Route to the Mishoko River gorge. Black noise. Equestrian route
Today we will take a route along the middle tier of the Mishoko Gorge. There is a full range of attractions here: caves, rocks, grottos, waterfalls, panoramic points and even an ancient man's parking lot.
We will head along the riverbed, along stone ledges, boulders, passages, where each time the "rock bag" closes with a beautiful waterfall. We will tell you about the ancient settlement located near this stunning place.
The next place to visit is Black Noise Beach. 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, numerous niches can be seen on the steep limestone walls, washed away by a rapid stream.
Then there is the equestrian route (the weight limit for tourists is 100 kg). You can enjoy calm horseback riding, feel unity with an obedient, strong and intelligent animal even in the city, but you can only drive through panoramic points with views of a deep gorge in the mountains.
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 along to the guitar.

When we reach the most beautiful places, we make a bonfire among the snow-covered fir trees and arrange a hot rest snack. The food will 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.
If you don't have enough impressions, you can go sledding or snowmobiling through the winter snow—covered forest on the way back (additional fee is to be specified).
Frisky flights down a snowy slope or, conversely, the first careful steps accompanied by an instructor — everything is possible here that your heart desires!

Dates and Prices
The tour dates are not confirmed yet. Please, for clarification
The glamping site is set in a beautiful, picturesque location. I’d especially like to highlight the dining - every dish was delicious, and you could tell that a lot of care went into the menu. Nothing was ever repeated, which was a nice touch.
The only downside for me was that the showers didn’t always work reliably. I hope this will be improved in the future.
