Как добраться. Транспорт
Окрестности заимки Лыковых являются одним из участков заповедника «Хакасский». Добраться сюда можно так - от Абазы по горной реке Абакан на катерах или моторных лодках несколько дней до самых верховий реки. Последние километры, до устья Ерината, где находится заимка, нужно идти пешком под рюкзаками.
Описание (английский)
The Lykov family was a Russian family of Old Believers.
The family of six is known for spending 42 years in complete isolation
from human society in an otherwise uninhabited upland of Abakan Range, in Tashtypsky District of Khakassia (southern Siberia). Since 1988, only one daughter, Agafia, survives.
In 1936, their religion was under threat. After Karp Lykov's brother was killed by a communist patrol, Karp and Akulina Lykov with their two children, Savin and Natalia, fled their hometown of Lykovo (Tyumen Oblast) eastward. Two more children, Dmitry and Agafia, were born during the isolation. They ended up in a dwelling in the taiga, near Yerinat River (Abakan river basin), 250 kilometres (160 mi) from any settlement.
In 1978 their location was discovered by a helicopter pilot, who was flying a geological group into the region. The geologists made contact with the family, but the Lykovs decided not to leave the place.
Akulina died of hunger in 1961. Three of the children died in 1981. Karp died in 1988. He is survived by his daughter Agafia Lykova who continued to live in isolation until 16 January 2016 when she was airlifted out to a hospital in Tashtagol,
Russia, from her remote location near Kazakhstan's and Mongolia's
borders. Her condition is related to cartilage deterioration in her
lower extremities. Agafia was treated at a hospital in Tashtagol, and planned to return to the wilderness once emergency services were able to airlift her home.
