Safronovo Petroglyphs

Safronovo cliff petroglyphs belong to the scattered Bely Iyus rock-art complex — animals and signs pecked across eras. Forest and slope foot access; some panels high — binoculars help. Protected monument — no touching or chalk. Pine taiga and reddish rock outcrops; slippery after rain; many midges. Second stop after Kazanovka museum on a long day from Askiz. Bring snacks and water — no services at the cliff.

How to get there

Foot and forest tracks from Kazanovka or Askiz; confirm route at the museum.
