What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Iron Mountain located near the city of Zheleznovodsk, it would even be more accurate to say that the tourist area and Resort Park partially located on its slopes. Its height is 853 meters.
It got its name not from the fact that there is iron ore and it was once mined here, but because of mineral springs with a high iron content. Yes, all mineral healing springs of Zheleznovodsk, including the famous Slavyanov and Smirnovsky SPRINGS, comes from the bowels of this mountain. By the way, the mountain is paleovolcanic in origin, i.e. it is a failed volcano. So we can say that the mineral waters here come from a volcano, although not held.
For tourists, the mountain is interesting because a health trail leads to its top-terrencourt, and those who overcome it will receive not only a charge of cheerfulness and health, but also good views of the city and the surrounding area. At the top there is an unfinished stone platform, where the view is blocked by trees, but good ones are opened along the way.
