Yaman Tau, Russia

From series “Forbidden Construction Objects with Label "Access Denied"”
One of the most interesting secrets of Russia is connected with the Yamantau base, which is hidden under the eponymous mountain in the Southern Urals. For the first time the existence of a secret base was told to the world by the newspaper The New York Times. It wrote about an underground complex in the mountains to which automobile and railway lines had been brought. Despite the fact that officially, the existence of the base has not been confirmed, incredible rumors about this secret facility continue to multiply.

For the media, the Yamantau base has become a real legend. Some of them tell that in underground tunnels an incredible stock of weapons and food is stored, while others believe that a government bunker is located under the mountain in the Urals. The most incredible assumption indicates that under the mountain an incredible underground city has been built, which is designed to accommodate 300000 people. No matter how bold and incredible the assumptions of the media seemed to be, one is definitely not questioned - the Yamantau mountain region is under special state protection.

The mountain is located on the territory of a vast reserve, in which, in addition to the rangers, the military is constantly on duty. Because of this, many tourists are cautious around the reserved territory. Local residents say that the area has been under special protection since the Cold War. Despite the fact that the area is officially closed to tourists and carefully patrolled, some extreme lovers still manage to enter the closed territory. The main rule, which they recommend to adhere to like-minded people - is in no way to give out their presence. Next - Club 33 in Disneyland
