About route

The rafting route on the Kuban River is available from mid-May to late October. The route passes through a narrow valley covered with mixed forest. The rapids on the route are rocky areas, heaps of boulders and one meter long shafts.

The most serious obstacle on the route is the Aman-Hit canyon. Here, in the river bed, there are many rock fragments and large boulders, steep drains and foam pits between the stones. The last section of the canyon will give the largest number emotions and drive - here the river speeds up and leaves little time for maneuvering between large fragments of rocks. This section of the route is characterized by high banks of water with overturning tops. Before passing this section, preliminary exploration of the rapids is required.

The canyon is followed by a section of the path with rapids of the first second and third levels of difficulty - the Kamennomostskiy threshold. The route on this section consists almost entirely of rocky rifts and steeply falling sections with surface stones. In these places, the shafts in the rifts reach one and a half meters. The Upper Kamennomostskiy threshold is a short and steep drop in the channel, with a lot of pitfalls. Foam forms due to stones, which prevents the stream from being seen.

At the end of this section there is the Chute Rapid, which is too difficult for tourists to overcome, since it is a narrow passage between the rocks and an almost uniform fall of the river from a six-meter height for seventy meters. This threshold is bypassed by land.

After that, the route of rafting along the Kuban River dives into a bare, treeless valley. The channel is rocky and abounds in lingering rifts. The river becomes more powerful and full-flowing.

The next section of the path passes in steep bends of the channel, over which sandstone peaks hang. The rapids in this area are of artificial origin. These are the Pechka Rapid - a huge furnace demolished into the water, the former dam and the Armaturny Rapid - the remains of a washed-out section of the railway.

The last section of the path is calm, with rapids of the first-second level of difficulty, rare rifts. The river is divided into several branches, in which there are a lot of demolished trees and rhizomes. Beyond the end point of the route, the Kuban spreads widely, passing into a reservoir blocked off by a dam.

Considering that the rafting is carried out under the supervision of experienced rafters, the rafting route along the Kuban River poses no danger to tourists.

If you are tired of boring gray everyday life, monotonous landscape outside the windows, and suddenly you wanted to take a breath of fresh air, gain new impressions, meet interesting people, touch real wildlife - relax with us in the Kuban!

At your service there is a recreation center, houses, a sauna, billiards, a water trip along the river on rafts and kayaks. Visit to thermal springs.

And if you like extreme sports, want to feel how you are overwhelmed by waves of adrenaline, post a video about your adventures in YouTube - go with us to travel along the rough rifts in the upper reaches!

Our trip begins at the recreation center "On Salty" in the floodplain of the Kuban River in S. Kochubeevsky.

Our map and signs on the streets of the village will lead you to the base where the staff and instructor will meet you, place you in the houses, if necessary, and assign the car to the parking lot. For those who stay at the recreation center - walks through the floodplain forest of the Kuban, fishing, table tennis, billiards, table football, sauna, barbecue, firewood, gazebos. We will organize a visit to the thermal springs in the village. Kazminsky and H. Belovsky.

For those who have gathered to rafting, the instructor will give out the equipment, give instructions, fill in the route sheet, and place them in the vehicle. The bus will take you to the start of the route.

Since we are describing the entire route, in the description we will indicate the control points where you can start and end the journey. The conditions by which the control points are determined, the possibility of vehicle access to the river.

And so the beginning: x. Sadovy near Cherkessk is a rather turbulent character of the river and very beautiful rocks and forest in the Yamal-Dzhalga gully and the Belomechetskaya Upland.

If you like history, you can arrange an expedition on boats to the Yaman-Dzhalga gully, where the Great Silk Road passed centuries ago, and where, according to legend, the treasures of Batu, Genghis Khan and other ancient commanders were buried. The area of ​​the Belomechetskaya Upland is a real paradise for archaeologists.

On the high right bank you can see unique outcrops of stratal rocks of the Middle and Upper Sarmatian. Millions of years ago, waves of the ocean and then the Sarmatian Sea splashed here. In rocky sediments and soil, scientists still find fossilized remains of dinosaurs, primitive fish and shells, vertebrae of whales and sharks.

