Goryachy Klyuch in winter: Healing park. Salvation Rock. Dante's Gorge. Hot Key Guide
When you want peace and fresh air - the best option go for the weekend and take a walk in the park of the city of Goryachiy Klyuch. From Krasnodar, drive along the M-4 Don highway for about 55 km. We usually park the car at the Old Castle Hotel, cross the bridge over the Psekups River and there it is - park area of the city of Goryachiy Klyuch. And you slowly begin to wander along the shady alleys, where there are many plants and trees, since the park is practically adjacent to the forest, as if merging with it, sit on benches, wander along the paths, listen to the chirping of birds.
In the center of the park there is a Mineral Glade, next to it there are wells of local sources of mineral water, which from here flows into the Drinking Gallery and the Hydropathic Hospital. Drinking gallery: you buy cups at the entrance (ordinary plastic ones, although you can bring your own if they are available). There are taps with warm mineral water and cold ones, they are also divided into salted and unsalted. You can drink as much as you like - water is free, many people pour it into bottles with them - but as far as I know, natural mineral water quickly loses its medicinal properties.
Let's go further: we see a small chapel built in honor of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. It is carved directly into the rock - and blends very harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. On Fridays at 11.00 there is an Akafest (church service) in front of the icon of the Mother of God of the same name - so go for it, it will count in heaven.
Nearby is the healing Iveron spring (ferruginous mineral water) - illumination in the name of the healer Panteleimon. Feel free to drink this water, and drink a lot - there are rumors that by drinking a bucket, you can miraculously rejuvenate.
I recommend wandering around Dante’s Gorge - a very beautiful combination of nature and modern “rock painting”. People tried to immortalize their names, love stories, sacred symbols, even not only their own portraits, but also the faces of their leaders in stone. In general, there is something to look at, and if you wish, I think you won’t be able to resist scribbling a message for history with something.
There is also a historical landmark (for retro lovers) - the Adyghe Pillar. It is made from a fragment of a Byzantine column and is decorated with inscriptions in Arabic carved into the stone. Installed long ago for eternal memory a certain Khapach Lakshuk, one of the most famous heroes of the Bzhedukho tribe (I think this will be enough information for ordinary people).
For connoisseurs of natural beauty: the Psekups River and the Cockerel Rock - a sheer cliff of 28 meters. The top of the rock consists of six teeth, reminiscent of a cockscomb. It is visible from the Don highway. Not Elbrus, of course, but it’s good for contemplation.
The rock has two small caves(Ringing and Rescue). Between them is the steep Staircase of Life, carved out of stone. From the Rock of Salvation (Cockerel) there is a beautiful view of the valley of the Psekups river.
I won’t write about all sorts of arches - monuments, shops - sanatoriums, let it be a surprise for you. But I strongly recommend visiting this park - you’ll drink plenty of mineral water, light some candles, and get your fill - it’s still good for your health.
fluger19 — 15.04.2012As I already told you, we have a tradition - in spring and autumn we go for a walk to the lovely town of Goryachiy Klyuch. I talked about the autumn walk
The weather whispered that it was time to go to the spring promenade. So the “rooks” flew off. And they successfully landed on the arch of the resort’s 140th anniversary.
A bit of useful theory. Yesterday I looked at city maps on the Internet - quality card Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any indicating the main points of interest. Therefore, I chose the most decent one.
And a note for memory: your landmarks for the walk are Lenin Street and the Caucasus Foothills sanatorium. At the sanatorium the map is interrupted, but we must move on. All the “raisins” are behind him. If you arrived by car, then “Pedgorye” has parking (paid). If you categorically protest against the commercialism of parking attendants, fill one of the “pockets” to the “Piedmountain”. In any case, check-in from Psekupskaya Street. Here and further only own experience. Is there another? I ask you not to be greedy, but to share with the suffering people.
So, we park the cars at “Pedgorye” and move to Lenin Street. I take out my camera to the sarcastic comment “He’s taking out his murder weapon.” This is the traditional start to a most pleasant walk.
At the sanatorium "Caucasus Foothills".
We could have gone straight, but we went right. We need to diversify the route somehow.
