Adygea. Waterfalls of the River Large Rufaggo

The waterfalls of the stream of Big Ruffaggo are located in Adygea, 2 km from the village of Kamennicorovsky, above the flow of the White River. Tourists have a rifugggo string gorge with famous waterfalls Rufabgo.

They are located two kilometers from Hajoha (Republic of Adygea). Hundreds of tourists on weekends get here to relax from the city bustle, admire the surrounding beauty, stocking energy from the Great Nature.

Rufabgo Waterfalls walk from the bridge over the White River. Before the bridge, a large carcass of vehicles is usually large, especially on weekends. Already being on the bridge a man is experiencing an invalid thrill - so amazes the power and beauty of the River Belaya.
Huge flat stone blocks lie along the edges of the water flow, as if trying to squeeze it into their vice. A light rush of a cool breeze has to perceive other, unusual reality. From the bridge, the waterfall "three brothers" is visible, in the place where Rufabgo (Bachurina) flows into the White River.
But this waterfall is not considered the first due to the fact that when it was not yet this bridge, and the path to the waterfalls led from Khajochkaya tested, it went straight to the next waterfall, which was always considered first.
And the waterfall "three brothers" simply did not attend. From that, there was some confusion in the names with the score of the waterfalls.

Waterfall "Heart Rufabgo"

Once on the other side of the river, you get on the once spacious glade, surrounded by a beech forest. Now Polyana is built up with small cafes, strange attractions, small gazebos for recreation and trays for souvenirs trading.
Although, I must say, Polyana was lodged with people a few millennia ago. Here is a network of ancient earthy mounds.

Rufaggo's stream - the left influx of the white river, with a length of about 17 km, originates on the northern slope of the Asian ridge. Creek Valley - Interesting natural monument. Mountain breeds of different geological periods.
In the row, the stream crosses the soluble rocks and conditions of rocking rocks, it expands, it is narrowed and forms up to 15 waterfalls, diverse in shape and sizes. Rufaggo has one large left tributary - Bachurin stream, which flows into Rufaggo 3 km above the mouth.
At the place of failure, traces of the settlement of the Paleolithic era and the late Middle Ages were found. The lower part of Rufabgo's course is most interesting and visited.
In this place, the river flows into a deep gorge with steep slopes up to 160 meters high and more, which upstairs end with the sheer rock walls, the so-called - Coustami.
When it is raining or melted snow, a peacefully sparkling stream can turn into a formidable stream, a tapping boulder and trees, therefore, they called Ruffaggo's streams, which means "mad", "stroke".

Behind the far edge of the forest glade is a descent to the first waterfall called "noise" descent is equipped with a metal staircase. In general, I must say that approximately half of the route is well equipped for easy caves walking along the valley of the stream - there are stacked paths, and bridges, and dresses, and fences.

From the waterfall "noise" to the second called "Cascade" or "Kid" about 900 meters. A slow walk through the shady fairyway satures the body of energy. Around the furious forest, Tis, Rhododendron, ivy Kolkhidsky, holly. The second waterfall is not large and consists of a cascade of three small waterfalls.
It can be passed, not noticing. But, already approaching the third waterfall, with beautiful title "Heart of Rufabgo", get to the most unique place Gorge. This waterfall is almost always gloomy. A huge stone block found by nature in the form of a giant heart, blows the riverbed.
On the right side, the narrow flow of water breaks into a picturesque deep gorge. Rocks of the gorge, composed of horizontally limestone slabs, sworn moss and fill the space mysterious echo.
According to the legend, brave Jigit Hajokh, defeating the martial arts of the cruel giant Rufabgo, pulled his heart from him and scored in the stream. It petrocated by turning the stream and forming a waterfall. This part of Rufaggo gorge is very similar to the Gum's Gorge.

Behind this waterfall gorge expands and an amazing view opens. From the height of the five-story house, water drops narrow and long ribbon. Under the waterfall, a small lake. This waterfall has two name "Lace" and "Maiden Spit".
The left bank of the stream in this place is framed by a huge rock, its wall consists of a variety of rocks of the rocky lime. Plug water waterfall creates a unique sound of this natural musical instrument.
Steel walls of this deep gorge have good acoustics. The eternal music of nature is impressive, pulls to visit these places again and again. Further, the path jumps over the stream and rises cool up the steps of almost the steep wall.
A few minutes walk after the waterfall "lace", the trail dismisses Rufabgo and Bachurina. It costs a high rock that shares them. Rufabgo leaves the left.
If you go in this place strictly along the path with the labels, the location of the merger can not be noticed, since the path rises up, rich rocks, and then descends above the fusion of two streams.
Highly interesting place To be at the rock of the separating streams from Rufabgo - huge, incredible sizes stone plate, rested in the rock, forming through passage.
This is a rock "Parus", covered with a thick soft carpet of Collichi ivy.
Through the passage also goes the trail, by which you can then go down to the Rufaggo creek. From three sides of the rock is broken by a monolithic wall. On the flat top of the cliff, an ancient fortress is located. The remains of fortress structures allow us to judge its inaccessibility.

