Kuselyarovo sulfur springs
Ascending mineral springs of the Kutkantau group of springs. It is represented by a series (about 10) hydrogen sulfide springs. They are located on the left slope of the Yuryuzan River valley, between the Idelbaevo 2nd and Kuselyarovo Salavatsky district.
The landscapes in the vicinity of Kuselyarovo village are represented by mixed forests and settled meadows. All the springs are located near Mount Kutkantau, an anticlinal structure with natural asphalt.
1.5 km west of the village. Kuselyarovo, under the slope of Kutkantau, there is the 1st group of mineral springs, which represent a natural outlet of water 25 m from the river; 650 m to the west of it is the Sour spring (diameter of the funnel is 4.5 m, depth is 1.0 m).
Near the village of Kuselyarovo, on the upper floodplain terrace of the river, there is a 2nd, borehole, group of springs. Hydro-geological natural monument of the Republic of Bashkortostan (1965). They are formed in limestones of the Artinsky stage of the lower Permian. In some springs, precipitation of native sulfur on pebbles is observed.
