Khadyzhensk city, Krasnodar region: reviews of those who moved to permanent residence

The Krasnodar region is famous not only for its sea; Khadyzhensk, for example, is known for its balneological resort significance. Tourists come here not only to relax, but also to improve their health. A warm temperate climate, mineral waters, lots of greenery, beautiful mountains and developed infrastructure make this southern city of Kuban an ideal choice for a great vacation.

In outline

Despite this, as old-timers say, the city has always been lively and cheerful, bright and flourishing.

The large Adyghe village of Khatukaevites “Khydyzhyy” (Khadyzhi) in 1864 was renamed the village of Khadyzhenskaya. Kuban Cossacks lived here, who came from ruined steppe villages and villages, immigrants from the Don, the Urals and Ukraine. At the very beginning of the last century, mineral healing springs and oil deposits were discovered near the village. The extraction and processing of “black gold” began to develop especially quickly. This led to rapid population growth. And by the beginning of 1950, by decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the village was given the status of an urban settlement.

FLAWING OLD ARCHIVES...

Numerous items from the Absheron Local History Museum tell about the city’s past. On the stands: spearheads, arrows, hatchets of ancient warriors, damask daggers - evidence of the presence here in different eras of the Scythians and Alans, Huns and Greeks, conquerors of the Caucasus.

Khatukaevtsy

were the indigenous inhabitants of these places. For many years they led a semi-sedentary, semi-nomadic lifestyle here. They were excellent riders. Horse breeding, along with meat and dairy cattle breeding, was their main branch of the economy.

At the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, the Khatukaevites switched to a more sedentary lifestyle and began clearing forests and cultivating the land. National jewelry, dishes, household items, and agricultural tools found by townspeople date back to this time.

In 1930, a group of Komsomol members were digging a trench under the foundation of a building and came across pieces of rusted chain mail. They began to dig further into the ground and found clay jugs with ancient coins and ritual decorations.

Schoolchildren found arrowheads and spearheads near the Sopnev Kurgan. In different places, ancient sickles and hoes were dug up in the ground. Cannonballs and lead bullets were collected from the ruins of the Circassian fortress. And in the forest, in a deep gorge, the bones of a mammoth and bison were discovered.

"IN 1864

year, near the fortification of Khadyzhi, by the will of the Sovereign Emperor Alexander II, the village of Khadyzhenskaya was inhabited.

Before settling in the said place, our ancestors had to endure a lot of various hardships and misfortunes. It was necessary to bear on our heroic shoulders the entire burden of the Caucasian War, which lasted more than 60 years. The restless, semi-wild peoples of the Caucasus, known collectively as “Asians,” have haunted the southern region of Russia since ancient times with their daring robberies and robberies. Russian emperors always tried to calm them down, to live in peace with them, they repeatedly concluded peace treaties and various agreements with them, but they never fulfilled them. The Russian government, at the behest of its sovereigns, after long patience, applied punitive measures to them, which the Asians, despite their steadfastness and courage, could not bear and moved further and further into the depths of impenetrable forests and inaccessible mountains. The Russians followed them step by step. This is how the Chechens talk about it in their song:

We are in the forests, we are in the mountains, the Russian Tsar is behind us. They cut us, they cut us down. They stab with bayonets... (Translation)

... All that remained was to hurry with the settlement of new lands by Russian people, so that the mountaineers would not allow the thought of returning their lost possessions. In order for the settlement and calming of the region to proceed more successfully, the government ordered the immediate settlement of the conquered lands with hunters or by lot with Cossacks from the Black Sea region, Cossacks of other troops, peasants from the internal provinces of Russia and married lower ranks of the regular troops serving from the Caucasus.[2]

The government began to fulfill this task in 1861 and continued until 1864. In 1863, the appointed 6th ataman of the Kuban Cossack army, Sumarokov-Elston, invited willing hunters to voluntarily occupy the lands lying beyond the Kuban to the Pshisha River. The hunters were asked, on the basis of the Committee’s regulations on the settlement of the foothills of the western part of the Caucasus Range, approved by the Highest on May 10, 1862, to take up to 10 acres of land into hereditary ownership and, in addition, to give each of them an allowance of 170 rubles. with portioned allowance for the whole family for three years. However, there were very few takers, and only the lot decided the fate of the settlers, of whom the more prosperous, not wanting to part with their homes, hired other hirers in their place. In addition to the portioned allowance, the renters also charged up to 500 rubles for agreeing to move. money.”[3]

In 1864, 54 points were designated for settlement, which included our village of Khadyzhenskaya. In March–April 1864

The military authorities began transporting settlers in trains to new lands. The village of Martenskaya was appointed as the gathering point for our village.

