Day 3 - A walk through the Meshoko gorge, Black noise, Khadjokh Gorge, horse riding route
The group will be transported by road to the beginning of the route (20 km).
Our journey begins with the Khadjokh Gorge, a place where the Belaya River makes its way to the plain through a narrow canyon.
We go to the Black Noise (the beach on the Belaya River).
The tour will not take much time (about 1 hour), but it will give an idea of what a canyon of a mountain river is.
Here, on the steep, almost completely bare limestone walls, numerous niches can be seen, washed away by a rapid stream.
Very impressive!
After the walk, we move to the Meshoko gorge.
We will walk along the canyon of the river, along its stone ledges, boulders, passages, where each time the "rock bag" closes with a beautiful waterfall, with clean but not cold water.
There is a full set of attractions here: caves, rocks, grottoes, waterfalls and even an ancient man's parking lot!
At the end of the route, we will have a snack at the most picturesque panoramic point of the Meshoko Gorge.
After lunch, we will take a leisurely horse ride.

When we get to the wildest and most beautiful places, among the huge mossy firs, we arrange a hot rest snack, make a bonfire.
It will turn out to be extremely tasty and desirable, and the presence of local spirits as a tasting will give our meal a festive touch.
The route is circular, so we manage to get to the most interesting places.
On the way back, we will stop at a local market, taste Adyghe cheeses and drinks, and buy souvenirs.
Return to the base, dinner.
In the evening, we "warm up" our emotions in the hot thermal springs.
It's time to compare the sunset on the plain with the mountain views of the past day.
The soft and 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!

The base in the mountains is the "Formula of active recreation".

GPS: 44.204653, 40.084384

A significant difference from other accommodation that guests should know about is the location. Our base in the mountains is brand new Scandinavian–type cottages surrounded by a mountain forest at an altitude of just over 1000 m above sea level. The nearest settlement is located 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.

Our guests talk about the special atmosphere prevailing at the recreation center. 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. Our mountain base is small, designed for 25-30 people, this is due to an individual approach and special attention to everyone.

The base in the mountains belongs to a tour operator that conducts all active events. Moreover, all the components of the active program: rafts, bicycles, jeeps, buses, equipment, mountain shelters are the property of the host tour operator. For our guests, this means that there are no problems, expectations, inconsistencies, misunderstandings, and also that nothing will interfere with your adventures!

Our delicious cuisine is natural, fresh, varied, cooked from the heart.

Guests are involved in a kaleidoscope of adventures from morning to late evening. What it will be: a wood—burning sauna, a guitar by the campfire or wine with kebabs on the cozy veranda of the cafe - it's up to you. The instructors, who, like the guests, live at the base, will help to organize a pleasant pastime.

The recreation center “Formula of active recreation" consists of four new comfortable cottages decorated in Scandinavian style. They perfectly fit into the forest landscape of the middle mountains of the Azish range.

Bright rooms decorated with natural wood, with all amenities, cozy verandas and picnic areas.

Parking is available on site, there is an excellent wood-burning sauna and a kitchen for common use (2 gas stoves, kitchenware, cutlery).
