Ridder
Founded in 1786 after Russian engineer Filipp Ridder discovered polymetallic ore deposits in the area, this town in northeastern Kazakhstan sits in the south-western Altai Mountains along the Ulba River. Known as Leninogorsk from 1941 to 2002, it has since been restored to its original name. The mountain setting and riverside location make it a base for exploring the Altai range.
