Julia Stepochkina I liked it very much! wild nature very clean and nice! The fern is impressive, it is rampant, I have not seen anything like it anywhere else! Amazing place! We went down to the waterfall, just found ourselves in a fairy tale! When you walk along a path in the forest, it seems that this is the most the best place in the world) People, thank you for protecting this corner untouched by civilization, it even breathes somehow differently)))
Elena Chebotkova Sea of impressions. We received a lot of positive emotions. Everywhere is clean. The only thing to which there is a small wish is that there are too few animals in the living corner area. I would like to see there representatives of other species, besides those that are there.
Lexx Were at the January holidays. A waterfall, rivers, sledding from a hill right opposite the entrance and then went further - there is such a big dolmen, and a real live deer with horns and in the neighboring enclosure 2 wolves run in a circle and lick their lips at a deer. It can be seen that such wild animals cannot be found in urban zoos. There was an exhibition in the museum but we didn't go and didn't go to the rope park either - it was cold. Probably because they were sober and with small children
Lyubov Kasyutina The beauty and scale of this vast place conquered. Thanks to the workers of the reserve for the preservation of this pristine natural wealth.
Elena. Usik Good place for family vacation in nature, there is a rope park for children, I liked the museum in which there are seats and there is a film about Caucasian nature, the entrance to the territory of the reserve costs 300 rubles. There is also a dolmen.
Alexey Pobegailov The administration was brazen, new year holidays made an entrance 600r. per person, although it has always been 150-200r. In fact, they are cashing in on a unique natural landscape that does not belong to them.
Guzeripl - a village in the Republic of Adygea, located in the valley of the Belaya River. Have the same name Mountain peak- Guzeripl, height - 2158m, located in the eastern part of the high plateau Lago-Naki and Mountain pass separating the valleys of the Mutny Teplyak and Armenianka rivers. According to J.N. Kokov, in the first part of the toponym there may be a proper name Guzer (Guzer), the second part can be compared with the Adyghe stem pl (en) - "to look" or in the meaning of pl - "beautiful". This basis often appears as part of personal names, forming nicknames. According to K.Kh. Meretukov, the toponym originally had the form G'ozerypl. Based on this, some researchers argue that the translation of the toponym was based on the Adyghe gozerypl - “fly”. There is another argument as well. As you know, the secret path connecting the Ubykhs with the Abadzekhs was called Gozerypl - "landmark on the way." The trail went from the modern village of Dagomys through the Main Caucasian Range to the place where the village of Guzeripl is located
GUZERIPL (2158) - the peak is located southeast of the city of Oshten. The name from Adyghe is translated ambiguously. According to one version they translate as; on the other: or.
GUZERTL (GUZERIPL). - In our opinion, the phonetically composition of the toponym is somewhat modified. Probably, its initial form was Gozerypl. But as a result of diphthongization about (u + e), a secondary form Guzarypl was formed, which was assigned to a geographical object. There are a number of conflicting statements about the origin of the name of the toponym. Some argue that the name of the toponym was based on the word gyozerypl, which exists in the Adyghe language: There is another argument as well. As you know, the secret mountain path, connecting the Ubykhs with the Abadzekhs, was called Gozerypl. . The trail went from the village of Dagomukov (now Dagomys) through the ridge to the place where the current village of Guzeripl is located. This last judgment among specialists is considered the most acceptable in explaining the etymological meaning of the name Guzarypl. Guzeripl is the center of the Caucasian Reserve. Its surroundings are famous for its sights. Here is a museum that demonstrates the fauna and flora of these places. During 1942-1943. Guzeripl was where the troops were operating Soviet army and partisan units. In August 1942, a fierce battle with the Nazi invaders took place here. The detachment, led by Senior Lieutenant Shipa, completely smashed the elite groups. The Nazis did not pass through the ridge to Sochi. In the district of the reserve, a monument was erected to those who died in this battle. In the vicinity of Guzeripl found interesting monuments antiquities, including dolmens. A bronze hammer, a helmet, spears and gold coins, a large stone vase, beads, and stone cannonballs were found in one of the burial mounds. The name Guzeripl belongs to the mountain, the village and the river, which flows from the right side into the river. White in the same village.
One of the most beautiful places The south of Russia is, undoubtedly, Adygea, its mountainous part.
I confess, I never rented a house there, there was no need for it. From Krasnodar to the mountain fairy tale of Adygea 150-200 km. We leave at 6 am and return at 21 pm. We can have lunch in one of the many cafes, but more often we just take sandwiches, fruits and hot raspberry tea from home.
