Sights of Guzeripl: interesting places of the village. Guzeripl: rest in the mountain veil of beautiful Adygea

Picturesque places have always attracted travelers. The village of Guzeripl was no exception to the rule. This is a small territory, which is located in the southern part of the Republic of Adygea on mountain slopes Caucasian ridge. The place was built at an altitude of about six hundred and seventy meters above sea level, among the highest mountain peaks of the Caucasus, which are covered with fir forests. The residents and guests of the village have always been pleased with the healing air, the crystal clear water of the Belaya River, amazing and extraordinarily beautiful natural conditions Caucasus. All these factors were able to transform the former logging village in such a way that it became the most sought after area for visitors and a unique recreation center for all travelers.

Guzeripl is translated from Adyghe as "road". But there is another translation option that sounds like "observational". This name has some meaning, because the village used to be and remains, to this day, an observation post for the entire southern part of Adygea. At the entrance to Guzeripl, tourists can see in all its glory the beautiful rocky belt "Stone Sea". A little further located Mountain peak Adygea - Mount Tyrba.

Behind the bridge, which is located in the village, across the Belaya River, the territories of the Caucasian biosphere reserve. Here is the border through which travelers enter famous nature reserve. A museum has been built in this place, which is dedicated to natural beauties Caucasus, as well as the history of the renewal of some species of Caucasian bison. After visiting the museum, many go on an excursion along the Molchele River, where they can see a huge dolmen that has existed for about 4 thousand years, and a monument mass grave soldiers who acted as defenders of Guzeripl. Every year, international rafting competitions are held on the territory of the village.

To date, Guzeripl is a fairly promising tourist site, the development of which is proceeding at a rapid pace. It is surrounded on all sides by wonderful and scenic spots. As for central square village, it is also the most beautiful observation deck.

Being in this place, tourists can observe wonderful views of the Belaya River and its beautiful shores. This unique area is perfect for training. extreme views sports. For tourists, any route can be a novelty or a whole discovery.

If you are planning your vacation in places Krasnodar Territory, then you need to take a lot of warm clothes in reserve, since the temperature in the village can range from +18 degrees in summer to -5 degrees in winter. Despite the very low temperature, many travelers are not at all afraid to plunge into transparent, the purest water Belaya river.

As for housing, vacationers should not have any special problems with this issue. On the territory of the village, you can easily rent a room, use local hotels or hotels. Everywhere vacationers will be offered comfortable living conditions with all necessary conditions and excellent service.

So in any case, they can feel great, as in paradise. Guzeripl is located at a distance of about 75 km from Maykop. Nearby there is a railway station Hajok just 46 km from the village. An excellent asphalt road has long been laid through the village of Khamyshki, along which you can freely go to Guzeripl. Very soon local rulers are planning to combine two unique tourist site- the village of Guzeripl and the Lago-Naki plateau.

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 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 of the 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 Cordon 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 arrived at partisan 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 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.
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.

Guzeripl is a place of rest for many residents and guests of Adygea. What is the attraction of Guzeripl?

Guzeripl - geography

Guzeripl is located on the left bank of the Belaya River (not included in the territory of the Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve - KGPBZ), 76 km from Maykop and 46 km from railway station Khadzhokh (settlement Kamennomostsky). Height above sea level is 665.4 m. Further on, the uninhabited territory of the Caucasian Reserve extends. On the territory of Guzeripl, the Molchepa and Zholobnaya rivers flow into the Belaya River.

Built in the 2000s highway Guzeripl - Lagonaki, leading through the recreation center "Partizanskaya Polyana" to the Lago-Naki plateau. At a dead end near Yavorova Polyana begins hiking trail to the Fisht shelter in the reserve.

Guzeripl - history

As a tourist center, Guzeripl begins its history in 1940, when the Guzeripl camp was built there (as a branch of the Kamennomostsky Tourist House), in our time - the Kavkaz camp site.

In 1949, the most famous, starting in the village, was opened a tourist route No. 30 "After Western Caucasus". It passes through the glades Partizanskaya and Yavorovaya to the Armenian shelter, then through the Guzeripl and Armenian passes to the Fisht shelter, and from there through the Belorechensky and Circassian passes in Babuk-aul.

