The Golitsyn trail is currently beautiful tourist facility with many attractions both on it itself and nearby. The trail is located on the territory of the state nature reserve regional significance of the Republic of Crimea "New World". The nature reserve itself is located near the village of Novy Svet.

The path was cut by Turkish workers on the orders of Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn in honor of the arrival of Tsar Nicholas II in 1912. The length of the trail is about 5 kilometers and is the result of serious and unsafe architectural and construction work. The Golitsyn trail is inextricably linked with the personality of Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn himself, as well as the fame of the village of Novyi Svet.

Currently, Novy Svet is a village located 7 kilometers from Sudak. The village of Novy Svet is widely known thanks to the Novy Svet champagne factory of the same name, founded by Prince Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn in 1878.

The history of the village of Novy Svet

The history of the settlement goes deep into antiquity. One of the first settlers of the New World and nearby territories were the Taurians. In Genoese times, the New World is referred to as the village of Paradis (Paradixi de lo Cheder). After the annexation of Crimea to Russian Empire Empress Catherine II presented Paradise to the French nobleman Barthelemy Galler. Barthelemy sold it to Princess Anna Sergeevna Golitsyna in 1820 (interestingly, she was not related to the future owner of the New World Golitsyn L.S.). Soon the major general of the Russian imperial army, the mayor of Kerch, Prince Zakhar Semyonovich Kherkheulidzev became the owner of Paradise. Kherkheulidzev Z.S. the first to appreciate the natural beauties of Paradise and laid a small garden. He wanted to go into winemaking, for which he planted 3.5 acres of grapes. But he did not have the opportunity to pay much attention to his estate due to employment (Kerch mayor) and the lack of necessary finances. It was he who renamed Paradise into Novy Svet (however, there is another version that L.S. Golitsyn renamed Paradise into Novy Svet after Nicholas II visited the estate).

But the story of how Prince Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn became the owner of the New World is interesting and romantic. The twenty-five-year-old prince falls in love with Princess Nadezhda Zakharovna Kherkheulidzeva, who was the eldest daughter of Zakhar Semyonovich Kherkheulidzev. And everything would be fine, but Nadezhda Kherkheluidzeva was already married to Prince D.P. Zasetsky. A secular scandal erupted, the young couple left for Europe for 5 years, and Golitsyn parted with his academic career. At the same time, they several times come to the New World, inherited by Nadezhda Kherkheulidzeva. In 1878, Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn bought out the New World with plans to create a winery (he began to study winemaking in France a little earlier). It was Lev Sergeevich who made the main contribution to the development of the New World, became the founder of winemaking in the Crimea and was the first in the Russian Empire to establish the industrial production of high-quality champagne, sparkling and other grape wines. But the continuation of this branch of history is more appropriate to be associated with a visit to the House-Museum of the History of Viticulture and Winemaking and the Novy Svet Champagne Factory.

This time we visited the Novy Svet for a walk along the Golitsyn Trail, visiting the Golitsyn grotto (Chaliapin grotto), Cape Kapchik, and also the Novy Svet botanical reserve in general. We lived at the same time in Sudak. Firstly, it was nearby, and secondly, housing in Sudak is a little cheaper and more diverse. The New World is just physically small locality, and there cannot be such competition as in Sudak. Therefore, if your goal is not to live with beach holiday or more or less long acquaintance with the natural and cultural-historical sights of the New World, namely day trip, as with us, it is more profitable to stay in Sudak. Well, if you stop in the New World, then a unique Green Bay with sunrises and sunsets will be at your disposal every day, as well as other attractions.

How to get to the Golitsyn Trail

As we said above, the Golitsyn Trail is located near the village of Novyi Svet, which means that you first need to get to it.

• By private vehicle. There is only one road from Sudak to the New World, so you first need to get to Sudak. In Sudak, along Lenin Street, we head towards the Sudak fortress. Lenin Street turns into Touristskoye Highway, and in Uyutnoye into Primorskaya Street, which leads towards the village of Novy Svet. Although the distance of 7 kilometers is not great, you should not lose vigilance on a narrow serpentine.
• By public transport. Every 30 minutes (in summer time) bus number 5 departs from the bus station in Sudak to Novy Svet.

There are officially several ways to get to the Golitsyn Trail, which is located on the territory of the Novy Svet State Natural Reserve of Regional Importance of the Republic of Crimea of ​​the Republic of Crimea.

