Its slopes are shrouded in mystical stories about witches, mermaids, and are also associated with legends about the campaigns of Stepan Razin and visits to the mountain by Tatar khans and Russian tsars. Local residents searched for treasures on the slopes of the mountain, and representatives of various religions consider it a sacred place.
