Bald Mountain is one of the most mysterious and beautiful places near Gorokhovets. It rises almost 100 meters above the Klyazma River. It offers a stunning view of the endless forests and the wide floodplain through which the river meanders, along with floodplain meadows and mirror-like lakes. Bald Mountain received its name from the almost complete absence of vegetation, unlike the neighboring hills, where forests flourish. This unusual natural phenomenon has yet to be scientifically explained, but it has given rise to legends. In 1545, the army of the Kazan Khan Amanak, who had been plundering the Nizhny Novgorod lands for several years, was defeated near Gorokhovets. According to legend, the Khan himself died here. He was buried on the banks of the Klyazma River; each soldier brought a handful of earth to his grave, forming a mound. Since then, not a single tree has grown on it. However, the mountain's artificial origin was not confirmed by archaeological excavations conducted in the late 1920s by the renowned scholar Professor O.N. Bader. Research revealed that Lysaya Gora is a natural hill, inhabited as early as the 6th-5th centuries BC by people who did not know metal and used stone and wooden tools. Pottery and bone artifacts (hairpins, awls, and amulets) found in the settlement indicate that settlement continued in this area as early as the first millennium AD. This settlement was fortified on three sides by the steep banks of the Klyazma River and on the fourth by earthen ramparts, the remains of which survive to this day. The Lysaya Gora settlement is currently designated an archaeological site of federal significance.

In clear weather, the summit offers a magnificent view of the nearby mountains and the Main Ural Range.

Oshten is one of the mountains in the western part of the Caucasus Range. Oshten, Pshekha-Su and Fisht form one mountain range, with a wide peak broken into several parts and separated from each other by a saddle running in a south-southeast direction. Absolute height 2804 above sea level.

The mountain is 2308 above sea level. From the top of the mountain and the foothill meadow, there are picturesque views of all 360: The Oshten massif, Mount Blyam, Mount Nagoy-Chuk, the Instructor gap and the Instructor window pass, the Kamennoye More ridge, the Thach and Acheshbok mountains, and the Guzeripl pass.

The trail runs along a steep rocky ascent, which is also a descent, the visibility of the trail is very conditional, in some places the trail runs along the edge of the cliff of the ridge.

The path is not difficult in three stages, but there will be a tiring climb from the foot of the Goryachiy Klyuch sanatorium. At the beginning, the ascent along the “Path of Health” to the “Crimean Pine” location is moderately easy; you need to stick to the old winding path with curbs. In the middle of the climb, after the remains of the technical structure for the personnel, there will be 800 meters of ascent at 30 degrees, it will be difficult even if you are light. The final path, the last 300 meters along the Kokht ridge, the movement relative to sea level is horizontal. Climbing participants are required to: 1. Minimal, but physical preparation for an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. 2. Time reserve for ascent and descent, from 2 hours to 4 hours, especially when climbing in the evening. 3. First of all, do not bypass the water supply and do not forget about auxiliary nutrition. 4. As additional equipment, if an evening ascent to sunset is required, fully charged running flashlights are required. 5. It is not possible to get lost, but WE RETURN intuitively and STRICTLY to the North.

The observation deck is located on the Kotkh ridge. View of the "Valley of Enchantment" and the beginning of the Caucasus Range.
