The webcam online broadcasts Mount Tserkovka located in the resort area of Belokurikha. Mount Tserkovka in Belokurikha is the main tourist attraction of the resort. The name of this mountain is due to the bizarre rock on its top, which resembles the dome of an Orthodox church. A cross is placed directly on this rock, which further enhances its resemblance to an Orthodox church.
Climbing to the top of the Church, enjoy the amazing panorama of the resort town of Belokurikha, the view of the picturesque Biysk plain and the mountains of the Cherginsky range. There is a cafe where you can have a delicious snack and drink a cup of tea made on mountain herbs. Near the cafe, you can use the telescope that is sometimes displayed here to explore the surrounding area in detail.
The Church rock itself is located a little below the crest of the mountain, on the edge of a steep descent. At the top, it narrows and is crowned with a stone block that resembles the dome of a church. On this "onion" is located the cross. Nature has done its best here, creating a very recognizable image of the Orthodox dome. On the eastern side of the Church, in former times, there was a chapel and a tree sacred to the Altaians.
Mount Tserkovka is located within the balneoclimatic resort of Belokurikha. Thanks to the healing radon springs and the healing properties of the local microclimate, these places are often compared to the famous Swiss resort of Davos. Here are popular Russian sanatoriums, such as" Katun"," Siberia"," Belokurikha", with a rich medical base. The resort area is well organized and equipped with the necessary infrastructure.

The height difference during the ascent is about 550 meters.
A ticket for the cable car costs 400 rubles per person. You can rent a blanket for the time of lifting (for 100 rubles) or buy a raincoat for 200 rubles. In the cold season-this is a very popular service. The seats of the cable car first float over Dunyashkin's log, and then-over a picturesque clearing, around which pine trees grow.
