At the interactive stand you can examine the artifact and listen to the legend about the hunter Jirkap - this is the first legendary skier of the Komi land, whose memory has reached us thanks to mythology. According to the legend, Jirkap made a ski from "his own tree" - in the Komi language, as pu, which Jirkap searched for a long time before making a pair of skis. The hunter's soul and happiness are contained in "his own tree". This tree was a pine. The bow is decorated with a carved head of a moose, which serves as an anchor-brake.

Don't miss the chance to win a trip to the Manpupuner Plateau - one of the Seven Wonders of Russia. There are seven stone pillars with the height from 30 to 42 meters, the age of these rocks is more than 500 million years. Travelers first reached the plateau only 100 years ago. Before that, only shamans of the Mansi people climbed the plateau - there they restored their magical powers. According to tourists' testimonies, on the plateau one wants to keep silent, and many people cannot hold back tears because of the greatness of the "place of power".
