What to do in the summer in Arkhyze. Arkhyz - Excellent Rest in Winter and Summer

In mid-October, we managed to go to Arkhyz for the weekend. On this trip we gathered for a very long time, several times were postponed from the most different circumstances, and finally they said that if not this time, then in the near future it would not work. We were not even embarrassed by the fact that the weather forecast was not very pleased - the rain was promised, but we had the mistakes of the forecast and did not lose, although the weather was cloudy, but there was no rain, only occasioned.

Trip to Arkhyz

Arkhyz is mountain area In Karachay-Cherkessia. Actually, the name of the small village of the Zelenchuk district is so called, but in a broad sense, a fairly large tourist area, starting from the village of Zelenchuk (named, is named after the mountain river flowing here) to the very Caucasian ridge. That is, it begins in the foothills, and ends already high in the mountains. It is immediately noticeable that tourists want to attract here - the roads are new throughout the village of Zelenchuk and to the Arcian himself, in some places there are still repaired areas, but there were no traffic jams, the roads are not loaded.

I won't be original if I say that I love Mountains insanely. If I see the mountains in front of me, there are no particular importance for me any inconvenience, no weather whims or overcome distances. But the mountains of Arkhyza is something stunning. Terrible, mighty, majestic - difficult to choose epithets for their description.


Trip to Arkhyz

In Arkhyz, you can go at any time of the year: the spring green mountains are decorated with flowers, aroma of herbs, young vegetation; Summer here is very beautiful and much cooler than in the Black Sea resorts; In winter, the ski season opens here - Archness, by the way, recognized as the best young ski resort countries. But I love the mountains in the fall - it is such a stunning riot of paints! Therefore, this year I performed my long dream - Weekend in Arkhyze.

Trip to Arkhyz

Weekend program we planned so as to see and attractions and natural beauty.

Travel plan to Arkhyz

On the first day, before checking on the tourist, we drove on Nizhne Arkhyz settlement looking at what remained from the ancient capital of Alanya; Then they rose to the famous Face of Christ, which is located on the other side of the road and the Zelenchuk River. These two attractions deserve to tell about them in a separate recall that I promise to do in the near future.

Previously, I, of course, consulted in those who visited Arkhyze, read on the Internet that you can see, so the Lower Architis settlement and the face of Christ stood in my first place of the mandatory program. In second place, the benefit that all this is near, was the famous observatory, which is called the "Oko Planet".

Trip to Arkhyz

Sightseeing tour of the astrophysical observatory

Founded in the 1960s, this astrophysical observatory and today is the largest object of observation object in our country. Still at school, being a very inquisitive child, I visited Astronomy's circle, so he heard about it more than once, but to see her with his own eyes is fantastic.


Trip to Arkhyz

The Observatory itself is high in the mountains - the height is more than 2 km. above sea level. To climb to her, you need to turn on the sign to the left, it will be a check in and at the Nizhnearhyski settlement (it is immediately behind the barrier), and on the road to the observatory.


Trip to Arkhyz

The road takes 20 minutes on the mountain serpentine. Of course, there will be cool turns, and terrible cliffs, and the stuffy ears, and most importantly - stunning views. At one of the turns there is an observation deck, offering luxury species: not only the mountains, including snow-covered, but also the road that repeats the bends of the Zelenchuk River. On the other side you can see snow-covered vertices.


Trip to Arkhyz

On this way, we will return to this way to drive to the village of Arkhyz, but this is later, and now we are waiting for the observatory. Driving a little more, we rose to the observatory. There was still a few more tourist buses, including those brought schoolchildren on a tour. From here, too, stunning views of the surrounding mountains.


Trip to Arkhyz

But the main thing, of course, is an astrophysical observatory, which is considered the largest in Europe. Here is a large telescope tower (its diameter of six meters), which has a fixed shape, nearby is a large crane, which is installed on the rails leading to the large tower. All this creates some kind of fantastically unreal picture. Plus, it's just a terrible wind that knocks down, and strange silence - only buzzing wind and metal structures "moan" and creak from the wind. A little terrible, the impression that you are at least on the filming of a fantastic film.


