Abandoned military units and medieval fortresses

Early in the morning, go for a short walk around Tuapse. Opposite the Seafarers' Palace of Culture there is a control tower of the seaport administration, looking like a lollipop on a "Chupa-chups" stick. The tower has become an integral part of the urban landscape. Tourists are not allowed inside the tower, but you can be photographed against it at any time.

At Cape Kadosh in Tuapse, there is a destroyed camping site and the ruins of a military unit.
In the 40s, an underground defensive system was erected here, where warehouses and a training "infirmary" were dispersed. In the post-war years, Kadosha contained missiles with nuclear charges.
Several single-level underground structures and dungeons are available for inspection. The place is unusual, in its own way beautiful and intriguing, interesting for history lovers.

On the way back on the A-147 you'll have a great viewpoint. Stop here to get some mountain air and see the beauty of Yuzhny from a high altitude.

Not far from the sanatorium "Smena" you can see the monument-plane L-410. It is said that an unusual gift was presented to the sanatorium by musician Joseph Kobzon.
The aircraft model was developed in late 1960s in Czechoslovakia. The aircraft were supplied mainly to the Soviet Union, but also among the main customers were Brazil, GDR, Libya and other countries.

You can have lunch at the restaurant "Caucasian cuisine". As the name already suggests, the menu includes shashlik, khinkali, satsivi and other Caucasian treats loved by everyone.

Even if you have been to Lazarevsky, you could easily pass by its important attraction: the fortress wall of Fort Lazarev. In 1839 the Russian landing troops landed in this place, which erected a powerful fortification made of wood. After the attack of Shapsugs and Ubykhov (who had been pushed into the mountains by Russians before) it was decided to strengthen the walls with stone.
During the Crimean War in 1854, Fort Lazarev was abandoned and pre-blown up. Later, Greeks began to settle around the fortress, and since 1880s, Russian settlers. Thus was formed Lazarevskoye village, now a popular resort.

The triangular fortress of Baghu (or Godlik) is located on the left bank of the Godlik River. This amazing structure of the V century AD has been preserved since the Byzantine Empire.
Once it was inhabited by Geniochi pirates, later the fort was used by Byzantine sailors, and then by Genoese.
Until the 15th century, Baghu was a major trade center (including slave trade). For the last couple of centuries the fortress became famous for the bloody battle of Russian troops with ubykhami.
