947 to connect Croatia's islands with the mainland, Jadrolinija currently operates a fleet of 56 ships including 37 local ferries, 8 catamarans, 1 hydrobus and 5 regular ships. There are up to 500 daily departures in the summer, with about half that off-season.

Jadrolinija Schedules

Jadrolinija schedules are pubished at the beginning of the year but there are often changes throughout the year. The summer schedule runs from the last few days of May or beginning of June to the last few days of September or beginning of October. There are often additional departures in July and August and sometimes in June and September as well.

The winter schedule starts at the end of September and runs to the end of May and includes the special schedules for the holiday period. It's not unusual for one route to have three and sometimes four different schedules!

Jadrolinija Prices

Jadrolinija has three price categories: low season, high season and weekend prices for international routes. There is now a substantial penalty for weekend travel from Ancona to Split and Zadar and Bari to Dubrovnik. On domestic services there is no weekend penalty.

There's a 50% reduction for children from 3 to 12 (children under 3 travel free) and there's a 20% reduction on the return portion of a round-trip ticket.

Booking Jadrolinija Ferries

All local and international car ferries and local catamarans can now be booked online. Click here for online Jadrolinija booking. There are Jadrolinija offices in all coastal and island towns that have a ferry connection. In other places, tickets are handled by local travel agencies. See more about booking Croatia ferries.

It's important to note that purchasing a ticket for a car ferry does not reserve a place for your car. You must queue up anywhere from one to three hours before boarding in order to be assured of a place. Any Jadrolinija office will inform you of the advised waiting time depending on the departure.

Jadrolinija On-board Services

With such a vast fleet, it's logical that on-board services vary from very basic to quite comfortable if not luxurious. The newer the ship, the more comfortable and modern the on-board experience. Generally, the most comfortable experience is on the international routes. The most heavily travelled domestic routes usually get the best ships. Get more details about Jadrolinija on-board.

It is characterized by the most modern water purification system, the most modern navigation system, and is fully adapted to people with disabilities, so we can say that it is one of the best boats of its type in the Adriatic.

Are you planning to explore Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian Coast? If you’re considering the journey from Split to Dubrovnik, let me share a gem of a travel option: the ferry trip.

Having taken this route myself numerous times over the past 20 years, I can vouch for its appeal. It’s admittedly slower than driving, but trust me, it’s worth the pace.

The ferry offers a relaxing, comfortable trip that is also a scenic way to experience the Adriatic Sea. Read on for the ferry timetables, average price, popular routes, and more.

Here’s what you need to know to make your ferry from Dubrovnik to Split the total highlight of your Croatian trip.

• Ferry Travel Time : 4-6 hours, depending on stops and operators
• Best Way to Book: directly through the ferry company websites or a site like this well in advance in high season; no need in low season
• Ferry Operators: Jadrolinija, Krilo & Kapetan Luka
• Reservations: recommended during peak season for guaranteed spots

Ferries in Croatia are a popular way to hop between coastal cities and islands. They’re like big buses on water, carrying people, cars, and sometimes cargo. It’s a practical and scenic way to travel.

For your Split to Dubrovnik ferry, you can choose from several operators, including Jadrolinija, Krilo, and Kapetan Luka. You can book directly on their websites or use aggregator sites like this for convenience.

Most routes stop at Milna (Brac Island) and Hvar Town (Hvar Island)  before reaching Dubrovnik. Some extend to Korčula Island. The journey typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the route.

Jadrolinija offers traditional ships, usually slower and more budget-friendly. Krilo and Kapetan Luka operate fast catamarans with amenities geared toward sightseeing and comfort.

We recommend you book your ferries with Ferryhopper in advance here.

If you need to travel between Split and Dubrovnik during the off-season, you’ll need to consider alternative means of transportation such as bus, car, or flight. Always check with the ferry companies or local travel information for the most current schedules and available services.

Ferry Booking Tips

During summer, it’s wise to book in advance. Have your printed tickets or a mobile QR code ready for boarding, and arrive about 30 minutes before departure.

The ferry ride itself is part of the adventure. You’ll get unique views of the coast and islands, a chance to relax and move around on the ferry, and the opportunity to briefly explore island ports.

Split and Dubrovnik, your start and end points, are cities rich in history. Split’s Diocletian Palace and Dubrovnik’s impressive city walls are just a couple of the historical highlights. Hvar Town, a stop along the way, offers a glimpse into its Venetian-influenced past.