Since we were on the Novy Svet embankment, we were going to use the first entrance until we were offered a tempting option with a short boat trip.

We were told that the entrance to the trail costs 100 rubles (at the end of 2016), and why go through it in one direction, and then in the opposite direction, if possible, as an option, take a boat to the Tsarskoye Beach, which is located in the beautiful Golubaya Bay ( there is another name - Delilimanskaya), and from there go to Cape Kapchik and the Golitsyn Trail (by the way, it is not necessary to return along the same path, you can also go through the juniper grove through another exit). And the cost is either the same or slightly more expensive depending on the number of passengers. We decided to take advantage of this offer, as we were going to first leave the Tsarskoye Beach towards Mount Karaul-Oba, and only then return to the Golitsyn Trail. Plus, it's always nice to ride on the sea.

Green Bay (Sudak-Liman)

By the way, the bay where the village of Novy Svet and its embankment is located is called Zelenaya. There are also other names: Sudak-Liman and Fox.

The place is very beautiful, due to the fact that the bay is closed on all sides by mountains, it has its own unique microclimate, spring begins even a little earlier than in neighboring Sudak. IN Genoese times The bay was used as a parking lot for merchant ships.

Blue Bay (Delilimanskaya) and King's Beach

Well, we headed towards the Blue Bay.

The Blue Bay, together with the Royal Beach, appeared in all its splendor. transparent and pure water and a small number of vacationers (perhaps due to the fact that these days were relatively cool).

This beach was chosen by Nicholas II in 1912 during his visits to the New World. In 1912, due to the deteriorating financial situation (in 1906, the Feodosia Bank sealed Golitsyn's cellars for debts), Lev Sergeevich donated part of his estate with cellars to Nicholas II, and he himself wanted to organize the Higher School of Winemaking. Nicholas II paid Golitsyn's debts, and in 1912 royal family twice came to the New World to accept the gift and rest.

Botanical Reserve "New World"

Well, we started climbing the path of the Novy Svet botanical reserve, which was created in 1974 (based on the natural monument local importance 1921) to preserve the unique relic groves juniper tree, endemic Stankevich pine (Calabrian pine) and many other plants, some of which are listed in the Red Books.

Mountain range Karaul-Oba

Our next destinations were such sights as the Taurus Staircase, the Valley of Hell and the Valley of Paradise, Cosmos Peak. All of them are located near Mount Karaul-Oba. All this territory is a natural monument of regional importance called "Mountain massif Karaul-Oba". At the intersection of the trails, we leave to the left and keep to the path that goes around the mountain range closer to the sea, as there are other paths that go straight to Mount Karaul-Oba.
There are excellent views of Cape Kapchik, Mount Koba-Kaya, Mount Sokol, blue bay.

Valley of Hell

We reach a place where the path goes steeply down the rocks and look around. At this time, we are overtaken by a group of elderly tourists with backpacks. Here are the tourists, here is the old school!

Actually, the opened view is the “Valley of Hell”, where we had to go down. The descent is actually not so difficult, but everything must be done slowly and carefully.

Having descended into a small valley, it is difficult to understand why it was called that. In fact, she is wonderful! Perhaps because this small valley is sandwiched between rocks, often spiky, protruding here and there. By the way, these rocks and ledges are an ancient coral reef hiding many fossils. And for me, this stone chaos mixed with trees and shrubs, framed on both sides by the sea, is the most heavenly place in terms of nature.

You can judge the descent by the way we climbed. Yes, it’s a bit steep in places, but in any sneakers with non-slip soles and with a little help from the hands, everything is easy to pass. Pensioners did!

By the way, the trail is marked with yellow markers. And we are going towards the village of Veseloye. Accordingly, from the side of Vesely, through the Valley of Hell, you can also get to the Golitsyn Trail. Through passage through Karaul-Oba is allowed, but the installation of tents and making fires is prohibited.
The next sights were Cosmos Peak and Taurus Stairs. The path to them is not obvious, and only later, looking at my track from the navigator, I realized that I turned towards them earlier than the path was marked on the map (if you go towards Cape Kapchik from the Valley of Hell). What only says that there are several ways, but all lead up.

Staircase Taurus

Climbing up a little, I ended up in a gorge twenty meters deep. Trees were visible somewhere above, and tapering walls gave direction.