Solarium. For now it's like a picnic spot.
Resort secrets. Here they are, tanks with dirt and other valuables.
“Zones” are different. Including these.
So, we can say “gardens”, having paraded along the Psekups River in an unimproved form, we come out to the square near the Drinking Gallery. All roads lead here. Not Rome, but still.
The bearing of October-pioneer childhood. They can walk in formation unconsciously...
In the drinking gallery. Mineral water is drunk from plastic disposable cups. Resort mugs with a spout are a thing of the past.
You can also bring your own container. That's it, the whole family.
Someone is encroaching on my oxygen cocktail. I asked you to just hold it!
Everything is for sale. Even dirt) Overseas, brought from Yeisk.
Let's move on. One of the new products recent years– a mobile guide indicating the phone number and attractions to visit. All of them are located nearby, and three (maximum four) hours will be enough to cover the entire list.
In order not to spoil the eyesight of our dear readers, I am relaying the list:
- Rock of Salvation;
- Dante's Gorge;
- Chapel in honor of the Iveron Mother of God;
- Monument to Mineral Water;
- Arch in honor of the 50th anniversary of the resort;
- Man-made bath;
- Source of St. Panteleimon;
- Arch of the 140th anniversary of the resort;
- Triumphal Arch of the 145th anniversary of the resort;
- Adyghe pillar;
- An ancient water storage tank;
- Psyfabe Fortress.
We'll get to some of them today. In the meantime, to the embankment. To the Happy Bridge over the Psekups River.
In passing, on the way.
Bridge railing. It was as if there was some love-struck Twitter user with no access to the Internet and couldn’t resist leaving a little tweet.
It's time to charge up and scare passersby. In general, the ladies are all serious, career, subordinate. But on vacation they strive to climb somewhere.
Or depict a poster for the series “Sex and the City.”
Psekups, Psekups-river. Stormy and wide. Relatively, of course. After the rains it's so muddy. On the left is the same Rock of Salvation, or in common parlance “Cockerel”.
Now about the bridge. On the opposite side of the bridge, near the federal highway leading to the sea, you can see this sign.
And here, an entrepreneur who built a bridge and a nice embankment along the river at her own expense, talks about the problems she encountered in connection with such a wonderful initiative. This is not funny at all. We need to say thank you to this person, and not open crazy criminal cases.
Thanks to the Happy Bridge, people returning from the sea can easily and quickly get to all the main attractions of Goryachy Klyuch. Without going into the city, just stop at the Old Castle Hotel and cross the river on the pedestrian bridge.
View from the bridge to the opposite bank. That's where we came from.
This is where trouble happened to me. Bicycle race participants raced along the federal highway, but I didn’t have time to run up and take a photo of them. How beautifully they raced! I was content with only the escort shot.
The same hotel “Old Castle”, the view is not great. Good hotel. The restaurant is so-so, but sleeping in the hotel is very pleasant. As in "Charming Meadow". This is a whole recreation complex located further along the federal highway, around the turn to Fanagoriyskaya. There are gazebos, picnic tables, and fishing.
An entire army of puppies jumped out from the depths of the woodpile. As a worker from the hotel said, there are as many as six puppies here. Their mother is from the “people”, but their father is of some blue blood. Of course, puppies leave no one indifferent.
Here's another one crawling out. Eh, we woke you up...
By face and behavior - the smartest.
Before us is the Rock of Salvation (aka “Cockerel”) in spring decoration.
Olya talks, Natasha listens attentively:
“One of the most famous natural monuments of the Caucasus. The rock was once called "Salvation Rock". Located on western slope Abadzekh Mountain, on the Psekups River, on the outskirts of the resort town of Goryachiy Klyuch. Height is about 28 meters. The rock was created by the “persistence” of the Psekups River, which for millions of years, rounding the Abadzekh Mountain on its way, cut off its southern side. This is how an almost vertical cliff was born. The top of the rock consists of six teeth (another one, the seventh, collapsed into the river at night in the last century) and resembles a cockscomb. It is visible from the Don highway. The rock has two small caves (Zvonkaya and Salvation). Between them is the steep Staircase of Life, carved out of stone. From the Rock of Salvation (Cockerel) there is a beautiful view of the valley of the Psekups River and the wooded spurs of the Pshaf ridge.” How does Olya know about this? from here As well as about many other things.