The time has come for us to set off on our march. The Cossacks collected all their belongings into carts, sat their children next to them, tied a cow to the back of the carts, prayed to God and set off on the road.[4]

The first batch of settlers, 59 families with two officers, arrived at the appointed place in early May 1864.

Thus, by 1869, 95 families arrived.

Planned places for the first settlers were cut in front of the Khadyzhi fortifications. This fortification was located on a high steep slope of the right bank of the Pshish River, at a distance of 4 versts downstream from the confluence of the Tusheps River. Due to the fortification of Khadyzhi the village was named Khadyzhenskaya.

Measures were also taken to improve the village. The regimental headquarters was transferred from the fortress to it; A district central hospital and pharmacy were founded and a doctor was appointed there.

I had to immediately get to work building my nest. The friendly work was in full swing, the Cossack hands quickly worked with an ax and a saw, as they used to do with a gun and a saber when meeting the enemy.

The commander of the 27th Cavalry Regiment of the Kuban Army, by order No. 1 of June 2, 1864, ordered the construction of houses in such an order that the houses consist of two rooms separated from each other by small vestibules. In the summer several houses were already ready.

According to statistical information, for the same year, by October 15, 96 houses were already rebuilt, 11 had begun construction and 15 were unfinished. Some of the residents wanted to quickly build turluk houses, but on July 18 of the same year, No. 000 was followed by a circular message prohibiting the erection of buildings from turluk, “but they must build only logs.”

Pears, apple trees, bushes: dogwood, cherry plum, sloe - all this provided great help in the Cossack’s budget. The fruits, both raw and dried, were also exported to the steppe villages and were mostly exchanged for grain bread.

There were many wild boars, goats, deer, bears, martens, foxes, wolves and other animals in the forests. There were so many of them that as soon as a Cossack with a gun went half a mile outside the village, the beast itself came into the hands of the hunter. Along the edges of the forest there were many partridges and pheasants. All this game provided the Cossacks with a good meat and fur trade.

There were many different fish in the rivers, for example: catfish, carp (carp), smut, shamai, black belly and many other small fish.

Plowing and gardening have always occupied and occupied first place among other occupations of the Cossacks, but a large amount of precipitation, as well as a quick and sharp transition from cold to heat and back, had a detrimental effect on crops.

Since the Western region of the Caucasus in 1864 was still considered to be under martial law, and there was no separate administrative department for the new villages, all newly populated villages were subordinated to the authority of the commanders of the regiments located in the nearest area. The village of Khadyzhenskaya was subordinated to the commander of the 27th cavalry regiment of the 4th brigade of the Linear army, Lieutenant Colonel Stepura Serdyukov

.

The second important person in settling the settlers was the head of the village. This person was entrusted with enormous responsibilities. He had to monitor the implementation of all orders and instructions from his superiors, forestry, public services, and sanitary supervision. Such an honorary post was entrusted to Captain Ivan Stepanovich Kosyakin

.

Climatic features

The Krasnodar region is considered one of the warmest regions of Russia. Residents of the middle zone who come for permanent residence in Khadyzhensk especially appreciate this.

The climatic conditions of the city are influenced by the geographical location. The city of Khadyzhensk (Krasnodar Territory) is located in the foothills of the North Caucasus, on its western side, in the valley of the Pshish and Khadazhka rivers, and is surrounded by a huge forest area. During a drought, the shelter is ten centimeters deep. During rainstorms, the river level rises several meters. The water is almost always at a comfortable temperature.

