The Manpupuner rock formations (Man-Pupu-Nyor; Mansi: Мань-Пупыг-Нёр Mansi pronunciation: [manʲ.pupiɣ noːr], literally "Small Idol Mountain"; Komi: Болвано-Из Komi pronunciation: [bolvano iz], literally "Idol Stone") are a set of 7 stone pillars located west of the Ural Mountains in the Troitsko-Pechorsky District of the Komi Republic. They are located on the territory of the Pechoro-Ilychski Reserve on the mountain Man-Pupu-nyor, between the Ilych and Pechora rivers. They are also known as the Seven Strong Men Rock Formations and the Poles of the Komi Republic. Deemed one of the Seven Wonders of Russia, the Manpupuner rock formations are a popular attraction in Russia, though relatively unspoiled by tourism.
