Yavorovaya Polyana in Adygea

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Yavorova Polyana (also Yavorova Polyana) ends with an asphalt road from Guzeripl to the Uzurub checkpoint at the entrance to the Caucasus Nature Reserve. It is located at an altitude of 1680 meters, i.e. from the village of Guzeripl you will have to climb as much as 1000 meters up. Here the car will have to leave, and then continue on foot along one of the hiking routes. If you plan to walk around the reserve only during daylight, you can leave the car on the side of the road, if you have planned a hike for several days with overnight stays in the Reserve in a tent, or you are very worried about your car, you can leave it in a paid parking lot behind a barrier for 200 rubles The Uzurub checkpoint itself at the entrance to the Reserve is a little further on foot through the forest (10 minutes on foot). We remind you that the entrance to the Reserve is paid (see for more information about the Caucasian Reserve in Adygea and how to visit it), tickets will need to be purchased at the checkpoint.

There is also an observation deck with a beautiful view of the Caucasus Mountains, there is a cafe, and a tourist shelter. However, do not consider spending the night in it as a place to relax, since it has only the most basic amenities just to spend the night and in the morning go on a journey through the Reserve. From entertainment on Yavorova Polyana there is quad biking, trout fishing in a tiny artificial pond, and in winter skiing and sledding (there is a cable lift).