Olya, come to your senses, it’s still too early to swim!
The so-called “Mineral Glade”. In ancient times, it was here that the most abundant natural outcrops of Psekupskie were located. mineral waters. Next to them, people dug holes in the ground and filled them with hot healing water. And they were treated as best they could. Then these places were landscaped, water from the springs was diverted through pipes closer to the resort. A monument to “living water” was erected in the center of the clearing.
On the left is the source of St. Panteleimon, on the right is the Chapel in honor of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. Right on course - the same thing Dante's Gulch.
Dante's Gorge. Yes, it was named after that same Dante Alighieri. The gorge was created by nature and people. Nature divided the mountain slopes with this narrow hundred-meter rocky gap (depth up to 15 meters). In the 70s of the nineteenth century, people cut down a stone Dante's staircase along the bottom of the gorge and improved the clearing in front of the entrance (the springs in these places were swampy, the view of these places was far from resort-like, plus mosquitoes). Gradually, due to the destruction of rocks under the influence of the local Key Creek, snow and frost, the gorge became a little deeper and wider.
People decorated the walls with drawings.
Don't forget to consider the mermaid. On the wall.
Or you can do it like this.
At the source of St. Panteleimon.
“The source of ferruginous mineral water, accessible to all visitors to the Healing Park, was consecrated in 1995 in the name of the healer Panteleimon. It is located on the slope of a mountain in the Mineral Glade area. This facility is especially popular among vacationers; many believe that the spring water rejuvenates the body. Every year on August 9, water blessing prayers are held at this source.”
This is not the only source named after Panteleimon in our region. I talked about the source in the Mikhailo-Athos desert (in the mountains of Adygea) earlier
Officialities: “In 2009, in the anniversary year of the 145th anniversary of the resort, the entrance group to the Mountain Healing Park was erected ( Triumphal Arch) is a beautiful architectural structure in the style of a traditional jubilee arch. This ensemble is installed next to the hydropathic clinic, at the entrance to the area of the resort embankment and Mineral Glade, which undoubtedly emphasizes the importance of preserving the traditions of Goryachiy Klyuch and decorates the resort park with another attraction.”
Arch in honor of the 50th anniversary of the resort.
Officialities, for the last time for today: “An architectural monument of the 20th century. The arch was erected in 1914 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Goryachiy Klyuch resort in the Healing Park (it was then called Sanatorium) not far from the Drinking Gallery. Height is about five meters.
At the base of the square columns, united by an openwork metal lintel, based on the plot of an ancient painting about these places, figures of two lions were made and installed on massive slabs. They rest their front paws on the fallen boars. According to the authors, this means a symbolic victory of health over disease.
On the columns of the arch there are dates: “1864” and “1914” (before the revolution, the entrance to the park was here, later the park was expanded towards the center of Goryachiy Klyuch). The statues of lions tormenting defeated boars were erected after the Great Patriotic War.”
An important thing is a lecture on TV series and new films. It’s not just from LJ to learn about this.
Just fooling around is just as important.
Or gawk at the local cats. Mr. Smith. Only blondes.
After such a walk, you need to eat. There is a proven, recognized place. We often meet Krasnodar friends there.
This is "Tavern". We leave Goryachiy and drive towards Krasnodar. We drive a few kilometers away from the city and see her on the opposite side of the highway.
There is a rush in the parking lot, as usual on weekends.
They have a lot of delicious things here. If this is your first time, try pea soup in bread. Only as soon as they brought it. Otherwise, the entire soup will quickly be absorbed into the loaf of black bread in which it is, in fact, placed. This is such fun. Or indulge in fishing. If you still have strength left after the walk.
Let me clarify again. This post contains only my own experience. Please do not consider any mention of hotels and eating establishments as advertising.
Go for a walk. Hot Key is good now.
