🚶 How to get there
the bridge and park are located in the village of Kazachiy Brod, 45 kilometers from the center of Sochi and 20 kilometers from Adler (Skypark on the map. The entrance to the park and the bridge is high above the level of the village, so it is best to plan a trip directly to the entrance. If you come to the village by bus, you will have to change to another bus or go up for a long time on foot. You can get there by public transport, with excursions or by private car (there is ample free parking), but the easiest way is to use an inexpensive transfer from the park itself:
Park transfer
8 times a day from 09:30 to 16:30 every hour from the railway station Adler bus departs at a cost of 100 rubles in both directions. Return from the park every hour from 10:00 to 18:00. Booking in advance is not required, you can buy tickets on the spot. On request, a transfer from the center of Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana can be arranged by phone, see here - skypark.ru/getting-here.
City buses
Directly to the entrance to the park runs the only city bus number 131 from the railway station Adler. You can also take it at the Novy Vek bus stop near Central Market or at Adler airport. But this bus runs quite rarely, about every 1-2 hours according to the schedule. Here is the schedule in 2021: 05:40, 06:50, 08:10, 09:40, 11:30, 12:50, 13:50, 15:20, 18:00, 19:00. The fare is 80 rubles. If you need to get from another place, including mountain resorts of Krasnaya Polyana, then you can take buses №№ 105, 535, 219, 221, 130 get to the stop Hamshensky Dvor, and already on it transfer to the bus number 131, which will take you up to the park.
Well, an option for those who are ready to walk a little on foot. Take any of the buses №№ 105, 535, 219, 221, 130 and go to the stop "Trout Farm". Then from this stop you will have to go up to the entrance to the park with a height difference of about 230 meters along a marked path that leads first to the Akhshtyr cave, and then to the entrance to the park.
