Base in the mountains "Formula of active recreation" 4 nights

The campsite is a new Scandinavian-type cottages surrounded by a mountain forest at an altitude of just over 1000 m above sea level. The nearest town is 15 km away. The same distance to the checkpoint of the reserve.

Two hundred meters from the paved road in no way violate the serenity of the forest zaimka. It's not hot in summer... The hubbub of birds and the smell of revived nature in spring... Snow and the hooting of an owl outside the window in winter ... The gold of autumn underfoot and overhead… There is a beech and fir forest around.

In spacious rooms (25 sq. m. m) the rooms are warm and cozy. Standard conditions for two- and three-bed accommodation, and we also have a couple of family two-room apartments.

The mountain base is small, designed for 25-30 people, this is due to an individual approach and special attention to everyone. 

Delicious cuisine, natural, fresh, varied, cooked from the heart.

Guests are involved in a kaleidoscope of adventures from morning to late evening. It's very simple — the team empathy of vivid emotions always encourages communication, what it will be: a wood—burning sauna, a guitar by the campfire or wine with kebabs on the cozy veranda of the cafe is up to you.

    To start with, everyone should visit this magical place called the Republic of Adygea. I was only there for a few days on a short tour, but it felt like I was completely immersed in paradise. The journey from Mineralnye Vody to the village of Kamennomostsky takes about five hours, giving you plenty of time to admire the sunflower fields along the way (I counted ten). We arrived at our accommodation, either tents or cozy cabins, in the evening. The food was amazing (special thanks to our cook, Tatiana, whose meals were so good it was impossible not to overeat:)). We were also given a briefing about what to expect during the trip. After a delicious dinner, I fell into a deep sleep to the sound of birds singing. Since it was summertime, the electricity in the camp was turned off between midnight and 8 a.m., but every morning we woke up to hot water and a tasty breakfast. Each day began with our guides introducing the day’s plans, though everything depended on the weather, which in the mountains can change in an instant. Often, we didn’t know what to expect until the very last moment. Day 1: Canyoning in the Meshoko Gorge I slightly adjusted my itinerary and opted for a hiking route instead of climbing, just wasn’t in the mood for it :) Still, it turned out to be a beautiful, challenging, and unforgettable experience with stunning views all around. We also went horseback riding, listened to legends of the local Adyghe people, and swam at a beach with emerald-colored water and black sand. (The program can be personalized, which is a great bonus:)) In the evening, there was an entertainment program after dinner. This time, our guide Roma hosted a spontaneous concert-style jam session with his guitar, it was incredible. We laughed, sang, and even shed a few tears. It was pure magic. :) Day 2: Rafting and the Granite Canyon We even had time for a walk through the fir forest :) where I learned about a fascinating plant called hogweed. The Granite Canyon was something else, every athlete’s dream, with thrilling rapids to cross, and for those into mindfulness, the perfect place to meditate to the sound of rushing water. It was incredibly atmospheric. The rafting on the Belaya River lasted about an hour, not long enough to take in all the majestic mountain views, but still such a joy. I came out of the water with that lovely, tired feeling that only comes from doing something truly exciting. Next time, I’d love to visit Mount Trident—apparently, that’s where eagles nest. Walking through the forest afterward was also a delight. Add to that a wonderful group of fellow travelers, and it made for an unforgettable day. That evening, we visited thermal springs:) afterwards, I slept like a baby :D Day 3: Wild Caves Words can’t really describe the emotions I felt experiencing these incredible natural formations. The stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, and moonmilk were simply stunning. To reach them, though, I had to crawl through narrow passages, I sacrificed my knees and elbows :). Ended up with quite a few bruises, but it was absolutely worth it :D (Oh :) and the off-road SUV ride to the cave was an adventure in itself, everyone had different reactions, but no one will forget it :D) In Conclusion I only scratched the surface of what Adygea has to offer, there’s so much more to see and experience. If you’re planning a trip, I recommend taking a longer tour. The natural beauty here is absolutely captivating. Just be sure to bring both warm and light clothing, and definitely don’t forget a raincoat, the weather can change in a heartbeat :) Huge thanks to all our guides, Edik, Roma, and Sasha, for the journey and the unforgettable emotions. Thanks also to Oksana and Sasha for their great advice. And of course, thank you to "Big Country" for introducing me to active tourism in Adygea. I’ll definitely be back :)