Trip to Arkhyz

Special delight in all caused an optical illusion created by moving clouds. Someone from the group noticed that because of the clouds quickly running away, if you become under a huge crane, it seems that it falls. Wow, right the spirit captures.
A little further, there are two more telescope - smaller, and several other unknown objects.


Trip to Arkhyz

While we walked around the observatory, the group came out of the building after an excursion. Excursion to the large telescope tower costs 150 rubles, lasts about an hour, including watching a training film. But the guide accompanied by the group said that they did not like the tour very much, since the young man who spent her was not particularly interested in attracting the attention of the listeners, spoke to a dry scientific language, in general, not that.

We, in fact, were not going on a tour of the inside, since we had not a lot of time - we were waiting for a tourist base, but if someone gathered, it may be lucky more with a guide. I think, if you wish, in such a place you can make a stunningly interesting excursion, which will appeal not only to schoolchildren, but also adults.

Tourist base "Arkhyz"

After sightseeing tour On the observatory, our way was lying in the village of Arkhyz. We stopped at the tourist base with the original and unexpected name - "Arkhyz". It is located on the very edge of the village, by the way, very close to the territory of the reserve. We especially did not pick up when they chose the base, I listened to the Council of friends who were already rested here.

This is a fairly low-cost option, quite the corresponding price. Having pleased a large territory of the turbase with a large number of arbors, near the mangals, there are playgrounds, a lot of swing. Several cases. We were placed in the first two-story wooden case. There are many rooms, mostly triple and quadruple. Amenities - along the corridor. On the floor there are two toilets with several cabins, there are refrigerators, a hall, showers on the first floor. In the same place on the first floor, the dining room and the only TV. The rooms are all modestly humble. But, in principle, we arrived here not to sit in the room or watch TV. Therefore, when we are late in the evening, they returned here terribly tired after a trip to the White Waterfall (I run ahead), we were completely satisfied with hot water in the shower, clean bed and warm numbers.

When we arrived to settle, we were already waiting for lunch. Feed us, indeed, very tasty: there was a delicious brewing thick lagman (present), everyone is a large plate of hot, only from fire, Khachapuri (or maybe they are called differently) with potatoes, as well as fragrant herbal tea. You can use the kitchen at any time, there is a stove, microwave, refrigerator, several electric kettles, dishes. At any time, you can ask for their wonderful herbal tea - the owners are very pleasant, hospitable. The next morning fed us more traditionally - mashed potatoes, goulash and salad from fresh vegetables. But everything is very tasty, homely. On sweet - fried pyshki with honey. Honey real, mountain. By the way, tea, honey, mushrooms collected in the mountains, even jam from cones can be bought here, at the owners, and cheaper than in the outlets. In general, if you are not too demanding, and you do not have to provide an alpine chalet in the mountains, it is quite acceptable to spend the night. Tourist base - she is tourist baseAnd far is not bad.

But I will return to my story. Settled (or rather, leaving things in the rooms), having tasty lunch, barely warming the tea and dressed in warmer, we went to a new tour. For our group, a large military SUV gas was ordered, 66, who already suggested that the road awaits us extreme.


Trip to Arkhyz

Drive on white waterfall

We drove from the tourist about an hour. 10 minutes it was a normal road, then a mountain road began with ughabs, lifts, descents, broths and other charms. The driver honestly warned us that the "sausage" would be great. But no one was outraged, on the contrary, in the car there were fun, each bump was accompanied by friendly shouts and laughter, after all, everyone understood where we were going, and morally to such a shake was ready.
After an hour, such a ride, wearing and happy, although they beat off some of some places, we stopped in the forest, on a small glade, we had to climb on foot. The rise is steep enough, among the trees, had to be kept to the trees and roots.

