Many Russian travelers unfairly neglect Adygea and completely in vain! Today we are publishing a selection of the 8 most beautiful locations in this region that are definitely worth a visit.
Rufabgo Waterfalls and gorge
One of the most visited locations in Adygea can be called the Rufabgo waterfalls and the gorge located next to them. The route is very simple, so you can even take children on the tour. The main feature is that you can admire the waterfalls not only in summer, but also in winter when they freeze. Also, during the walk, we recommend taking a look at the medieval fortress, or rather, the preserved underground prison and the ancient altar.
