Krymsky District Shugo Mud Volcano The Shugo Mud Volcano is known to be the biggest mud volcano in Russia and the most impressive and unusual one in its district. It's no coincidence that it's included in all the guides of Taman, Kuban and the Northern Caucasus as a unique natural land- mark. Labinsky District Round Lake The Round Lake in the area of the Gornoye village of the Akhmetovskoye settlement is located 6 km to the South-East to the Akhmetovskaya stanitsa, on the Black Sea Range, at the height of 790 m, at the bottom of a deep karst funnel. The sizes of the lake are 240 x 123 m, and its depth is up to 18 m. It's fed with underground and headwaters. Water is transparent, and the bottom can be seen at the depth of up to 6 m. There are two very beautiful caves and arcs next to the lake, and on the op- posite slope from the Gorny settlement there is a spring with clear mild mineral water.

It's located on the border of the Mostovsky Dis- trict of the Krasnodar Region and the Republic of Adygeya. The height is 2,368 m. It's a typical cuesta with a mild grassy northern slope and rocky walls in the South and in the West. From the South the Bolshoi Tkhach Mountain resembles a medi- eval Gothic castle. Residents of the Dakhovskaya stanitsa (Sakhray settlement) call it the Bald Moun- tain. 'Tkhach' means 'god' in Adygei. Otradnensky District Valley of the Urup River According to a geologist, the valley of the Urup River is a honey pot with reserves of limestone, gypsum, shell gravel, sandstone; where oil, natural gas, rock salt, outflows of mineral and sulfurous wa- ters, as well as therapeutic muds have been found. Exotic horse riding tours can be arranged to visit the medieval Ilyichevskoye settlement, as well as 2-3 day-long cycling and motor trips with visits to interesting natural sites: the First Window and the Second Window Rocks, the Baranakh Mountain, the Urup Canyon with multiple caves and a crag of Laptiev Shpil, picturesque karst lakes, such as the Rogozhinskoye Lake and the Black Lake. These sites can be of interest for fans of technical sports as well, since the intersected country provides an opportunity for holding exciting and spectacular auto- and motor cross competitions, hang-gliding and model aircraft construction, etc. Krasnodar Region Primorsko-Akhtarsky District Local History Museum The building of the museum was built by Malyshev, a merchant of the early 20th century (roughly 1913) to be used for grain storage. There were warehous- es and a mill in the yard; gates were used to let freight vehicles in (horse wagons in particular, since a staple for horses to be hitched has remained on the right side). Today the Local History Museum features extensive compositions that tell visitors the story of the Primorsko-Akhtarsky District. Indian Lotus Plantation There are two plantations of Indian lotuses on the territory of the Primorsko-Akhtarsky District. Exotic flowers delight the locals and tourists every year. They came into blossom in 1952 for the first time. A small plantation is situated within a few kilometres to the North from the city, in the Sadki Reserve, and the second large plantation in the Zamaraikun Liman. Temryuksky District Blue Beam Volcano The volcano is situated 10 km from the Golubitska- ya stanitsa, in the Za Rodinu settlement. Mud vol- canos are a landmark of the Taman Peninsula. The Blue Beam Volcano is a small mud lake people im- merse themselves to improve their health. There's a shower, dressing rooms and a cafe on the coast of the Sea of Azov nearby. Rotten Mountain Volcano (Hephaestus) It's a whole chain of mud volcanos on the Rotten Mountain on the outskirts of Temryuk. The height of some volcanos reaches 3 meters. The mud cures neurological diseases, radiculitis, etc. After a dip in the mud basin or a mud lake one can get a tangi- ble cosmetic effect. There's a cafe, parking and a shower at the bottom of the mountain. The volca- no is situated on the way out of Temryuk towards Slavyansk-on-Kuban. Flowers of lotuses are incredibly beautiful, they rise higher than leaves on their thin stems. The season ends at the end of August. Every flower can blossom no more than 4 days. Amazing flowers come into blossom at first light and during the day as by magic; they change their colour several times from purple to pale pink shades. Yasenskaya Spit - Yasenskaya Spit is a sand spit located on the eastern coast of the Sea of Azov, between the Yasensky Bay and the Beisug Liman. It starts to the North of Morozovsky Khutor and reaches out to the Yasenskaya Crossing. The Yasenskaya Spit is 14 km of unique sand beaches that are notable for their natural cleanness, shallow depths of the sea which is convenient for people with children, so they attract multiple fans of camping. Ataman Exhibition Complex The ethnic and cultural complex is spread out on the outskirts of the Taman stanitsa. The area of 20 ha comprises peasant houses of a blacksmith, a shoemaker, and a winemaker, as well as a mill, a chapel, a victualling house, watchtowers and even a Cossack fire station. Here one can witness how the Cossacks who moved to Kuban more than 200 years ago used to live. Golubitskoye Mud Lake The size of the lake is 100 x 150 m, its depth is about 1 m. The bottom of the lake is covered with a therapeutic mud containing a great amount of hydrogen sulphide, bromine and iodine. It is highly appreciated in health centres of Taman and Ana- pa. After dipping yourself in the lake you can then wash off the therapeutic mud in the sea. Lotus Valley These wonderful flowers first shipped from India can be seen near the Strelka settlement. Next to the oak grove, there's Kazachy Erik, a shallow channel with motorboats on watch in summer to deliver tourists to the place where lotuses bloom in the Akhtanizovsky Liman. 86 87
