In the Black Sea, on the coast of which the resort of Sochi is located, from which the river is located very close. There is a bridge across the river that was built over a hundred years ago. In addition, the shores of East and West Dagomys are connected.

Western Dagomys River

This is a river in the mountains, which is the right tributary of the Kuban River (Dagomys). Near the middle course, a few kilometers from the village of the same name, there is the territory of the Koryta canyon. The waters of Western Dagomys pass through a microdistrict with a similar name in the city of Sochi. At the moment, work is underway to strengthen the river bank in order to build houses on the coast in the future. In addition, several bridges have been built across the river. The length of Western Dagomys is more than 21 kilometers.

Eastern Dagomys

A route for visiting tourists has been laid across the river. The gorge of East Dagomys is famous for the Boxwood waterfalls. Below you will find information about the river, where it flows, where it flows, etc.

Historical background

The Kubanskaya River of the Lazarevsky District in Greater Sochi is located near the village of Dagomys. It is located on the Black Sea coast, where there are also gently sloping mountains, on the slope of which there is a wooded area, many gardens, vineyards and even tea plantations. Dagomys is considered to be a resort in this region, which is among the most popular.

In the second half of the 19th century, this land passed to the family possessions of the tsar and the Romanov family in general. After that, in this area, about ten hectares were planted with garden trees, among which were the most exotic at that time. The center of the park area is known for palace buildings. After 1917, the Soviet authorities seventeen years later, the gardens were transferred to the local fruit farm. In the subtropical park, which is located on the slopes of the top of the Armenianka, there is a rich collection of flowers, shrubs and trees. The area in which the Dagomys River flows was also planted with tea for the first time in Russia. Today, the famous Krasnodar variety grows in this area.

Tourist routes

This is not just a series of excellent resorts on the Caucasian Black Sea coast, butthanks to high trails, picturesque rivers and seething waterfalls, it is also a well-known place for outdoor enthusiasts throughout the country. First of all, it is mountain and water tourism. From these places comes a large number of trails that will lead the traveler to the picturesque gorges of the Western and Eastern Dagomys rivers. This area is served both by bus transport, and you can just get there by car.

Eastern Dagomys River: tourism

What can a traveler do in this region? According to tourist reviews, the most useful and enjoyable moment that the Dagomys (Vostochny) river offers is not even water tourism or picturesque landscapes, but the water itself. There is evidence that it has a spring origin. In addition, if you follow the river, you can see that fontanelles flow into it, which beat from a rocky crevice. It is not difficult to consider the area in which river water is saturated with minerals of underground origin. There, the stones appear something like a plaque of red or burgundy color. Since ancient times, the inhabitants of the Caucasus loved to tell legends about such places. For example, about the fact that these red-burgundy stones are sacred and that the blood of a god or a great folk hero was shed on these sites, after which a healing power appears near the water.

The Dagomys River (Eastern tributary) has backwaters, and, as tourists and locals note, there are quite a lot of them, and they are quite deep. The channel also has a large number of crevices, as it flows through mountainousfaults.

In case you want to go for a walk along it, you need to take shoes for this purpose, which are made of fabric (but always dense) material, and will also fit snugly to your feet. This may seem like an unnecessary measure to you, but it will be much more convenient and safe to walk along the river bed with sky-high feet. In this situation, you will not constantly look down to avoid stepping on something.

If you go up the river, sooner or later you will come to the area where the eastern tributary of the river merges with the Western Bezumenka. You can go to one and the other, as there are several high and very beautiful waterfalls. The one located on Bezumenka is often dry in the summer, but even in such circumstances, you can look at the views of the canyon that you will not forget for a long time after the trip. A number of waterfalls of the Eastern Dagomys river are usually called Samshitov. This is not just a random name. In fact, Boxwood Falls are located where the heavy canopy of ancient boxwood forests stands.

Koryta Canyon

The western tributary of the Dagomys (located on the territory of the Lazarevsky district in the city of Sochi) has a famous canyon, which is commonly called "Trough". Here, on the river, at a short distance from the village, you can find a signpost to this magnificent natural monument. The rock is washed away in layers due to the water current, and therefore a large number of depressions appear in the bottom. Because these ridges and ledgesresemble a trough, and they got such a name here.

If you walk along the river, you will have the opportunity to enjoy not only a beautiful natural view of the river, but also the majestic Colchis forest, which is located nearby. There are many rare plants here that are protected by the Red Book.

Baranovsky troughs

The Dagomys River is one of the attractions of this resort region. At the same time, it is necessary to look at the surroundings of not only the western, but also the eastern tributary. Your vacation will not be complete if you do not at least once arrange something like a picnic or barbecue in this area, in the Caucasus. A plot that is ideal for this purpose is the so-called "Baranovsky troughs" (after the name of the village near the canyon). Both locals and tourists gather here who want to take a break from the city noise, surrounded by nature - forests and birds to the sound of water. Evergreen boxwoods and other trees grow near the mossy rocks. You can also swim here, especially in the hot season (summer-spring).
