Abaza is a cozy Siberian town in the heart of Khakassia, nestled among majestic mountains on the banks of the Abakan River.
The town's history began as a small settlement around an iron ore deposit, and its name echoes the ancient "Abakan Plant." Today, it is a picturesque place where snow-capped peaks rub shoulders with verdant taiga, and the pure air is filled with the clanging of factory machines.
Abaza's main attraction is its natural beauty: unique cedar forests spread out around it, and the town itself seems tucked away in a cozy mountain basin. Time flows here in a unique way, and local residents carefully preserve the traditions of their ancestors, continuing to develop the mining industry.