After passing the bridge to st. Belomechetskaya to the bridge x. Ust-Nevinsky river flow is mostly calm, but there are a lot of blockages where you can turn over, you need to be very careful.

From x. Sadovy to h. Ust-Nevinsky 4-6 hours in high water.

The most interesting option: a hike from x. Ust - Nevinski to Nevinnomyssk (to the bridge, the confluence of the B. Zelenchuk and Kuban rivers) or to the head structure of the Nevinnomyssk canal.

Here, the nature of the rafting changes dramatically, the riverbed narrows downstreams, rapids for 2-3 hours with stops. I like it very much for novice tourists.

For the further hike, you need to transfer the rafts over the dam (one hundred meters).

Boiling on the rifts in the upper reaches, the stormy Kuban humbles its run and then flows measuredly meandering among centuries-old forests and steep banks. From a bird's eye view, the Kuban looks like an endless, silvery winding ribbon. And along the shores and deserted islets, it surprises with an abundance of wildflowers, wild vegetation, age-old oaks, larch trees, poplars.

And, if you like a calm and measured rafting along the impassable almost Amazonian "jungle" of quiet creeks and channels, travel in the middle course. This is the best site for family vacation and recreation with children.

At the end point of the tourists a transport awaits that will take you to the recreation center "On salty" where you can relax, steam in the bath, and fry barbecue. You can also visit the thermal springs in the village. Kazminsky and H. Belovsky.

You can view information about visiting the thermal springs on the website: belovski.my1.ru

Recently, a new round of popularity is gaining water tourism of the Krasnodar Territory... Numerous water routes are striking in their diversity and uniqueness. The main waterway for water tourism is the Kuban River. On all its deep tributaries from early spring to late autumn, kayaking and rafting can be organized for tourists.

Mountain tourism of the Krasnodar Territory

The Kuban River is located below the city of Krasnodar in the basin of the Krasnodar reservoir. The river itself and its channels are navigable, in this regard, tourists are obliged to observe the basics of the rules for sailing along the internal arteries of Russia, as well as the peculiarities and customs of navigation in this area. In the process of rafting, dangers often lie in wait in the form of pitfalls, sunken tree snags and various debris, so you need to be extremely careful and careful, since there are known cases of coups with serious health consequences. Without fail, absolutely all participants in the rafting, regardless of experience and seniority, need to wear a life jacket.

Next, we will consider the most popular routes on the Kuban River, which are included in the main water tourism of the Krasnodar Territory. The direction Nevinnomyssk - Armavir includes passing settlements Kochubeevskoe, Nadzornoye, Uspenskoye, Ubezhenskoye and ends in the city of Armavir. Total length rafting is 117 km. The beginning is on the left bank of the Kuban, 200 meters from the dam. A good option to relax on the Armavir-Kropotkin route. In this place, the river is full-flowing and voluminous. We pass by the village of Krasnaya Polyana on the left bank, and on the right - the station Prochnokopskaya, which are connected by a bridge. Rafting downstream, on your right in the direction of travel, you will definitely see a forest gatehouse, which will serve you as a convenient place for a cozy overnight stay. On the route - Krasnodar Reservoir, you can go from any point on its shore. It is important to stay away from waterworks. The most acceptable option: along the Kuban River from the city of Ust-Labinsk and then immediately descend into the reservoir.

Water tourism of the Krasnodar Territory represented not only by the Kuban River, but also by other water routes. Lovers of boats and kayaks will undoubtedly love the route along Azov coast... An intricate branch of the direction runs along the settlements of the city of Temryuk, the village of Achuevo and the small town of Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Further, near the Kamyshevatskaya station to Dolzhanskaya station, and ends near the city of Yeysk. Throughout a weekly exciting journey, tourists will be able to enjoy a series of "revived" volcanoes made of mud, "jungle" of reeds. They will sail through the thickets of the Indian lotus, as well as the Khan Lake with curative mud and sources of hydrogen sulfide.

