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 it's really close 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. It was along this road that the wood was taken out of the prison camp for further rafting along the Belaya River to. Now it's tourist facility, picturesquely covered with mosses. Part of it passes right under the overhanging rock. This road will lead you to waterfall on the Zholobnaya river.

The Zholobnaya River carries its waters along with melted snow and mountain grasses directly from Lago-Naki plateau and here, as if slowly, it falls into a deep stone bowl, overgrown with dense moss on all sides. 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.

partisan glade

partisan glade is located approximately 14-15 kilometers west of Guzeripl. You can get there by a good asphalt road, which starts from the mouth of the Zhelobnaya River. The glade got its name due to the fact that during the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars, here, on a gentle, high and inconspicuous place, there was a local partisan base, from which it was very convenient to make sorties in different directions. Here locals kept their livestock, hiding it from enemies. Experienced instructors say that this place became truly famous and touristic only after a camp site was built here. And before that, find a way out to the clearing independent tourists It was very difficult for those who did not know the area, because the glade is located under sheer dolomite walls with a height of 80 meters.

A little further west and a little higher, 6 kilometers from Partisan glade, exactly where the asphalt roads end, is located Yavorova Polyana, so named because of the dense thickets of the unique perennial sycamore maple. It cannot be said that this glade is something else unique. Another transit point for those who aspire to the mountains, another Observation deck for those who take a leisurely walk in the vicinity of the village of Guzeripl.
