As you know, I have an extremely negative attitude towards "seal rest" on the Black Sea coast. But last season I went there for a few days, in order to show my beloved four-year-old child what the sea is after the mountains of Adygea. I won’t repeat myself about this hellish trip, but today, when it began to snow again outside the window, I wanted to show something summer and hot. The choice fell on the Kiselev Rock. This quite picturesque natural attraction is located four kilometers northwest of Tuapse, between Cape Kadosh and the mouth of the Agoy River. It is known largely due to the fact that on the beach near this very rock, the famous fishing scene from the movie "The Diamond Arm" was filmed.

02 . Kiseleva rock in all its glory. According to various sources, the height of this "wall" is from 43 to 46 meters.

03 . If you look at the rock from the side, you can see that it consists of rhythmically interbedded thin layers of sandstones and marls. This sequence of shallow marine sediments was formed in the Upper Cretaceous - 80 million years ago.

04 . The rock layers are set vertically and extend towards Cape Kodosh parallel to the seashore, but not straight, but curved in the form of a giant arc that goes around the bay.

05 . The rock is surrounded by a rich flora, including 7 species of lianas and up to 30 species of shrubs and trees, including Pitsunda pine. Kiseleva Rock, together with the Mouse Minks located 700 meters to the north, is part of the Kadosh protected forest park. The area of ​​the park is 300 hectares. The rock itself covers an area of ​​1 ha.

06 . Getting to the Kiselev Rock and swimming in clear sea water (at least in relation to city beaches) is not so easy. First, having moved off the asphalt, you need to go along the dirt road. More precisely, on primers, since there are several exits and the condition of the road depends on weather conditions. However, in dry weather, almost any car can drive carefully. Next, you will have to pay 100 rubles per person and so much for each car in order to drive a little more, and then, having gathered children, towels and beach umbrellas in an armful, go on an extreme, crumbling, descent down. Something near the goat trail. No railings, only branches and tree roots. Only at the very end is a wooden staircase (visible in the title photo).

07 . But if the extreme descent down to the beach is compensated by a well-deserved relaxation in the sea, then the tiring climb to the top, when you are wet with sweat, with dirty feet, torn slates and an exhausted child under your arm, you get to the car in order to greedily share the rest of the water in the heated in the back seat of a bottle, alas, forever brings the Kiselev Rock into the category of dubious sights. Yes, yes, I finally got one.

08 . But since we still went down, let's admire the amazing creation of nature a little more.

09 . Something like a circle of young geologists. While everyone was swimming and sunbathing, these girls and boys climbed the rocks and broke off pieces of rock.

10 . Kiselyov Rock in the "Diamond Hand". Everyone remembers the scene when the boy walked on the water? It was filmed here.

11 . At the beginning of the 20th century, not far from this place was the dacha of Alexander Alexandrovich Kiselev, a famous Russian artist-democrat, itinerant. In his paintings, he sang the beauty of the nature of the Black Sea, and on one of the canvases he also depicted this rock. locals in gratitude to the artist, the rock was named after him, and in Tuapse there is even a memorial and art museum of Kiselev. But despite the relative inaccessibility, as well as the historical and natural significance, the beach near the rock is clogged with garbage from "grateful" descendants. However, like the entire Black Sea coast.

I have been to Kiselyov Rock several times already. And for a long time, when this place did not gain its popularity, and last fall, when we. The place is beautiful and convenient for spending the night in a tent near Tuapse. If only it were cleaner here, but more deserted ...

Kiseleva Rock is located near Tuapse, or rather between Tuapse and Agoy. It reaches a height of 46 meters, and if God forbid it falls, then the resulting "designer" is unlikely to be assembled by anyone. You can drive up to the rock by car, but more on that below. Now it is a popular place with people, but it remains beautiful until now, at least for now. I can’t say that I would advise going there in the summer season, but I don’t quite understand everyone who travels to the Black Sea as savages during this period.

