Partisan glade Guzeripl Adygeya Lago-Naki. Yavorova glade, granite canyon, partisan glade, adygea

April is certainly too early a month to get into mountain part Adygea. And when we drove up to the Lago-Naki checkpoint, we were convinced of this with our own eyes: there were snowdrifts behind the barrier of the checkpoint. But somehow I still wanted to get closer to the mountains. And for us, for good luck, the instructor, whom we met in the Big Azish Cave, suggested a place - Yavorova Glade.

How to get to Yavorova Polyana

From the village of Kamennomostsky we go towards the village of Dakhovskaya, then to Khamyshka, and the next point is the village of Guzeripl, where you need to turn onto Polevaya Street and through Partizanskaya Polyana we get to Yavorova Polyana.

granite canyon

On the way to Guzeripl we pass by the Granite Canyon. There are several small parking lots where you can park and look at this creation of nature. It is located immediately after the exit from the village of Dakhovskaya on the right side of the road. The Belaya River in this place is imprisoned in a reddish granite rock. This section of the river is rich in rapids and is popular place training for watermen. The canyon is really impressive. So you can imagine how you are rushing through stormy waters on a raft. Feel cool and powerful mountain river we only managed to watch her from above. We did not look for options for descent to the river, since we simply did not lay time for this. But they are, and I can imagine that the views and sensations in the depths of the canyon are amazing. By the way, the depth of this is about 200 m.

Guzeripl

We drive into the village of Guzeripl. Guzeripl for a long time functioned as a village of lumberjacks. The timber was rafted down the Belaya River. After 1940, the village began to be used for tourism, because this is the last settlement before the Caucasian Reserve! And since 1949, the famous “Tourist route No. 30” has been laid through Guzeripl, which passed through Partizanskaya Polyana, Yavorova Polyana, the Armenian Shelter, the Guzeriplsky and Armenian Passes to the Fisht Shelter, from there through the Cherkessky and Belorechensky Passes to Babuk-Aul.

Now Guzeripl is developing as a tourist destination, everything is the same last point before the Caucasian biosphere reserve. Many guest houses and private hotels. Neat and beautiful village surrounded by mountains. It is much smaller than Kamennomostsky and is not so conveniently located, in the sense that it is convenient to travel from Kamennomostsky to various sights, it seems to be in the center. But on the other hand, Guzeripl is quieter and what landscapes are around. If it were not for the poles with wires, then, looking at this photo, it might seem that this is a street in small town somewhere in the Alps.

And in Guzeripl there is Cordon Caucasian Reserve, all the same as in 1924, at the time of its foundation. On its territory there is a museum, as well as one of the well-preserved ancient dolmens.

By the way, you need to buy passes at the cordon ticket office if you are planning walks or trips to the reserve. You can also buy passes at the Lago-Naki checkpoint. But if you want to walk to Mount Oshten from Yavorova Polyana, and this can be done in one daylight, then it is more convenient to buy a pass in Guzeripl.
We didn’t go to the museum and the dolmen, the goal for today was different, we only found out at the box office how to get to Yavorova. Turns out we missed the turn. After entering the village there will be a turn to the right, onto Polevaya Street. Well, then there is only one road, you can’t go wrong.
By the way, this is the Stone Sea ridge

partisan glade

We arrived at the Partizanskaya Polyana. The name speaks for itself: during civil war a detachment of red partisans was stationed here. Then, until the 90s, there was a Partizansky shelter, where groups stopped to rest. Now it's small tourist base with the same small ski slope. There is also a lake nearby, with a boat and a gazebo.

And the road meandered further like a serpentine tape. By the way, I advise you not to accelerate, because in some places the roadway is washed away and it happens that almost the entire left or right lane is destroyed. And it is very difficult to keep attention on the road when there is such beauty around.

You go, and with every turn in your chest something expands and expands, you want to breathe deeper, and the lips themselves blur into happy smile. And this is not even a foretaste of a miracle, this is already a miracle! Mountains - they are here, they are both outside and already inside! And more and more snow on the sidelines, not to mention the peaks.
Well, we reached the barrier, and behind it a small parking lot, several container houses, in which, most likely, you can stay overnight. There is also a small cafe.

In winter, they obviously offer snowmobile rental services, as there are quite a lot of them, and the snow is all in traces. Well, in summer it is the starting point either for one-day walks to Oshten, or already to Fisht or along the route "Through the mountains to the Sea." By the way, you can leave your car at this parking lot behind the barrier for 150 rubles a day, I specifically asked this in a cafe, because I myself wanted to come here for a few days in the summer. But do not forget that passes to Oshten and Fisht must be taken in Guzeripl.

