Description
Muradymovskoe Gorge (Bash. Moraҙym tarlauyғy) is a natural park in the Southern Urals, located on the territory of the Kugarchinsky and Zilairsky districts of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

The area of the park is 23,586 hectares.
Geological features
Muradymovskoe Gorge is known for its picturesque rock outcrops, where reef limestones of the Lower, Middle and Upper Devonian are exposed. These limestones continue to the Maly Ik River and further north, forming steep, almost vertical cliffs up to 100 meters high. These cliffs are easily accessible for geological research and are of considerable interest to scientists.
Sights and natural features
The park is known for its high concentration of caves - there are 46 caves with diverse morphology, sediments, hydrology and microclimate. They are of great cultural and historical value. Among them:
- Staromuradymovskaya (Smoked) Cave: has human rock paintings dating back to the end of the Mesolithic - beginning of the Neolithic (about 8 thousand years ago).
- Golubiny Grotto: an ancient human settlement from the Mesolithic was discovered here.
- Novomoradimovskaya Cave: the longest and richest in dripstone formations.

Among them are 11 endemics and 17 relict species, as well as 45 species included in the "Red Book of the Bashkir ASSR" and 9 species in the "Red Book of the RSFSR".
