The Manpupuner rock formations (Man-Pupu-Nyer; Мань-Пупу-нёр) or the Seven Strong Men Rock Formations are a set of 7 gigantic abnormally shaped rock pillars around 42 meters high jutting out of a hilly plateau located north of the Ural mountains in the Troitsko-Pechorsky District of the Komi Republic.
Deemed one of the Seven Wonders of Russia, the manpupuner rock formations are a very popular attraction in Russia, though not well known on an international level. Their height and abnormal shapes supposedly make the top of these rock giants inaccessible even to experienced rock-climbers.
