New Year's wonders of the Caucasus

Guided tour of Kislovodsk and its surroundings. Let's look at the famous Rome Mountain on the way to the Honey Waterfalls (eco-collection of 200 rubles per person is paid separately), formed by the flow of the river in the granite of the Rocky Ridge. The descent into the canyon of the river will impress with its gloom and mystery.

Drunk-breakfast (very late).

We will have an excursion to one of the most interesting places on Earth — the Chegem gorge.
The locals say: Those who have not been to Chegem have not seen the Caucasus.

Indeed, this gorge has everything that Kabardino-Balkaria can rightfully be proud of: the amazing beauty of the mountains, rushing waterfalls and clear mountain rivers.

In winter, waterfalls freeze, turning into amazing sculptures of natural origin, a grandiose ice cascade. The Chegem waterfalls in winter are the cold and wild beauty of Kabardino—Balkaria's nature.

You can see giant columns of ice, transparent columns and stalactites of frozen water descending to the river itself. Like chandeliers with crystal iridescent fringes, icy candles hang over the ceiling.

It's time for a swim! We are going to the Geduko thermal complex (for an additional fee of 700 rubles per person). The mineral waters of Kabardino-Balkaria are a real treasure, riches that burst out of the ground hundreds of years ago and made the republic a health resort.

The water here is special — it contains iodine, bromine, boron, so it is especially indicated for people with thyroid problems, it contains a lot of silicic acid and other organic compounds.