Guzeripl - modernity

Translated from the Adyghe " Guzerypl(gozaripl)" means "road" or "observant", which is not far from the truth, because this is the last locality in this direction. Near the village there is a rocky belt of the Stone Sea ridge, and behind it is one of the highest peaks Adygea - Mount Tyrba. WITH central clearing Guzeripl you can see the valley of the Belaya River.

In Guzeripl, there is a museum of the Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve, which displays local plants and stuffed animals. The pride of the reserve is the restoration of the Caucasian bison population.

On the territory of the museum you can see the largest (and, fortunately, the whole) dolmen on the territory of Adygea. He is over four thousand years old. In the glade of tourist rallies on the left bank of the Belaya River, there are the remains of other dolmens.

And how not to mention that every year in May international rafting competitions Interrally - Belaya are held. Thousands of spectators gather to watch the athletes cross the rugged rapids on kayaks, canoes, catamarans and rafts.

Simultaneously with the rally in Guzeripl, at the Glade of Bards, a festival of author's and amateur songs Primrose takes place. Festival participants and spectators live on the banks of the Belaya River in a tent city.

Guzeripl - panoramic points

The first one is Malaya observation platform. It is located on the Black Rock almost in the center of Guzeripl. In addition to the river you can see eastern part village.

The second is the Large observation platform (above the Small one). Located on a rocky ridge and allows you to see the central and southern part village.

The third one is located on the southern slope of the Cossack mountain. From the rocky “shelves” you can see the Abago, Atamazhi and Guzeripl mountains.

The fourth - on the slope of Mount Filimonov (on the territory of the reserve), is visited very rarely.

Happy New Year!

Today we returned from a trip to the winter Guzeripl. I already wrote about this place in a post from. But earlier all our trips here took place in the summer-autumn time. But now they are worthy of winter. And, as they say, a report in hot pursuit:
1.

We drove up to Guzeripl in a slight disappointment. The snow promised by the forecast was present, but it was somehow very poor. The sun shone like spring, slightly warming. The road is in excellent condition. But there are some surprises:
2.


It’s even scary to imagine if such a pebble hits a car. And rock "painting" is oppressive!

3. The Belaya River was calm, shallow and relatively transparent:

4.

5. Although in some places on our way (at the confluence of Kishi and Belaya) as always buzzed and seethed in full:

6. Rafting on the Belaya it stops and in winter. Only the ammunition of the rafters changes and the start time of the rafting from the rafting workshop in Guzeripl is at 11:00 and 14:00:

7. In Guzeripl Nice weather. Only slightly windy

8.

For those interested in traveling wonderful place. Despite high prices V new year holidays(doubled), all hotels are packed to capacity. Don't be discouraged by the lack of cars in front of the hotels for good luck. We ourselves were surprised by this fact, but in the evening the picture was completely different. The parking lots are busy too. People returned from various places: Lago-Naki, Dakhovskaya, Khomyshki, Pobeda village, Partizanskaya Polyana, etc.
Additional services (baths, walks on various types transport, etc.) for the period new year holidays also doubled the price
By the way, how do we regular guests hotels " white river”, the administration made a gift - a visit to the spa area of ​​the hotel at regular prices. For which they respect.

After a successful accommodation, we went for a walk along Guzeripl and to the reserve. Have done this several times on previous visits. But we are happy to go again.
9. Snow on roadsides:

10. The reserve met with slush of snow mixed with mud. But the mood was good and they did not pay attention to such nuances:

11. Artificial dam on the Molchepa River in place :)

12. Wonderful pavilion on the bank of the Belaya, where it is very pleasant to relax!

13. Such a highly artistic scarecrow guards the gardens of the staff of the museum of the reserve:

Well, these are two exhibits from the same museum. By the way, these stuffed she-bears and cubs were made in 1936 and are still in excellent condition. You can even see it in the photos:
14.

15.