Having wandered around the gorge a little, I found several sections of the Taurus Stairs, and as it turned out later, these were not all sections of the stairs. After the earthquake of 1927, part of the sites collapsed, they turned out to be littered, and access to them became difficult.

So who are the Tauris? These are the people who inhabited the mountainous part of the Crimea since the 1st millennium BC, and the last mention of them dates back to the 4th century AD. mountain part Crimea was then called Taurida, or Taurica. The Taurians are mentioned in Greek and Roman sources mainly as a barbarian, ferocious people who live by means of piracy. But the Kizil-Koba culture is also referred to the Taurus, the first finds of which were discovered around. The people who lived at such a distance from the sea could hardly live as piracy, and the finds of the cultural layer (which, by the way, is not very large) speak of a more peaceful existence. As always, it is difficult to draw any conclusions, despite the fact that there is a mention in ancient sources. Perhaps they were different tribes. History is a changing business.

Cosmos Peak and Paradise Valley

The height of the Cosmos Peak is 228 meters above sea level. The panoramas from it are simply incredible in all directions. If you look at the sea, then on the left: the Novy Svet reserve, Sudak, Sudak Bay, the Meganom mountain range, and on the right - Kutlak Bay, the village of Veseloe and Cape Ai-Foka.

And on the other side of the sea - Mount Karaul-Oba, and right under the peak of Cosmos - the saddle of Mount Karaul-Oba - the Valley of Paradise.

The names "Valley of Hell" and "Valley of Paradise" are very conditional, and again, in my opinion, the Valley of Hell is generally a Paradise. These names are not official maps, but they are on folk (such as wikimapia and OSM), and tourists who follow the routes know them South Shore Crimea.

Mount Karaul-Oba (Watch Mountain, Karaulnaya Peak) is an ancient coral reef 341 m high. On the western spur of the mountain near the Kutlak Bay is the Bosporan fortress Kutlak (I century BC), we did not visit it, as we understood that there is not enough time. By the way, at the peak of Cosmos it was very strong wind, and this is another reason why it is worth climbing it carefully. Literally blown away in gusts.

During the descent from the peak, I discovered interesting view to Hell Valley.

We went down to the Golubaya Bay and head to Cape Kapchik. The royal beach is already empty.

I must say that there is no specific path straight from the Tsarskoye beach to the Golitsyn path along the coast. We did not know this, and went almost directly along the slope to Cape Kapchik, in search of the missing path. This can also be done, but is it true? In order not to make numerous trails along the reserved juniper grove, you need to climb higher along the ravine. Turn right there and go down the Golitsyn Trail to Cape Kapchik.

Cape Kapchik and the Golitsyn Trail

Previously, in Cape Kapchik was open passage along the Through Grotto, to which the path leads even now. The through grotto was formed as a result of tectonic impact, and not by water erosion. Its length is 77 meters and a colony of bats lives in it. Prince Golitsyn ennobled the entrance to it from the Golubaya Bay, made a path, and on the other side - stained-glass windows and two stairs to the water. But now, for safety reasons, the grotto is closed, as there were cases of rockfall. By the way, it is clear that the path was laid further than the Through Grotto to the Tsarskaya Bay, but the earthquake of 1927 did not spare this section as well as many other places (including the Through Grotto).

The Golitsyn trail was cut by Turkish workers on the orders of Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn in honor of the arrival of Tsar Nicholas II in 1912. The length of the trail is about 5 kilometers and is the result of serious and unsafe architectural and construction work.
We go to Cape Kapchik. Sunset, it will soon get dark, and we have just begun our journey along the Golitsyn Trail. The walk to Cosmos Peak and back from the Royal Beach took 3 hours and 8 kilometers. So, we must hurry.


Descent to the Through Grotto.


blue bay. Its second name is "Robber". According to legend, smugglers hid goods in the bay and met accomplices here.

We are at Cape Kapchik. The cape, like most of the rocks and mountains around, is of reef origin. There is no escape from the Tethys Ocean in Crimea. Its name was formed from the similarity with a narrow long bag worn on the belt by dervishes.

The Golitsyn trail passes by Rogue Beach, located in the Blue Bay. The beach, of course, is conditional, since the stones are quite large, but still, in hot weather, this is not an obstacle for vacationers.

The trail is quite steep in places.