The Kiselev Rock is named after the artist Kiselev, who was the first to capture it in his paintings. His dacha was located nearby on Cape Kadosh. True, this was back in the late 19th - early 20th century. I wonder if it were not for this rock, would anyone know this artist? Or to ask in another way, if not for this artist, who would know this rock? :)

Kiseleva Rock is rightfully the hallmark of the city of Tuapse. It rises 46 meters above it, representing an almost sheer stone block - an amazing creation of nature. There is also an ancient Adyghe legend about the rock: she used to live here beautiful girl named Guash. Her father was rich, owned almost the entire coast, and all the factories belonged to him. But the girl did not like any of the rich suitors: the proud and impregnable beauty rejected everyone. All but one handsome guy. The problem was that he was a groom.

The girl told her father about her intention. He was so disappointed in her that, as a result, he locked the girl up, and in return he betrothed her a new groom, of course, very rich. The girl refused to marry a 70-year-old Circassian. And in the end, the groom-groom appointed a meeting on the rock of Kiselyov: at midnight the horseman galloped here, Guash came too, only now the chase was chasing his beloved. Because right off the cliff, he jumped into the abyss of 46 meters. Guash could not stand it, shed many bitter tears - and eventually followed him ...

This is the legend that explains the name of the rock: the Rock of Tears.

Kiseleva Rock is rightfully the hallmark of the city of Tuapse. It rises 46 meters above it, representing an almost sheer stone block - an amazing creation of nature.

The second name - Kiseleva - arose in honor of the artist of the same name, who immortalized this sheer rock in his paintings. On Cape Kadosh, you can also find the artist's dwelling.

And this 46-meter rock, as if cut off from one edge, was lit up in the famous Soviet film "The Diamond Arm". It is here that Andrei Mironov is surrounded by a halo of holiness, a young boy who literally walks on water. The role of the boy was Nikulin's son - and, unusually, this is his only film role.

You can get to the Kiseleva rock from the beach with mysterious name Spider. You have to walk along large boulders, and the walk itself will take about 40 minutes. Usually, there are fewer tourists here in the low season, and from a steep cliff there is an excellent view of the entire coast. Those wishing to swim are lucky - near this natural monument there is a tiny beach where tourists like to put up tents. From a distance, the Kiseleva rock does not seem so big.

How to get to the Kiseleva Rock

I know several ways.

1. Walk along the coast from the Tuapse beach, which is located behind the shipyard. The road is not very good (if you can call it a road) and in the heat it is hard to go. But for lovers of hiking - the most it.
2. On the ship. Several times a day, a ship departs from the port of Tuapse and carries tourists to the Kiselev Rock. There you can go ashore, walk, swim and take plenty of pictures.
The price of a boat trip to the Kiselev Rock is from 450 rubles. Children - 300 rubles.


Here is the ship.

3. By car. Before reaching the city of Tuapse, literally two kilometers, you will see an unremarkable check-in to the right. Here you can see it clearly in the photo.


You turn and go. Soon the sign "Autocamping Skala Kiseleva" will appear.

You can turn here and stay at the campsite. And you can drive further and also see another check-in to the right. We turned there. The road, frankly, is not very good. On a passenger car and on bald tires it is better not to risk it. But if you are an ace driver or an SUV car, it is quite possible to drive.


We drove to the very end of the road. Further, the road turned into a narrow path leading down to the sea. Here we set up a bivouac.

Descent to the sea is not easy. You need to go down very carefully, and not in slippers, but in normal shoes.


The view from the top from the Kiselev Rock is amazing. That's just to admire, too, you need to be careful. One wrong move - and goodbye to the sea and the sun!

By the way, this place is also famous for the fact that the fishing episode of Andrey Mironov's hero "Diamond Arm" was filmed here.

How to get there?

You can get to the rock in various ways: by car, on foot, by boat. If you walk from wild beach Tuapse, then the path will be about 4 km along the rocks. In some places, the rocks come close to the sea, and it is quite difficult to go in a storm. It's better to go calm.
