Natural Attraction

Tiramisu

The Kyzylkup tract is smooth low hills composed of rocks of various colors that alternate with each other, creating a fascinating spectacle. The color of the layers is given by impurities of various minerals. The white layers consist of chalk, and the red ones contain iron. Because of its unusual layered structure, the tract is often called "Tiramisu" by the people. The official name of the tract received from the reservoir, which was once located nearby.
The Ustyurt plateau used to be the bottom of the ancient Tethys Ocean. And there was a constant accumulation of precipitation on it: clay, sand, various organisms. Therefore, it is not surprising that landscapes change their colors at different times of the day. During the day, in sunny weather, the landscape is snow-white, in the evening it acquires cream shades, at sunset it turns purple.
And there is also a local "sphinx". This is a huge stone protruding from the top of the mountain, similar to a human head. Tourists take photos next to him.
