Shikhans is collective name for four single mountains in the Sterlitamaksky region of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. Gora Shikhan's location is 54° 2' 52" (54.047778°) north latitude, 60° 8' 18" (60.138333°) east longitude. Gora Shikhan has an average elevation of approximately 359 meters above sea level. Ranking as the 5519th tallest mountain in Russia it is certainly not known for it's size. It is unique for two reasons: (1) it is located in a rather flat plain area; (2) it was formed from reefs of late Paleozoic age. Hence, one can even find sea shells on these mountains.
