    You will see a stunning gorge with its beauty, at the bottom of which, under the water column, rests the village of Stary Chirkey. A bright and recognizable landmark of Dagestan awaits you, the deepest canyon in Europe. 

    The famous green ribbon of the Sulak Canyon, winding between the narrow rocks, sparkling in the sun, carries its waters from the Chirkeyskaya hydroelectric dam to the Miatlinskaya dam. 

    From the observation deck of the village of Dubki you will have a view of its most spectacular curves.

Here you will have the opportunity to bungee jump for an additional fee.