In addition, the route has countless convenient stops and estuaries for rest. The local fauna is represented by ducks, herons, hoopoes and other birds. There is practically no firewood on the way, so ideally take a gas stove with you. For a more sporty and extreme rafting, professionals choose the mountain rivers Shakhe, Mzymta, Belaya. Length water routes on these rivers is from 6 to 18 kilometers, depending on the complexity of the descent and the experience of tourists.

Please, regarding the transfer to the rivers of Karachay-Cherkessia: Kuban, Aksaut, Teberda, contact as much as possible in advance!

A brief description of the routes of water trips, rafting on the rivers Kuban, Aksaut, Teberda.

The Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia is one of the places in our country where nature has remained the same as it was created for thousands of years. The high-altitude river valleys of the local mountain rivers have preserved an amazing variety of flora and fauna. Water trips and rafting on local mountain rivers on rafts, kayaks, (kayaks) are a great way to see the local nature and get a shot of adrenaline.

Water trips, rafting on the Teberda river in Karachay-Cherkessia. During the organization and conduct of a water trip or rafting, it is difficult to do without additional transport services. You can contact us and arrange a transfer to the rivers of Karachay-Cherkessia: Kuban, Teberda, Aksaut! There are many shallow rocky areas along the route from the right tributary of the Shumka River to the city of Teberda. Then the river breaks up into small components. Therefore, from this place to the bridge over which cars drive in front of the mouth of the Dzhamagat River, it is better to inspect the site before rafting. It is about 2 km. About 1 km downstream of the Teberda from the mouth of the Dzhamagat you will meet the Moreny Rapid. In the process of rafting to it, you will have to overcome a number of water areas with pitfalls and large boulders. On the entire route of the water trip along Teberda, including further, you will encounter shivers. Attention! 3 km below the village of Verkhnyaya Teberda, the rafting or trekking will need to be interrupted and the means of transportation on the water should be transferred on foot. You will come across a low suspension bridge. (The distance to the water is about half a meter). Below the village of Nizhnyaya Teberda, we continue rafting. For the next 2 km, the river again spreads over a large area and varies around the trees dumped in its bed. A more complex and interesting segment begins. The Teberda River here has a small width and high speed. This means that it is tedious to be prepared for quick maneuvers. Further, the village of Novaya Teberda will meet a suspension bridge. (Distance from water 1 meter). Further 1 km is a series of channels, even further is a rapids with sharp overflows through reefs. Then there is a bridge, behind which there is a dam. In this place on the river there is a drain with a height of 2-5 m. It is recommended to look through this entire segment before the rafting. In general, the last 7 km of rafting are characterized by various obstacles. Downstream there will be a couple more bridges, after which an exit to clear Teberda. The Teberda River beyond Karachaevsky flows into the Kuban River.

Water trips, rafting on the Aksaut river often they start with a transfer to the village of Krasny Karachay, sometimes Aksaut. The length of the route by water is about 75 km, the time of the rafting can take up to 5 days. The distance from the village of Zelenchukskaya to the village of Krasny Karachay is 54 km. The Aksaut River originates on the Aksaut glacier. Near the village, the river flows in a wide channel, where it is split into small branches. After a couple of kilometers, they will unite into one. In this case, the width of the Aksaut will be in the region of 10 to 15 meters. There is a rapids up to 400 meters long, which will end with a one and a half meter drain. A little further, the bridge, behind which Aksaut will expand again for several kilometers. Further, after the narrowing, there will be a 2nd threshold. A hundred meters downstream you will swim a canyon for 2 km. From here about 700 meters to the steeply falling river. Now, for 1 km and up to the bridge over the river, the main thing is a series of difficult rapids. It is better to study the last eight kilometers of the hike in advance on the spot. Here, from the mouth of the Khalega River, the height difference is approximately 18 meters per kilometer. Calmer water will begin from the bridge, along which it will be possible to raft almost to the dairy farm, which is 3-4 km further from the village of Krasny Karachay. Then the slope on Aksaut increases and during the rafting you will encounter a number of difficult rapids. 7 km downstream of Krasny Karachai, Aksaut from the road will move to the opposite side, where you will wait for rather difficult rapids. A couple of hundred meters below the bridge, one is up to 2 km long, followed by a second. There are large boulders at this place. At this point, the river narrows strongly and enters a narrow canyon up to 300 meters long. After leaving the canyon, rafting along long sections of the rapids. in this area of ​​the river there is a good opportunity to moor to the shore. On the way to the village of Khasaut-Grecheskoe, water tourists will expect the next "steep" rapids. Now Aksaut is partitioned off with boulders almost along its entire width. Further on the forestry, the river is divided into smaller channels and further passage is possible only along big water... In this regard, rafting or water trips on the Aksaut River often end in Khasaut-Grechesky.

