This seems to be a relatively sparse traveled area? Most famous seems to be the Man PuPu Ner Rock Pillars and the Taiga Nuke Craters where they tried to dig a canal by nuclear bombs (seems no tourist has been there so far).
Besides http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...russia-80018-2 I'm aware of very little Information on that area.
Anybody got some information or pointers?

Hi Max
I've never heard of the Taiga craters (can you send me a link to some pictures??) but I have been to Manpupunyor.
I'm afraid I cannot be much help as I did not drive in the area. To be honest, I have serious doubts about whether your route can be done in summer.
This year I plan to cross the north Urals and would like to see the mountains a little west of Ivdel, but I have no information other than what we can both see on Google Maps.
Good luck,
EO
