To Adygeya on the mountain roads
Today will take your breath away not only from the numerous turns on the mountain roads and passes, but also from the stunning views. From Tuapse to Maykop it is better to drive through the Shahumyan pass, where you will be able to see the bizarrely shaped Indyuk Mountain, and at the final point walk around and get to know the capital of Adygea: the national museum, city squares, the cathedral mosque, monuments and monuments. And fried cheese and other Adygean national dishes will be waiting for you in the best places of Maykop.

Indyuk
Leave the hotel in the morning, today will be an interesting mountain road to Maikop. And the first stop on the way is Indyuk Mountain. The mountain is located on the territory of the reserve "Prichernomorsky", 40 km from Tuapse in the village "Turkey" of the same name. The mountain is known for its interesting shape as a turkey ridge and picturesque surroundings. It is therefore worth making a stop in the "Turkey" village to take a look at the quirky mountain.
