Psyfabe Fortress
Landmark
Open Details
The fortress can be accessed through Dantovo Gorge: a path between two cliffs leads up a mountain and turns to the Rooster Rock. It is here, on a steep peak, that Psyfabe Fortress once stood out. In case of danger, the townspeople fled up the stone steps carved into the slope and took shelter outside the walls of the citadel.

Адыгский столп
Historic Site
Open Details
A short memorable stop - the remains of the column, which was in the Byzantine architectural complex. In the past, in the 1800s of the last millennium, a tombstone was collected from the wreckage of a Byzantine column over the sarcophagus of a Bzhedukh nobleman. His name has not been preserved, but there are inscriptions in ancient language on the column.

Bogatyr caves
Nature Preserve
Open Details
The oval entrance of the left cave is high enough - about a meter. However, the right cave is even bigger. Historians and archaeologists still do not know when they appeared and how. It is supposed that these Bogatyr caves could serve as parking lots for primitive people.
In caves it is possible to get with children and to plunge all family into the world of ancient people.
Please note that if the weather is wet, there may be slush near the caves, in which case it is better to skip this place. I also do not recommend visiting in winter if you do not have suitable equipment and small children.
To get to the caves, you will need to turn left from the road from the Hot Key to the small church and the sign "Fanagoria", then take the road to the apiary (it will be on the left) and the blue water tower. After that leave the car and go right through the forest for about 300 meters.

After lunch, take a little walk along the Gelendzhik embankment.
The idea of the monument is inspired by the lines from the poem of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin "Ruslan and Lyudmila": "Both day and night the cat scientist all walks on a chain around...".