Well, this, in fact, is Yavorova Polyana itself!

The name is probably due to the fact that the white maple tree is called sycamore. It turns out a maple meadow. But Yavorov sounds, of course, more beautiful. And in early April everything is covered in snow, just the realm of winter. In Kamennomostsky, spring is already in full swing and the apple trees are in bloom, but here it is winter. Here is the contrast! That's what I love mountains for - for contrasts.
We put on trekking boots with warm socks, fleeces, hats, in general, almost winter clothes and go for a walk!

At first we thought that we would fall through knee-deep, but no, the crust still holds! We go out to highest point, which is quite gentle here, and gradually opens gorgeous view to the surrounding peaks.

These are, most likely, the ranges of Buiny, Podkovny and Kalancha.

And also in the distance the Big Thach is barely visible with a toothy jaw. How you want to go there in the summer, and also through the Devil's Gate pass.

We decided under the fir trees on improvised and far from IKEA furniture to arrange a hangout for seagulls with sandwiches.

Everything is fine and beautiful, but still dressed not quite in winter, and we understand that it is time to head back.

Partisan glade Guzeripl 17 km from the village 1600 meters altitude

Why is it called "Guerrilla"

The glade is called "Partisan" - in honor of the partisans, who during the years of the Great Patriotic War, gave terrible heat to the Nazis in this very place. They held the defense, hid animals, cattle and did not let reptiles through. The lake was the source fresh water. By the way, the water in it is light, literally. You can understand what this means only if you swim in the lake. Especially invigorating in winter!

Excursions to the Partizanskaya Glade Guzeripl Nature Reserve

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 a pure Mountain air and the beauty of this area.
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 scenery. 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 has great depth and is very narrow 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". Professionals water tourism, masters of rafting on the river, the best rafting in Adygea - reviews on the Internet are full of such epithets. 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 effigy of the 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 museum open air.

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 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 on picturesque lake people gather 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 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):

1. Khadzhokhskaya gorge (settlement of Kamennomostsky).
2. Granite Canyon (to the south of the Dakhovskaya village, before reaching the village of Khamyshki).
3. Confluence with the Kishi River (near Andreevskaya ravine between Khamyshki and Guzeripl)
4. The valley of ammonites (between the villages of Abadzekhskaya and Khadzhokh under the automobile bridge over the Belaya River, where the river washed out large stone balls bizarre shape with fossilized 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.
Made the first stop at observation deck overlooking the village Dakhovskaya, 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.

In the mountains of Adygea in the village of Guzeripl, many tourist routes. But the most popular of them, perhaps, is the route leading to Partizanskaya Polyana and further to the Lagonaki plateau and the mountain. This place is located at the foot of the Stone Sea ridge. The height of the Partizanskaya glade is 1600 m above sea level.

You can easily get to Partizanskaya Polyana by car. You can also make a hike. But walking tour will be more difficult. And not everyone can do it. The partisan glade is located 900 m above Guzeripl, so you have to go uphill. The length of the route is 18 km.

In front of the Partizanskaya glade, 1.5 km away, you can make a halt. In 1997, a mudflow came down here, and the road was destroyed. It has now been restored.

The origin of the name Partizanskaya Polyana is very interesting. During the civil war, a detachment of red partisans was stationed there. There during the Great Patriotic War the partisans hid their livestock. It is hard to believe that these beautiful, peaceful places witnessed terrible but heroic events. And these places have remained unchanged since the brave partisans walked along the route.

Now at this place there is a ski tourist base with the same name. Not far from the base there is a small but comfortable ski Track. Its length is 400 m. There is even a mountain lake in the Partizanskaya glade, in which fish is found.

On Partizanskaya Polyana, you can rent tourist shelter houses for those who want to stay in this place. They are ready to receive tourists at any time, thanks to the caretaker living here. The houses are well equipped for living, there is a sauna with a steam room.

Partizanskaya Polyana offers excellent views of the surroundings. Being near the lake, you can see the Guzeripl mountains and admire the majestic ridge of the Stone Sea.

But the most popular are two points for a panoramic view. The first one is 400 m below the Partizanskaya Polyana. Being there you can see the Abago pasture, Bezvodny and Cherkessky ridges, Mountain peaks Achishkho, Chugush, Abago, Tybga.

From another point of panoramic view, tourists can admire the Nagoi-Kosh rock, see the Oshten and Guzeripl mountains, admire the rocks of the Stone Sea and the Guzeripl pass. Once seen, vacationers will never forget scenic views Mountain Adygea.

How to get there:

Not far from the entrance to the village of Guzeripl, a good asphalt road goes to the right. On it you can get to the Partizanskaya Polyana.
