Description
Mount Sugomak, located near the city of Kyshtym in the Chelyabinsk region, is the second highest mountain in the mountain range on the western side of Kyshtym. Its height is 591 meters above sea level. It is located next to the highest mountain of this massif - Egoza, 607 meters above sea level.
Mount Sugomak is a rocky peak covered with mixed forests and various rare plants. Its territory is also formed by Lake Sugomak, the Sugomak cave and a small mountain with sloping rocky sides at the very shore of the lake - Golaya Sopka.
The toponym "Sugomak" is probably of Bashkir origin. The version associated with the Bashkir words “һууғомаҡ” (water rat) or “sugomak”, as well as the assumption of a connection with ancient Turkic male names, do not have unequivocal confirmation.