16. In the evening, to the delight of all the guests of our and other hotels, it began to snow.

17. And by morning, Guzeripl and its surroundings were transformed into a view more suitable for this time of year and pleasing gas:

18.

19.

20.

21. From the very early morning, the rumble of ATVs, all-terrain buggies is heard.

Having driven along Guzeripl, we headed to the Partizanskaya glade.
The road has not been cleared yet. The autotourists who passed ahead of us broke a rut. On it we moved to a clearing located at an altitude of 1600 m above sea level. The road goes up all the time. From Guzeripl we need to climb 900 m higher.

22. In the morning it was rather cloudy and the mountains looked unfriendly.

23.

A couple of times I had to help get stuck motorists.
By the way, the geography of the guests of Guzeripl is very extensive. The main part of the guests is Krasnodar region. There are a lot of Rostov, Stavropol, Muscovites, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Volgograd residents ... The list can be very long.

24. They pushed not this Rostovite, but another master. He, in joy, that got out umotal far enough. And its passengers (in the left corner of the picture) will take a long time to catch up with their carrier on foot, which is not very easy uphill and in the snow :)

Having reached the Partizanskaya glade, we literally got into a snowstorm. Very strong wind, blizzard. The temperature in comparison with Guzeripl dropped to -5. And with the wind - it's all -15! The bugles don't work. The parking lots are covered in snow. You can turn around only with the principle of Tetris. About 10 people tried to sled. My companion flatly refused to get out of the car. Maybe we just got here at the wrong time.

25. With a word, they turned around and leaned back.

26. As if in an apology for the spoiled toboggan holiday, the sun periodically peeked out from behind the clouds and all the charm winter scenery opened before us:

27.

At the urgent request of my companion, Santa Claus brought her a gift - a digital soap box. And now pictures from Elena are pouring in like from a cornucopia. It's nice that I have a co-author on the pictures. Yes, and your obedient servant began to appear more often in photographs, which is good:
28.

29.

30.

31.

32. What spruces and firs are here! Beauty!

33. Bridge over the Zhelobnaya river:

34.

Having received your dose of adrenaline from the difficult part of the road and weather conditions trips to Partizanskaya Polyana, having seen enough of the winter beauties of the mountain forest, having received a lot of pleasant impressions, we returned to the hotel.

And in the evening, the promised spa area of ​​the Belaya Reka Hotel was waiting for us.
Abstracting from a pleasant gesture on the part of the hotel in the form of non-use of holiday cheats in relation to us, we must pay tribute to the quality of the services provided. And the services most in demand are a bathhouse (sauna or hammam of your choice) and a swimming pool. Everything is done in the highest class, automated, excellent locker rooms with all necessary accessories, shower, spacious steam rooms, enough large swimming pool with a set of accessories for hydromassage, beautiful lighting, good music, optional - a bar. In a word, everything contributes good rest and good mood. We didn’t take photos, it wasn’t up to them :))

The next morning was snowy. Wet snow just fell. The weather was not conducive to the planned walk. After a short gathering, we sadly parted with Guzeripl and headed towards the house. On the way, we decided to stop by monastery- St. Michael's hermitage in the village of Pobeda. Have been here many times but want to visit again.

35. The snow did not stop for a second all our way to the monastery, and even during our stay there:

36. Holy Trinity Church, monastery refectory:

37. It is gratifying that so many parents come to this Holy place with own children:

38. Colorful donkey (in this situation, rather a donkey) and his owner in the parking lot near the monastery, waiting for customers:

39. In the Holy Trinity Church of the monastery, despite the bad weather, it was very crowded:

40.

41.

42. Assumption temple of the monastery:

43. Visitors were allowed to go up to the dome area of ​​the Holy Trinity Church, from where a wonderful view of the surroundings certainly opens. But not today. The snow hid all the nearby beauties:

On this our winter travel in Guzeripl ended. We were very satisfied. We made sure that you can relax here at any time of the year. Now we plan to return here in April-May 2015 with the hope of seeing rafting competitions. As we were told, the spectacle is amazing.

Thanks for your time and good luck!