Enjoy the scenic coastal views, relax in the lounges, and maybe spot some dolphins! Whether you’re sunbathing, reading, or just gazing at the sea, the ferry offers a peaceful and memorable experience.

Thanks for this very well written, clear and helpful information. We were thinking of doing a small ship cruise along the coast but this sounds like a much cheaper option to see the coastline of Croatia. Could you please explain: 1. Is this 45 EUR for a one way or return ticket? 2. Do we have to stay on board for the whole ferry ride or is it possible to get off at different places and get back on a later ferry? Or Get off and stay overnight somewhere, to do sightseeing before continuing the journey the next day? Any other advice you can give would be very much appreciated. Thanks very much.

As far as I know the ferry ticket is for the day of travel only, and does not allow you to break up the journey. But, ask the company as they may allow it.

See all region register, peakvisor app, sverdlovsk oblast.

The Sverdlovsk Region territorially covers practically the entire Middle Urals and part of the Northern Urals . The region is usually associated with the Urals in general, and the city of Yekaterinburg, its administrative centre, is called the capital of the Urals . This city is also the centre of the Urals Federal District.

Flora and Fauna

Water resources, landmarks and tourism, konzhakov stone, serebryansky kamen (stone), denezhkin stone & the kvarkush range, kachkanar mountain, the peter the gronsky aka petrogrom rocks, the devil's fortress, the seven brothers rocks, mount bunar, the urals mars, reserves, national and natural parks, picturesque rivers, the revun rapids, zoo nurseries, major cities, yekaterinburg.

In earlier times, the region was part of the Siberian province, then part of the Trans-Ural region of the Perm province of the Russian Empire. As an administrative unit, the Sverdlovsk Region was separated from the Urals Region in 1934 and finally appeared on the maps as an independent entity. It received its name from the regional centre – the city of Sverdlovsk, which is actually Yekaterinburg, but the city was renamed in the Soviet times to commemorate the revolutionary Yakov Sverdlov. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the city was given back its historical name – Yekaterinburg, but the region was not renamed, thus the discrepancy. The same story happened with Saint Petersburg and Leningradskaya Region.

The Sverdlovsk Region borders the Komi Republic and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Region in the north, the Tyumen Region in the east, the Kurgan and Chelyabinsk Regions in the south, the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Perm Territory in the west.

There is a conditional border between Europe and Asia running from north to south through the whole Sverdlovsk Region. The area of the region is 194 307 sq. km., the length from north to south is 660 km, the distance between the western and eastern extremes is about 560 km. The population of the region is 4.3 million people. There are 47 cities in the Sverdlovsk Region.

The relief of the region is diverse. The western part is mountainous, whereas the central and eastern parts are plain. The Main Urals Range extends from north to south. The highest point in the Sverdlovsk Region is Konzhakov Stone (1,569 m).

The vegetation is dominated by coniferous and mixed forests, mainly birch, pine, spruce, less often aspen and cedar, while in the extreme south-east there are some forest-steppes. Forests cover about 82.3% of the territory. Mountain slopes up to 600 m high are covered with dark coniferous northern taiga forests (spruce, fir, cedar). The mountains, passes, plateaus starting from the height of 800 m and higher are covered with rocky tundra.

The fauna of the Sverdlovsk Region is filled with typical forest representatives. There are 66 species of mammals, 6 species of reptiles, 9 species of amphibians, 228 species of birds, and 48 species of fish.

The watershed between the basins of the main tributaries of Russia's two largest rivers, the Irtysh and the Kama, runs along the ridges of the Ural Mountains and the eastern foothills in the south of the Sverdlovsk Region. The region's river network includes 18,414 rivers with a total length of more than 68,000 km. They are characterized by mixed feeding (by ground and meltwater, and atmospheric precipitation) with a predominance of snow (snow feeding is about 85-90% in the southern areas of the region and about 60-65% in the Ural Mountains ). The rivers freeze in late October-November and open up in April. The main river in the Irtysh basin is the Tobol with its tributaries of the first, second and third-order: the Iset, Tavda, and Tura (tributaries of the Tobol); the Nitsa, Pyshma, Tagil (tributaries of the Tura); the Lozva, Sosva, and Pelym (tributaries of the Tavda). The main rivers in the Kama basin are the Chusovaya River (a tributary of the Kama River) and its tributary – the Sylva River, and the Ufa River (a tributary of the Belaya River).