Healing Park- a place where I like to go when I want peace, I want to listen to the birds singing, and breathe fresh air. It is located on the M4 highway, in a resort town Hot key. Local residents believe that they live in a paradise of the country. The air here is truly fabulous. We come here at least four times a year for drinking water, buy packages from the store at the Goryacheklyuchevskaya mineral water plant and enjoy the natural crystal water.
Water is a useful part of our trip, and a pleasant part is the Healing Park. Here the soul rests, the lungs take in clean forest air. I want to come back here again and again to see the mysterious Dante’s Gorge overgrown with moss, climb the Rock of Salvation or admire the Psekups River from the Happy Bridge... And once again be convinced that the best artist on Earth is Nature.
One February day, when the bright sun was shining in the blue sky in Krasnodar, and everything reminded us of the approaching spring, it was decided to replenish our water supplies and take a walk through the Healing Park.

We leave the city, 50 kilometers along the highway towards the Black Sea, and we are at the fork to Goryachiy Klyuch. The weather that day was +2. Winter. Snow. The sun hid as soon as the mountains appeared...
Goryachy Klyuch is a small town, very green, remote from industrial centers and the negative consequences of civilization.
The geographical location only adds advantages to it: forest, Caucasian foothills, mineral springs. One way is 50 kilometers - Krasnodar, the other - 50 kilometers - the Black Sea (Dzhubga).
I didn’t explore the city for sightseeing (I didn’t set such a goal). What I like about Goryachy Klyuch is the “Alley of 1000 Pines”, Pitsunda pine grows over two kilometers. It leads to the Healing Park from the city side. AND Swan Lake with spring water. True, I rarely saw swans.
We leave the city and enter the park from the M4 highway. If you are heading to the Black Sea or are already tanned and rested returning home, I recommend stopping for a couple of hours at this interesting place. Your guide will be restaurant and hotel complex "Old Castle". There is ample free parking on both sides of the highway with a pedestrian crossing.
The territory of the “Old Castle” is well-groomed, with fountains, mills, beautiful view on Salvation Rock, children's playground. On weekends it is always crowded.
We pass by souvenir shops and a beekeeper’s honey shop (by the way, the honey there is very tasty and there are good herbs) on Happy Bridge across the Psekups River, which leads to the park.
During the warmer months, you can rent a catamaran and admire the views from the river. Many people on the Happy Bridge take photographs Salvation Rock, also called Cockerel. On the crest of the rock there is a platform with a gazebo, from where beautiful views of the Psekups River valley open from a height of 28 meters. The water in the river has a special green color; in this place it is rich in hydrogen sulfide.
Walking around the Healing Park is a pleasure. Even in winter we admire the flower beds. More than a hundred have been planted here rare species plants. Near the building sanatorium "Caucasus Foothills" and near the “White Obelisk” you can see Ginkgo - this is a long-living tree, growing up to 1400 years. Dinosaurs also feasted on the seeds of a medicinal plant. There are not many of these trees left on the planet. You can find ginkgo in Japan, southern China and the Krasnodar region. Also, let me tell you a secret, moths really don’t like the smell of dry leaves of this tree.
On the territory of the Healing Park there are several sanatoriums that use unique mineral water for treatment and restoration of health, combining the healing properties of the Essentuki drinking springs and the hydrogen sulfide waters of Matsesta. But that’s not what my review is about, so I won’t go into details.
Opposite the hydropathic clinic there is a drinking gallery. There is water out of three thermal springs seven types, different in chemical composition and temperature. Next to the drinking pump rooms there is a sanatorium employee who can advise which water will be healthier for you. We go to the herbal bar to enjoy oxygen and pectin cocktails.
We didn’t pass by the Pigeon Restaurant and stocked up some treats for the birds: raisins and sunflower seeds.
We also have a little tradition! Every time, after walking along the alleys of the park, we come to the “Baking” kiosk and buy pies.
We especially liked the khamirs with cheese and mushrooms.
Everything is fresh and hot, they are baked nearby in the “Oriental Kitchen”. If you order in a cafe, you will have to wait 40 minutes. Local residents highly praise manti, pilaf, samsa, and shurpa.
