The story of I. Bormotov from the book "Melodies of the Blue Mountains" - "The Legend of the Belaya River".

The Belaya River is the main river of the Republic of Adygea. It carries its waters through the dense forest jungle of the Caucasian Reserve, breaks off into the abyss with a powerful cascade of waterfalls of the Victoria Canyon, cuts through the rocky vice of the ridges, seethes, bubbles and foams in stone rapids, relentlessly turns powerful turbine shafts, giving people light and warmth. The Belaya River has 5 canyons: Victoria, Tolapanovsky, Big granite, Shum (Khadzhokhskaya gorge) and Tula gorge.

Taking its beginning from the Fisht-Oshtenovsky pass, it is filled with melt moisture from the Fisht glaciers and Oshten snowfields. From the source to the confluence, it falls from a height of 2283 meters, stretching among the mountain ranges for 270 kilometers. Its turbulent waters fill more than 60 mountain rivers, rivulets and streams. The largest, most beautiful and picturesque mountain rivers are Kisha and Dakh, Pshekha and Kurdzhips.

The river-beauty, the river-worker, the river-nurse carries its fast waters to the elder sister of the Kuban. Her beauty fascinates us, we love her and aspire to her, in order to at least sometimes see how silver strands of crystal water foamed on thresholds and rifts are woven into the blue jets of a fast stream.

We like how the river on its wide reaches with a gentle rustle caresses multi-colored stones polished to a shine, how it bathes in the rays of the sun, illuminating everything around with magical light, how it flickers with sparkles of reflections of sunbeams. There are many legends about the beautiful mountain river associated with its name. Here are some of them.

From ancient times, the Belaya River is called by the Adygs by the name of Skhaguashe - as the sovereign mistress of the house, principality and mountainous country. Here is the legend associated with this name. There lived in one of the mountain villages a prince who sacredly honored the laws of the mountains and the ancient customs of the people. He was proud, courageous and fair to people. He loved and respected his people for this.

But one day, while visiting a neighboring village, he saw a girl of unprecedented beauty and fell in love with her. The prince could not live without his beloved. He sent ambassadors to the village with gifts and bride price, and betrothed a girl. So she became his wife. But the outwardly beautiful woman turned out to be a cruel, selfish, proud and capricious wife of the prince. Everything would be fine, but her whims knew no bounds. She demanded for herself more and more expensive clothes, jewelry, honors, the worship of her husband and those around her. The prince did everything just to please her.

The prince's treasury was depleted, the tribute collected from the people was no longer enough for the princess. It was already not enough for her to command the men of the family. She wanted to subdue the mountains, forests and rivers. Even for the sun to shine when she wants. The prince could not fulfill the impossible. In anger, having gathered the servants, the princess left for her native village. The prince could not cope with her obstinate character and sent messengers to the wise old man, who lived high in the mountains, to ask for advice.

The old man listened to the messengers and sent them home without saying a word to them. Having waited for the messengers from the sage, who brought a disappointing answer, the prince was completely homesick. The prince could not live a day without his beloved. He sent his faithful servant after her with a request to return home and a promise that he would fulfill her will and any of her desires. The princess found out about the prince's request and became completely distraught. Gathered her numerous servants, and set off on the road with the words:“Now I, Skhaguashe, have full sovereignty over the prince and his people. Head of the principality. I will do whatever I want...

At this time, a terrible roar shook the mountains, a sheaf of lightning threw the sky. The obstinate beauty fell to the ground from her horse and turned into a stormy, furious river. Faithful servants of the princess, became mountain tributaries of the river, with the same grumpy and indomitable character as the mistress. Another legend says that...

It was a very long time ago, when the inhabitants of the mountains who were at war with each other made destructive raids on neighboring tribes. And then one day a detachment of horsemen, led by a cruel prince, broke into the mountain village. A gray-haired old man stood up to defend his home, but he could not cope with strong and dexterous warriors.

