Iremel is considered a holy mountain, a place of power. Climbing the Iremel is unforgettable experience. This walking route is popular with tourists and esoterics. The slopes are covered with sharp float stones – rock glaciers, so climbing requires special care. Each of the four altitudinal belts of Iremel is presented with its flora: from coniferous and deciduous forests in the lower belt to mountain tundra on the tops. You can also meet “stone pots” – round holes with diameter of 2-3 meters, where the rainwater is flocked and it is drinkable. The weather here is very changeable.
The sources of rivers Tygyn, Sinyak, Big Avnyar, Karagayka and Tyulyuk are located at the foot of the mountain. They all are the tributories of the river Belaya. The valley of Tygyn river is known as Stone river as its significant part is strewn with stones.