Water trips, rafting on the Kuban river. The route most often starts with a drop at 49 km of the Karachaevsk-Uchkulan highway. in this place the rivers Uchkulan and Ullu-Kam are joined together. Starting from the village of Uchkulan, rafting down the Kuban River will take place along a narrow gorge. There are many suspension bridges in this place, so you need to be more careful. Beyond the village of Elbrusky Kuban it is still narrower, in addition the rapids will begin. Behind the place where the Khudee River flows into the Kuban, rapids with meter-long stones will be encountered on the water. On the way to the Red Bridge, there is a difficult roll. A couple of kilometers further, at the suspension bridge, there will be a threshold, which must be treated with the greatest attention. And not reaching 14 km to the city of Karachaevsk, the Aman-Hit (Aman-Nykhyt) canyon will await you. Its length is about 1500 meters. Perhaps this is the most dangerous part of the route during the entire water trip (rafting) on ​​the Kuban River. Large stones, rock debris in the water create foam pits and sharp drains in the Kuban. This is followed by a no less difficult section from the road pillar 36/13 of the Uchkulan-Karachaevsk highway. There are many stone boulders in the riverbed, which suggests a careful study of the area. Then, to the village of Kamennomostsky, there is an alternation of shivers with stones encountered for more than a meter. Further, on the way to Kamennomostsky, the river decreases in width. The next obstacle during the rafting is the so-called "Verkhne Kamennomostsky". On the way, you will see a building with a pipe on the right half a kilometer from the object. We will definitely make a stop and look around. Twenty-five meter rapids with a sharp drop in water, under which there are many stones. We are rafting one more kilometer and on our way there is the Chute rapids. The threshold is a 6-meter drop in height over a length of 70 meters. It is better not to go on kayaks and kayaks here, the possibility of passage only on rafts can be passed on the left side, on the right there are metal structures in the water! After 2 km we pass the Pechka rapids without swimming 1 km to the station. Krasnogorskaya. The Pechka Rapid is a large furnace in the river that you need to dodge. Further, a normal rafting to the village Vazhnoe Kuban, where a reservoir is formed in front of the power plant on the way to the city of Ust-Dzheguta. Then, downstream of Cherkessk, there are shallow water areas.

A water trip along the Kuban River can be lengthened by 10 km due to a section on the Ullu-Kam River. Ullu-Kam refers to the source of the Kuban and up to the Ullu-Khurzuk tributary has a uniform and fast current, on the way only a section below 1 km from the mouth of the Ullu Kam perekaty. The only exception is a twenty meter drop with a lot of pitfalls. Its length is up to 7 km. Before the rafting, a preliminary study is required!

The other day they called. Services of a minibus Gazelle from Nevinnomyssk and Armavir on average from 4 thousand rubles a day. It makes no sense to look for cheaper - drivers are not at all interesting without experience either. It was about the maintenance of rafting on the Aksaut, Teberda and Kuban rivers. There was an idea to throw a cry to the local UAZs in Arkhyz, the village of Zelenchukskaya and so on. But later, an acquaintance enlightened. There they have 1 - 2 hours of excursion around the local district from 3 thousand rubles for a minibus starts. In addition, they have a lot of tension with the Gazelles in the place. And the UAZ "Loaf" is smaller in terms of capacity and worse in terms of amenities.
