Description

Larkin Gorge, also known as Larkin Mill, is a picturesque place located four kilometers from the village of Tyuluk in the Orenburg region. The history of this place is connected with a water mill, owned by a miller named Larkin, which stood between two rocks near the Tyulyuk River.

You can only get to the gorge on foot, as it is located on the territory of the reserve, where vehicles are prohibited. The road to it is paved and safe for pedestrians.

The Tyulyuk River, on the banks of which the gorge is located, is one of the tributaries of the Belaya River. Its source is located at an altitude of about 900 meters above sea level, and its length is 26 kilometers. The river is characterized by a rapid current and often attracts swimming tourists.

Larkino Gorge attracts many tourists with its beauty: the sound of the river, refreshing water, mountain air and rock formations. It is often visited in conjunction with climbing Mount Big Iremel, since both attractions are located close to each other.

History of the gorge

The history of Larkin Gorge says that the mill located here was the most remote of all and was located near two rocks, between which the Tyuluk River flows. On one of the rocks where the mill was located, a mount for driving a huge mill wheel has been preserved, as well as broken logs and boards.

The river on which the Larkin mill gorge is located is called Tyulyuk. It is one of the highest mountain rivers in this region and serves as one of the tributaries of the Belaya River. The source of the river is located at an altitude of approximately 900 meters above sea level. The length of the Tyulyuk River is 26 kilometers. Throughout its entire length, the river is difficult to navigate (no trails, thickets of bushes), only in a few places there are fords. The river is cold and stormy, but this does not stop many people from swimming in it.
