Ancient stone labyrinths near Kondui — a rare taiga archaeological site.
Kondui Stone Labyrinth
Stone labyrinth structures near the Kondui River belong to ancient sacred sites of Amur peoples. Rare in taiga and far from federal highways. Access is difficult — dirt roads, few signs, final kilometres season-dependent. A local guide helps find the structures and understand sacred boundaries. Stones are fragile — do not dismantle, rearrange or build fire rings from them. Photography without vandalism or 'improving' the layout. Combine with Nanai district routes — not a museum hall but an outdoor site requiring heritage respect. Clay roads are slippery after rain; repellent, water and respectful behaviour at the sacred site are essential.
How to get there
Forest roads toward Kondui from the krai road network.
Best season
