Winter in the Krasnodar region is unpredictable, but that's no reason to lock yourself at home. Now is the time to walk through protected forests in search of medieval fortresses, enter museums that are not cared for in the hot summer, and explore all the new sights. This route will appeal to fans of history and archaeology, as well as connoisseurs of rare and hard-to-reach beauty. If it seems to you that you have already seen everything in the Sochi region, then this option is definitely for you.
