Kiseleva Rock is one of the main attractions of the Tuapse region. On Victory Day, after walking around Tuapse, we headed to the Kiseleva Rock.
Probably, almost every resident of Krasnodar considers it his duty to visit the Kiselev Rock at least once.
Why is Skala Kiseleva so famous?

  • Firstly, it is captured in the paintings of the artist Alexander Kiselev, who glorified beauty in his works. Krasnodar Territory and Black Sea coast... In honor of him, the actual Kiseleva Rock is named.

How to get to the Rock of Kiseleva

I know several ways.

1. Walk along the coast from the Tuapse beach, which is located behind the shipyard. The road is not very good (if you can call it a road) and it is stressful to go in the heat. But for those who like hiking, that's the very thing.
2. By boat. Several times a day a motor ship departs from the port of Tuapse and takes tourists to Kiseleva Skala. There you can go ashore, take a walk, swim and take pictures to your heart's content.
The price of a boat trip to Kiselev Rock is from 450 rubles. Children - 300 rubles.


Here is this ship.

3. By car. Before reaching the city of Tuapse, literally two kilometers, you will see an unremarkable drive to the right. Here you can clearly see the photo.


Turn off and drive. Soon you will see the sign "Autocamping Skala Kiseleva".

You can turn off here and stay at the campsite. Or you can drive further and you will also see another race to the right. We turned there. The road, let's face it, is not very good. It is better not to take risks on a passenger car and on bald tires. But if you are an ace driver or an SUV, it is quite possible to drive.


We rolled to the very end of the road. Further, the road turned into a narrow path leading down to the sea. Here we set up a bivouac.


Descent to the sea is not easy. You need to go down very carefully, and not in slippers, but in normal shoes.


The view from the top from the Kiselev Rock is stunning. But you need to admire it too carefully. One wrong move - and goodbye to the sea and the sun!

44.111396 , 39.033104 The camping is located in a very picturesque place, right at the foot of the Kiselev rock. Camping on the Kiselev rock

Camping entrance

The camping is located in a very picturesque place, right at the foot, or rather, it is worth clarifying that the tents are scattered in different places, for example, everyone puts their cars here (you can't move below), many put up their tents right there, and go down to the sea.

If you go a little lower, along the trodden path, then you will find yourself at such a “fork” that leads to the rock itself, and 2 descents to the sea. The right one is steeper, there is even a rope hanging there to facilitate the ascent and descent, and therefore there are much fewer tents.

Better, of course, to go to the left and put up a tent right on the shore:

It should be borne in mind that the descent to the sea is steep and if you want to go down to the sea in the dark, then this is possible only with a lantern and you still need to be careful.
Here is such a staircase that will lead you directly to the beach

There is a warning on the beach that swimming is prohibited due to people drowning. But, of course, everyone swims, while I want to emphasize that the bottom in this place is peculiar, you can swim 20-30 meters and rest against stones, which you can climb to full height and the water will not even reach your knee. Actually in the photographs taken from the rock itself, in this description it is clearly visible by the color of the water.

Here, look at these people



Camping cost

From us for the car “with all the people” they charged 300 rubles per night (mid-August 2014), and the seller asked if it was okay. There was a feeling that bargaining was appropriate in that dialogue. But they didn’t bargain, because wanted to decompose and see the beauty as soon as possible.

Pros:

  • the tent can be put up right by the sea;
  • very beautiful place, the rock of Kiselev will not leave you indifferent;
  • in principle, not a difficult entrance;
  • not expensive camping;

Minuses:

  • not a simple descent to the sea (to set up a tent, it is not necessary to go there, but you will want to swim. I will clarify, not a simple concept is very subjective and someone will fly by and will not notice, and someone will apply efforts, but you have to be prepared for that that it may be inconvenient for someone to go down);
  • dirty, alas, but in August there is a lot of dirt = (If you look, even in the photos you can see heaps of garbage (hello to the pigs who cannot take out the garbage bag behind them). But the dirt is not only from garbage, below, the sea has problems with the toilet, the fact is that the toilet is organized upstairs, of course no one goes upstairs, so a small stream of the hand turned into a toilet right next to the stairs.

Where is the rock in Tuapse?

