The flow of the Blue River itself winds strongly in places in a wide riverbed. However, the vast majority of mountains are completely dry during the year and surface water is lacking here. Therefore, for local conditions, any water flow with a flow throughout the year is very rare.

Such quiet green places are slow throughout the area. Thanks to a large rocky outcrop, a relatively large oasis with a stable groundwater level was once created here. Trees will be kept here for a long time, and even a relatively dense forest for local conditions. Ideal for overnight stays.

Although it may not look like it at first glance, the river can be waded on foot. The flow of the river increases, of course, during the spring thaw.

The rock walls in the morning sun rise above the mostly dry riverbed. For most of the year, the river has little water and the banks are mostly gravel benches. The path usually winds along the stream, but often crawls over the bottom of the valley and climbs the rocky slopes around.

You can always meet herders here, chasing their herds, or their yurts.

Contrasting colors create very diverse shapes almost everywhere along the way. In this case, it is a light vein penetrating older dark rocks.

The valley of the Blue River is mostly pleasantly open with a nice view. Just connect from the riverbed to the surrounding slopes and there is no shortage of scenery.

The valley of the Blue River winds like a green thread through a colorful wasteland.
