May weekend in the mountains of Adygea

After breakfast, we will be taken by car to the checkpoint of the reserve, from where the route will begin. 

On this day we are going on a real hike!

It will pass through the territory of the reserve, in the area of alpine meadows. 

Our way lies through the Stone Sea.  

Ahead is the boundless expanse of the plateau with karst craters and white patches of snowfields, a breathtaking panorama from a height of more than two kilometers to the peaks of gray Oshten, Fisht and much more.

The route does not require special training — it is a simple trekking!

In the late afternoon, we return to the base, where a delicious dinner awaits us.

At 20:00 we are waiting for you by the campfire, we will roast kebabs together, taste Adyghe cheeses and local spirits.

Today we are going to exploreGranite Canyon. 

We take good pictures at picturesque points, approach narrow places where the water is clamped in a granite vice.

Then we go to the largest dolmen of the Western Caucasus. 

This "giant" makes a pretty strong impression. 

We will talk about the amazing mysteries of dolmens, about the time of the emergence and disappearance of ancient culture.

We will explore the exhibits of the nature museum, observe the animals of the aviary complex, then walk along the forest trails among the fir giants.

This is not the end of our adventure! 

We're going to the hot springs.

The gentle relaxing effect of the thermal spring water, the diffused warm steam rising above the surface of the pool, the stars of the night sky, the play of light and sound — all this is an excellent end to a good day!

After breakfast, we leave for the beginning of the route on an open all—terrain vehicle - GAZ 66. 

You will have a short but memorable cast to the object.

The location of our mountain base and the all—terrain vehicle drop allows you to start with the most interesting - from the wild places of the Rufabgo waterfalls.

Here you will see waterfalls surrounded by steep slopes and stone terraces, grottoes, steep rock corridors up to 150 m high and, passing through the "stone labyrinths", visit historical sites — the "zindan" of a medieval fortress, an ancient altar and menhirs. 

We'll have a picnic on the route.

The Khadjokh Gorge and the Black Noise complete the full-day route.

At the request of tourists and based on weather conditions, it is possible to walk through the canyon with elements of canyoning (4 waterfalls on water using special equipment) or a hiking route along the river canyon.

In the late afternoon we return to the base, where we will have a delicious dinner, natural home cooking, gatherings in a warm company.

9:00 a.m. Breakfast.

10:00 Transfer to Krasnodar / Mineralnye Vody (extra charge).
