Majestic Natural Wonders

Karachay-Cherkessia encompasses some of the Caucasus Mountains' most dramatic terrain, including the dual peaks of Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest point. This selection features the glacial Alibek Waterfall, the naturally eroded sandstone arch of Gora-kolco, and the high-altitude Zagedan Lakes. Visitors can explore the deep canyons of the Teberda Nature Reserve and viewpoints along the Gumbashi Pass, which offer panoramic vistas of the Greater Caucasus Range and the permanent snowfields of the volcanic massifs.