Many tourists finish the examination of the waterfalls, visiting the waterfall "Lace" not assuming that the most beautiful cascade of waterfalls ahead. The distance between "Lace" and the subsequent waterfall of about 800 meters. Overcoming sticks and labyrinths of the block, as well as fairly fresh stone collas, the trail leads to a bunk cascade of waterfalls.
First, there is a magnificent waterfall "Bowl of Love" The place of this waterfall is noted by special beauty. Waterfalls do not have sad people. All pressing problems are forgotten here.
Crystal jets of falling, rumbling water carry the space energy of the sun and wind, the coolness of mountain glaciers and freshness of forests.
The name of the waterfall occurred from a drip spring, once falling with a high rock in the openwork stone bowl, which the spring himself and pulled out in stone. Unfortunately, the spring is no longer there, although in different places Rocks still fall separate drops with big height. But the bowl somehow disappeared.

The last waterfall is located literally 50 meters upstream of Rufaggo, it is visible from the "love bowl", but not everyone will get to him - a low, but the sheer cliff serves for many serious obstacles. To try to climb the cliff, the tourists themselves thick wooden sticks themselves - try, and you will not regret.

Returning back, to the "Noise" waterfall, which wishes and physically trained can visit the Cever "Through". Next to descent to the waterfall, an inconspicuous trail is left (marked with white labels with white), which will rise cool up. The rise stretches about 300 meters to the stone wall.
Raising her need to turn left and take another about 100 meters. According to legend, this cave is the former housing of Rufaggo. Amazes a huge entrance to the cave, truly, the Giant was to live here.
Here you can get in touch with eternity and feel the magical forces of nature, which continue to act so far.

At any time of the year, the waterfalls are beautiful and each of them is a unique and unique in the beauty of the scattering of nature. Never repeating, she creates these amazing creations.
In the summer, the waterfalls penetrated by the rays, waterfalls are transferred by all the colors of the rainbow. In the spring, they are many times, mutted, their continuous crash is heard from afar.
In the fall, they are quiet, thoughtful, shallow water. Lakes next to waterfalls are covered with filling gold foliage, creating multicolored amazing patterns of a mirror kaleidoscope.
In winter, this is the kingdom of the Snow Queen. Ice bastions from huge icicles. Crystal gigantic organ. Water, pulsating in icy labyrinths, makes divine sounds of different tonality. True connoisseurs of unusual beauty every year visit this fabulous world.
Hurting spiritually, distracting from pressing concerns and problems, they absorb this earth energy of natural beauty, strength and health.

River (or stream) Rufaggo - the left influx of the River White, with a length of about 17 km. Rufabgo originates on the northern slope of the Asian Range and flows into white 2 km above the village of Kamennicorova.

According to the legend of Rufaggo called the giant, who had ever inhabited in these places. He was angry and fierce, and his name meant "mad, plump". There is also a version that it is distorted by the Adygean word "Syrefybg", which is translated as "white oddity (hill)", due to the abundance of foaming (white) waterfalls. According to other data, the name is redone from "Gufaggo (Gufabgg)", which literally means "nine, who have been nearby" in the number of nine major waterfalls.

To see Rufabgo, you need to go through the bridge through the canyon of the White River in the village of Kamennosnostsky, turn left and climb along the coast upstream. To the left of the gorge here is heard the noise of water, and the right rises with a sheer, hanging over the path of the wall.

Rufabgo from here is about 2 km. The path loops on a sufficiently dense forest in the shade of the ash by Lianan and spitty of rabes, oaks, maples and elm.

Known stream, primarily by its waterfalls, as well as the diversity of the rocks of various geological periods overlooking the surface of rocks. Here you can see the gray thin-filled marbled limestones of the Lower Triassic, which were formed 180-170 million years ago. The pink grandiors are published above the surface. The tops of the slopes of the valley are composed of light gray and white Upper Mountain limestone age 130-120 million years.

Due to the fact that Rufabgo crosses on its path heterogeneous on the hardness and conditions of location rocks, the bed is expanding, it is narrowed, forming a variety of waterfalls in shape and height. The river flows through the canyon, the depth of which near the mouth reaches 160 m.

The main attraction of these places, of course, is waterfalls, which at Rufabgo numbered 15. Most often, tourists attend the five first, which are the largest and more effective.
The first of the waterfalls, which is called "noise", is located just a 15-minute walk from the Khajokh (Kammony) - Dakhovskaya highway. His name speaks for itself - from a height of about 5 m flow of water with noise fall into a small lake.

Further, the trail is plotting through the gorge, forest thickel and stones. The second waterfall is modest first, some pass it without even noticing. But it is no less beautiful and there is no crowd of tourists.

