Земной шар удивляет нас постоянно.Despite the Internet, which provides the sea with information about any corner of the planet, new surprises are constantly arising. There is something that no one has ever known. And how many people who do not know about the "untwisted" natural miracles! This is understandable. The information flow is so dense that a person begins to "drown" in it, and therefore, to brush aside the secondary, at the moment not important.
We proceed from the fact that a person only vaguely remembersthis phrase, and with what to connect it, does not represent. He realizes that this is not a mountain, but a pond - Lake Ritsa. Where is, has no clue. To find this object, you will need a Eurasia map.
The Caucasus is not a whole, that is, its territory is dividedseveral states. If you are looking for a pond on a political map (where countries are marked with different colors), then you will have to podnapryachsya. The fact is that the lake is in Abkhazia.
Regardless, from which point of the planet will you begintravel, you will be comfortable to fly to Sochi airport. Although closer to go from Gagra or Sukhumi (Abkhazia). In principle, it does not really matter. All the Black Sea cities are connected by good roads. The way to the lake begins with the M-27 highway. You need to get to the river Bzyb. From this point turn into the mountains.
Local people are proud of their land. Just visiting him, you understand why. From the turn from the seaside highway to the pond thirty-eight kilometers. Believe me, this is the way of enjoyment.
Tourists are advised to take with themselves warm clotheseven in the summer. The fact is that the road lies among steep cliffs, dense forests. Sunny will not always pamper you with her warmth on the road. And the mountains are not desert. The higher, the lower the temperature. Therefore, a storm or a thin sweater will not be superfluous, especially if you went on a journey with children. Somewhere in the middle of the road you will drive into the park. Have to pay for the pleasure. The amount is small - fifty rubles. But you need to keep this in mind when you are going.
If you are hypnotized by a mountain miracle, thenleaving him immediately is not necessary. Rest on Lake Ritsa is organized. Iosif Vissarionovich liked to spend a rare weekend here. And he knew a lot about rest. Ask the local, they will show you Stalin's dacha. There is now a museum. It can be visited to have an idea of how the Leader of the Peoples lived, for which he was loved in the Caucasus. But the surrounding nature is of greater interest. Many believe that this crystal air is better than any medicine. And, unlike doctors and medicines, he heals complexly, affecting not only the body, but also the soul.
Leave the life and the whirlwind of problems beyond the bordersparka. And here is the place of contact with the eternity and depth of nature. The mere contemplation of the contrast of magnificent mountains and deep waters will heal from depression and other "vices" of the modern world. But do not stop at the views. Try local food. It is simple, but very useful. In cafes you will be offered goat cheese, meat and greens. The combination is more beneficial to the body than fast food along with tablets. Once arrived, then "sit" on local products. Feel that your body has become lively, easy. Truly after a few days it is believed that a person can live more than two hundred years. Be sure to go fishing! Here is a magnificent underwater world. Get a lot of fun!
Such an amazing place could not but drawattention of people's singers. From the mouth of the guide you can find out how, according to the local beliefs, Lake Ritsa emerged. The legend describes a beautiful girl whose name now bears a pond. She was beautiful, like a fairy tale, kind and cheerful. She lived with three brothers who were engaged in hunting and sang in the evenings by the fire. Once the young people were late for dinner.
Many more wonderful stories can tell youhospitable hosts of the region. Their difference is the depth and purity of the moral foundation laid down in every legend. The locals are open, like the smooth surface of a lake, harsh as mountains. With friends are friendly and kind, like a stormy subtropical vegetation. To enemies are merciless, like naked sheer cliffs. Anyone who has learned the charm of this region, always comes back here for a healing gulp of calm eternity, helping to live in an uneasy modern world.