Gazebos for relaxation.
Caskets with souvenirs.
We also like to walk in the mountainous part of the Healing Park.
The heart of the park - Mineral glade, located at the foot of Mount Abadzekhskaya. There are wells of mineral water sources on it.
The only one in the world Monument to mineral water in the form of an obelisk.
Very beautiful Chapel of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. Carved into the rock in the 19th century next to a healing spring. The chapel is operational, you can light candles.
Amazing place - picturesque Dantovo (Hot) Gorge, is a fracture in the rock with steps cut out.
The rock is soft, so everything is modern rock art, you can meet mermaids, declarations of love, poems.

Within the city of Goryachiy Klyuch, on the right bank of the Psekups River, rises Klyuchevaya Mountain - a low rocky formation, cut by caves and gorges, shrouded in fragrant pine forests. Here, at the foot of the mountain, healing springs gush out from under centuries-old sandstone layers - the world famous mineral springs of the Hot Spring. The foot of the Klyuchevaya (or, as it is also called, Abadzekh) mountain is rightly called the “constellation of springs” of the Hot Gorge. The oldest among them - the Alexander Spring - is actually considered the ancestor of the resort and the root cause of its foundation.
Not far from the Alexander Spring there are other attractions of Goryachiy Klyuch: the Psyfabe fortress, Dante's Gorge, the Cockerel rock, the Mineral Glade, the Valley of Enchantment and others.
Residents of the Northern and Western Caucasus have long appreciated the healing properties of the Alexander Spring. Moreover, the local “living water” was known far beyond Asia. Thus, the ancient Greeks, for example, as a sign of gratitude for healing, left coins and jewelry at the foot of the mountain, which have been preserved to this day. Medicinal properties The waters were also used by numerous tribes that lived here in different times: Hittites, Fatians, Khazars and others.
In the first half of the 19th century, an infirmary and a public bathhouse were built at the foot of Abadzekh Mountain. Soon after this - on June 15, 1864 - the grand opening of the hydropathic clinic took place. All sources were consecrated, and the largest of them: Aleksandrovsky and Mikhailovsky were named accordingly. The newly created health resort practiced balneotherapy - treatment with mineral waters. In fact, from that moment on, the massive use of medicinal Psekup waters began.
Meanwhile, not everyone could get to the health resort. Only representatives of the Cossack class and, with rare exceptions, some wealthy citizens were treated here. Commoners continued to steam in the bath’s drains, often earning themselves new diseases instead of healing.
Later, the hydropathic clinic expanded into a military hospital, and at the beginning of the 20th century it was transformed into the first sanatorium. Currently, there are about two dozen such establishments in Goryachy Klyuch, including reputable medical institutions, and small private health resorts. The magical waters of the Alexander Spring treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system, digestive, respiratory, nervous systems and a host of other diseases. And besides, the local nature also has a beneficial effect: it is both good for health and pleasant to the soul. Not far from the Alexander Spring there are other attractions of Goryachiy Klyuch: Psyfabe fortress, Dante's Gorge, Cockerel rock, Mineral glade, Valley of Enchantment and others.
How to get there
Getting to the Alexander Spring is quite easy. It is located less than ten kilometers from railway station not far from the Goryachiy Klyuch sanatorium in the western tip of the city. The sanatorium is the final stop public transport: buses reach here from almost any part of the city, in particular from the station. You can also take the Goryachiy Klyuch - Tuapse Pass electric train, which, by the way, runs through the Valley of Enchantment.

Like most cities on the left bank of the Kuban, Goryachy Klyuch was founded in the middle of the century before last (1864). Moreover, it was immediately a resort and health resort. The city of Goryachy Klyuch owes its birth to mineral springs, which were used for healing thousands of years ago.
Goryachy Klyuch is a resort town, famous both in our country and abroad. One of the main therapeutic agents is thermal mineral waters - hydrogen sulfide, chloride-hydrocarbonate-calcium-sodium. An exceptional feature is their high temperature - the main sources used for external use come to the surface of the earth with a temperature of 37 to 60 degrees.
