The first researchers were delighted with the beautyand even compared the Altai with Switzerland. In Mongolian, the word Altai means "Golden Mountains" and there are good reasons for that. Buddhists believe that Belukha Mountain is the "heart" of the Universe, and ancient Christians also considered Belovodie a blessed country in which people feel happy and peaceful. It is not just a symbol of Altai, it is a place where you can recharge your energy. Many legends are associated with the Belukha mountain, and for a long time it is considered sacred.
Belukha Mountain is a very entertaining object formountaineering and mountain climbing. It is located in a remote remote region, in which no one lives. You can get to it by horse, on foot or by helicopter.
Belukha Mountain is located at the same distancefrom the four oceans - the Arctic, Indian, Pacific and Atlantic - exactly in the center. The well-known philosopher, researcher and artist Roerich NK believed that the Altai (Belukha-gora) is the place of the union of three great religions: Orthodoxy, Buddhism and Islam.
Modern research of geophysicists
It has been scientifically proven that the Belukha mountain iscarrier of strong energy-intensive processes. At this point, intense energy flows from the mantle, through the earth's crust into the upper layers of the ionosphere. Often in the vicinity of Belukha you can see atmospheric glows. Climbing Belukha helps a person get rid of problems and negative thoughts, as he begins to interact with the energy of the terrain, receive impulses from nature and himself radiate them.
But it is worth noting that not everyone can take a longtime to be in such places without fear of harming your health. Local residents, for example, prefer to worship the Great White Mountain at its foot and rise upwards only in case of emergency. All the space on the slopes and the foot of the mountain for the locals is a sacred temple. It can not be investigated and analyzed with the help of the human intellect. This place is mysterious and unpredictable, and people should rise on the Great Mountain only with reverence.
Conquerors of the Peak of Belukha
For the first time Belukha Mountain was conquered by brothersThrone. It happened on July 26, 1914 - this date is considered the beginning of mountaineering in the Altai. In 1926, an attempt was made to climb to the top of the Belukha on the north side, but the expedition members had to return. Only in 1933, an expedition led by Vitaly Abalakov for the first time reached the summit of the Great Mountain, having traveled from its northern side.
To date, the peaks of Belukha attractmany climbers from all over the world. Each year, again and again, climbing, and despite the laid routes and modern equipment, the mountain Belukha still checks people for strength of strength and spirit.
