Bashkortostan

Bashkortostan has served as a cultural crossroads within Russia since the sixteenth century. This republic lies on the western slopes of the Southern Urals, where forested uplands meet broad river valleys and steppe-influenced country. Its capital, Ufa, stands near the confluence of the Belaya and Ufa rivers; the Belaya continues north to join the Kama. Bashkir traditions remain central to the region’s identity, expressed through the Bashkir language, music and renowned honey production. In the south, Shulgan-Tash, also known as Kapova Cave, preserves Upper Paleolithic rock art. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Bashkortostan.
