Kuelporr ( Russian Куэльпорр ) is a base of the Russian Mountain Rescue (Kontrolno-spassatelnaja Sluzhba, KSS), in which a small hotel and a Banja are. It is located on the Kola Peninsula in the Kunijok Valley, in the center of the Chibinen , in the Russian Oblast of Murmansk . Kuelporr is located on the territory of the Kirovsk district .
Kuelporr is one of the few permanently inhabited places in the mountains. It can be reached from Kirovsk via a road about 25 kilometers long, but in summer it is only accessible with off-road vehicles. The station is named after a 901.8 m high mountain about three kilometers south-southeast .
Kuelporr is a popular destination for campers and also serves as a base for day trips for hikers and mountaineers. About a kilometer away there is an (unspectacular) waterfall , which is also quite popular with tourists; In the immediate vicinity of the waterfall there is a ridge in which experiments with the code names Dnepr-1 and Dnepr-2 on the use of nuclear explosions in mining were carried out in 1972 and 1984 . The relatively small "atomic bombs" ignited in tunnels had an explosive force of 2.1 and 1.7 kilotons respectively . According to employees of the mountain rescue service, radiation that is classified as dangerous for humans can no longer be measured there.