A young woman rushed to help her father beautiful girl, but she could not resist the onslaught of the riders. Her father died from a saber blow, and she was tied up and taken into captivity, in old castle on high mountain, and the grumpy old woman Fisiabgo was left to look after her. Bella, that was the name of the girl, became a prisoner cruel prince. Struck by her beauty, he offered the girl to become his wife. But Bella could not come to terms with her father's killer. For a long time she thought about how to take revenge on the villain. She managed to steal the dagger from the guard, and then she asked for expensive outfits to meet with the prince.

Late in the evening, the servants let the girl into the prince's apartment. He, unaware of the bad, and thinking that the girl had reconciled, hugged her. And then he was struck with a dagger in the heart. Bella went out into the yard, mounted her horse and rushed away from the castle. Finding the prince dead, the servants rushed after her in pursuit. For a long time the girl left the chase, in front of her was a river, squeezed by high rocky banks. The pursuers are already close, and then Bella decided to jump over the terrible abyss. Spurring her horse, she rushed into the boiling abyss mountain river.

Much time has passed since then, but people remembered her and began to call the river after the proud beauty - Bella. settled in mountain valleys Cossacks, the name of the girl sounded in Russian - White. The castle of the cruel prince fell into decay, his servants left, and only the evil old woman wandered through the ruins for a long time. “Fiziabgo,” people said about this mountain, as an evil and quarrelsome woman.Another legend has come down to our days about the Belaya River, as a princess river, the mistress of deer.

In the old days, when the highlanders lived according to the law of the mountains and customs, when honor and good rumor about the owner of the family were valued above all, the prince's daughter grew up, and her name was Shkhaguashe. It's time to marry off your daughter. The prince ordered to gather brave fellows from all the surroundings for jigitovka - an equestrian sport festival of the highlanders. He offered his daughter to choose a groom from the brave young men, but set the condition that he be rich and of a noble family.

Many young horsemen took part in the competitions, but she liked only one brave and dexterous rider. He skillfully wielded weapons, shot at full gallop without a miss, was stately and handsome. Shaguashe and the young man met their eyes, and fell in love with each other. When the time came for Shkhaguasha to name the chosen one, she named the name of the highlander. But he did not belong to a noble family and was not rich. The father got angry for disobeying his daughter and ordered to sew up the beloved in a leather bag and throw them into the turbulent stream of a mountain river.

The river splashed the young on the coastal sand in the dense forest. They began to live on the gifts of the forest among the wild deer. Time passed, the prince grew old, fell ill. No conspiracies and medicines helped him. Old people advised to drink reindeer milk, and then the disease will recede, strength will return. The servants of the prince scattered to all corners of the world to look for healing milk. And, one of them soon returned with a jug tied with a shkhaguashe scarf. The prince drank milk and was healed. He recognized his daughter's handkerchief on the jug, forgave her, invited her back to the village.Since then, the mountain river has been named Shkhaguashe, which in translation from the Adyghe sounds like "princess, mistress of deer."

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, delightful caucasian nature made the former logging village a desirable holiday destination and tourist center. Guzeripl is surrounded by high mountain ranges on all sides, which creates a special microclimate in this valley.

Behind the bridge located in the village across the Belaya, the lands of the Caucasian biosphere reserve, 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 settlement comes to life 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 over the river to the museum, you can admire the bewitching artificial waterfall 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 the Patriotic War in 1942, fierce battles took place on this territory, as evidenced by mass grave 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 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.

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, a magnificent view of the southern and central part of the village opens up. 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.

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.

There is also a mass grave of soldiers who died during the Second World War. In the reserve there is the most ancient exhibit - a dolmen.

The Dolmen of Guzeripl does not remain without the attention of visitors - ancient building made of stone, covered with secrets and legends. It is believed that it has a special energy and has supernatural power. When visiting dolmens, those who wish do not miss the opportunity to make a wish. Even today, the exact period of construction has not been established, but scientists agree that this is the I-II centuries. BC. Among the options for the destination, the most plausible is the one that calls them tombs for sages and elders.

Of course, Belaya is the central attraction of the region, it stretches along the entire Guzeripl. It starts at the top. It has picturesque shores: rounded and sharp multi-colored stones, rocks covered with moss, shrubs and trees.

