Zei gorge
Description:
The tour to Tsei begins in Pyatigorsk, the route passes through Nalchik, then passes two relatively large cities of North Ossetia Ardon and Alagir. From the city of Alagira begins the military-Ossetian road, which runs mainly along the Ardon gorge. At the beginning of the gorge, a large number of healing springs, mainly hydrogen sulfide. Where the slopes for the first time come close to the road, Uastirji flies from the rock on his horse - the patron saint of soldiers and travelers, George the heavenly.
The road and numerous tunnels and bridges are in excellent condition. In the village of Mizur, for example, a noise protection wall with a height of 7-8 meters was built so that cars and the river did not interfere with a quiet rest. In the Tsey gorge there is one of the most famous historical monuments in North Ossetia - the sanctuary of the River. The sanctuary has recently been restored and looks very well maintained. The complex consists of a male female sanctuary located at a short distance from each other, as well as several objects of religious purpose. Holy place, sacred place. Not everyone will be allowed, not everyone will be allowed. In the old sanctuary, which burned down a few years ago, kept the armor and helmet of Os-Bagatar – Alan king of the Golden Horde. From the clearing, where the main structures are located, a good view of the Skazsky glacier opens.
