Description of the slide:
Mountain Ring Mountain Ring - a unique creation of nature. It is located on the Borgustan ridge, which consists of sandy rocks. It is a through grotto, having the shape of a ring, with a diameter of about 8 meters. In the neighborhood in the ridge, a whole family of different grottoes is blown by the winds. They were formed due to weathering processes: wind, sun, water, frost destroyed the calcareous compounds between the grains of sand, loosening the surface layer of the rock. In the loosening of sandstone big role temperature fluctuations also play. As for the identical spherical forms of niches, this fact is explained by the fact that sandstone has a shell structure and therefore undergoes peeling. In the sedimentary rocks of the ancient seas, there were many mollusks, fossilized shells of mollusks, bones of ancient marine animals. With the appearance of land here and the peeling of the slopes, fossils and niches poured out. Near Mount Koltso, archaeologists discovered a Bronze Age settlement and found ancient kilns. Much later, this mountain began to be considered sacred, since people still could not explain to themselves the origin of such rocks. They worshiped the ring, made offerings to it. Echoes of people's attitude to Mount Koltso have come down to us in the legend of the stone ring. It was believed that if a warrior on a horse slips through it and does not hurt anything, then in a battle with enemies he will emerge victorious. There is also a more modern belief that if you stand (or pass) under the ring, you will definitely get married or get married. There is another legend explaining the formation of the Ring. which says that a hole in the rock was pierced by a powerful arrow of a shepherd who won the competition with other suitors for the hand and heart of the princess; it became his gift to the bride; “... since then, lovers began to give rings to their friend as a guarantee of fidelity and eternal Love.” Mount Koltso is not only a monument of nature, but also one of the objects of the State Museum-Reserve M.Yu. Lermontov. Lermontov climbed here himself more than once and brought the Ring of Heroes of his book "Heroes of Our Time" to the mountain. Unfortunately, numerous inscriptions disfigured the primeval beauty of this “eolian town”, as academician V. A. Obruchev called the Ring-mountain and the neighboring row of niches. But, nevertheless, one inscription attracted the attention of Lermontov and local historians. It is made in the largest niche with dark blue paint. Under the curly bracket it is written: “Here I visited your sacred grotto by virtue of this vow ... I am torn by my soul to you, priceless, But I have no answer from you ...” It is assumed that the inscription was left by a friend of M. Yu. Lermontov M. I. von Zeidler. The inscription is badly damaged.

