Zyuratkul National Park
Zyuratkul National Park is a Russian national park established in 1993 in the southern part of Satkinsky Raion. The park lies about 30 km south of Satka and 200 km west of Chelyabinsk.
Notable features include Zyuratkul' Lake, a rare mountainous body of water for the Urals 754 m above sea level, with a surface area of 13,2 km2 and a maximum depth of 8 m. Water is slightly mineralised. Because of its clear water and spectacular landscape around, Zyuratkul' is often called "Ural Ritsa".
Also remarkable is a number of mountain ranges, among them Zyuratkul' range. Another range, Nurgush, is the highest point of Chelyabinsk Oblast with a height of 1406 m.
