Sights Of Guzeripl

Although Guzeripl is considered the best starting point for entering the Caucasian Reserve from Adygea and is widely known as a stopping place for tourists, in fact, there are very few attractions here. Here is the best museum in the Republic of Adygea – The Nature Museum of the Caucasian Reserve. On its territory there is also a dolmen, and there is a rope park with several routes of various levels of difficulty. And there are no more interesting places directly in the village.

In Guzeriple, the border of the Caucasian reserve passes, and you can take a simple walking route along one of the routes to get acquainted with its unique flora and fauna. However, most tourists are much more interested in more complex routes through the Reserve, which originate from the UZURUB checkpoint on Yavorova Polyana, where they will have to get from the village by transport, although the most experienced tourists can make a march to it with a length of almost 20 kilometers. Even a one-day walk through the Reserve from the checkpoint on Yavorova Polyana will allow in the summer to get to the remnants of the glacier and touch the winter snow under the scorching summer sun, see the most beautiful mountain landscapes and alpine meadows, not to mention the routes to the peaks of Fisht, Oshten, pshekha-SU, or hiking with access to the Black Sea.

Further details about all the attractions in Guzeriple, indicating the cost of visiting, opening hours and ways to get to them, and other attractions of Adygea can be found here.

Caucasian nature reserve

This is the main attraction of the Republic. Almost the entire territory of the Reserve in Adygea is a mountainous zone. It can be visited not only by lovers of multi-day hikes, but also by the most ordinary tourists in the form of a one-day hike, which is best to start in the morning, ideally early in the morning, otherwise you will not have time to see much. Even during a one-day hike, you can see Alpine Meadows, mountain streams and waterfalls, reach the glacier and walk in the snow even in the summer months, and, of course, enjoy the views of the mountains covered with snow caps. If you like multi – day hikes or are ready to climb one of the peaks (Fisht – 2867 meters, Oshten-2804 meters, Pshecha – Su-2743 meters), then you can go along one of the longer tourist routes with a tent and a backpack. Some of the routes are circular, others will take you to the Black Sea in Krasnodar Territory. Learn more about the Caucasus Nature Reserve and how to visit it here.

Nature Museum of the Caucasian Reserve and Dolmen

The museum exposition, made in the form of stuffed animals, photographs, diagrams and diagrams, introduces visitors to the flora and fauna of the reserve, including rare species listed in the Red Book. In separate halls, the history of the creation of the Reserve and the history of the "Kuban Hunt" are told. In general, visiting the museum is very informative and interesting, and it is worth visiting here, especially if you plan to visit the Reserve itself.

Also on the territory next to the museum is the most famous dolmen in the region.

Yavorovaya Polyana

Yavorova Polyana (also Yavorova Polyana) ends the asphalt road from Guzeripl to the checkpoint at the entrance to the Caucasian 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. 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 here you can ride ATVs, catch trout in a tiny artificial pond, and in winter go skiing (there is a lift). Learn more about Yavorovaya Polyana here.

Partizanskaya Glade

This is more an important point for a landmark than a landmark. It is located on the way on the mountain road from Guzeripl to Yavorova Polyana and the checkpoint at the entrance to the Caucasian Reserve. There is an observation deck overlooking the mountains of the reserve, a lake with paid trout fishing, a cafe, a campsite "Partizanskaya Polyana" and "Panorama". On some maps, this place is marked as the end of the asphalt road, but in fact the asphalt continues further up to Yavorova Polyana. Learn more about Partizanskaya Polyana here.

Guzeriple rope park

Rope amusement park in the village of Guzeripl (guzeripl cordon of the Caucasian reserve) includes 5 routes of varying length and complexity for children and adults. Here the smallest children can have fun and practice in passing the routes on the 1.5 meter high track, and adults can test themselves in passing an extreme 148 meter long route at altitudes from 3 to 6 meters. There are also trolls with a length of 534 meters and a height difference from 30 to 3 meters and a two-fold span over the river. The necessary equipment for the passage of routes is provided.

Rafting

Rafting is one of the most popular and affordable forms of entertainment in Adygea, but at the same time the most dangerous. Of course, he is no more dangerous here than in other places, but still, do not take him too lightly. At the very least, it is necessary to listen to the recommendations of instructors, and not to take children on dangerous routes. Most of the routes take place on the Belaya River, where the stage of the Russian championship in this sport is also held.
