Tourist Information
In ancient times, minerals such as emerald, tin, aquamarine, and beryl were mined in the Delbegeti mountains. The miners were people from the Chud or Chud tribe, the tribe had mining skills and was considered very ancient. The Russian first settlers in the area (the Old Believers) knew about this tribe of Chud and found their mines where they extracted their minerals.
Modern scientists refer the Chud tribe to the Andronovo tribes. Other scientists believe that the Andronovo culture belongs to the civilization of the Aryans, who at one time went to India in the II millennium BC. There are rock carvings and petroglyphs in the Delbegeti mountains, which were deposited by later tribes that inhabited the region.