Golitsyn's grotto, or Chaliapin's grotto

Grotto of Golitsyn natural origin, embossed sea ​​waves in Mount Koba-Kaya (Cave Mountain). Height up to 25 meters and width up to 17 meters. In the Middle Ages there was a Christian cave monastery, but the frescoes proving its existence survived only until the 19th century. L.S. Golitsyn organized a wine cellar and a small stage for performances in this grotto.

At the far wall there are racks for storing a huge collection of Golitsyn wines, and a little closer there is a well for collecting fresh water. Through the arch in the middle of the racks, a passage was planned to enter the wine cellars of the sparkling wine factory. The vinoteca was fenced off by a wall with a door, now only the remains of the wall are visible.

Guests were received in the Golitsyn grotto and concerts were given on a small stage-terrace. Concerts were held here in modern time. There is a legend that this stage was built for the arrival of Fyodor Chaliapin, so that he would give a concert here and drown out the sound of the surf with his voice. But there is no reliable evidence that Chaliapin ever visited the New World. But there is a legend, and it is interesting. Therefore, the Golitsyn grotto is sometimes called the Chaliapin grotto.

We left the Golitsyn Trail already in the dark, this option was assumed, and headlamps were taken. But how many bonuses: the sunset at Cape Kapchik, the empty grotto of Golitsyn and the New World in the night lights.

Naturally, there was no one at the exit from the trail. The described walk took 5 hours and 12.5 kilometers. If you pass only the excursion Golitsyn Trail, it will be much shorter and faster (4 km, if only along the Golitsyn trail to Cape Kapchik and back, and 3 km, if you go to the second exit).
Come to the New World at least for the weekend, these views are worth seeing. But, to be honest, we wanted to stay a little longer and meet the sunrise and sunset in Novy Svet Bay or Cape Kapchik.

Desire to keep intact unique corners Crimean nature in the conditions of a huge influx of tourists, it forced the creation of numerous protected areas. This is the state botanical reserve"New World". visit and admire natural beauties You can, but subject to fairly strict rules. It is understandable: in the reserve man is not the king of nature.

Where is the reserve located?

It is located in the vicinity, widely known as a resort and a legendary wine-growing place. This settlement itself is located on its territory. The main protected object here is flora, especially relic conifers, but all living things are protected along the perimeter of the protected zone.

The reserve on the map of Crimea

Long tradition of conservation

The Novy Svet nature reserve in Crimea was created in 1974. However, the protected area became much earlier - in 1921. Then the surroundings of the resort village were declared a natural monument of local significance.

A stricter form of protection has been introduced due to the rise in popularity. A large influx of guests threatened to destroy the natural balance even in those places where rare species of plants and animals were still preserved. In addition to, in fact, the protection of unique species of the Crimean flora, the reserve began to perform both scientific and promotional functions - excursions through its territory along specially laid routes never stopped. Now it represents an important "brick" in the global system of protection and restoration natural resources.

The area of ​​the complex is small - 470 hectares, but the concentration of rare and endangered species of vegetation here makes it extremely valuable. 16 varieties of plants found here are listed in the Red Books different levels, and some are almost impossible to find elsewhere.

Visiting Precautions

Visiting the Novy Svet botanical reserve is not difficult, but not without limitations. Passage is allowed only along two verified routes.
One of them is the famous Golitsyn trail, the second is called.

Both of them are marked on the ground, but more often a group of tourists is accompanied by an employee of the reserve - it is safer for both them and environment. Entrance is paid, and the prices are rather high - environmental protection activities require a lot of money, but the walk itself is definitely worth spending. During a visit to the sights of the New World, it is forbidden to make a fire and collect anything from the gifts of nature, including medicinal plants.

Here you can not scare animals and litter, leaving food waste. The staff of the reserve is especially zealous in fighting against the habit of tourists leaving “reminders” about themselves in the style of “Vasya was here”.

What is interesting for tourists "New World"?

It is spread out on the slopes of the coastal mountains and goes directly to the sea. He owns the beautiful bays Blue (also called the Robber or Pirate), Green and Blue, where the famous is located. Nicholas II, the Russian Tsar, liked the latter very much when he visited Prince Golitsyn in 1912. You can also see interesting natural ones, the unique properties of which the inventive Lion used for storage,
and singer Fyodor Chaliapin - for better acoustics.

But the most important local wealth is the world of plants. The main attraction is Stankevich's pine, or Sudak, which grows only in the New World and on. Beautiful and stubborn, she can survive almost on bare stones, and her needles often reach a length of 17 cm. In the reserve there are specimens that are more than 200 years old. Probably a poetic lone pine on mountain top did not grow at all in the wild north, but here. In any case, a photo of such a tree can still be taken.

