The Manpupuner rock formations are a set of 7 stone pillars located west of the Ural mountains in the Troitsko-Pechorsky District of the Komi Republic. They are located on the territory of the Pechoro-Ilychski Reserve on the mountain Man-Pupu-nyor (in the Mansi language - "a small mountain of idols"), between the Ilych and Pechory rivers. They are also known as the Seven Strong Men Rock Formations and the Poles of the Komi Republic. Their name in the Komi language means "Mountain of idols". There are numerous legends associated with Manpupuner. The formations were once considered sacred by the local Mansi people, and climbing them was regarded as a sin.