But by a third waterfall no one will pass. The stream of the stream in this place braves a huge stone block, resembling a human heart shaped. On the right, a thin rod is broken into a deep gorge, whose rocks are thick frightened and from any sound reflect the mysterious echo. This waterfall is called "Heart Rufabgo". By legend, evil giant kept in fear local residents, and the very beautiful girls Picky as a date. Many wanted to kill him, but it was impossible to do it, since a severe hand or head immediately appeared at Giant again. But one day, a brave and clever young man Khochoch met in the mountains of a wise elder named Mesmai, who listened to him and gave a leather pouch with a powder. The elder explained the young man that it was necessary to drive up to Rufaggo from the windward side, pour the powder from which the cloud is formed. Once in this cloud, Rufabgo will stop seeing and at this moment it is necessary to cut him the chest, take out the heart and throw it as far as possible. That's how the brave hodgeh of evil giant won. And the head of Rufabgo abandoned in the gorge passed and turned into a huge block. After the showers of the stream here to become a brown-red from the blurred clay and it seems that blood flows from a huge heart

Here, the stream of thin ribbon is broken from a 15-meter height in a small, but a fairly deep waterfall boiler.

From the height of the upper ledge, the lake at the bottom seems to be serene against the background of violent, falling water.

In this cup, the water is slowly spinning, then reaches the edge of the ledge and the ribs of thin limestone layers, as if along the steps, the cascade rushes down.

To the right of the lace you can find a thick log with metal pins that replace the steps. If you get up, then there is a trail with almost vertical lifts and slippery descents. This trail will lead to the place where Rufabgo merges with his influx - Bachurina stream. In this place there is a high rock, surrounded by three sides by stone monolith. At the top of the cliff, a practically destroyed fortress was visible and among the wreckage of rocks and a variety of stone Navalov, a very beautiful bunk waterfall "Devicious Spit" was attached.

By the next waterfall, you can move several trails passing by boulders on both sides of the stream.

At the end of the way, the waterfall is a bowl of love. A huge boulder hangs over this waterfall forming a small niche at the bottom, in which if necessary, it is even possible to wait for the rain.

None of the places do not have such popularity from tourists as the Rufaggo Roufaggo Gorge with waterfalls. Hundreds of tourists in crowded electricians on weekends get to Hajoha. To rest from the city bustle and life, admire the surrounding beauty, stocking energy from the Great Nature.

The first waterfall of Rufabgo was heard from published. Obtaining with a height of more than 6 meters, water falls into the lake. On this waterfall the most tourists. A comfortable glade in front of the waterfall was caught by people a few millennia ago.

The second waterfall is not so large, and it can be passed without noticing. But the third will stop anyone. A huge stone block found by nature in the form of a giant heart, blows the riverbed. On the right side, the narrow flow of water breaks into a picturesque deep gorge. Rocks of the gorge, composed of horizontally limestone slabs, sworn moss and fill the space mysterious echo. This waterfall tourists are called the "Heart of Rufabgo".

For the third waterfall gorge expands and an amazing look opens. From the height of the five-story house, water drops narrow and long ribbon. Under the waterfall, a small lake. It is nusted by this Waterfall "Shordochkom".

Many tourists end up the examination of the waterfalls, not assuming that the most beautiful cascade of waterfalls ahead. Overcoming the jets and labyrinths of the block, the trail leads to a bunk cascade of the Waterfalls "Devicious Spit" and "Bowl of Love". This place is noted by special beauty.

On the merger of Rufabgo and Bachurina streams is a high rock. From three sides, it is broken by a monolithic wall. An ancient fortress was located on the flat top of the cliff. The remains of the fortress structures allow us to judge her formerly inaccessibility. Nearby, at the foot of the cliff, nature created a nudity of huge rocks. Particularly impressive rock sail covered with a dense carpet of Collid ivy. (From the story of Bormotov I.V.)

Our route passes through the top of the rocks of the sail. You can go to it on both sides. Returning back from the double waterfall, a bowl of love needs to go through meters 150 along the stream (orographically left bank) to the tree with a blue arrow and a half-gun inscription. From this place you need to climb up the steep dumping slope ... Next, it will go into the path. The second lift is located near the Bachurina waterfall. If you look at the waterfall itself, the path will be visible to the right will be visible upward, then you need to cross the stream of Bachurin and climb along the trail to the top of the rocks. At the edge of the cliff, the sail is an excellent visibility point with which you can admire the view of the Rufabgo Valley. At the north edge of the cliff views of the Bachurina waterfall. It turns out he is double! From the south side of the cliff, a view of the continuation of Rufaggo Gorge. Having in love with a widow, we go on southern edge Rocks on a well-stuffed path. It passes high above the waterfalls "Bowl of Love" and "Devicious Spit" ... We hear their rumble. Next, we go to the Lelkin waterfall and the grota next to him. He is in stone vice, so you can look at it only on top. We continue to walk along the path through the navals of the stone blocks and soon we go to the town where the stream is heard on the right. It rolls up with a three-four meter waterfall. Pleasure! To the left of him a pure spring. A few meters along the path we go to the huge throat. This is an instructing grotto. According to the stories of Borotov, I.V. Up to 80 people stayed here !!! Not far from the grotto is noisy another waterfall. A good place In order to stay at the night and relax from the city bustle.