Swamps and marshlands occupy about 10.53% of the total area of the region (20461 sq. km.). The largest marshes are located in the north-east, in the Tavda river basin.

The Sverdlovsk Region has more than 5,850 lakes and artificial water bodies with the total area of about 1.35 thousand sq.km., including about 2000 lakes with the area of more than 0.01 sq.km, as well as a number of even smaller lakes (according to the Institute of Lake Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences).

The largest lakes in the region are the Pelymsky Tuman (its area is 65 sq.km) and the Vagilskiy Tuman (half the size of its bigger brother, it is 31.2 sq.km.). The largest artificial lakes are the Beloyarskoye reservoir on the Pyshma River and the Volchikhinskoye reservoir on the Chusovaya River. The Sverdlovsk Region takes the last place by the total area of lakes and artificial reservoirs, as well as by lakes among the regions of the Ural Federal District. The size and number of lakes, artificial reservoirs, swamps and wetlands is unstable and tends to change depending on natural factors such as water regime, climatic phenomena, swamping, etc. and anthropogenic factors, viz. excessive drainage or, conversely, watering of territories, regulation of river flows, etc.

Underground water reservoirs are also powerful and aplenty in the Sverdlovsk region which ranks the third in terms of the volume of forecasted groundwater resources (after the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area).

The climate of this area is moderately continental. The Ural Mountains partially protect the region from cyclones and anticyclones. Strong winds and snowstorms are quite rare. As we move away from the Main Ural Mountain Range and towards the south of the region, the air temperature increases and the amount of annual precipitation decreases. But on the whole, despite the large territory of the region, climatic conditions in all parts are quite similar. Seasons are well-pronounced, and precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the calendar year. Summer is warm, characterized by moderately hot weather without any extremes. The warmest month is July, with an average daily temperature of +21 to +26°C (+70 to +79 F), and in the mountains, it is only +14 to +16°C (+57 to +61 F). If you get very warm and dry air from Kazakhstan and Central Asia at this time of year, the daytime temperature can reach +35 to +40 ° C (+95 to +104 F), whereas the invasion of the Arctic air can bring some frosts at night frosts. Winter is freezing cold with dense snow cover. January is the coldest month of the year, with average daily temperatures ranging from -14 to -20°C (+7 to -4 F). However, during the Arctic cold air onslaughts, there are severe frosts down to -48 to -50 °C (-54 to -58 F), and in the northern parts of the region down to -55 °C (-67F). Thaws are also possible when the day temperature rises to +8°C (+46 F) in winter, but this is very rare.

The Sverdlovsk Region is one of the largest industrial centres in the country due to extensive mining. In terms of industrial output, it ranks second in Russia after the Moscow Region. There are rich deposits of bauxite, gold, various minerals, platinum and asbestos. The territory is blessed with many deposits of precious and semiprecious stones, they are mainly located in the so-called ‘gem strip’ running on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains .

There are many interesting places in the Sverdlovsk Region that attract travellers. In 2017, it was included in the top 10 most popular tourist regions of Russia. This area is especially suitable for aficionados of active rest.

Beautiful and majestic mountains attract herds of tourists in summer and winter alike. You can go hiking, skiing or drive snowmobiles here. The highest of the mountains are in the north of the Sverdlovsk region together with the main peak Konzhakov Stone (1,569 m). Tourists sometimes call the mountain Konzhak. The mountain is 450 km north of the city of Yekaterinburg. There is no cellular communication, but you can spend the night in a tent. Every year on the first Saturday of July, on the slopes of this mountain massif there is held an International Mountain Marathon Konzhak. It is a challenging 42-km distance running along the mountain trails and rock rivers of Konzhakov Stone , over the rivers and snows fields. The run goes from the river Konzhakovka to the top of the mountain and back.

