Beautiful place,but tower was closed-such a shame.. But still beautiful trip 😊

Very nice place. Great view point to see Sochi.

Башня, построенная в 50-х годах XX века на вершине высочайшей прибрежной горы в Сочи. Вход платный - 100 рублей. Замечательный вид и достаточно много людей. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This tower was built in 50-s years of XX century, on top of the highest mountain near coastline. Pass costs 100 rubles. There is stunning view on top of this tower. But too much people though. Cool place, recommended

It was a rainy day, but it didn't affect our mood. The views from the tower are beautiful, and little cloudiness gives them expressiveness. If you have a chance to visit this place, the awnser is totally "yes".

The place is ok and I bet it could be astounding at the right weather, but I couldn't shake the feeling it was not woth it's hype

Amazing view to the downtown. Dont eat at local cafes. Not clean. And also service is disgusting.

It's closed now. The security says it's closed over 2weeks already & cannot say when it will open again. Better check before you go.

Get ready for a major climb. If you are researching this in advance - do watch the weather. The best time to go is when it's dry - rain makes the slopes slippery and treacherous. The nature is absolutely beautiful all around. From the top of the climb you'll be treated to the view of the lakes mountains, and the millions year old breakage of the tectonic plates.

A well-equipped trail in the beautiful forest of box trees and yew trees, mosses and ferns on a slope of a mountain river canyon, easy enough to track with your family. Kids up to three or four years will need to be carried most of the way as there's no way this can be made with a stroller. Older kids and older people can handle it despite lots of ups and downs if they're fit and like exercise. The long trail of about 5 km can take anywhere from two to four hours if you like to make stops and take lots of pictures. On the way you will pass a natural labyrinth, suspended bridges over creeks, platforms overlooking the river canyon, ruins of a castle from the 10th century, the bottom of the mountain river canyon, a cave, some benches and canopies to have a rest and snack on. There is a simple toilet halfway through the track. The short trail of about 2 kilometers can be made within 2 hours max, which I know nothing about. Make sure you come in sneakers, bring your camera, snacks and water in your backpack. It gets pretty hot but there's a lot of shade under the trees. The entrance fee is 300 rubles. There are facilities and a souvenir shop at the entrance center.

Amazing place, tickets cost about 3-4 euros. You can spend here half a day or more, but if you are short in time, 2hrs is still worth visiting. Take good, comfy shoes and swimsuit, if you are willing to take a swim in the small and cold, but beautifull river. I was feeling like in jugle. A lot of beautifull trees and pathways.

Big very green ancient grove. There are 3 routes one after another with different length and difficulty. All are healthy and a bit sporty, but not so hard. Interesting, unique, old forest with moss over all trees. Tracking or mountain shoes very recommended. Perfect place for nature lovers. In the end there are a cafe, grocery store and a stop for taxi and buses if you don't wanna go back.

Fantastic exciting trail that surrounds you with beautiful green nature at it's best! Highly recommended for re-energizing your spirits!

An amazing place to spend a morning. Highly recommended. Start at 9am: it is not crowded, the air is fresh. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The place is situated not far from Sochi. It took us about 30 minutes to get there by car (to take a taxi is also possible). In the grove, I would rather call it a forest, there are two paths to go: a short one for easy walking and a long one with beautiful views, which runs not only through the forest, but also a canyon along the river Hosta. 1. Short track (about 30 min): only forest, good for babies and baby carriages, elderly people who are not ready for long distance s walks. There are a lot of banches to sit on and rubbish bins. 2. Long track (2,5 - 4 h): The nature is beautiful. There are different zones with paths through the forest, transparent streams, the cave, the ancient fortress (a part of it which was left), waterfalls, the way along the river. There are still banches, but not so many. In the middle of the track there is a nice alcove with a table and banches where you can eat the snacks (if you take them with, there are no shops) and the toilet (we haven't noticed it at first). There is one more alcove near the river, you will notice the sign. For children under 7 y.o. this route will be difficult and dangerous. ATTENTION! It is better to visit the place in the morning/afternoon, 3 - 4 hours before it gets dark, as in the evening you won't be allowed to enter the grove.