Trip to Arkhyz

In several places it was necessary to move through small streams, so the shoes are needed here not only comfortable and warm, but also waterproof. A few minutes later, we went to the river, then climbed along the noisy mountain river, on the shores of which there were many fallen trees. In the spring and summer, the river is flourishing and stormy, often with the root pulls old trees.

In general, this place is, of course, impressive with his primaryness, even wildness. It is immediately clear that there are still not very often tourists. Opening views are affected by their severity. The special effect was added that all this was in the evening, at dusk.

Trip to Arkhyz

We stayed on a waterfall about half an hour, but since it became really dark and scary, we began to descend down. Go down the mountain forest at night - this is another adventure, I will tell you. As no one has broken anything, it is a question, but fell several times. But the impressions are indescribable, and the extreme is stuck for a long time forward.


Trip to Arkhyz

Returned it later, dimly. The next day we were waiting for a new excursion - in Sofia Gorge. We agreed with the driver at 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was necessary to collect, have breakfast, as a result, the rise was appointed for 7 hours. So it was necessary to sleep well, relax, dry shoes and prepare for new impressions.

Arkhyz is called the village in the Zelenchuk district of Karachay-Cherkessia. Geographically, Archyz is located in the West Caucasus between the revolt of the Chief Caucasus Range.

This is very beautiful place, absolutely not advertised, unlike the resort Rose Farm. This lies both the pros and cons of the resort. With the opening in Arkhyze in 2014 the first cablewayThe resort became ski and here you can come in winter and go skiing along the snow-covered slopes.

Arkhyz is charmingly beautiful, both in the summer and winter. Gorge, hanging mountains, alpine meadows, mountain rivers, waterfalls and glaciers attract hundreds of tourists annually. Come to Arkhyz, and this article will help to make a first impression and will clarify some difficulties that may arise when planning travel and finally convince you of the fact that the choice of Arkhyza, as a place of rest is a very good choice.

Climate Arkhyza

From all sides, the village of Arkhyz is closed by the mountains, which makes the climate very soft. In winter, the thermometer column is rarely lowered below -15 degrees. In the summer, there is no sultry heat in Arkyse, the air is cooled and fresh, the temperature in the summer does not rise above 25 degrees. Winter in Arkyse is very snowy, which makes this place perfect for skiing. Clear and sunny days in Arcise 300 per year, it was for this reason that the Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences was built next to the Lower Arcity on Mount Shepherv. The local residents of the weather in Arkhyze are told about the uniqueness of the weather. In Arkyse, it can be sunny, even if it rains in the village of Zelenchuk (50 km from Arcise).

How to get to Arkhyza

One of the main issues that you have to decide if you do not have personal vehicles, "How to get to Arkhyz?" As mentioned above, Arkhyz is just a settlement and here do not train and there is no airport nearby. Only minibuses and minibuses from nearby regional centers go to Arcians. To file and decide on how to transport yourself to the resort, you can use a schematic plate below.

The table shows the most likely travel options. So you can see that if you want to fly to Arkhyz by plane, then the nearest airports are located in Stavropol and Mineral Wateroh, from both of these points, the distance to Arcise is approximately the same (210-225 km.) Thus, when choosing a ticket, you can concentrate only at the price of the ticket and neglect the choice of airport arrival, if there is such a choice.

If you are going to use the services of Russian Railways, then the nearest train Station Located in Nevinnomyssk, from where you can order a taxi to Arcise or use the services of a public carrier. But using public transport to get to Arcise from Nevinnomyssk is extremely uncomfortable for several reasons. First, as already mentioned, only minibuses and gazelles go to Arcians, so you will most likely have to pay extra for your suitcase or backpack. Secondly, the bus route Nevinnomyssk - Arkhyz walks only once a day at 13.00, which makes hit this bus not just complicated, but almost impracticable. Therefore, for the transfer, we advise you to take advantage of the taxopark of the official representative of the Romantic Ski Resort. "Taxi Arkhyz" - reliable and tested on personal experience carrier. The site presents the price tag, so the transfer from the railway station in Nevinnomyssk to the Archyz resort will cost you 2100 rubles, regardless of the number of passengers.

