Mount Autl
Sochi, Krasnodar Territory, Russia.
Description:
Not the most visited of the tourist places. Mount Autl (height 1855.4 m) is located in such a way that it is difficult to get to it - bad trails and difficult terrain make it difficult to access. In addition, Outl is located on the territory of the Caucasian Reserve, which makes it even more difficult to visit.
The rocky peak with alpine meadows and the remains of a crashed aircraft during the Great Patriotic War is surrounded by ridges covered with forest - from a distance it looks like a huge black mountain. It offers a beautiful view of the sea and the port of Sochi, as well as the ridges of the Western Caucasus. Three of the four sides of the summit are sheer cliffs. The Star Range, located very close, has exits of mountain crystal, not far and two canyons with cascades of waterfalls. At the source of the river Khakuch on the mountain, next to the hospital, there is an open-air museum, and on the spur - the ruins of the Circassian village.
By car you can reach the river Psezuapse, then - walking part of the route.
