Mechoko Gorge

Meshoko gorge, stretching along the eponymous stream, is located south of the village of Kamennomostsky in Adygea. Like many other channels of small rivers flowing into the White, the gorge deserves the attention of tourists with picturesque waterfalls and many grottoes in its rock walls.

First, the trail will lead you to a huge grotto in which primitive people once lived. The Meshoko Valley is replete with archaeological finds of the time. Then, having passed a small spring with clean water, you will get to the observation deck from which a beautiful view of the whole gorge opens.

From here you will go down to the canyon itself, to the first of a series of waterfalls. This waterfall is the highest and most powerful in the gorge. Behind it you will see a cascade of small, but no less beautiful waterfalls. The waterfall Gorka deserves mention - local children like to swim in the bowl at its foot.

Along the canyon you can see many easily accessible small caves and grottoes. It is said that in some of them traces of the presence of primitive man can be found.

A walk along the gorge takes no more than four hours and does not require special physical training.
