Weekend in Adygea

We have breakfast and set off on the route.

On the way, we stop at an observation deck with a 360-degree panorama.

A bird's–eye view is a great way to start a good day!

From this place, it is easy to imagine the story told about the peoples who lived here in bygone times.

We descend into the Granite Canyon, it conquers with its size and extraordinary beauty.

We walk to the water, where the mountain river is squeezed by stone giants.

Walking here is a special pleasure!

Then there is an educational tour to the megalithic dolmen complex.

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

After the route, we return to the base.

In the evening, after dinner, we are waiting for you in our cozy cafe, where you can chat with new friends, listen to music, play board games or sing guitar songs together.

The group will be transported by road to the beginning of the route (20 km).

Our journey begins from 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 does not take much time (about 1 hour), but it will give you 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.

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 clear but not cold water.

There is a full range of attractions here: caves, rocks, grottos, waterfalls and even an ancient man's parking lot!

At the end of the route, have a snack at the most picturesque panoramic point of the Meshoko Gorge.

After lunch, we'll take a leisurely horseback ride.

The view of the gorge you just passed from above, the obedient horse under you is wonderful!

Return to the base.

Supper.

We take a minibus to the Gutter gorge (1,700 meters above sea level).

We climb to the observation point, which offers magnificent panoramic views of the plateau, rock outcrops up to 100 meters high... It's all breathtaking!

Next, we will have a walk over the Kurdzhip gorge.

When we get to the wildest and most beautiful places, among the huge mossy fir trees, we arrange a hot snack and make a campfire.

It will turn out to be extremely tasty and desirable, and the presence of local spirits as a tasting will give our meal a touch of celebration.

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 waters.

It's time to compare the sunset on the plain with the mountain views of the past day.

The gentle and relaxing effect of the thermal spring water, the diffused warm steam rising from 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!

9:00 a.m. Breakfast.

10:00 Transfer to Krasnodar/Mineralnye Vody.
