Uy-Tas rock, stone - information for tourists.

The stone resembles a huge house, if you drive up to the stone at dusk, the stone takes on mystical outlines and becomes like anything, someone sees a huge dark house without windows and light in them, someone sees a dark ball, at dusk the outlines are blurred and the stone really looks like a dark huge ball when viewed from a distance. At the local border outpost, there is a tradition of going to the stone and leaving your name on it when a soldier finishes his military service. The stone is also sacred, some locals say that the stone is alive.

Nobody knows how the stone appeared in this place, presumably once upon a time there was a strong earthquake and the stone fell off the mountain range and rolled into the valley.