Amanauz Gorge Amanauz is one of the natural attractions of Dombay, famous for its canyons and waterfalls. The river Amanauz, the source of Teberda, got its name because of the sheer walls and the noise of numerous waterfalls - the name is translated as "Evil Mouth", it was believed that evil spirits live in the gorge. This gorge, by the way, is the narrowest in the Dombay resort - a real open-air geological museum. Here are all possible rocks- and quartz, and volcanic rocks, and soft limestone. They say that some lucky ones even found gold here. The living jewel of the Amanauz Gorge is the Amanauz Canyon, about 1 km long. In some places, the walls of the gorge almost converge, leaving the Amanauz river less than a meter to squeeze through ... Here is one of the natural attractions of Dombay - the "Devil's Mill". It offers magnificent views of the surrounding peaks - such as the main Amanauz, Moussa-Achitara, Belalakaya, and others. And the hike will only take about an hour.
The Teberdinsky Nature Reserve is located on the northern slope of the Main Caucasian Range with side spurs, in total it occupies an area of more than 85 hectares. Mount Dombay-Ulgen is located just on its territory, by the way - this is the highest point of the reserve, its height is 4 "042 m. The reserve consists of two sections - Teberdinsky and Arkhyzsky, and today it has become one of the most visited protected natural areas. What attracts tourists here?There are many beautiful places and natural attractions in the Teberdinsky Reserve.These are the valleys of the Teberda and Gonchakhir rivers, numerous lakes, beautiful and formidable glaciers - Amanauzsky, Alibeksky and Ptyshsky.This is a unique and rich natural world - from dense deciduous forests in the lowlands to the flowers of alpine meadows, including many plants that grow only here, amazing and rich animal world. When visiting the reserve, it is worth considering that now it is a specially protected natural area, and while inside it, you must follow the relevant rules.
Semenov Bashi Mountain Semenov-Bashi is a dome-shaped ledge in the east of the Caucasus Range, the height of which is 3602 m. The ledge was named after P.P. Semenov-Tyan-Shansky, a famous traveler and explorer, as well as the chairman of the Russian Geographical Society. Due to the fact that the peak is located in the heart of the Dombai region, it is an easily accessible observation platform that offers a breathtaking view of the Caucasian ridge. The ascent to the top is simple and begins with a path that runs through a forest with picturesque glades. From here you can admire the Belalakaya, Dzhalovchat, Sulakhat, Semenov-Bashi mountains, Kap and Kvadratny peaks.
Dombay Dombay glade - the main tourist center of the Dombay resort - is located in the Teberdinsky reserve, in its southern part, in the Dombay intermountain basin between the Main and Lateral Caucasian ridges. True, this local "lowland" is located at an altitude of 1630 m above sea level. Dombay glade was formed by the valleys of three rivers, three tributaries that merge here into Teberda - Dombay-Ulgen, Amanauz and Alibek. Above the low wooded slopes, eight snowy peaks rise up at once. Ine, Dombay Ulgen, Sofriju, Semenov-Bashi - and others. It is beautiful here in summer - beech forests below, nearby - majestic relict fir and spruce forests, alpine meadows and waterfalls ... But Dombai Glade is especially popular in winter, when a ski complex is operating here. Three lines of new cable cars operate here in addition to five lines of old chair lifts, as well as towing roads.
Alibek waterfall is one of the largest and most spectacular Dombai waterfalls (Karachay-Cherkess Republic, North Caucasus). It is located on the territory of the Teberdinsky Reserve. Its height, from which the raging mass of water falls, is more than 25 m. The Alibek waterfall is formed by the fall of the Dzhalovchatka River from the Alibek glacier. Mighty stones, from which water falls with a roar, are called "ram's foreheads." The Alibek waterfall is a powerful white-foamy stream that sparkles with many sprays, which is a magnificent and extraordinary sight. An incredible rumble of a gusty stream breaking down reigns in the gorge. Alibek waterfall appeared in the XX century. Back in the 1930s. it was not there yet, and the rocky ledge covered the tongue of the Alibek glacier, retreating every year upwards by a meter, or even one and a half. This waterfall is one of the most popular hiking destinations. An excursion to the waterfall will not take much effort and time, this route is great for the whole family. The first part of the path (to the alpine camp) can be reached by car, although the site is very picturesque, it passes through a beautiful fir forest, so it is better to walk it. The tour can be continued by visiting the Alibek glacier. The power, strength and beauty of the Alibek waterfall will conquer any tourist and traveler. When the water level is not very high, the river can be crossed over rocks. But without a guide, it is very dangerous to do this, because there is no road on the other side, and the path passes between steep cliffs. And then - along the moraine. The noise of falling iridescent water sparkling in the sun is heard long before the appearance of the waterfall. The air near the waterfall is riddled with mist and roar. Alibek waterfall is one of the main attractions of Dombai, which can be seen only once, so that it will be remembered for a lifetime.

History The territory of Karachay-Cherkessia at the end of the first millennium AD was part of the state of the Alans, some architectural monuments of that time have been preserved: Zelenchuk, Sentinsky, Shoaninsky Christian churches, settlements. Since the first half of the 19th century (according to the Russian-Turkish peace of Adrianople in 1828), the territory of modern Karachay-Cherkessia has been part of Russia as the Batalpashinsky department of the Kuban region. Since 1918, Soviet power has been established here.

ZELENCHUK ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY A large azimuthal telescope is located in the mountains of the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia. Its mirror with a diameter of 6 meters was once the largest in the world. Located at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, an astroclimate suitable for space exploration: an almost ideal atmosphere, a large number of transparent nights and the necessary distance from industrial productions. The uniqueness of the 6-meter telescope is in its alt-azimuth mount: the telescope can move along the horizontal and vertical axes, and this allows scientists to more accurately set the desired area of the sky for studying galaxies and stars. The telescope is one of the components of the special astrophysical observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as is the radio telescope - RATAN-600. These instruments for studying outer space are called the eyes and ears of planet Earth.