Goryachiy KlyuchGoryachiy KlyuchGoryachiy Klyuch is the only place in Russia where the healing factors of Essentuki drinking mineral waters and hydrogen sulfide baths of the Sochi-Matsesta type are combined. The effect of drinking mineral waters is undeniable. The living water of the Psekup deposit returns people ease of movement, cleanliness of the skin, restores the functions of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, gives the joy of motherhood, and has a rejuvenating effect on the entire body.
Rock "Salvation" ("Cockerel").
One of the most famous natural monuments of the Caucasus. The rock was once called "Salvation Rock". It is located on the western slope of Abadzekh Mountain, on the Psekups River, on the outskirts of the resort town of Goryachiy Klyuch. Height is about 28 meters.
The rock was created by the “persistence” of the Psekups River, which for millions of years, rounding the Abadzekh Mountain on its way, cut off its southern side. This is how an almost vertical cliff was born.
The top of the rock consists of six teeth (another one, the seventh, collapsed into the river at night in the last century) and resembles a cockscomb. It is visible from the Don highway in the Goryachiy Klyuch area.
The rock has two small caves ("Zvonkaya" and "Salvation"). Between them is the steep “Staircase of Life”, carved out of stone. From the Rock of "Salvation" ("Cockerel") there is a beautiful view of the valley of the Psekups River and the wooded spurs of the Pshaf ridge.
Dante's Gorge.
An unusual natural monument at the foot of Abadzekh Mountain. Marvelous a nice place in the Healing Park of the city of Goryachy Klyuch. The gorge was created by nature and people.
Nature divided the mountain slopes with this narrow hundred-meter rocky gap (depth up to 15 meters). In the 70s of the nineteenth century, people cut down a stone “Dante’s” staircase along the bottom of the gorge and improved the clearing in front of the entrance. Gradually, due to the destruction of rocks under the influence of the local Key Creek, snow and frost, the gorge became a little deeper and wider.
"Dante's" Gorge is named after the Italian poet, thinker and scientist of the Renaissance, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). His poem "Comedy", called "Divine" by descendants, depicts the poet's journey through the afterlife.
"Mineral" glade.
A picturesque area in the Hot Gorge area between Abadzekhskaya and Kurortnaya mountains in the Healing Park at the entrance to the “Dantovo” gorge.
In ancient times, it was here that the most abundant natural outlets of the Psekup mineral waters were located. Next to them, people dug holes in the ground, filled them with hot healing water, and were treated.
Then these places were landscaped, water from the springs was diverted through mineral water pipes closer to the Goryachiy Klyuch resort. The Iveron Chapel was built at the foot of the mountain. A monument to “living water” was erected in the center of the clearing.
Monument to mineral water.
The only monument in the world in honor of healing “living” water. Built in 1914 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the development of Psekup mineral waters.
The obelisk is located on the Mineral Glade at the foot of the Abadzekh Mountain next to the Iveron Chapel. In 2007, this monument was restored, it was again crowned with a double-headed eagle, and the names of “all those who worked on creating the resort” appeared on the side faces of the stele.
Chapel in honor of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God.
By decision of the Ecumenical Council in 672, the lands of the Circassians were attached to the Mtskheta diocese (Georgia). Under Emperor Justinian, the Circassians joined Orthodoxy. Hence the veneration of the Iveron Icon, which, according to the Orthodox, helps in healing from illnesses.
The chapel is located at the foot of the Abadzekh (Klyuchevaya) Mountain, not far from the right bank of the Psekups River. It was attached to a stone grotto in the second half of the 19th century next to the healing Iversky spring. It operated until the twenties of the last century, gave local residents Goryachy Klyuch and holy water for pilgrims. But then, as a result of the shifting of mountain layers, the water left. Only a bowl in the shape of a sea shell remained as a reminder of the blessed spring. And a chapel.
Every week on Fridays at eleven o'clock an akathist (a special solemn service) is performed in it before the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. It is located in the central niche of the chapel. On both sides of it are icons with the faces of the Savior and saints. Everyone can come here with a request to the Most Holy Theotokos for intercession, with gratitude for the recovery.
