Mechoko Gorge
Description:
The picturesque gorge of Meshoko is located along the highway to Lagonaki in a 10-15-minute walk from the southern outskirts of the village of Kamennomostsky. Its name is translated from the Circassian language as "Bear Valley". The path to Meshoko Gorge originates from an abandoned limestone quarry. This place is popular among tourists due to the burial mounds of the Kasoga and Zikh periods located here, carefully protecting the secrets of these peoples.
The beauty of the Meshoko gorge is multifaceted, each time new features are opened to the traveler - beautiful grottoes and waterfalls. Walking up the river, you will get to three waterfalls, after which the gorge cuts a mountain-wooded massif, where many giant stones and rocks are located, acquiring interesting forms due to strong wind gusts. On both sides, the gorge is surrounded by grottoes once inhabited by people. Here tourists often find bone products, as well as ancient tools and remains of fires. The route along the gorge will be interesting for climbers and climbers, tourists and archaeologists, as well as photographers and artists.
