The Akkegershin plateau, located at the junction of the Atyrau and Aktobe regions, approximately 245 kilometers from the city of Atyrau, is one of the unique natural areas of Kazakhstan. Its chalk cliffs and various shaped rock remnants impress any traveler.
The most famous landmark in Akkegershin is a rock remnant called “Three Brothers.” These natural sculptures are often found in travelers’ photos. Some of the rocks “sculpted” by nature itself acquire new shapes over time, opening up from a new angle with each visit.