Next to Konzhakov Stone , in its eastern spur, there is Serebryansky Kamen Mountain (also called Serebryanka). The mountain is almost 300 m lower, but it is as frequently visited as Konzhak. The top of the mountain is crowned with huge and steep rock bastions. Its spurs are like the spine of a dragon. In winter, the mountain is often compared to the kingdom of the Snow Queen, so everything here is majestic and impregnable (rocks, ice and snow). On the slope of the mountain in the olden days there used to be a rescue base, the only remnant of that is a sauna. If necessary, you can stay there for a sleepover (it accommodates 3-4 people). The nearest connection with the Ministry of Emergency Situations is at the tourist base Serebryansky Kamen at the intersection of the highway Karpinsk-Kytlym with the river Serebryanka. Here you can spend the night, visit the bathhouse, there is a parking lot as well.

Other high mountain ranges include the Main Urals Range , the nearby Denezhkin Stone Range and the Kvarkush Range. Between the Main Ural Ridge and Denezhkin Stone Mountain there is the Zvezda camping site. There are also no cellular communications or regular transport links in the area. On the Kvarkush Range you can visit the Zhigalan Falls, a five-stage waterfall which is considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Urals . By the end of autumn, the waterfall freezes, which attracts fans of ice climbing.

In the central and southern parts of the region, the mountains are low but easily accessible and no less beautiful. Among them are Mounts Kachkanar , Volchikha , Shunut , Sinyaya (Blue) , Azov-Mountain , and the Merry Mountains.

Kachkanar mountain is 270 km away from Yekaterinburg by the Serov road. It is a ridge with two peaks – Great Kachkanar (878 m) and Little Kachkanar (866 m). It is better to start climbing from the top of Mt Malaya. There was founded a monastery called Shad Tchup Ling (Place of practice and realization) on the northeast spur of this mountain in 1995 by Lama Sanje Tenzin Dokshitom (Mikhail Sannikov). When you come up to the beginning of the log path to the monastery, you are invited to take a brick with you up to the monastery so that your path would cease to be some common walking, but will gain the meaning. The bricks are needed for the construction of the site which is still underway today. There are several monks living on the mountain at any time of year. The guests are welcomed by the Awakening stupa. A stupa is a Buddhist commemorative monument usually housing sacred relics associated with the Buddha or other saintly persons. Another stupa is hidden in the rocks from prying eyes. Anyone can come to the monastery as a guest with an overnight stay or as a volunteer worker. From the monastery, the trail continues to Camel Rock, from where you can enjoy views of the town of Kachkanar and the huge steps of the Kachkanar Mining and Processing quarry (EVRAZ KGOK, formerly called KGOK Vanadiy, an iron ore producer). A small lake formed by flooding a quarry is located 500 m from the beginning of the trail to the monastery. From here, bypassing the monastery, there is another road to Camel Rock.

If you are pressed for time, within the city limits of Yekaterinburg there are beautiful rocks with bizarre forms, the most famous of them are the rocks of Peter Gronsky (aka Petrogrom or Grony), the Devil's Fortress, and the Seven Brothers. Tourists admire their beautiful views, and climbers train here to conquer the rocks of varying difficulty.

The rocks of Peter the Gronsky are stone remains on top of the Upper Iset granite massif (370 m high). The height of the rocks themselves is 15 m. They have several names. On the maps, they are called the rocks of Peter the Gronsky . In the Soviet times, it was believed that revolutionary workers headed by Peter Gronsky hid their weapons here and held mausoleums. However, local historians believe that Peter Gronsky, who lived at the Iset railway station in those years, could not participate in the revolutionary events, because he was still very young. Scientists call the rocks Petrogrom, in honour of Peter the Thunderer. They say that lightning strikes here very often. And among the tourists, there's a simpler name – Grony aka Thunderstorms. According to archaeological excavations, in ancient times there was a metallurgical production here, the ore was supplied here from the Sugra mine. Nowadays, it is a popular weekend route oftentimes taken with children at any time of year. From the rocks, there is a picturesque view of Lake Iset. The Petrogrom Rocks are located to the north-west of Yekaterinburg. You can get to them by public transport: by train to Nizhny Tagil, go 479 km to the station. The trail to the rocks starts on the right of the stop. A visit to the Petrogrom Rocks can be combined with a trip to the rocks of the Devil's Fortress and Iset Lake.

