In our article we want to talk about the waterfalls of the Krasnodar Territory. Kaverzinsky waterfalls are not so easy to find. Very often, tourists who go to them for the first time do not immediately get to the right place.
Why Kaverzinsky?
Kaverze is the left tributary of the Psekuls River. On all topographic maps, it is listed as Kavyarze. There are several opinions regarding the origin of the name of the waterfalls. Some believe that it comes from the Russian word "tricky". However, this opinion is not entirely correct, since the river has several other names: Khuarze and Kobza.
So, for example, Kobza in translation means "boar river". And Huarze, most likely, is a distorted version of Kavarze, which has two meanings in translation - a swan and a wave. The seething river waters have a characteristic white color, which is comparable to the color of a beautiful bird. The river is widely known for its waterfalls, located on the right tributary, which flows in the Tambov gap.
Where are the waterfalls?
Kaverzinsky waterfallsand the cave are one of the most famous Krasnodar sights. They are located 5.5 kilometers from the highway Krasnodar - Dzhugba (the village of Khrebtovoye), on the no less famous stream Tambovskaya Shchel. This area belongs to the resort town of Goryachiy Klyuch.
Excursion objects
Interesting objects for excursions are not only the Kaverzinsky waterfalls, but also the village of Khrebtovoye, founded in 1874, as well as the mass grave of Soviet soldiers, the memorial complex, the unique vegetation of the Tambov gap. During a hiking trip, you can admire the Caucasian fir, yew berry, many varieties of mosses and ferns. It is worth knowing that there is not only the Big Kaverzinsky waterfall, whose height is ten meters, but also four more waterfalls, as well as the Universitetskaya cave.
How to get there by car?
Many guests of the resort tend to see Kaverzinsky waterfalls. "How to get there by car?" - this is the main question that arises among tourists. The locals will certainly warn you that the road is not quite easy, and you will not be able to drive to the waterfall itself. Therefore, you should first prepare for a walk in the forest by wearing suitable shoes.
By car, you need to move along the highway to Dzhubga, and after the Goryachiy Klyuch drive through the Pyatigorsk gas station and go to the bus stop, near which there is a monument to soldiers. Here you will see a dirt road leading into the forest. It is on it that you need to move on. After two hundred meters youget to the stream. In principle, a water barrier can be passed by car if you have an SUV, since the water level on the road reaches the ankle. Or you can leave the car and continue walking.
Kaverzin waterfalls: how to get there on foot?
It is necessary to cross the stream and continue along the road. After about a kilometer and a half, the path is again crossed by a rivulet, which can be bypassed or bypassed along a log. Not far from this place the road forks. We need to move to the left side and go to the place where the stream will cross our path again. Here the main road will go up, and we need to go to the right along the path into the gorge. According to experienced tourists, it is this section of the road that can still be overcome on an UAZ or other off-road vehicle. But is it worth depriving yourself of such an adventure as a walk through a beautiful forest?
The rest of the way runs along the path that runs along the stream. Periodically, water streams have to be crossed by jumping over stones. An interesting fact is that the forest stream looks incredibly transparent and clean.
Waterfalls
You will see the first small waterfall at the beginning of the gorge. It is a small water stream flowing down the left wall of the gorge. Perhaps it even dries up in the summer heat. After another twenty minutes of the way, you can reach small waterfalls. A little further on, the largest waterfall finally appears, the height of which, according to various sources, is 10-12 meters. Some tourists at the endexciting journey even bathe in the stream. However, the water in it is incredibly cold even in the warm season.
Kaverzinsky waterfalls are worthy of attention. They may not be that big, but getting to them and admiring the pristine beauty is a real adventure and pleasure.
University cave
Kaverzinsky waterfalls (the route of movement is given by us in the article) is not the only attraction of the area. If you climb from the foot of the main waterfall up a specially constructed staircase, you can not only admire the water flows from above, but also get to the University Cave. It was discovered not so long ago, in 1973, by students of the Kuban University. It is for this reason that she received such a name. A stream originates in the cave, the waters of which come out of it. The cave looks more like a gap, and a stream of water constantly flows along its bottom, which, leaving it, forms a small waterfall.
Reviews of tourists
Rave reviews from tourists who visited the waterfalls speak for themselves. According to vacationers, this stunningly beautiful place is definitely worth seeing. Since the waterfalls are located in a fairly remote area, it is naturally not crowded here.
It's nice that all the tourists who get here keep clean, not throwing garbage along the way. If you decide to see the waterfalls, expect the trip to take you all day. You must bring food and water with youyou will have to travel through the forest, provided there is a complete lack of infrastructure. The scenic spots are so beautiful that they are worth the walk all the way.
Instead of afterword
Journey to the Kverzinsky waterfalls is an amazing adventure. The road in one direction is at least six kilometers, respectively, and you will have to go back only the same. The route itself is a little confusing, but not difficult, there are no elevation changes along the road. However, it is difficult for unprepared laymen, who are used to sitting all day in the office, to make such long movements. Therefore, when going on a hike, measure your strength.