Summer temperatures do not rise above 24-27 °C. Winter here is mild, there are practically no big minuses (-5...-2 °C). The warm period lasts from early April to mid-November. Winter is short, only 65-70 days. Snow rarely lasts longer than two days.

Alpine meadows, valleys and mountains

The unique beauty of these places is mesmerizing. The mountains here are still small, stunningly vast valleys of lowland rivers, fast mountain streams carrying huge boulders, and as far as the eye can see - forests with centuries-old pines, firs and yews.

The forest approaches the very borders of the city, and its paths rise into the mountains, revealing the mesmerizing delights of alpine meadows. The forest in the valleys consists of ash, linden, hornbeam, maple, oak, wild jasmine, Caucasian rhododendron, hazel (hazel). The forest in the foothills is made up of tall beeches. There is no undergrowth here, but only dry leaves and branches, half-rotten trees littered with winds. The beech forest (huge trunks and branches intertwined at the top) is an eerie silence, dampness and twilight.

The southern slopes of the mountains are home to centuries-old pear, apple, chestnut and wild grape trees. By the way, the chestnut in the foothill forests of Khadyzhensk differs from the Black Sea one in taste and size. And its wood is used in numerous woodworking workshops to make beautiful and durable furniture.

Naturally, the city of Khadyzhensk (Krasnodar Territory) itself is surrounded by greenery, the air is filled with freshness and the aromas of flowers. Breathe here freely and easily: there are many oak and beech alleys in the absence of industrial enterprises and a large number of cars. The city has cozy thickets of boxwood, yew, pine and huge meadows of Crimean roses. By the way, she is not only beautiful. Decoctions and infusions of its petals have healing powers.

No special reasons needed

There are not many healing mineral springs, entertainment, but they exist, monuments and historically important places attract people here not only as tourists, but also as future residents of the city.

In 1953, another attempt was made to explore for oil along the southern border of the city. Instead of the expected oil, a mineral water source began to flow from a well more than 500 m deep. From this period, Khadyzhensk became known as a balneological hospital. The water turned out to contain a uniquely high percentage of iodine - more than 0.400 g/l and bromine - 0.087 g/l. Alkaline sodium chloride water with the natural addition of iodine and bromine is used for drinking treatment.

And sodium bicarbonate-chloride water containing bromine and iodine, scientifically recognized as drinking water, is mineralized and bottled under the trademark “Khadyzhenskaya”.

There are several children's health camps, health centers and sanatoriums in the city. On Krasnoarmeyskaya Street there are two mineral springs for public use. One of them is located in a gazebo with benches. Anyone entering here is greeted by an inscription that can be read in the photo below.

The city of Khadyzhensk (Krasnodar Territory) is called healing by reviews from those who moved here. New residents of the city write that all sorts of ailments were cured, and peace and tranquility appeared in their souls.

A few kilometers from Khadyzhensk a so-called “people's sanatorium” was formed. Treatment consists of taking barrel baths. Iodine-bromine water comes out of the ground. Recent research proves its uniqueness. Khadyzhans also take pride in the unique blue clay that can be collected along the banks of the Khadazhka River. In appearance, it looks like small pebbles of gray-green or gray-blue color.

Rest for the soul

Khadyzhensk (Krasnodar Territory), reviews of those who moved to permanent residence define this very accurately, it has many advantages. It is located in a mountain bowl. The city's borders are centuries-old beech and oak forests. Generous nature also took care of tourists. What is Belaya Krucha worth! These are indescribably beautiful cliffs of ancient white stone surrounded by virgin forest. Or the Guam Gorge. Here, through the narrow, breathtaking mountain (sometimes very narrow) gorges, you can ride a trolley, if you have the courage. And Mount Gaiman, which looks like the back of a dinosaur that they want to lasso, also attracts tourists.

And more recently, in the forests surrounding Khadyzhensk, mysterious inscriptions were discovered on bare areas of rocks. As it turned out, there are no analogues in the world. And there are so many caves around the city, and rocks, and waterfalls!

And if you drive a little away from the city, you can explore the Lago-Naki plateau and Mount Fisht. It’s better to see the city of Khadyzhensk in the Krasnodar Territory for yourself. Photos do not convey even part of the sensations that fill the soul.

