Tourist Information
The Bektau-Ata mountain steppe massif is a geological park in Kazakhstan. This area is a jumble of granite rocks and cliffs that emerge from the ground, creating unforgettable, fantastical landscapes. Mining operations took place here, including rock crystal mining.
This area resembles a stone ocean; at different times of day and depending on the lighting, the landscape takes on bizarre outlines and shapes. The Aulie Cave, a pilgrimage site, is also located here. Tourists visit the mountaintop and the cave.