If you decide to get to Arcise from one of KMV cities (Kislovodsk, Pyatigors or Essentuki), then this can be done using the transfer of any travel agency. You just sit in tourist busserving on an excursion to Arkhyz. Such a method also has its limitations, for example, in Archyz from the CMS, the excursion is carried out not daily, but only on weekends and such a bus will be left at 8 or 9 am. The price will also vary from 1000 to 1500 per person.

Yes, it's not very easy to get to Arcise, but it is worth it. The delightful nature of Karachay-Cherkessia will not leave you indifferent, and the mountains will forever fall in love and will never let go.

Village Arkhyz


The village itself is very small (500 people according to 2010 data) and tourism is the main source of well-being local residents. Therefore, the attitude to the tourism industry in Arkhyze has almost every resident. On the main street of the village (Lenin st.) There are many restaurants, cafes and skewers. In the place where Lenin street crosses the street of Khubiyev, a landmark Telemetric tower, a stop is located public transport, market and place of collecting excursions. In addition to excursions on the UAZ, in Arkhyze you can take equestrian tours or arrange an alloy along the river Big Zelechuk, Equipment for alloy rental is located near the market.

Attractions Arkhyza

Sofia Waterfalls and Sophia Lakes

At least the attractions and are located in one direction, they are rarely combined, because at the inspection of Sofia waterfalls, it utters 3-4 hours, and 6-7 hours will leave for the Sofia lakes and the reference, there is a risk of not returning, but darkens The mountains are very fast.

Cossack waterfall

For the village of Arkhyz, there is the Arkhaysian section of the Teberdinsky Reserve, where several ecological tourists are arranged for tourists pedestrian routes Such as: Cossack Waterfall, Sleeping Lake and Lake Love. The same routes can be passed not only on foot, but also riding horses, horse rides are immediately provided. The entrance to the reserve is paid and is 100 rubles per person. The route to the Cossack waterfall is lightweight and will take no more than 3 hours. The route to the Lake of Love Middle Severity will require a whole day for passing.

Barite waterfall

The route is located north of Arkhyz, entering the path right from the village. Mashrut medium difficulty, his passage will take 3-4 hours.

Alaska fortification and face of Christ

Attractions are located in the village of Nizhny Arkhyz. A visit to the sights will take no more than 4 hours, usually visiting these two attractions are combined with a visit to the Nearby Observatory RAS.



From the Arcise on SUVs, there are still in many places: Dukkinsky lakes, Pogia Pass, White River, seven-color waterfall and much more.

In Arkhyz, excursions often carry excursions from CMB, but as a rule, the list of attractions on such an excursion is limited to the Alansky and temples, the Face of Christ and the Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Karachai cuisine

Karachai cuisine is very simple. For urban conditions, it may be even too simple, but here in the mountains, where the air is saturated with oxygen, any dish seems exquisite. You can even say that the mountain air is a mandatory ingredient of all Karachai dishes.

Soup Karachavtsy are prepared from lamb, the most common meat in the Caucasus. By virtue of religion, and in the Caucasus is common Islam, Karachayants do not eat pork and do not even try to look for a pork kebab.

Two soups, Shulums and Shorp are commonly common. The main ingredient of both is lamb, necessarily on the bone, for the tavadidity of the broth.
In addition to the meat of the ram in the shoustin, potatoes, eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes and greens are added. But if something is not enough at hand, it does not matter, it just can be excluded. The simplest shuffer, which we had a chance to try was simply from lamb on the bone and potatoes, but it did not feel the least delicious. Another distinctive feature of the shuffle is its sharpness, as a rule, in the soup, in addition to greenery, add red and black pepper, which gives the soup spicy sharpness. Shulum can even be easier shurts and if the potatoes do not throw out of the shurts, then it is easily from Schulam. There will be such a barracks broth.

