Many springs are known to the rock of hell of a finger on the Ural River Usva, and another rock "finger" can be seen on the river ah (from Bashkir - Moon). There are damasters finger in the rocks under Feodosia, and even on Baikal, you will be happy to spend the same local attraction. So maybe the right of legend about the mighty warrior, and it is worth translating it into the episodas?

What tells the legend about the damn finger and its appearance

The rock of the blacks finger at the Mountain Altai is popular thanks to the legend that old people tell grandchildren. In some manuscripts of the Biysky Museum of Local Lore Museum, there are early references to the "Battle of Good and Evil" on the land of Altai, but at least the approximate date of the appearance of the legend is not specified anywhere.

The legend of the warrior of Kuyum, Herbal Church and wise older

In the mountains of Altai lived once a young warrior Kuyum. He earned his life to his hunt, because there was a strong, like a bear and could walk to the game for a long time. There was a courage brave, did not scare his strong frost or a mighty mountain wind, so he hunted in the mountains weeks, and only the skins brought home. They said that the couch is cunning and smeared, like a fox, so he always found prey, as if the beast was not hiding. Kuyum fired perfectly from Luka, and each of his arrow found her goal. The warrior was leaving from the cable to his faithful horse, which was used with the speed and strength of the wind.

So I lived Kuum, but an unexpectedly unexpected building came to the native edge - the name of Church. I ruined the hell of fertile lands, and people took the edges of unknown and tormented by the flour with brutal. Chort's cruelty was so terrible that people left their native places, and if the world nastalized them, they threw the children in the water of mountain rivers so that they would not suffer and did not suffer. People fought, as they knew how, gathered the best warriors and shooters, hunters and landpashers in a big army, but Choly cried this army in one moment, and people ruined.

Elders gathered and went to the old man that lived far in the mountains, for advice. The answer of the elder was amazing people, because the whole army could not cope with the brace, but the old man insisted on his:

"Send one warrior brave to hell.
When it suddenly becomes quiet and dark,
When the moon eclipses in sky Starry,
When to sleep firmly there will be a Grozny
Let the horses of his horses
Lead the monster in the ground
So that the earth fell forever. "

The elders thought for a long time, and in the meantime, almost ruined the Altai lands. They remembered people about Kuium, found him in the mountains, began to ask for help. Kuyum did not know in their wanders that the worked came to his native land, so immediately responded to the call for help. At the very dark night, Kuym on his faithful race rushed on the spot, and they fought no day and not two, but when it all ended, they saw people that did not become the live of Lyuto, only the finger sticking out of the earth remained. So petrified the finger, and turned over time to the rock over the Katun River.

There is one more legend, but in it, the moon coped with the cruel scratch, which came down from heaven and hit the villain on his head, and pressed him to the ground until one finger was left.

Ancient chapel

In the autumn of 1861, Emperor Alexander II wanted to personally make sure that the military campaign was achieved in the West Caucasus and visited the Kuban region. By then, Russia has already argued its position in the North Caucasus for more than 30 years.

The old chapel, founded at the end of the XIX century, is located near the village of the Novosvobody Maykopsky district of Adygea. They built it in 1881, to the 20th anniversary of visiting these places by the Russian monarch Alexander II.

University and Chinarsky Waterfalls

These waterfalls are not as well known in Adygea as, for example, the famous Rufaggo. There are few people here, and this is a great opportunity to get nice impressions of the walk.

The Chinarsky Waterfall is located near the village of Temmolesskaya, on the chinarium beam. The waterfall is relatively small, but surrounded by a suede amphitheater. From the Chinar Waterfall, along the scalp on the left bank of the beam, the trail is out. Its main part passes along the river bed.

Russian settlers who founded the surrounding stages: Sevastopol, Tsarist (Novosvoy), Abadzekh - after the completion of the Caucasian warriors, and called these unusual buildings "Bogatyan Hutca." Since the huts were folded from huge stone blocks, later the name "Bogatyrskaya Polyana" passed.

Musical caves

At the source of the Aminovsky River there are three mysterious caves - "Duhan", "Saxophone" and "Flute". Why mysterious? Yes, because even experienced guides and local historians are often confidently caves and cannot say with confidence where which one is located. And "Flute" some consider not a separate cave, but by the second exit from Dukhana.

Each of the caves has an unusual acoustic effect. Inside the "flutes" flows a small stream, the murmur of water echo reflects from the cave archives and becomes like a flute sounds. From another cave, the sounds resembling the game on the saxophone are clearly.

The most desperate can make a separate four-hour underground journeyabout the cave "Duhan " On the way there will be a large underground waterfall, huge stone halls and countless karst funnels. Travel is quite dangerous. T.it is more that in many places the passages are very narrow and you will need a certain skill to overcome some sections of the route.

The rock of the traits finger is the rocky exposure of the Un-goat Ridge near the village of Dakhovskaya, that in the mountains of the Republic of Adygea, the rocks are at an altitude of about 900 meters. You can get to the rocks of the finger in several ways, from the Mishoke gorge, from the stone quarries near the village of Merry and from the village of Dakhovskaya from the old bridge. Our route was generally new, and it is connected with the opening of a new cable car, but about everything in order

The day began with breakfast in a cafe crawling in the village of Kamennicovostsky. In general, the weather is on that day of the ball, it all started in Krasnodar when a thaw began after severe frosts. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe hike that day, the warmth was also warm, the blood was warm + 2-3 southern wind, but the Earth and the snow remained freezing and did not think to melt, therefore, on the background of the expectation of jubous frosts, it was comfortable.

The route in such format was the premiere as it started from the new cable car. Savran cable car, namely, it is called, was opened at the end of 2014. There is no information on the length of the length and the difference in the tickets, the rise takes about 15 minutes.

At the top of any infrastructure, in addition to horseback riding, toilet and the tea trader, it is not provided for January 2015. Flyer, he also promises more quad bikes, skiing, sleds, a bougiel lift and a variety of routes whose marking is not yet ready, except of course the route to the Tetis Park.

The route to the rope park passes along the road and is placed by the arrows and markers, in the summer there is an abundance of paths, but in the winter we go along a narrow path, without a chance to turn off the way, since the depth of snow cover is up to 40 cm. To the park near a kilometer, in the park on the observation Instructor that presents us just a complete complex of rope entertainment. I did not remember anything since a strong wind blew and we moved further. Read more about Tetis www.tetistur.ru

The rock of the traits finger is about a kilometer of the way from the Rope Park, there is new trail For customers Tetis, there is old trail Along the road, there were no traces along the new way, and we began to trop on the old footsteps along the road. Perhaps the closing participants did not feel the difference, but the first troika was noticeably tired, and we rested every 100-150 meters. The last 100 meters on the field to the rock of the traits, the finger was not easy at all, since there the snow pushed even above the knee.

All coming to the rocks were awarded an excellent view of the snow-covered mountains. All the same wind did not give out relaxing at open observations and after 10 minutes we went on the way back the same expensive. The trail before Tetis was ready, and before Cableway It became even wider, as new people stretched to the dub in the rope park.
