#AmazingRussia 🇷🇺 The Valley of Ghosts in Crimea

👻One of the most mystical places in Russia is considered the Valley of Ghosts on the coast of Crimea.

👻In the Valley there are more than a hundred stone pillars of different sizes. All these figures resemble people, animals and various objects. During the daylight hours when the lighting changes, the same natural sculpture at different times resembles different images.

👻Like all mysterious places, the Valley has its own legend. During the wars, the ruthless nomads came to the Demerdzhi Mountain and were so impressed with the peak that they decided to build a huge forge on it. Here they forged swords for warriors, and the eternally burning fire in the depths of the mountain dried its slopes and water sources. Only the young girl dared to ask the leader to put out the flames. But instead of an answer, the death by his dagger awaited her. At that moment, boulders rolled down the slopes, everything around disappeared behind a veil of smoke, and instead of nomads, stone figures were left frozen forever.

👻Some tourists stay overnight in the "land of unclean powers" and tell of visions. Some believe that the Valley of Ghosts is a place of power, which gives energy. That’s why, freestanding stones were often the object of worship in ancient times.

#AmazingRussia 🇷🇺 Altai. Tavda Caves.

🪨 Tavda caves are one of the most visited places in Altai. The caves are more than 1 million years old. Archeologists' findings show that people lived here during the Iron and Bronze Ages. Let's tell you why you should visit this spectacular place.

We advise you to start with the most popular cave — Bolshaya Tavdinskaya, which is also called "Maiden's Tears". This romantic name is explained by the fact that even during the dry summer you can see streams of water flowing down the walls here.

🌳 From the Big Cave it is possible to get to other caves through numerous tunnels and passages.

The second most popular cave in the complex is called "Tavdinskaya-2". From the upper part of the stone caves there is an exit to the observation deck, from which you can enjoy the view of the Katun River and the mountains.

🏞 It is also necessary to visit the Talda Karst Arch, located at a height of 80 meters. This arch is a part of a collapsed cave. This natural monument is considered magical: according to legend, if you walk around the arch pillar three times clockwise, any wish will come true.