Traditional in our understanding of the second dish in the Caucasus does not exist. The main dish is always meat, and in this case it is a lamb kebab. But since the gentle parts of the lamb is not very much, then everything goes into the kebab, which falls under the ax. From ribs, to the fillet parts, so do not be surprised to see meat with brushes on the skewer.

The traditional garnish for meat is Mamalyga - corn flour porridge, almost tasteless, so as not to interrupt the taste of the main dish.

The main appetizer of the Caucasus is a hitch. Cycins are with meat and with cheese, baked or fried. In the fried version, Hychin is very similar to the usual Primorsky Cheburek, and in the liver to Ossetian pie. If you are not very hungry and you want to eat literally on the go, then nothing to come up with a better baked hatch with hot tea from mountain herbs. Mountain tea requires a separate mention. In the market in Arcise, you can easily find herbal fees with alpine meadows. Their fragrance will warm you with winter evenings and raise the tone into labor weekdays.

Separately, I would like to mention Karachai lemonade, rolled into Karachai on Karachai brewery. This is the real taste of childhood, and the whole archyz knows it. Therefore, "Cheburashka" with the inscription "Lemonade" or "Pear" you will find at any store, cafes and restaurant, even in remote places such as a glacier farm on the route to Sofia Waterfalls. And the secret of the fact that these lemonades can only be bought in Karachay-Cherkessia, Stavropol and Kabardino-Balkaria lies on the shelf life of the lemonade - 20 days.

Having traveled to the lower part of the valley, you can get to Akademgorodok village Bukovo. The main attractions of Arkhyz are concentrated here, among which the ancient temples. In the upper part there is a resort of Arkhyz.

From the northern and northwestern part, Arcise's territory is separated by the Abishira Akhuba Range. The symbol of the arcise is considered the top of Sofia, the crest of which is turning cool closer towards the north and forms a Sofia saddle, which subsequently connects to the Cent Chat Range. A rather picturesque picture is

In addition to unique natural seats Tourists are popular with architectural attractions of Arkhyz, among which the Northern Zelechuk temple. The building is built from sandstone in the shape of a cross. Its length corresponds to the height of the temple and is 21 meters. As for the width, it is two times less. Currently, it is already impossible to see the frescoes, as they are not preserved (the exception is the ornaments on the slopes of altar windows).

Continuing to consider the sights of Arkhyza, it is impossible not to say about the BTA telescope, which is the largest in Eurasia. It was installed in a special astrophysical observatory, which is located near the village of Nizhny Arkhyz on Mount Semiodniki. The Radan-600 radio telescope deserves in this area, located near the village of Zelenchuk.

All of them are located in a circle, the diameter of which is 576 meters.

Continuing to discuss the most interesting places that the Arkhyz are famous for attractions, the pictures of which are presented here, one can be supplemented with the historical and architectural and archaeological complex - the Nizhne-Arkhyz settlement, located just two kilometers from Bukovo. Once the city of Magas flourished here. According to scientists, this particular locality Once he was the capital of ancient Alanya. The settlement itself extends 4.5 kilometers. Here you can clearly see three streets, several alleys with residues of stone walls, residential buildings and temples.

What else is interesting to see by arriving in Arkhyz? Attractions of this area can be described for a very long time. But we will focus on the Nizhne-Arkhaysian historical and architectural complex, which was opened in 1977 and consists of 3 cross-dome churches: the southern, middle and northern medieval settlement. The complex includes defensive shafts, quarries, ancient landowner sites, overhead and rock grace.

Among others, the Kazan Church, towering in the village of Maruha deserves attention. Its main treasure is the image of the Kazan Mother of God, which, according to Christians, has healing properties.
