Park "Berendeevo Kingdom"
Before reaching Mamedova Shchel, guests of Lazarevsky will be able to try out a 3 km long tourist route. This place is called the Berendeevo Kingdom park. On the way, visitors will encounter waterfalls of incredible beauty: “Berendey’s Beard”, “Cup of Love”, “Tears of the Snow Maiden”, “Nameless”, “Emerald” and “Kupava”. In the reserve you can also see unique megaliths and dolmens, a medieval Shapsug cemetery and two natural bowls with crystal clear water. Fairy-tale figures and buildings are located throughout the park.
Crab Gorge
Crab Gorge is a stream that flows from a height of half a kilometer between two rocks. It is part of the Sochi National Park, so this place is great if a traveler does not know where to go in Lazarevskoye. The gorge is located far from civilization, so beech trees, hornbeams and chestnut trees have grown here, and rare species of animals live here. The place received an interesting name for the large number of gray crabs that hide in the clear water of the stream. It is difficult to see them because they are afraid of noise. On the “Bridge of Wishes” you can tie a bright ribbon, wishing for whatever your heart desires.
Natural attractions
Lazarevskoye is rich in natural attractions. Most of them are located in the suburbs or in the immediate vicinity. These are gorges and waterfalls. There are also interesting hiking routes in the national park.
"Berendey's Kingdom"
This is the name of the tourist walking route in the Sochi National Park. It got its name from Ostrovsky’s fairy tale “The Snow Maiden”. Man-made objects on the territory represent the acting heroes of the fairy tale. The length of the route is about 3 km.
The path to the “Berendey Kingdom” is laid along a gorge along a stream with clear water. Along the route you can admire waterfalls, forest paths, and wooden figures of characters from the fairy tale “The Snow Maiden.” This is Tsar Berendey, the carefree shepherd Lel, the merchant Mizgir, the Snow Maiden’s friend Kupava and, of course, the main character of the fairy tale - the daughter of Frost and Spring.
Children enter the park free of charge; adults are charged an environmental fee of 200 rubles.
Mamedovo Gorge
The natural attraction is located near the Berendey kingdom - in the valley of the Kuapse River. The route runs along the bottom of the canyon, above which snow-white limestone mountains rise. It is convenient to visit these two attractions in one day.
The flora of the canyon is represented by more than 120 species of plants, many of which are listed in the Red Book. A little higher there is a waterfall of three cascades. Local residents claim that the water in it has healing powers.
It is not recommended to visit the Mamedovo Gorge in rainy weather or immediately after heavy downpours - at this time it becomes slippery and unsafe.
33 waterfalls
From Lazarevskoye you can go on an excursion to the waterfalls on the Dzhegosh river near the village of Golovinka. They look best in high water - in spring and autumn. The waterfalls are located approximately 30 kilometers from the southern outskirts of the village.
The height of the cascades varies and ranges from 1.5 to 17 meters. Tourists can visit 17 of them - the rest are in unsafe places. Those who wish can even take a swim.
If you are planning to visit the waterfalls on your own, it is better to do it before 12.00, since organized excursions will start arriving in the afternoon and the waterfalls will be too crowded.
Tulip tree
Another attraction nearby is Lazarevsky, which is located in the village of Golovinka. A plant from the magnolia family got its name due to the unusual shape of its flowers, reminiscent of tulips.
The tree is impressive in its size: it reaches a height of 35 meters, and the diameter of the trunk is almost two. The tulip tree blooms in late May - early June. It is believed that it was planted in 1840 by General Nikolai Raevsky, who was fond of growing exotic plants.
There are many different beliefs and legends associated with the tree, which local residents will be happy to tell you about.
Crab Gorge
This unique natural attraction is located in the suburbs, in the northern part of the village. Many millions of years ago it was part of the world's oceans. Limestone layers were formed from crushed shells of mollusks, and the flow of water that eroded them formed a gorge.
You can get here along two hiking trails: one is less difficult, the second includes ascents and descents, but your efforts will be rewarded with stunning views.
Along the way, tourists pass the Bridge of Wishes, where it is recommended to tie a ribbon. The place has a unique energy, so your wish will certainly come true.
Miracle beauty
This name was given to one of the waterfalls of the Sochi National Park. Its origin is connected with the Chudo-Krasovka farm, which was led by Afanasy Solyanik-Krasa. After the revolution, the lands were nationalized, and the name of the river gradually changed.
The area is known for its clean waters, healing mountain air, rich flora and unusual wildlife, such as huge dragonflies.
The entrance fee is symbolic - only 200 rubles. The fee is charged to maintain the reserve in good condition.
Svir Gorge
It is located on the territory of a national park - on the small but powerful Svirka River. Since direct sunlight does not reach the depth of the gorge, even on hot days the water temperature here does not exceed 15 degrees.
This area is popular among those who enjoy hiking in remote areas. Despite the tourist route and signs, the road is really difficult in some places - you have to overcome ups and downs.
The main attractions of the gorge: Svirsky, “Adam and Eve”, “Mother-in-Law’s Tears” waterfalls. There are also many beautiful places where you can have a picnic.
Lazarevsky Ethnographic Museum
A century and a half ago, on the site of Lazarevsky there was a completely different country - Circassia. The Adygs-Shapsugs lived here. The ethnographic museum is dedicated to their life. The two-story mansion of the merchant Popandopulo with unusual architecture is divided into 4 halls. The exhibition includes more than 1,000 different antiques. In a separate room there are exhibits from the last century that tell how the history of Lazarevsky has changed over the last century. The course of history is helped to understand the photographs and archival documents placed in frames on the walls of the museum. Anyone can attend lectures on religion, mythology, cultural studies and historical background of these places.
Mamedovo Gorge
The gorge is famous for its four waterfalls, which are connected to a forest lake and the White Hall gorge. Length about 7 km. The landscape of these places includes limestone cornices, natural arches, tunnels and strangely shaped intrusions. Local residents say that the waters of the Mamedov Gorge have healing powers: they restore youth, treat infertility and relieve serious illnesses. A beautiful canyon opens up to people’s eyes, the rocks of which meet somewhere overhead. The sheer cliffs, called "Stone Gates", are completely covered with ivy and thick moss. The “Mamed Bath” collects blue water, which, although cold, is very attractive for those who like to dive.
Svir Gorge
The valley of the Svir Gorge is famous for its abundance of rocks and rocks, clean air and rich vegetation. The road to the natural attraction runs along the river; in some places you will have to wade. Through the dense thickets and high rocks, almost no sunlight reaches here, so the place is shrouded in mysterious twilight. The water temperature does not rise above 15 degrees. However, during the peak holiday season there are always plenty of people willing to take a dip. In the Svir Gorge, tourists will enjoy the beauty of the waterfalls, the Moonstone and the Slava dolmen. Among the silence of the rocks you can always hear the singing of wild birds. You should end your visit to the attraction in a picnic clearing equipped with tables, benches and barbecues.