Available in the reserve and. There are almost no such left on the planet, although the juniper tree can live for more than one thousand years. Individual local specimens exceed 5 m in height. The pistachio tupolis also grows here. The fumes of coniferous trees heal the air, so a walk will be very useful for those who have difficulties with the respiratory system.

grow on mountain slopes and rare herbaceous plants: crocuses, orchids, stone-loving feather grass and two-flowered. True, unlike evergreen conifers, it is far from always possible to admire them. Leaving feedback about the visit unique monument nature, numerous tourists and travelers always emphasize enchanting beauty these places.

How to get to the reserve?

To visit the reserve, you first need to get to the New World. The easiest way to do this is from Sudak: the distance is only 7 km, and there are many flights from the bus station, it is easy to get there by taxi. But from others, there are also routes to this village.

But then you need to contact the office of the reserve. The village is small and easy to find. Only employees determine the mode of visiting, but being in a protected area without permission means incurring trouble. The routes are marked, and if you go with a group, there will be a guide, so a map is hardly needed.

By car, you can get to the Novy Svet reserve from as follows:

Places such as the Novy Svet nature reserve in Crimea not only contribute to the conservation of natural resources, but also help people learn more about the world around them. This is probably what contributes to conservation activities the most.

The Novy Svet State Botanical Reserve, covering an area of ​​about 470 hectares, was established in 1974. At present, it is not only included in the natural reserve fund of Ukraine, but is also integral part world system natural areas under the special protection of the state.

The Novy Svet botanical reserve is located around the resort village of Novy Svet. The territory of the reserve begins from the natural boundary of Dimitraki, which is located on the seashore under steep western slopes mountains Palvani-Oba (southwest of Mount Fortress). One of the two peaks of this mountain (the rocky eastern peak) looks like a mold for making hats. Therefore, another name for the mountain is Bolvan. The Dimitraki tract is a wonderful corner of nature with the remains of one of the medieval Christian monasteries of Sugdeya (Sudak).

The territory of the Novy Svet reserve is grandiose rocks, stone chaos, unique vegetation… A semicircle of five beautiful mountains: Koba-Kaya (Cave Rock), Karaul-Oba (Karaulnaya Peak, Sentry Mountain), Sandyk-Kaya (Stone forehead), Sykhtlar and Kush-Kaya (Bird Rock) - forms, as it were, a bowl in which the Novosvetsky amphitheater is located, opening in the south with access to the Black Sea.

The coast of the state botanical reserve "New World" is decorated magnificent bays: Blue (Robber), Green (Sudak-Liman) and Blue (Deliliman) with the Royal Beach. massive Rocky Mountains Sokol (Kush-Kaya) (474m) and Koba-Kaya (165m) rise along the edges of the Green Bay, near which the Novy Svet resort village is comfortably located. extreme West Side reserve "New World" with the original mountain range with a jagged peak - Karaul-Oba and the coast of the Blue Bay is called Paradise (Paradise).

The Novy Svet botanical reserve was created to preserve the remnant of relict vegetation - pine and juniper groves and other ancient plants that grew here back in the Cenozoic era (which lasted 60 million years) ...

The main value of the flora of the Novy Svet reserve is the endemic Stankevich pine, or Sudak, which grows in the Crimea only here and on Cape Aya. In the area of ​​the botanical reserve, there are more than 5 thousand specimens of this pine, and some of its trees have reached 200-250 years of age. In the Novyi Svet reserve, you can see the natural park of the ancient tree-like juniper and many unusual trees of the reserved pistachio pistachio. From herbaceous plants in the Novy Svet botanical reserve grow: stone-loving feather grass, limodorum orchid, Susian crocus and other rare species.

A visit to the Novy Svet botanical reserve is paid and is allowed only along ecological paths - the main ecological routes: Golitsyn trail"(from the village of Novy Svet to Cape Kapchik) and" Novy Svet - Karaul-Oba - Kutlak.

Dear friends, the snow is ending and many of you are probably thinking more and more about summer. And where there is summer, there is Crimea and the eye, so to speak. Therefore, I thought it was time to start the Crimean Odyssey and lay the route of my blog along the best places Crimea, in which we were, with photos, descriptions and secrets.

