RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Near the village of Pshada on the territory of the farm there are four large dolmens equipped for tourist visits: Maya and Khan, Tenderness, Tor. Unlike the "uncultured" dolmens, which are scattered in large numbers through the forests and mountains of the region, hiking trails are equipped here for their visit, there is a layout, other infrastructure is equipped: a cafe, an artificial mini-waterfall, an entertainment shooting range. You can buy locally produced products at the farm shop.
As for the dolmens themselves, as the owners of the farm say, they are original, i.e. not a replica and not a restoration. The exact purpose of the structures has not been established for certain, but according to different versions of researchers, they could have been built as a place of worship, for burial, storage of crops, etc.
It cannot be said that this is a place to which it is worth specially going from Gelendzhik and other resorts in the Gelendzhik area, but if you drive by on the M4-Don highway, you can quite stop by and walk for half an hour to the megalithic buildings. By the way, here you can make a full stop for rest on the road at least for the whole day, for which you can use places to relax on the territory. The cost of the visit also includes the use of sockets for recharging phones, tablets, cameras, etc.