Today I will tell you about the Sights of Adygea, or rather about one February day in Adygea, which we started with a trip to Guzeripl. We walked around the reserve there, went to the mountains to Partizanskaya Polyana, admired the Granite Canyon and got the most vivid emotions from the view of the Lago-Naki plateau from the Utyug cliff.
So, I invite you to witness our weekend trip, and I will try to convey the clean mountain air and the beauty of this area through photographs.
We left Krasnodar before dawn, the navigator showed 210 km. By 8 am we arrived at the village of Kamennomostsky (Khadzhokh), leaving behind Belorechensk and Maykop. Ahead 46 km to Guzeripl beautiful road with natural attractions.
granite canyon
Highway A-159 in two lanes, winding, with mountain landscapes. It passes along the edge of the Granite Gorge, in which the Belaya River carries its waters from the mountains.
Passing by, I want to stop at every turn to look at the beauty of the river bends, rolling over the rapids with noise, rumbling through the rifts.
The unforgettable charm of the river in its "frame". A gorge made of granite monolith, which, depending on the weather and season, acquires different shades… pink, peach, beige, gray, black. And the river - from dirty brown to emerald and even white.
The canyon is very deep and narrows very much in places. In these places, the river twists into whirlpools and rolls the stream along the gorge with great power.
Along the banks, cyclamens and blueberries bloom like a bright carpet. Birds whistle trills, rejoicing at the approaching spring. A spring with freezing mountain water.
Guzeripl
Imperceptibly, without turning anywhere, we reached the end highway. The river blocked the way. In this place is the "Workshop of rafting". Water tourism professionals, river rafting masters, the best rafting in Adygea - such epithets are full of reviews on the Internet. In early May, international rafting competitions are held on the Belaya River. It is interesting to watch how the participants cross the rapids on rafts and kayaks. Here, at this time, the festival of bards "Primrose" is held. But such beauty opened up to us the river on the descent.
There were no emergencies. A childhood habit has not been eradicated in me - to climb some pebble just like that ... Well, my soul sings, and I want space and height. This time I'm out of luck! Look at the large shiny stone near me. It does not shine from water, it is covered with ice.
I don’t know where my vigilance and attentiveness have gone, but in a matter of seconds I take off my hood from my head and climb onto a stone. She slipped and fell back. My husband did not even have time to shout, as I ended up in the river. She scratched her hand, hit her ribs, the down jacket got wet, her hair instantly became icicles. Fortunately for me, I took a jacket and trousers with me. I warmed up and dried in the car for a while, changed clothes and was ready for adventure again.
Guzeripl was founded as a village of lumberjacks. He is in a dead end. The population is just over 100 people. Mountain air, river, picturesque nature attract tourists here. This is the last settlement before the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve.
Interesting tourist routes in Adygea for mountain lovers with backpacks and tents also start from here. Yavorova Polyana, Armenian Pass, Fisht Shelter, Circassian Pass, Mount Oshten, many natural objects For hiking over long distances.
We were interested in the Cordon of the Caucasian Reserve. We bought tickets at the box office, they also sell passes to the reserve for long trips.
We pass through the bridge to the reserve.
I love this slightly cultivated nature.
Information stands.
Guzeriplsky dolmen-giant with a height of more than two meters.
A small Museum of Nature, where you can see an impressive stuffed Caucasian bison, as well as wild boars, wolves, herbarium, photographs.
We also saw live pigs.
It is not worth placing high hopes on the Guzeripl nature reserve, there are no special entertainments. There is amazing nature, the purest mountain air with the smell of fresh resin of pine needles. Natural open-air museum.
partisan glade
Leaving Guzeripl, at the first turn to the left, along the only paved road, we turned towards the mountains.
The road is good, with the exception of a couple of places where there was a slight mudflow.
View from the road to the Stone Sea ridge.
Snow on the roadside lies in huge cleared snowdrifts.
Admiring the surroundings, after 18 km we drove up to the Partizanskaya glade. The name is directly related to the red partisans of the times civil war. They had their headquarters here.
At present, it is a transit point on the tourist route to Mount Fisht, Oshten, Stone Sea, Yavorova Polyana.
The recreation center "Partizanskaya Polyana" did not attract us with anything special. In the house where tourists stop, they met a bored watchman. Learned from him that summer time people gather on a picturesque lake for a picnic and fishing, and in winter they come to ride snowmobiles, sledges, and skis.
I have not singled out for myself some interesting equipped slides for such winter fun. Looking around, she heard a joyful loud murmur. A black fluffy cat ran towards the uninvited guests.
It was worth paying a little attention to him, and he, as a forest owner, accompanied us throughout the territory of the Partizanskaya glade and the frozen lake. When they got ready for the return trip, they treated the cat with cookies, he looked with bewilderment and reproach, they say, I didn’t come to you for food, but for communication. And when they left, he ran after the car meowing angrily. This is such short-term love at first sight.