Railway station "Lazarevskaya"
If you come to Lazarevskoye by train, do not rush to rush into the whirlpool of resort worries and entertainment from the first minutes. Stop and look at the station. The elegant white stone building with a blue roof was built in 1951.

Lightness, airiness, but at the same time monumentality and even pomp - all this decorates the railway station and makes it the first attraction of the city. The symmetrical porticoes with columns, flower beds with exotic plants and the elegant balustrade separating the station from the city look especially beautiful.

Monument to M.P. Lazarev
What do the Sochi microdistrict and Antarctica have in common? They are united by the activities of a unique person - Admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev. It was he who, in 1820, together with Thaddeus Bellingshausen, approached Antarctica for the first time in history and discovered a new part of the world.
19 years passed, and in 1839 a fleet under the command of Admiral Lazarev landed on the shore. Difficult relations with the Ottoman Empire required additional protection, and the emperor decided to build the Black Sea coastline. One of its fortifications was Fort Lazarev. During the Crimean War, the fort was destroyed, then the village of Lazarevka appeared here. Surprisingly, the village was not affected by the Soviet passion for renaming, and it still bears the name of the talented Tsarist admiral, whose biography is worthy of the attention and admiration of descendants.
By the way, on the street. Enthusiasts in the area of the 1st City Hospital can find the remains of that very fort built by Lazarev.

Lazarevsky Ethnographic Museum
And again, a short excursion into history. In 1869, the territory of Lazarevsky had been empty for 15 years. It was chosen by Greek settlers. Forty-three families appreciated the fertile climate and beauty of these places and began to build their homes here.
One of them was the Greek Popandopoulo. The merchant was engaged in the wine trade and gradually his family became rich. At the beginning of the 20th century, a merchant dynasty built itself a solid, cozy and beautiful house. There was a wine cellar in the basement, the lower floor was reserved for a shop, and the second floor housed living quarters.
By the way, you might be interested in learning more about winemaking in southern Russia.
The Popandopoulo family did not enjoy life in their home for long. The revolution broke out, and the building became the property of the state. Already in 1920, a school opened here, and only in 1986 the mansion was transferred to the museum. The restoration and creation of exhibitions took four years; in May 1990, the first visitors entered the museum.
The educational tour will not take much time - there are only four halls. The first collection consists of artifacts dating back up to 5,000 years. The second exhibition tells about the migration era, and the third about the history of the 20th century.

A ticket for an adult costs 100 rubles, for schoolchildren and students - 50 rubles.

Ancient books, icons, liturgical objects and priestly vestments will allow you to learn more about the history of Orthodoxy.
The temple itself also deserves attention. Like many thousands of religious buildings, the church was closed in 1936, all the icons were lost in the fire, and the building was transferred to an art museum. After the start of the Great Patriotic War, a radio center was placed in the church, and only in the 50s services were resumed here.
Today, in addition to the museum, the complex includes a Sunday school, a library, a refectory and a bell tower.

Volkonsky dolmen
Volkonsky Dolmen
Let's leave our dynamic and controversial 20th century for a short time and move back five thousand years. During the Bronze Age, our distant ancestors built special burial structures - dolmens.
The uniqueness of the Volkonsky dolmen is that it is the only surviving structure in the world that was built in an interesting way - in the rock from which softer rock was hollowed out. All work was carried out through a round hole. Just imagine how much work it cost the ancient builders, who did not have the appropriate tools.
Address:
Volkonka village. Near the railway station you need to take bus No. 155, 158, 166, 170, 182. Get to the Glinnische stop. There is a large sign there that will show the way to the dolmen.
