* Reserve route No. 8 "Through the mountains to the sea". This is one of the most beautiful, sought-after and beloved hiking routes of the Caucasian Nature Reserve. It is ideal for beginners and young tourists. The trail of the route is marked, equipped with signs, canopies for parking and places for making bonfires. The route passes through the valley and often along the banks of the Malaya Laba River, crossing the Main Caucasian Ridge and reaching its southern slopes, descending further to the Black Sea, changing several climatic zones. Well-packed trail, minimally equipped parking spots. We are moving at a low altitude in the Alpine zone. In this hike, the severity and all the reserved beauty of the Caucasus nature are fully revealed. The entire route passes through the territory of the Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve. Mountain peaks, alpine meadows, caves, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, mineral springs, mountain slopes covered with beech, hornbeam and chestnut forests, as well as plants and animals listed in the Red Book – all this will become available to you during the hike. Yes, you will have to spend several days in conditions unusual for urban residents – mountainous terrain, complete lack of communication, lack of communal amenities, unusual diet, physical exertion (participants carry personal belongings, some food and group equipment in a backpack). But all these inconveniences are more than compensated for by the beauty of the pristine nature around you, the purest mountain air and communication with people close to you in spirit. Overnight stays in tents. You have everything you need in your backpack. While you are still full of energy and your hearts are open to the beautiful, catch a fair wind and go on adventures! For beginners and experienced tourists. Walking distance: 65 km. Maximum climb: 1600m. The optimal number of days: 5. Group size: 6-15 people. Difficulty: medium.

The most beautiful places that we will pass on this day are the Bolshye and Malye Balkany ridges, as well as Lake Zaprudnoye, which resulted from a mudflow that dammed Malaya Laba in the Koptseva Gulch area.

At the intersection of the spurs of the Small and Large Balkans, the trail zigzags upward from the riverbank. The path here is carved right into the rocks.

On this day, it is necessary to overcome the Aishkho pass. The trail from the Chistaya River to the Aishkha Pass (2401.5 m above sea level) stretches a little over 7 km.