Oxygenated air has a magical effect on me. My emotions speak volumes about it. :)
Here it is Mountain Lake Partizanskaya glade at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level, at the foot of the Stone Sea ridge. In summer, glades are in flowers, and mountains are reflected in the lake.
The Stone Sea Ridge is unusual in its appearance and chaotic, rugged limestone unearthly relief. It surrounds the alpine plateau of Lago-Naki from the east with a twenty-five-kilometer arc.
If you drive another six kilometers to the west, you can see the Yavorova glade, where the road ends, there is a barrier and the reserve begins with hiking trails. It is planned to build a large ski complex there.
Great mood in nature in sunny weather. We played snowballs and made a snowman. The cat, by the way, also took an active part in our games.
On this day, we still had to see the Lago-Naki plateau from the side of the Iron rock and we decided to go further.
They descended, overtaking timber trucks and traditional cows defiling along the roadsides.
Belaya River
Having left on the route "Guzeripl - Maykop", we went down to the Belaya River.
Here is an incorrigible one… Just a few hours ago, climbing a stone, I already dived into the river, and still it pulls to the height!
Very beautiful coastline. Here you want to stay longer. The uniqueness of these places is emphasized by pines, spruces, hornbeam, beech, juniper, hazelnuts, barberries, and most importantly, you are alone among all this splendor, the season of mass departure of tourists has not yet begun.
A picturesque place in Adygea for nature lovers. And in the spring favorite place rafters, as there are many interesting rapids and rifts on the river.
This seems to be the off-season. Winter is still on the calendar, and only the first flowers remind of the first breath of spring. Not crowded, everyone is waiting for greenery. But even in the gray colors of the sleeping forest, the river fascinates with its seething stream and carved banks.
My only regret is that there is no footpath. Looking at this beauty from a car window is a crime, and walking along the highway is unsafe.
The most beautiful sights of the Belaya River (Adygea):
- Khadzhokhskaya gorge (settlement of Kamennomostsky).
- Granite Canyon (to the south of the Dakhovskaya village, before reaching the village of Khamyshki).
- Confluence with the Kishi River (near Andreevskaya ravine between Khamyshki and Guzeripl)
- Valley of Ammonites (between the villages of Abadzekhskaya and Khadzhokh under a road bridge over the Belaya River, where the river washed out large stone balls of bizarre shape with petrified ammonites).
Plateau Lago-Naki
On the final chord of the weekend in nature, we left a visit to the Utyug rock with stunning views of the Lago-Naki plateau.
The road passes partly through Adygea and through the territory of the Krasnodar Territory.
The first stop was made at the observation deck overlooking the Dakhovskaya village, near a small market with souvenirs. We were interested in the bird's eye view.
But on the road, near the turn to the Azishskaya cave, there was a brisk trade.
On the Azish Pass I only have time to turn my head - beauty is everywhere. Primer road.
Near hotel complex"Azish-Tau" noticed gentle slopes, equipped for skiing on cheesecakes, sledding and skiing, with open rental points.
A small mountain village is located in the south of the Republic of Adygea in the foothills of the Caucasus Range, on the territory of the Caucasian Reserve. Guzeripl is known for its pristine nature and the famous dolmen.
The village of Guzeripl, located in a remote corner of Adygea, is a historical and natural value. Guzeripl itself was founded at the beginning of the 20th century as a cordon of the Caucasian Reserve. A little later, he became part of the Khamyshinsky rural district as a logging village.
The Adyghe pronunciation of the village is “gozaripl”, which means “observant” in translation. In essence, this is true, since the village is the most remote settlement at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains, and is located like a guard on the way to the beautiful and densely populated valley of the Belaya River. The village was built at an altitude of six hundred and seventy meters above sea level, among high mountain peaks covered with fir forests. Healing mountain air, crystal pure water the Belaya River, the delightful Caucasian nature made the former logging village a desirable place for recreation and tourist center. Guzeripl is surrounded by high mountain ranges from all sides, this creates a special microclimate in this valley.
Behind the bridge located in the village across the Belaya, the lands of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve begin, there is a cordon through which you can get to its territory. In the reserve, you can visit a museum dedicated to the nature of the Caucasus and the history of the restoration of the population of the Caucasian bison, go on an excursion to the Molchele River, see the largest dolmen preserved on the lands of Adygea and a monument on the mass grave of the soldiers-defenders of Guzeripl. The sights of Guzeripl rightfully include the old railway, which is the starting point of the most famous tourist route. Every year, international rafting competitions - Interrally Belaya start from the village.
