Abkhazia - the soul country!

Some years ago I'm was in Abkhazia. This summer I'm try to go there. It has been shaken by the nature of extraordinary beauty, the cleanest sea but practically absence of any services. Abkhazia, in an Abkhazian way Apsny, - the soul country. To reach Abkhazia it is necessary to reach at first to Adler (Russia): either train, or plane. In Adler on a minibus to the Russian-Abkhazian border which is called as Psou. The kind of border does not impress. On all border of only 4 booths (a so-called check point). 

On border with Abkhazia, by the way, anybody checks nothing. It is necessary to pay only the insurance in cost in 10 RUR from the person a day. And the insurance at departure abkhazian don't forget to check up. And if the wrong quantity of days of stay is specified, - you will not let out, yet will not pay in addition!

We get to Abkhazia. From border again on a minibus, but already to whom where: Gagra, Pitsunda, New Athos, Suhum. The Most popular cities for rest is Gagra and Pitsunda. That has shaken in Abkhazia is extraordinary beautiful nature. Through Abkhazia passes the main Caucasian ridge... A lot of the different Here grows: pomegranates, tangerines, a persimmon, water-melons, melons, grapes, a filbert, a fig, etc.

Gagra - the most beautiful place in Abkhazia. In Abkhazia a damp subtropical climate, therefore a heat to transfer there it is heavy.

In a city many the destroyed and not completed buildings which have remained from war of 1991. But the most surprising are mountains.

Have found guide Ashta. He has an own car UAZ - Russian jeep (at them there at all such cars who is engaged in excursions) and carried us. The first trip on the Alpine meadows...
The road was awful. Was more true than it at all. Ashot puts 2nd drive - we go ahead.

Have risen on height of 1850 metres. In some places it was necessary to close eyes - below breakage, and ahead it is ostensibly expensive. But, when have arrived on destination, the kind has opened the shaking.

In mountains there live people in the summer, graze sheep and cows. People live in the sheds upholstered with roofing material. In the winter all brings snow.

Lake Ritsa in mountains at height about 1000 m above sea level.

Further: a mineral source of Audhara – 2 500 m above sea level. Gegsky falls (a stream thawed glaciers form).

Jupsharsky gorge and other very beautiful, very beautiful kinds... And you would pass it the bridge? I have passed!
If not to pay attention to absence of service - from rest in Abkhazia it is possible to receive weight of impressions!
