Ural Mountains: Ural River
built 606 days ago
The Middle Urals are a relatively low and narrow part of the Ural Mountains, located north of the valley of Ufalei River up to the latitude of Basegi. Their gently sloping hills are blanketing with south taiga. The Middle Urals present the most populated part of the Urals. The major transport routes connecting the Europian Russia and Siberia pass here. The legendary Chousovaya River - the only river in the Urals that crosses the mountain chains from the east to west - runs its waters in the Middle Urals.

The approximate boundary between Europe and Asia is defined by the Ural River and the Ural Mountains to its north. The Ural River flows to the great, inland Caspian Sea, and gives its name to the city of Uralsk on its banks. Lying just inside the Kazakh border with Russia, Uralsk is an agricultural and industrial center, and has been an important trade stop since the early 1600s. Barge traffic has passed up and down the Ural River between the Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains for centuries. Today it is one of the major entry points for rail traffic from Europe to Siberia, servicing the many new oil fields in the Caspian basin and the industrial cities of the southern Urals.
