Route description

This walking line begins on Kun-Tag’s lower southern side. It climbs to an extended mountain circuit, follows the eastern side, reaches the upper ridge and returns westwards to a lower path junction. The ending is above the initial drop-off; arrange the final return to the departure independently. Kun-Tag forms part of the Podkuninsky Mountains and one side of the Yenisei Gates. Open mountain terrain and Krasnoyarsk Reservoir views provide the main impressions. Rocky edges and scree require care; a short line does not establish safe cliff-edge access.
