Rocked by the arteries of the rivers and dressed up in green forests, Bashkiria always hospitably welcomes tourists. Impressing them with its natural beauties, pristine innocence and wide expanses, it gives an unforgettable vacation. Usually it is rafting and fishing. The Belaya River is very famous for such types of recreation. Bashkiria, which has a mass of rivers scattered throughout its territory, as if by an invisible hand directs all flows to this great and mighty reservoir.

General characteristics

White reaches a length of about one and a half thousand kilometers. Being the left tributary of the Kama, it is in no way inferior to it: neither in the we alth of resources, nor in the purity of its waters. The foot of Mount Iremel is the source of the river. Belaya, Bashkiria - these concepts are closely intertwined. After all, this fertile land is surrounded by a waterway along its entire length.

The locals call her Agidel, which means "white" in their language. She crosses the Ural Mountains, entangled in the labyrinths of their rocks and ledges. Belaya is no different from other Ural rivers, except that the exotic and the complete lack of civilization attract vacationers. From deep gorges, deaf thickets of forests and mysteriousrocks woven her landscapes.

In winter, all this beauty freezes. Approximately from mid-November, it is covered with a crispy crust of ice, which sometimes lasts until April itself. Eight cities are located on the Agidel River, including the metropolis of Ufa. The Belaya River is also famous for its reservoirs. Bashkiria has two such structures here (built despite the protests of the community): in the city of Beloretsk and in the village of Yumaguzino.

Royal Halls

Tourists call the beginning of Belaya, the first third of its length, so beautifully and poetically. Rocky cliffs and rising hills frame it along its entire length, creating an atmosphere of a "far away kingdom". Agidel ruffles and worries on rapids and rifts, but overcomes them rather quickly and briskly. Pebbles and sand cover its channel and coastal areas of land. Often, the forest is rafted by the waterway, so lagging behind logs and driftwood are common things for this river. They do not spoil her appearance at all, on the contrary, they bring a "flavor" to the picture, so skillfully drawn by nature.

Fans of fishing rods and spinning rods have always been attracted by the Belaya River. Bashkiria, fishing and tasty fish soup are closely interconnected and it is impossible to imagine this "trio" without at least one component. The royal halls are not a suitable place for this type of recreation. The fish here bite weakly, but the landscape is pleasing to the eye. Those who want to enjoy nature, choose this place. Those who want to enjoy a full bucket of perch caught go to others.

The golden mean

A favorite place for fishermen is the middle section of Agidel. Wandering the mountains of the Southern Urals, it turns to the southwest. But, freed from the mountain chains, it abruptly runs away to the north. The capricious and capricious Belaya River. Bashkiria rightly considers her their obstinate daughter, who becomes meek and friendly if you go to her with kindness and learn the art of pacification.

Fishermen master this skill, so they boldly go to this particular section of Agidel, which stretches from Meleuz to the city with a million inhabitants - Ufa. They fish here on a donk, a fly fishing rod and a fishing rod with a float. But the most popular way of fishing is, of course, wiring with a purse. Using these methods, you can get a rich catch of ides, bream and white bream.

The place here is really not very picturesque, but quiet and peaceful. Everywhere there are small settlements where you can replenish the supply of food. On the banks of the river, you can often see entire tent cities set up not only by fishermen, but also by ordinary tourists who come here to relax from the dust and noise of big cities.

From Ufa to the mouth

This is the last, third, section of Belaya. In this area, it becomes even wider and deeper. Crossing a huge city, the water artery looks majestic, as if it were the mistress of this metropolis. On both banks you can see a string of fishermen standing with fishing rods and talking peacefully about something. Many people can pull out more than five kilograms in just one morning, usually these are podusts and ides.

In a more remote area, there are deep pools and pits in which catfish like to hide so much. If you specifically go hunting for them, it is unlikely that you will catch prey. This case is unprofitable. But sometimes there are lucky ones who manage not only to catch a catfish, but to pull out a whole giant. There was a case when in this place one man caught a 35-kilogram individual, one and a half meters long.

On this site there are crossings, boats and recreation centers with a noisy horde of tourists. But the fish is not afraid of all this and willingly pecks. The Belaya River, generous in catch. Bashkiria, where recreation is represented not only by fishing, also pleases visitors with excellent rafting and other entertainment.

Alloy

Agidel is a very good place for such a holiday. Wide and fast, sometimes treacherous and framed by mysterious rocks, it attracts lovers of this sport. The ideal time for it is from May to September. You can choose a tour for every taste: from three days to two weeks. There are also separate options for experienced professionals, for amateurs and even for "green" beginners.

For example, a tour called "Relax". The duration of the rafting is 6 days. During the day, tourists fight with the water element, overcoming rapids, and at night they sleep in tents on the shore. The instructor tells in detail about the conditions of this type of recreation, he plays the role of an observer and controller. Vacationers perform all the main functions themselves: they put up tents, cook food in cauldrons,rowing with oars. Such a pleasure costs about a thousand rubles in one day.

Experience the power of the elements and the adrenaline rush - such opportunities are given to every visitor by the Belaya River. Bashkiria is a country of primeval silence, ecologically clean forests and lakes, so each of you should spend your vacation here at least once in your life.

Meaning of the river

Believe me, rest is not all that surprises and attracts this river. Belaya is one of the most important waterways of Bashkiria. Huge ships carrying oil, building materials and gravel-sand mixtures ply along it. Cruises are carried out here, the route of which stretches from the European part of the Russian Federation to Ufa itself.

White is also a witness to many historical events, and especially popular uprisings. Emelyan Pugachev and Salavat Yulaev trampled its banks and washed themselves in cool waters. By the way, when the Belaya branch from the Kama, you can notice a different shade of the rivers. Agidel is much lighter, it seems that a lot of milk was spilled into the river.

The Belaya River, Bashkiria… Photos of these places amaze with the beauty of the landscape. They are rightly called the cradle of the Urals. If you come here for at least a few days, you will fall in love with this place with all your heart and soul. The best and most amazing wonders of the world are gathered here on the banks of the Agidel. Deep dark caves, cliffs, standing on the edge of which you lose the feeling of reality, and dense forests, like puzzles, create an interesting and fascinating picture. Be sure to come here and enjoy the hospitality of these distant and charming places.
