When the asphalt road ends and the minibus turns to the right, then from there to the “Voroshilov battery” sign it takes about five minutes to drive. Just as much time - and the bus will take you to the turn to the bay of New Dzhigit and a fork. There you should turn left and in twenty minutes enter the forest. Another half hour on foot along the path, and then through the reeds - and you are already in the bay of Karpinsky. From there, along the rocky coast, contemplating the surrounding beauty, you get to the right place.