The population of the village is very small, according to the official census it is about 100 people. This one comes alive locality with the arrival of tourists, who are very numerous here. Currently, Guzeripl is a rapidly developing tourist center. The village has all the prerequisites to become an excellent tourist center of the Caucasus in the near future. In Guzerple, the construction of tourist complexes is constantly underway. In the village there are various hotels, well-equipped for every taste. Fans of "wild recreation" can always set up camp in any place they like. Especially popular with tourists is the area in front of the village, where in the summer there are permanent camps. A good paved road from Maykop has been laid to the village.
The village of Guzeripl borders on the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve, which can be reached through a bridge in the center of the village. Its main attraction is the Museum of Nature of the Caucasian Reserve. Walking along the road from the bridge across the river to the museum, you can admire the bewitching artificial waterfall of the Molchepa River, which falls from the dam of a small hydroelectric power station. The area adjacent to the territory of the museum is protected. Not far from the building itself there is a dolmen, in Adygea it is impossible to find an analogue to it in terms of size and safety.
During Patriotic War in 1942, fierce battles took place on this territory, as evidenced by the mass grave of the soldiers who defended the Caucasus, the shooters of the 379th mountain rifle regiment. The museum itself was founded about 60 years ago and occupies several halls. They tell about the history of the creation of the reserve, the flora and fauna are widely represented. animal world. The museum exhibits voluminous exhibits - stuffed animals. They are collected in biological groups, presented in their natural habitat. High-quality photographs, panoramas, original expositions help visitors to get acquainted with amazing nature this edge. The museum welcomes its visitors cordially without breaks and weekends.
The path to the museum lies through the post of the biosphere reserve, located on the left bank of the Belaya. Entrance to the Museum of Nature is paid. From the bridge over the river to the museum, you need to walk about three hundred meters along the road.
On the right and left banks of the Belaya River, on the territory of the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve and in the glade of tourist rallies, there are the remains of the dolmen of the village of Guzeripl. This archeological monument of the 1st-2nd millennium BC is one of the largest composite, well-preserved dolmens in southern Russia. In Adygea, it is impossible to find an analogue to it in terms of size and safety. It is huge, massive and mysterious.
Striking with an engineering solution, laboriousness, sophisticated at first glance, rough architecture, the megalith is still a mystery today. Many scientists believe, and this is the main version, that dolmens are funerary megalithic structures of the Early and Middle Bronze Age. Another theory is popular, according to which elderly people went to die in them. There, in complete darkness and silence, they prayed and waited for death. Another group of scientists believe that dolmens, along with the pyramids, are part of the overall planetary structure. The points where they stand are chosen deliberately. Dolmens are unique conductors that connect the earth with the information space matrix that ensures the development of all forms of life on Earth.
The sights of Guzeripl rightfully include the old railway. In pre-war times, the settlement itself had two camps with convicts: general and strict regime there were repressed Don Cossacks, who for a time were engaged in harvesting and shipping timber. The narrow-line railway, 3 kilometers long, was located behind the village cemetery. Wood was transported on a cart with horses and on a motor-cart. After that, the wood was rafted down the Belaya mountain river. The war began, the zones were closed. IN residential buildings the cordon of the Caucasian reserve "Suvorovsky" is located.
After the end of the war, it was from the end of the old railway that the trail of the famous tourist route of All-Union significance began. It ran to the Partizanskaya Valley, to the Fisht shelter and had access to the Black Sea coast. Now it is the most famous and popular a tourist route. Partizanskaya Polyana can be reached both by car and on foot.
Rising up, you can admire the amazing nature, enjoy the clean mountain air. The combination of picturesque nature with turbulent rivers, the historical past, and the modernity of tourists makes the village attractive for visiting not only professional tourists, but also family vacation lovers. And the old Railway is the starting point of the most famous route.
In order to view the valley of the Belaya River, there are several panoramic points, which are a special attraction of the village of Guzeripl.
A small observation platform is located in the center of the village, on the Black Rock. The rock breaks off to the south with black coal shales and has a fairly wide flat area with tall slender pines. From here you can see the eastern part of the village. A little higher than this place is Bolshaya Observation deck. From the very peak of the rocky ridge opens great view to the southern and central part of the village. A safe path leads to this point from the Small Platform to the rocks, shaped like a rooster's comb.
The third observation platform is located on the southern slope of Mount Kazachya. There is a wide path and goes to the rock formations. From the rocky shelves you can see the Abago, Atamazhi and Guzeripl village views. From this place you can admire not only the beauty of the village, but also the magnificence of the mountains, breathe the cleanest air, recharge with cosmic energy. On the territory of the reserve, on the slope of Mount Filimonov, there is another view point from which you can observe the beauty of nature untouched by man. Compared to other viewpoints, it is rarely visited by tourists.