Many people call the gorge the most interesting. To him in the village begins hiking trail. IN good weather It's a pleasure to walk through the woods. Mushroom pickers are often found here in autumn. The canyon itself looks spectacular and is an excellent backdrop for memorable photos. The rocks are crowned with stormy lush vegetation. The river bottom here is uneven, with many rapids. Because of this, the water flows become quite turbulent and noisy.

Adrenaline lovers and real daredevils come to Guzeripl in the spring to take part in the international rafting competition "Interrally-White". Armed with canoes and rafts, athletes from different countries conquer the river. They start their journey from the bridge and finish at the confluence of Belaya with Kishi.

Another interesting, but not at all extreme event is held in parallel - this is the festival of author's songs "Pervotsvet". As a rule, during this period the village is crowded with visitors, a friendly festive atmosphere reigns here. There is also a minus - a popular event entails an increase in prices, and it is better to book hotel rooms for this period in advance.

Adherents of active leisure and extreme species sports will not be bored in the village. horse riding, rafting, hiking trails through the protected area and viewing platforms allow you to make your vacation incredible. Only one is worth something, but the surrounding Lagonaki plateau deserves a separate discussion. And there is also thermal springs, however, there are not as many of them as in other cities of Adygea - reviews confirm this.

lovely little Adygea perfect for those who like a calm measured camping, for those who love to eat deliciously and have a weakness for Caucasian cuisine and for those who love leisure, that is, endless descents and ascents both along the mountains and along the rivers.

Even its name, translated from the Adyghe language, is similar to the Russian phrase "observant paragraph". Wow, already goosebumps ... before the Great Patriotic War, there were camps for prisoners of especially strict regime and several large logging sites where prisoners worked. In memory of this long past, here remained glade Prisoner. Another large clearing is called partisan, its history is already connected with the period of the Great Patriotic War.

Dolmen of Guzeripl and the Museum of Nature of the Caucasian Reserve

On the right side Belaya river, if you cross the bridge from the village, there is a Jaeger cordon. You will not be allowed into the territory of the Caucasian Reserve itself without permission and escort, however, almost immediately at the cordon you can find two local attractions: the oldest and the highest dolmen of Adygea and the local Museum of Nature.

The museum is open to visitors all year round, seven days a week from 10:00 to 17:00 (lunch from 13:00 to 14:00), on Mondays and Tuesdays from 14:00 to 17:00.

The museum was opened already in 1956 and has not changed much since then. Here you can learn about the flora and fauna of those parts, as well as about milestones in the formation of the museum itself. Therefore, it is not worth allocating a lot of time for its inspection. But very close by is a really interesting artifact - Dolmen Guzeriplya. Between two huge pine trees, or rather between their roots, there is a stone hut without windows, without doors, with a small hole in the front wall. Scientists still have not come to a definite conclusion whether the dolmens were religious or burial structures. To this day, dolmens are surrounded by many legends. The most common is the legend that they were built only by giants, because it is difficult to imagine that an ordinary person or even a group of people could lift such thick and heavy slabs. is no exception and dolmen in Guzeripl, because it is the largest and oldest in Adygea. The time of its creation dates back to the 2nd millennium BC, which means that it is older than some Egyptian pyramids! It is said that you can whisper a wish into its hole, and it will certainly come true thanks to the ancient spirits that live inside.

Old railway, Zholobnaya river and waterfall

Right behind the graveyard the village of Guzeripl, on the right bank Zholobnaya river, you can find an old railroad track going into the distance for about three kilometers. Today, only this short narrow-gauge railway line reminds of the sad past of the village at the very beginning of its history.

Part of it passes right under the overhanging rock. This road will lead you to waterfall on the Zholobnaya river.

An amazingly calming and mesmerizing sight. From here, from a quiet green thicket, you can see Ridge Stone Sea, breast protruding above the fir forest. This stone gray-haired giant is highest point ridge - rock Nagoi-Kosh.
