The route, approximately 500 kilometers long, runs from Ufa to the slopes of the Southern Urals. Along the way, 16 Bashneft gas stations are conveniently located. At these stations, drivers can fill up with guaranteed-quality fuel, relax in a comfortable café, or purchase essential travel supplies, including locally produced ones.
The first point of attraction is Mount Malinovaya, its peaks and snow-covered slopes attract snowboarders and skiers. The location is popular year-round – the mountain is considered one of the most accessible "thousanders" (thousanders), and there are marked hiking routes.

The resort's infrastructure offers ample opportunities for family recreation.

Along the route, tourists can visit another landmark: the Kuzhanovskiye Larches, a botanical natural monument of regional significance. The youngest of the larches is 65 years old, while the oldest is approximately 160. The larches have an unusual, dense, oval crown and stand out against the surrounding mixed forests.