It is found in the Kadosh forest park, at a distance of 4 km north-west of the district center,. A little to the north of the mountain - 700 m - there is another attraction, which resort visitors often visit.

Historical origins

Its modern name it received in honor of the famous itinerant artist Alexander Alexandrovich Kiselev. The artist's brushes and talent have created such artistic masterpieces of this area as

Today it is a picturesque, mysterious, full of unprecedented beauty natural wealth that amazes the views of the residents of the resort and tourists who come to enjoy this land. The uniqueness of this attraction in Tuapse is added by the fact of its presence in the cinematographic picture of the famous director L.I. Gaidai.

The myth of soaring tears over the mountain

Initially, the hill had a different name, which it received as a result of a legend that walked the earth in ancient times. They say that there once lived the most beautiful girl Gouache with crystal eyes, rose-colored skin and a nightingale's voice. Her family was well-to-do, and she was a bride with a dowry.

And the mutual love of this wondrous girl and the horseman, the groom, Dyshek, has come true. The beautiful woman chose a courageous, hot and courageous groom, but the young man turned out to be a poor man. The father did not approve of the choice of his daughter, locked her under seven locks and found a wealthy 70-year-old husband.

Having found out about this, the daughter decided to run away from the family and made an appointment with her lover on Mount Kiseleva. Dyshek climbed onto his horse and galloped headlong to his beloved. Nevertheless, finding himself at the appointed place, he was immediately detained by papa's servants. One awkward step - and quite by accident the guy flew off the cliff into the abyss.

On his lips was heard only the name of his beloved. After all the evenings, Guache spent at the cliff, but love was so strong that she could no longer live without her lover and threw herself into the abyss after him. The waters buried them, and the hill has been nicknamed the "Rock of Tears" ever since. There is an opinion that in the evenings at the top you can hear the singing of that girl.

First, we will talk a little about the rock, but if the reader still does not guess that he has already been here in absentia, then we will help him remember exactly where he met the Tuapse rock.

Who is Kiselev?

The Kiselev Rock is named after the great Russian landscape painter, Professor Alexander Alexandrovich Kiselev. This man was born in Sveaborg, which today is one of the administrative districts of Helsinki, in 1838. Alexander was a graduate of the Arakcheevsky administrative building, and from 1858 he became a student at St. Petersburg University. In the fall of 1861, student unrest began to occur, so the university was closed. So the future artist became a free student of the Imperial Academy of Arts. Mr. Kiselev worked in the Russian capital, but very often traveled throughout the country. He did this in order to find new landscapes for his canvases, which in the best way reflected the nature of different seasons.

A little later, Alexander began to paint the Caucasian species, which gained incredible success. Among the masterpieces of the author are the paintings "Summer Landscape", "Ukrainian Landscape", "View of the outskirts of Kharkov" and other works. At the beginning of the last century, Alexander Kiselev erected a house in Tuapse, which is now the artist's house-museum.

Rock of tears

Long ago, the rock of Kiselev (Tuapse) was called the rock of tears. And all because of one ancient Adyghe legend. Once upon a time, a young and beautiful girl, Guache, lived in the surrounding areas. She fell in love with a dzhigit, a native of the aul, which was located next to her house. He was named Dyshek. The couple decided to seal their love by marriage. But according to tradition, the groom had to kidnap his bride. At the peak of the cliff near the sea, the very secret place was assigned. The signal for the beginning of the ceremony was supposed to be a fire lit by Gouache. On the night of the abduction, the girl decided to test her beloved one last time. She put a flaming lamp on a log and lowered it into the water. When the guy arrived and saw a floating light, he immediately understood the intentions of his future wife. On horseback, he went down to the sea and swam for a log. The horseman sank deeper and deeper into the sea. The horse was no longer visible, but Dyshek was a strong young man. And if it were not for the heavy chain mail ... The guy swam to the fire, but he could not find the strength to return back.

The girl did not wait for her beloved. Since that time, Guache, who did not become a wife, often and for a long time stood on the edge of the cliff, looking out at her fiancé. She cried bitterly and sang songs. The woman realized that she could not live without her Dysheek and jumped off the cliff into the sea abyss. Water has become a common grave for lovers. And the rock has acquired the name "rock of tears". Rumor has it that from time to time at night from the top of the cliff one can hear crying and sad songs that the girl hums.