The Devil's Fortress is both a mountain (the absolute height is 347 m) and a rocky massif on its top. The rocks are a mighty granite ridge with a height of 20 m having a folded structure. As for the name, one version of the place was "damned or devilish" because if you look at such an erratic heap of granite slabs them seem so unnatural as if laid out by an evil force. In the process of excavations, there were found traces of ancient people staying here. Probably the first locals made sacrifices here to appease the gods. Mass visitation to the Devil's Fortress began at the end of 19th century after the Ural railway was opened. In 1980-1985, this place was closed to visitors. During this time the territory was cleared, garbage was taken out and the area was equipped with a climbing wall, one of the first in the USSR. For climbers, the northern side of the remains is of the greatest interest. The southern side is more gentle and goes down as if in steps to the valley of the Semipalatka river, a tributary of the Iset River. A wooden staircase leads to the very top of the Devil's Fortress. You can visit the Devil's Fortress by taking a train from Yekaterinburg to Iset station, the rocks are 6 km from this station.

The Seven Brothers Rocks, one of the most popular rock idols in the Middle Urals , are the highest rocks in the vicinity of Yekaterinburg. They are located at the top of Mount Semibratskaya (422 m) and belong to the Upper Iset granite massif. The height of the idols is up to 32 m. In the upper part, the mount is dividing into separate stone columns of folded structure, reminiscent of giants or brothers, from which the name comes. Actually, there are more than seven ‘brothers’, and next to them there is a remnant called ‘a sister’. There are many legends associated with the name of the rocks, and most of them imply that the brothers turned into stone. No traces of ancient people were found here. It could be connected with the prohibition for ordinary people to visit this place because it was believed that gods lived there. Nowadays there are a lot of tourists here, climbers have the training and sometimes competitions. Nearby (1.5 km) are the Rocks of Three Sisters. There are indeed three stone idols of no more than 20 m high. It is easy to climb to the south side. On the north side, there is an interesting big grotto. You can get to the Seven Brothers from the town of Verkh-Neyvinsk (7 km) and to the village itself take a train from Yekaterinburg.

Mount Bunar (612 m), which is the highest in the vicinity of Verkh-Neyvinsk and Novouralsk, has the Bunar idols. There are no idols on the top itself, they are scattered all over the slopes of Mount Bunar . It is not easy to find them among the dense taiga filled with windbreak. There is a belief that there are 999 idols in these forests. You climb one of them, you open your eyes to the next one. By the way, real idols which were worshipped by the peoples who lived here in ancient times must remain hidden from curious eyes. Most of the tourists manage to find two rock sculptures which are called very dramatically: the First and the Second. Not far from Mount Bunar , there are mineral deposits. To the south of Mount Bunar on the Kamenka River, there is one of the few deposits of green garnet in the Urals - a diamond-like demantoid. In the east, in the environs of the former mountain, there is now the Zaplotny Stone quarry where they mine tourmalines, chlorites, sphenes, and radiated zeolite. It is better to start the trip to Mount Bunar from Belorechka settlement or from the railway station Neivo-Rudyanskaya.

The relief of the Urals Mountains made it possible to build many ski centres in the Sverdlovsk Oblast. The largest of them are located on Belaya, Volchikha, and Yezhovaya mountains. In the city of Nizhny Tagil on Mount Dolganaya there is a ski jump complex where international competitions are held.

In the Sverdlovsk Region, you can see ethereal landscapes which the locals call the Urals Mars. Unusual beautiful landscapes reminiscent of Martian and sometimes lunar ones appeared on the place of former clay quarries. The official name of this place is Poldnevoy Section of the Troitsko-Baynovsky refractory clay deposit located south of the town of Bogdanovich, near the Poldnevoy village. The deposit is 20 km long and has an area of about 75 sq.km. It is one of the largest reserves in the Middle Urals. The clays have different colouring ranging from white and light grey to black with admixtures of iron oxides and humus matter. Due to this, the local clay quarries differ considerably in colour from each other. Clay hills have the appearance of ridges of different sizes. There are several lakes with water of orange and brown-red colour which is explained by the presence of pyrite in water. Bathing in such water is dangerous. Walking in this area can be likened to walking on another planet.

Thanks to karst phenomena, there are many caves, gaps, sinks, arches and other karst formations in the mountains. However, the exploration of grottoes and caves continues to this day and even geographers make very tentative guesses about their numbers. There are about 80 caves in the Sverdlovsk Region that are more than 50 meters long and deeper than two meters.

