One of the most unique cultural monuments of Rudny Altai is Ak-Baur. Ak-Baur got its name from the hill of the same name and a grotto with a natural hole “on the roof” and paintings inside. The word "Ak-Baur" is sometimes literally translated as "white liver
In the modern Kazakh language, the word “bauyr” has a figurative meaning - younger brother, and it can be associated with the concept of “younger”, “smaller”, since next to the low Ak-Baur hill there are the Kyzyl-tas (Red Stone) mountains. The Ak-Baur grotto seems to “look” to the west, and if you watch the sunset from it, the Kyzyl-tas mountains really seem red.
