Ninety seconds on Jeti-Ögüz Rocks
An hour is enough for the rocks, which you can see from the road. Give the rest of the day to the gorge of forest and waterfalls behind them.
The canyon is made up of several sandstone formations. Part of it looks like seven bulls, which gives the place its name.
The Broken Heart is a separate formation nearby. Its legend tells of a woman who died of a broken heart after two suitors killed each other over her.
Behind the rocks the gorge runs back into forest and waterfalls, so go there if you have longer.
