Every year, the park is visited by tens of thousands of people.

Kutuk is one of the three natural monuments located in the park. The list also includes the Kuperl karst bridge (remnants of a collapsed karst cave) and Bear Glade. There are laid foot and equestrian routes to all the monuments.

The underground halls of the 36 caves of the Kutuk-Sumgan tract are rich in stalactites, stalagmites, grottoes, and cave pearls.
Kutuk tract
In fact, it is a speleological museum-laboratory. Here along the river valleys you will find karst caves, a tunnel, a bridge, funnels of various sizes, wells and numerous springs. In the underground halls of about 40 caves you can see stalactites, stalagmites, grottoes, chambers, calcite dams, and cave pearls. The Kutuk-Sumgan tract is a hydrogeological monument of nature. Sumgan cave, the longest in the Urals, attracts tourists with its stone beauties and the scale of underground architecture. The total length of the strokes is 9860 meters, and the depth is 134 meters.

Bridge "Kuperlya"
Nature spent millions of years on the creation of the Kuperlya karst bridge: the river Kuperlya, having disappeared into the underground channel, began to carve its way under the ground, developing a cave. Gradually, the roof of the cave became thinner and finally collapsed, leaving part in the form of a bridge. The length of the bridge is 35 meters, the width in the middle right above the river is slightly more than a meter, the height of the span is 16 meters.
