The real place

Yamantau is the highest peak of the Southern Urals at 1,640 m. US officials have long suspected a large secret bunker complex inside it, and the nearby town of Mezhgorye is closed.

Visiting

The mountain lies within the South Ural Nature Reserve and the area around Mezhgorye is restricted. Many Western governments currently advise against all travel to Russia.
