A mountain-climatic resort in Kabardino-Balkaria

On the way to Nalchik, stop by the Shoaninsky temple on a steep cliff in the village of Kosta Khetagurov. Not only is it very beautiful and photogenic, it is also one of the oldest in Karachay-Cherkessia. It rises majestically on a steep cliff of the Shoana Mountain and looks amazing. A staircase leads up to it, which is worth climbing up. From here, you'll get a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding area. You can reach the foot of the temple by car.

On the way to Nalchik, make a stop at the picturesque place of Kislovodsk - the Castle of Craftiness and Love. It is a precipitous promontory with a restaurant stylized as an ancient castle. By the way, here at the same time and you can have a snack if you are hungry. Take a walk around the beautiful castle grounds and go to the observation deck with picturesque views of the cliffs.

Start your acquaintance with the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria on the city's main square, Soglasiya Square. It is located right in front of the republic's government building. The square is decorated by a musical fountain and bright flowerbeds.
