Russia is famous not only for its death zones, but also for places of power that can help people in different situations. The Ural spirits of nature are ready to listen to their requests in certain corners, and Mount Svetelka near Togliatti makes wishes come true.
In ancient times, the ancestors felt they were part of the elements and thanked them for all the gifts sent to earth. The Urals cannot pamper guests with an abundance of waterfalls, but one unique analogue is located in the Perm Territory near the village of Suksun. Local residents were the first to make copper samovars, which later began to be produced in Tula, after the fossil deposits were found. In the 18th century, Akinfiy Demidov built a plant, which became the culprit for the emergence of this corner, where today you can admire the landscapes and taste aromatic tea. Then you can go to Plakun, which delights people because of its majestic appearance. Water bursts out of the ground under the roots of an ancient pine tree, and then falls down from a height of 7 meters to scatter millions of splashes around. Locals consider them to be the tears of a girl, telling travelers a long story. This beauty fell in love with the poor guy, but the parents found their daughter a rich betrothed and did not allow her to be near the chosen one. Then the couple decided to flee, only the chase quickly overtook the lovers, and the young man was thrown into the dungeon, which became the cause of his death. The family imprisoned the bride in a mountain near the river bank, after which this person shed many tears, remembering her ruined life, and then this natural beauty appeared.
Experts call it the Ilyinsky spring, because in the old days a monk lived next to it in a cell. He cured various ailments of people and animals with the help of prayer and clean water, which does not deteriorate for a long time and retains its useful properties. For healing, you need to stand under an ice shower and plunge into the waterfall three times, and then gain strength and return youth, but even in summer the water temperature of +5 degrees does not allow tourists to bathe. In winter, the place of power does not freeze, but is covered with a 2-meter layer of ice through which you can see the movement of the stream. Pilgrims come here at any time of the year, after which they participate in processions of the cross, and the waterfall itself was consecrated in the 17th century after the appearance of the icon "Burning Bush".
She sailed along the Sylva River to a Tatar who was fishing, but the man pushed the shrine away, which the next day reappeared in this place. The man pulled the find out of the water and spoke to the monks passing by. They immediately saw this as a sign from above, after which they built the Tokhtarevskaya chapel on the bank, naming it after the owner of the icon. Then, in 1694, the villagers erected a temple, where believers began to come to look at the image of the Mother of God, saving the souls of sinners and protecting humanity from fires. Before her, they pray for deliverance from addictions that destroy life, but in the 30s the holy place was plundered. He managed to preserve the style of ancient architecture, after which the valuable rarity of history was transferred to Khokhlovka and stands together with other masterpieces. The woman hid the icon, and then transferred it to the church of Peter and Paul,where she still pleases the parishioners.
The next corner worth visiting is the Iskorskoye settlement, located near the village of Nyrob in the Perm Territory. In ancient times, there was a sanctuary for the goddess Mokoshi, but then Christians replaced the pagan idol with Paraskeva Friday. This saint is responsible not only for trade, but also brings health, protects young girls and sends children to spouses. In a holy place, you can quickly establish contact with the forces of heaven, and then pay attention to the crevice between the two rocks. Locals call it the Narrow Street leading to the top of the mountain, and the daredevils who have managed to overcome the difficult route are freed from all sins. There they are waiting for a stone that fulfills any desires, if you put your hands on it and, with your eyes closed, ask the ancient spirits for a miracle.
Another similar place is Glyadenovskaya mountain, which was previously used by ancestors for rituals. The first sacrifices were made here before our era, and ended in the 19th century. People from Asia and China came here to appease the gods, and brought animals with them. After the offerings were burned, the smoke was supposed to tell heaven about the requests of the pagans, and today the gods still listen to the words of people, opening invisible passages between the worlds before them, so that guests can receive strength and health if they are persistent in their intentions.

Now readers will visit Samarskaya Luka, which is the most beautiful corner of the country, but this place has its own anomalous zone, where many mysterious events take place. Svetelka is a small hill on the banks of the Volga, but thousands of fans of unusual phenomena come here to personally experience the effect of a place of power. Until the 19th century, it was called Karaulny Bugrom, because from the top it was possible to observe the ships. The Orlovs-Davydovs built a tower on the top, which Empress Catherine liked so much that she gave her favorite all the lands that were visible from here. Then he fell out of favor, and the peasants destroyed this glass miracle in 1906, giving the mountain a new name. In this place, you can often see UFOs, and tourists, in addition to hallucinations and losses in time, lose their devices that fail. Many science lovers have found out that in this place there is a break in the earth's crust, which has become the culprit for the emergence of powerful energy flows. During the ascent to the top, negative thoughts and problems leave their heads, only then the guests feel disappointed, because together with the amazing structure they see cell towers and a rusty gazebo covered with inscriptions of various contents.
Here are just a few people know that the mountain really fulfills four desires, only you need to correctly approach this issue. You need to have a compass and round stones without sharp chips with you, and then, after completing the path, turn to the east and bow to the sun in order to fulfill material or spiritual dreams. Then the stone rolls off the hand to the center of the site, but if you can't get there, you don't need to despair, because you can come back here many times. The south is associated with love requests, and the west side is responsible for health. They turn to the north if they want to get rid of the negative, carrying out similar actions, and you can also just throw an object in this place, and then wait for the reaction of the Higher Forces. They love courageous persons with a purpose in life, so they willingly help such guests to realize their plans. It is not without reason that the European Summit was held in this corner and is the summer residence of the head of the Russian Federation.