And I decided to start from my favorite place, which I have been many times, from the reserve New World. In my opinion, along with the peninsula and the reserve, this is one of the best and most beautiful coastal places in the Crimea. For you, I will reveal the secrets of the reserve and guide you along the most interesting, in my opinion, route. The article turned out to be large, I will have to break it into 2 parts.

Reserve New World is located next to the resort village, located between the city and the village of Morskoye, other coastal resorts. See on the map.

From you can see part of the reserve: Mount Karaul Oba She is Rhinoceros Mountain.

Look closely, you will see the huge body of a rhinoceros, its neck, head, ear and large horn. We will go interesting route, we will first climb onto the body of the rhinoceros, we will go along the ridge, we will go down to its neck and we will climb right up to the ear, that is where they are interesting places and the best views.

The road to the New World passes through Sudak, you need to go very early in the morning, otherwise you will not have enough time to see everything. To travel to the New World, you will need, among other things, good running shoes and plenty of water with you; as far as I know, there are no springs in the reserve.

We squeeze into a packed minibus in Sudak, which goes to the village of Novy Svet along the street. Lenin. The road to the New World is not for the faint of heart, they will have to close their eyes in some areas, the narrow serpentine over the abyss, and even with sharp elevation changes on the turns and the creak of tires, will not leave you indifferent)).

Myself Novy Svet village it was of little interest to us personally, although there is a champagne wine factory with a tour and tasting, a museum of the history of champagne wines ... in general, all the conditions to get drunk and not go anywhere else))) - this is not for us.

Mostly people come here because of the beautiful nature reserve, juniper grove, systems beautiful bays and capes, famous picturesque Galitsyn trail.

Reserve New World

You can enter the reserve along the coast and from the village from the local market, where the path goes straight to Cape Kapchik.

For visiting the Novyi Svet reserve they take - tear up - 20 UAH, I am glad that some part of these funds really goes to the reserve - benches, signs, railings leading directly to the cape appeared.

But going straight to Cape Kapchik is not at all interesting, real views open from Cape Karaul Oba.

To do this, you need to go up from the path, to the right through the railing along the fences and traverse around Cape Kapchik first, without going down, then without going down to the sea, make another zigzag and at the turn leave the marked yellow path again to the right, from the sea along Cape Karaul Oba (along the body of the rhinoceros). So the path, taking us gradually up, leads to Ridge Karaul Oba, for the most high points reserve. Gaining altitude, often look back, we have the village of Novy Svet, Sokol rock, Sudak Bay.

On Mount Karaul Oba

Your landmark is a metal pyramid - a height mark on Karaul Oba. From there, looking north:

And amazing beauty the landscape of the Kutlak Bay, which is empty in September (that's where you don't have to fight for a place under the sun), Kabanevoy Cape, through which you can stomp to the Morskoy.

From a height we descend along the body-ridge of the rhinoceros closer to the sea and another beautiful view to the Novy Svet nature reserve - Golubaya Bay, in which the royal beach is located and the opening of the through grotto in Cape Kapchik is visible, Shchebetovka - cape Meganom, reviews and photos

Staircase of the Tauris in the New World

Many are looking for the stairs of the Taurus (cruel, bloodthirsty tribes - robbers who lived in cave cities Crimea) in the reserve. It is located in the ear of a rhinoceros, to get there, you need to go down to the valley, it is cut by a clear path).

Here in the photo, you can see the ear of a rhinoceros - the most high rock, and a little to the right - an opening in the rocks, overgrown with trees. It is there that the staircase is located, take a closer look, paths from the valley lead to it.

If you need to get from the New World to Kutlak bay, then you need to take it even more to the right, bending around the head of the rhinoceros on the right, cross the main path of the valley and go down to the sea, there is an interesting descent along the roots of trees, and the cave gap is a refrigerator as a reward, from where it blows cold even on a hot summer day. There you can leave your beer to cool while you climb around the reserve and not find it later, because the guide will lead a whole crowd behind you.

In order not to please the traumatologist instead of Taurus, before descending into the valley, you must first take to the right along the ridge of the rhinoceros, back, when good trails for the descent, they will all take you down to the valley anyway. On loose pebbles, you need to be extremely careful, there is nothing to do here in flip flops.

So, we went down to the valley and head to the stairs of the Taurus, but more on that in the next article.

What do you think of the New World? As always, I appreciate your comments.
