The gorge is created by high sheer cliffs, sometimes converging to a corridor 2 m wide. Bizarre tree trunks, icy boulders and frozen waterfalls complement this incredible mountain world.

What to see in the vicinity of Krasnodar

If you don't have enough attractions in the city itself, you can visit the outskirts of Krasnodar. We recommend visiting such places as the Krasnodar dolmens, Kaverzinsky waterfalls, Dantovo Gorge, Wolf Gate Gorge, Cat Cave, Bogatyrsky Caves. You can also hike through the Sober Bash and Shize mountains, as well as walk along the Lotus Lake.

Krasnodar dolmens

You can go to this place either with a tour or on your own. Krasnodar dolmens have incredible energy, but all people here have different sensations. For many, these places are places of power, where all desires come true and answers to questions come.

Krasnodar dolmens are a great place to be alone with yourself, immerse yourself in your sensations, feelings and thoughts.

Dante's Gorge

Dante's Gorge is another very unusual but popular place in the vicinity of Krasnodar. Its length is approximately 100 meters. This gorge received this name in honor of the Italian poet and thinker Dante Alighieri, the author of The Divine Comedy, which depicts the poet’s wanderings through the afterlife.

Visiting this place feels like being transported to another world. For a moment you can forget that you are not far from the Russian city of Krasnodar. The natural beauty of the gorge is simply mesmerizing. You will definitely take away dozens of successful photographs from there.

Wolf Gate Gorge

This gorge is located in the vicinity of the Chibiy farm. It is a small gorge. This place is not very popular among hikers. However, it is perfect for a leisurely weekend walk.

Despite its unpopularity, the Wolf Gate gorge is incredibly picturesque. Its rather narrow passage may cause you a slight fear and discourage you from going further. However, the views that the gorge offers you are worth all the effort.

Mount Sober-Bash

This peak is located 100 kilometers from Krasnodar. It is very easy to spot from the highway, and in appearance it resembles a trapezoid. If the weather in the city is good, Mount Sober-Bash can be seen from the high-rise buildings of Krasnodar. Unprepared tourists can walk the route to the top and back in 5-6 hours.

This place is worth your time and effort. At the very top of the mountain you will not find picturesque and beautiful views. However, they will accompany you on your journey to Sober Bash.

Cat Cave

The Cat Cave is located on Mount Shchetka, not far from the town of Goryachiy Klyuch. There is a version of the name that concludes that before people found this cave, a forest cat lived here. Some suggest that it was a lynx that was found in these areas in the mid-20th century.

There are many legends about this cave. Their source is not only the forest cat that lived in this place. A human skull was found in the Cat Cave, which had been lying there for so long that it had grown into its wall. This place has a creepy atmosphere and is not liked by all tourists who visit it.

Lotus Lake

Lotus Lake is the most romantic place in the vicinity of Krasnodar. It is located near the village of Belozerny, very close to the highway. Lotuses were planted in this lake by a resident of the village of Belozerny, who rented this pond in 1933. Indian and Caspian lotuses have taken root in it.

This place is perfect for a romantic date. You will have a beautiful view of the green lotuses that fill almost the entire reservoir. Getting to the lake is very convenient, so you should spend a few hours of your time and visit this attraction.

Bogatyrsky caves

These are two small caves that were formed in sandstone compressed over millions of years. To this day, scientists are debating how these caves came about and what they were intended for. It is believed that they were created by man: the shape and size of the caves make scientists doubt their natural origin. They are several small rooms filled with huge amounts of dust.

Bogatyrsky caves are worth visiting with your friends or family. However, do not take children with you under any circumstances: such a place may be dangerous for them. You can take some interesting photos in the caves that will decorate your social networks.

Mount Shize

Mount Shize offers an incredible view that is worth seeing with your own eyes. Climbing the mountain is quite simple and will not take you much time. This route is suitable for tourists who have a basic level of training. The height of the mountain is 542 meters.

You should definitely get to the highest point of Mount Shize.

It is definitely worthy of your attention and effort.
