Where to go in Lazarevskoye: 11 best places

Park "Berendeevo Kingdom"

Before reaching Mamedova Shchel, guests of Lazarevsky will be able to try out a 3 km long tourist route. This place is called the Berendeevo Kingdom park. On the way, visitors will encounter waterfalls of incredible beauty: “Berendey’s Beard”, “Cup of Love”, “Tears of the Snow Maiden”, “Nameless”, “Emerald” and “Kupava”. In the reserve you can also see unique megaliths and dolmens, a medieval Shapsug cemetery and two natural bowls with crystal clear water. Fairy-tale figures and buildings are located throughout the park.

Crab Gorge

Crab Gorge is a stream that flows from a height of half a kilometer between two rocks. It is part of the Sochi National Park, so this place is great if a traveler does not know where to go in Lazarevskoye. The gorge is located far from civilization, so beech trees, hornbeams and chestnut trees have grown here, and rare species of animals live here. The place received an interesting name for the large number of gray crabs that hide in the clear water of the stream. It is difficult to see them because they are afraid of noise. On the “Bridge of Wishes” you can tie a bright ribbon, wishing for whatever your heart desires.

Natural attractions

Lazarevskoye is rich in natural attractions. Most of them are located in the suburbs or in the immediate vicinity. These are gorges and waterfalls. There are also interesting hiking routes in the national park.

"Berendey's Kingdom"

This is the name of the tourist walking route in the Sochi National Park. It got its name from Ostrovsky’s fairy tale “The Snow Maiden”. Man-made objects on the territory represent the acting heroes of the fairy tale. The length of the route is about 3 km.

The path to the “Berendey Kingdom” is laid along a gorge along a stream with clear water. Along the route you can admire waterfalls, forest paths, and wooden figures of characters from the fairy tale “The Snow Maiden.” This is Tsar Berendey, the carefree shepherd Lel, the merchant Mizgir, the Snow Maiden’s friend Kupava and, of course, the main character of the fairy tale - the daughter of Frost and Spring.

Children enter the park free of charge; adults are charged an environmental fee of 200 rubles.

Mamedovo Gorge

The natural attraction is located near the Berendey kingdom - in the valley of the Kuapse River. The route runs along the bottom of the canyon, above which snow-white limestone mountains rise. It is convenient to visit these two attractions in one day.

The flora of the canyon is represented by more than 120 species of plants, many of which are listed in the Red Book. A little higher there is a waterfall of three cascades. Local residents claim that the water in it has healing powers.

It is not recommended to visit the Mamedovo Gorge in rainy weather or immediately after heavy downpours - at this time it becomes slippery and unsafe.

33 waterfalls

From Lazarevskoye you can go on an excursion to the waterfalls on the Dzhegosh river near the village of Golovinka. They look best in high water - in spring and autumn. The waterfalls are located approximately 30 kilometers from the southern outskirts of the village.

The height of the cascades varies and ranges from 1.5 to 17 meters. Tourists can visit 17 of them - the rest are in unsafe places. Those who wish can even take a swim.

If you are planning to visit the waterfalls on your own, it is better to do it before 12.00, since organized excursions will start arriving in the afternoon and the waterfalls will be too crowded.

Tulip tree

Another attraction nearby is Lazarevsky, which is located in the village of Golovinka. A plant from the magnolia family got its name due to the unusual shape of its flowers, reminiscent of tulips.

The tree is impressive in its size: it reaches a height of 35 meters, and the diameter of the trunk is almost two. The tulip tree blooms in late May - early June. It is believed that it was planted in 1840 by General Nikolai Raevsky, who was fond of growing exotic plants.

There are many different beliefs and legends associated with the tree, which local residents will be happy to tell you about.

Crab Gorge

This unique natural attraction is located in the suburbs, in the northern part of the village. Many millions of years ago it was part of the world's oceans. Limestone layers were formed from crushed shells of mollusks, and the flow of water that eroded them formed a gorge.

You can get here along two hiking trails: one is less difficult, the second includes ascents and descents, but your efforts will be rewarded with stunning views.

Along the way, tourists pass the Bridge of Wishes, where it is recommended to tie a ribbon. The place has a unique energy, so your wish will certainly come true.

Miracle beauty

This name was given to one of the waterfalls of the Sochi National Park. Its origin is connected with the Chudo-Krasovka farm, which was led by Afanasy Solyanik-Krasa. After the revolution, the lands were nationalized, and the name of the river gradually changed.

The area is known for its clean waters, healing mountain air, rich flora and unusual wildlife, such as huge dragonflies.

The entrance fee is symbolic - only 200 rubles. The fee is charged to maintain the reserve in good condition.

Svir Gorge

It is located on the territory of a national park - on the small but powerful Svirka River. Since direct sunlight does not reach the depth of the gorge, even on hot days the water temperature here does not exceed 15 degrees.

This area is popular among those who enjoy hiking in remote areas. Despite the tourist route and signs, the road is really difficult in some places - you have to overcome ups and downs.

The main attractions of the gorge: Svirsky, “Adam and Eve”, “Mother-in-Law’s Tears” waterfalls. There are also many beautiful places where you can have a picnic.

Lazarevsky Ethnographic Museum

A century and a half ago, on the site of Lazarevsky there was a completely different country - Circassia. The Adygs-Shapsugs lived here. The ethnographic museum is dedicated to their life. The two-story mansion of the merchant Popandopulo with unusual architecture is divided into 4 halls. The exhibition includes more than 1,000 different antiques. In a separate room there are exhibits from the last century that tell how the history of Lazarevsky has changed over the last century. The course of history is helped to understand the photographs and archival documents placed in frames on the walls of the museum. Anyone can attend lectures on religion, mythology, cultural studies and historical background of these places.

Be sure to pack a first aid kit for your vacation and don’t forget your compulsory medical insurance policy. Young children should definitely be vaccinated against rotavirus.

In order not to catch an intestinal infection on the Black Sea (or indeed on any sea, even abroad), you need to follow basic hygiene rules:

Do not swallow sea water.
Wash fruits, vegetables and hands thoroughly before eating. Wash with running or bottled water, not in the sea!
Drink bottled or boiled water.
Don't buy food from street vendors.
Do not take perishable food to the beach.
If you cook yourself, pay attention to hygiene and cook and fry the food well.
Make sure that your child does not put stones, sand, soil or dirty hands into his mouth.