The longest caves are the Severnaya Cave (2,250 m long), the Bolshaya Yurtishenskaya Cave (930 m long), the Tayozhnaya Cave (850 m long), the Smolinskaya Cave (630 m long), and the Druzhba Cave (500 m long).

The deepest caves are the Sadykovskaya (88 m), the Tayozhnaya (64 m), the Saranskaya (49 m), the Vetrovaya (45 m), and the Volkovskaya Mine (44 m).

The most popular caves in the Sverdlovsk Region are the Smolinskaya, Druzhba, and the Arakayevskie caves. The Smolinskaya Cave is located two kilometres from the village of Beklenishcheva in the Sukholozhskoye District. The Druzhba Cave is located near the Iset River and the Revun rapids. The Arakayevskie caves can be found near the village of Arakayevo in the Deer Streams Nature Park.

The most stunning of them is the Chusovaya River. On the banks of many rivers, there are plenty of beautiful rocks of various shapes and sizes.

For the lovers of extreme pleasures, the Revun rapids on the Iset River are the biggest temptation. The Iset River is a calm, not a mountain river but for 500 m it turns into a bubbling stream and shows a duel of water and stone. The complexity category of the rapids varies depending on the season and water level in the river from the 2nd to the 5th at the end of March or in April during the flood. It is often possible to watch rafters' competitions or training sessions in canoes, catamarans, kayaks on the Revun rapids. Beklenishchevskie rocks (20-30 m high) surrounding the rapids lure all types of climbers, experienced and beginners alike. In 1989, the last All-Union Tourist Con was held here.

By order of Peter the Great, the city of Yekaterinburg, also spelt as Ekaterinburg, was originally established in the Urals as an industrial and trade centre. In 1723, the Yekaterinburg plant was built on the Iset River. This year is also considered the birthday of the city. Its founders are Vasily Tatishchev and Georg Wilhelm de Gennin. The city received its name in honour of the wife of Peter I, the future Empress Catherine I. The city has a favourable geographical location. Yekaterinburg is located on the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains , in the Middle Urals. The Ural Mountains in this place are low, they are basically hills, which provides favourable conditions for the construction of railways and large roads here. The Koltsovo International Airport is also located here. Now Yekaterinburg is one of the largest transport and logistics hubs. The city has many shopping and office centres. Yekaterinburg is the most compact city with a population of one million people in Russia. Its area is 490 sq. km. In terms of population (about 1.5 million people) it is the fourth city in Russia after Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novosibirsk. The main river of the city is the Iset. There are also ponds within the city limits: the Urban, the Upper Iset, and the Lower Iset ponds. All the tributaries of the Iset in the city except the Patrushikha River were hidden underground in the past years. Yekaterinburg is the only city in the Urals with metro, and for a long time, it was considered the shortest in the world.

It is convenient to start a brief acquaintance with the history of the capital of the Urals with the Plotinka - the dam of the city pond that gave rise to the plant and the city of Yekaterinburg itself. A stone's throw from it, there is a monument to the founders of the city (Tatishchev and de Gennin), a chapel in honour of Catherine I and a fountain called the Stone Flower. In addition to the dam and the pond, you can visit the exhibition of large-size equipment of Ural factories in the open air. A walk along the embankment of the city pond and along the Iset River in the centre of the city will open views of the old buildings preserved here. In summer, you can take a boat ride on the pond.

Another attraction is the Temple on Blood built on the site of the Ipatyev’s house. It is believed that during the Civil War in 1918 in the basement of Ipatyev's house the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family were executed. The cathedral was built in the Russian-Byzantine style and divided into the Lower and Upper Temples. There are a firing room and a small museum in the tomb chapel of the Lower Temple.

Across the road from the Temple on Blood, on Voznesenskaya Hill, there is a palace and a park which is sometimes called the Yekaterinburg Acropolis. The estate of the Ural Kharitonov-Rastorguyev dynasty includes a park with an artificial pond and a gazebo-rotunda on it.

To get acquainted with the panorama of the city, it is worth visiting the observation deck of the skyscraper Vysotsky (the 52nd floor, height of the platform 186 m). There is also an observation deck in the business centre of Antey.

There are many theatres in Yekaterinburg, as well as a philharmonic, circus, zoo, and an aqua park. Museums are plenty as well, there is the Museum of History of Yekaterinburg, Museum of Ural History and Archaeology, Museum of Nature, Museum of Radio, Museum of Fine Arts.
