The mountain "Zymystan", 2,5 kilometers long and 300-400 meters wide, has a height of about 300-350 meters.
According to locals, there are two versions of the origin of the name "Zymystan". According to one of them, if, having climbed to the very top of the mountain, a person screams, then his voice will be heard at a distance of 15 kilometers. According to the second version, it is said that all the witches of this region live on the top of this mountain, and that's why it's called Zymystan (from kaz. mystan - мыстан - witch).

On the slopes of the mountain, as well as on the very top, you can find fossils, mainly shells, mollusks, belemnites. Reddish Martian color of the surface at the top give special charm to the mountain.