The Regional Council for Sports and Tourism has created a base in the city that is developing routes for excursions and hikes to memorable and historical places in the region. One of the popular ones begins in Khadyzhensk and six days later leads travelers to the resort town of Ashe. 77 picturesque kilometers introduce tourists not only to the flora and fauna, but also to the historical value of these places.

Khadyzhensk attractions photo

The city is intended for a relaxing holiday or treatment for various diseases. There are no significant attractions on the territory of Khadyzhensk. But this does not mean that lovers of adventure and active recreation will be bored. If you want to see natural or architectural monuments and have fun, then you should choose one of the excursions in the region.

Buying a tour or cooperating with other tourists will not be difficult. So, what can you see while relaxing in Khadyzhensk?

Kaverzinsky waterfall photo

You can see this attraction by driving 46 kilometers. When you're on vacation, distance means nothing compared to the experiences you can get. The waterfall is located on the Tambov Shchel stream and falls from a height of 12 meters.

It's certainly not Niagara Falls, but if you've never seen a waterfall in the real world, it's an impressive sight. You can get to the attraction by following the Goryachiy Klyuch and Don highway. You only need to drive along it for 5 kilometers.

If you team up with other tourists, you can take a taxi. The car will take you there and take you back. You can also take a bus if you want to explore the surrounding area.

In addition to the Kaverzinsky waterfall itself, there are other smaller waterfalls. One of them falls from a height of 2 meters, the second - from 6 meters. A convenient staircase leads to the Kaverzinsky waterfall right next to the water. If you climb it, you can see the surroundings from above, admire nature and explore the University Cave, which is located nearby. You will bring back a lot of photos and a good mood from the excursion.

Mount Fisht photo

One of the places where you can experience vivid emotions while riding a helicopter. Getting to the attraction from Khadyzhensk is about 60 kilometers, but it’s worth it.

Climbing the mountain is quite difficult, and if there is no physical fitness and desire to test yourself, then a helicopter ride will be relevant. Naturally, going up on horseback or on foot will be more interesting and cheaper.

Here you will meet people, have a nice walk, look at the surroundings from observation platforms, and take bright photographs. There are numerous grottoes and caves on Mount Fisht. When you're lucky with the weather, you can see the Soaring Bird, White Star, Cross Tourist and other grottoes.

Moreover, you will encounter underground rivers, waterfalls, and inaccessible rocks. Such adventures broaden your horizons, excite your consciousness and fill you with joy. Despite the distance and time spent on the road, it’s definitely worth going here.

Mount Chugush photo

Another natural attraction that will delight adventure lovers. Translated into Russian, the name of the mountain means Top of the Earth. Indeed, the peak of the mountain goes far into the sky; the height here is more than 3200 meters above the sea line.

But it’s not even the height that is considered dangerous. On the territory of the mountain there are about 10 glaciers, inaccessible rocks that attract travelers. The trek feels like climbing Everest, only it’s cheaper and much safer.

The adventure will require preparation, so it would be a good idea to take a couple of rock climbing and mountaineering lessons. The instructors will tell you how to behave in the mountains and give you the basic skills you will need.

Climbing the mountain is done only with a guide and equipment. Some sections on the way to the top will have to be passed with a rope and equipment. You will go around a stone ledge, which climbers among themselves call the gendarme.

The trip will give you more impressions than the sea. In ordinary life, few people manage to relax so brightly, so you need to take everything you can from your vacation. When getting to the ascent point, focus on the village of Krasnaya Polyana.

This is where real adventure and adrenaline begin. The hike is not suitable for couples with children and people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system. The climb requires physical fitness and endurance and is classified as difficulty level 1B.

Mount Bolshaya Chura photo

You can get to the ascent site from Krasnaya Polyana. If we talk about the distance, then from Khadyzhensk it is about 80 kilometers. Mount Bolshaya Chura can be seen far away; its height is about 2500 meters above sea level. It is covered with haze and glaciers.

On one side the mountain is rocky and steep, on the other there is a gentle slope along which you can climb up. It is full of vegetation and trees. Most often you can find subalpine plant species here.

Climbing the mountain is done with a guide and equipment. The excursion will be remembered for a long time as a bright adventure.

Vorontsov caves photo

The attraction is located 96 kilometers from the city. It is worth setting aside 1-2 days to examine it. They say that ancient people lived in these meshcheras; traces of their life remain to this day.

Now groups of tourists come here. It is best to go here with a guide or guide. The total length of the caves is about 12 kilometers, Vorontsovskaya Cave occupies 4 kilometers.

There are comfortable stairs with railings and passages. The dungeon is quite cool, so it is recommended to wear warm and loose clothing and stock up on flashlights. If you are tired of walking, beaches and shopping, then a trip to the cave will be an interesting leisure activity.

Other entertainment

On the issue of real estate

Reviews about Khadyzhensk, Krasnodar Territory, are quite common on local real estate websites. Its market in the city is actively developing. The number of people who want to breathe with full lungs and drink medicinal water instead of store-bought or rusty water from the tap is growing from year to year. More and more residents of unfavorable regions are making the right decision to buy a house or apartment in Khadyzhensk. Real estate agency websites offer a variety of housing options: from renting to purchasing. Depending on the square meters and area, the price can vary from hundreds of thousands to a million.

You can find a suitable hotel room in any of the agencies. We offer both economy class and luxury apartments. The rooms are designed for 2-4 people. Meals are paid separately. There is a guarded parking lot.

If there is a need for permanent housing, you can consider options for comfortable large apartments in two-story houses in the southwestern region of Khadyzhensk. People call it the Lukoil area. The Sotsgorod area is beautiful, but for some reason it is not popular. New townspeople prefer to buy houses in mountainous areas: st. Eastern, st. Khrebtova, etc.

Real estate prices in Khadyzhensk, Krasnodar Territory, are significantly lower than the regional average.

Real estate agency specialists have many years of experience and a huge amount of groundwork, so they can easily select suitable housing.

Buying a property

In this small, mostly one-story town, a potential resident can buy a house or apartment. You can even buy a standard one-room apartment here for 400-500 thousand rubles. Private houses have equally unique affordability in terms of price.

They can be located directly within the city limits. You can find a decent option for moving at a cost of 300,000 rubles. True, for such a price you will need to take into account the potential lack of modern communications.

In this city you can also rent an apartment or a house. The cost of such an offer starts from 7 thousand rubles per month. Many residential properties are offered for rent both daily and long-term. Residents of the Russian Federation will only need to obtain temporary registration at their new place of residence.

Offers to purchase a private house in a resort town are more often the choice of those who plan to become the owner of a “distant” dacha. Moreover, the prices for such purchases turn out to be attractive and profitable.

This is convenient for those who prefer to move to other parts of the country for wages. And also in the Krasnodar region there live a large number of people who can work in the virtual space.

Buying real estate here is beneficial for those who plan to receive income from renting out housing during the holiday season. Often such owners come to the Krasnodar region quite rarely. Although this locality, if there is a permanent source of income, is also convenient for permanent residence.

Post Scriptum

Modern Khadyzhensk is the second city in the region after Apsheronsk. The population of Khadyzhensk, Krasnodar Territory, continues to work at various enterprises in the city, including the famous Khadyzhensky Machine-Building Plant. For many years, the plant has been producing equipment for gas and oil production industries.

The Cossack school, deservedly the best in the region, instills in children a love for their native land through the study of the culture and customs of their ancestors, who heroically developed and defended their native land.

The Mineralny sanatorium continues its health-improving work. Comfort and services here are equal to European ones.

Reviews from those who moved to the city of Khadyzhensk (Krasnodar Territory) (2015) are better than any advertisement.

Introduction

“If a person does not like to look at least occasionally at old photographs of his parents, does not appreciate the memory of them left in the garden that they cultivated, in the things that belonged to them, then he does not love them.

If a person does not love old houses, old streets, even poor ones, then he has no love for his city.

If a person is indifferent to the historical monuments of his country, then he is indifferent to his country.”
