It's an amazing place, very beautiful. However, if a couple of years ago you could safely park and walk around to take pictures, now the place is fenced with bars, and neither stop nor walk. Pedestrians don't even have anywhere to climb: no sidewalks, no curbs. It's inconvenient, of course. And, well, perhaps it is important to someone: the place is located on the territory of the so-called. The reserve, and entry in 2024 is 700₽/person
The Yupsharsky Canyon in Abkhazia is an amazing place that impresses with its beauty and grandeur. Walking along its winding paths, you can enjoy stunning views of the mountains, river and waterfalls. The gorge is surrounded by dense forests and rocky cliffs, creating a unique atmosphere of natural wildness.
A trip through the Yupsharsky Canyon will be an unforgettable experience for lovers of outdoor activities and nature. Here you can go hiking, rock climbing, kayaking or just enjoy the peace and solitude. Every corner of the canyon hides its secrets and amazing landscapes that will leave an unforgettable impression.
I recommend visiting the Yupsharsky Canyon to all travelers who want to plunge into the atmosphere of wild nature and enjoy the beauty of the mountainous area of Abkhazia.
The whole road to the Ritz is a delight from the simply unreal, fabulous beauty!😍
I drove my car from St. Petersburg, had the opportunity to stop where the road allows, to admire the beautiful nature of Abkhazia, which simply takes your breath away!))
The road itself is good, the last third before the Ring is serpentines, you need to have some driving experience and be extremely careful) There may be traffic jams at the very top, it's hard to drive away, the road is narrow, especially tight, on weekends.
But, this adventure is worth it!!!
We were passing through there.Well, a very strong impression!I myself live in Novorossiysk and we also have mountains, the highest one is Koldun (730 m).But she's far away.and this is the first time I've seen such a height, and even in the gorge!and again - trees on the rocks!I was most impressed.this is what a craving for life must be in order to barely cling to the roots of anything, to continue to grow over the abyss!
High cliffs, a lot of coniferous vegetation, the air is saturated with humidity in comparison with urban areas. The road is winding and in many places the speed has to be slowed down to 15-20 km/h
The Yupshar Canyon is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, wherever I have been (visited 25 countries)!
I especially recommend looking at it from the upper observation deck into the depths and from below into the gorge!
In cloudy weather, you can drive through a cloud!
A miracle of nature. The scale is amazing. Now, for safety reasons, stopping at this place is prohibited, but you can admire it from the car. Last year we stopped and took pictures. Very beautiful. I advise everyone
A majestic, huge, breathtaking canyon. You just have to see it for yourself, photos and videos do not convey all its power and beauty. Be sure to visit!
The canyon is located on the road to Lake Ritz, when you look at it, it takes your breath away, a wonderful place, I advise you to visit, indescribable impressions of the beauty of nature you have seen
An incredible feeling of enclosed space, although the place is quite spacious. The high cliffs seem to be pressing down on you. A very beautiful road leading to Lake Ritsa.
A great place, but not so long ago it was surrounded by a grid, the approach, passage is prohibited everywhere, go 50 km to the Ritz for the sake of beauty, take a contribution from the 750r national park and fence off the beauty, well, such a thing, but the swing over the abyss is in the open access 👌how to understand🤦commerce, it's a shame 😌
This place is just sincere, only everything was fenced off, at first I did not understand why, then I realized that the rocks were crumbling and, for safety reasons, they fenced the entrance and approach to the rocks, but I flew on a drone, where it is possible and impossible. You can stop by car before reaching the canyon 100 meters away, in your pocket. And take a walk to it.
My wife and I liked it. You can also drive your own car. Or book a jeep tour. I liked it the most. In the valley of Seven Lakes. Lake Ritz was not encouraging. People like in China
An incredibly beautiful "green" place.
Take a walk, take a picture. And just admire it. We were on a guided tour, it's better to take a separate car and go. Since the tour is limited in time. And I don't want to leave there.
We visited Abkhazia in August 2024. The canyon is amazing. This is one of the most amazing places in Abkhazia. Unfortunately, this year the gorge was fenced off, and the stop is prohibited due to the frequent rockfalls.
A cool place, looking at such beauty, you only think about the magnificent, beautiful, everything is forgotten at that moment, mother nature is magnificent and charmingly beautiful, class
It's great! Located on the way to Lake Ritsa, it is impossible not to stop and feel the world of Mountains, these are not dull tourist planes, being here you understand how majestic Nature has created such places!
Nature is just super!!! Definitely worth a visit, to feed your eyes. The road itself is just a beauty, you need to lay down more time so that you can stop and take pictures more often.
I haven't seen anything like this before.You're standing at the bottom and looking up, you can't see the edge!Very tall and handsome.Besides, it's very narrow (it's good because it's even more beautiful).
It's a freaky place, it's already infuriating! Better than mountains, only mountains, what can I say! All the way to the Ritsa - this is the most epic place!
If you say it beautifully, then it doesn't say anything about this place. The view is simply amazing. He cannot be forgotten. It's like you're entering another world.
A unique natural object! On the way to the Ritz, you find yourself in the Realm of Stone! The River of Time slows down here. The magnificent views of the monumental blocks are fascinating. Stop at least for a minute in the Yupsharsky Canyon. Immerse yourself in this Beauty.
The delight is complete. I love such places. Clean mountain rivers, rifts, steep cliffs, clean air, waterfalls .....
It's nice to come back to such places and discover something new.
The gorge is beautiful, you can stop in your car in any places where there are playgrounds and admire alone. It was in October, not the season of the people visibly less, if you go earlier, then in general beauty
A beautiful picturesque place, there are also local attractions nearby. But be careful, there is a public toilet nearby, where groups of tourists are brought, the fragrance is all over the canyon! Of course, the problem of toilets in Abkhazia must be solved....
We visited on the way to Lake Ritsa. Nature just blew your head off!!! Such huge rocks are so close...
we drove a car, had the opportunity to stop and stare at the beauty. You must go!!!
One of the most beautiful places in Abkhazia and the whole Caucasus. It is located on the road to Lake Ritsa at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. The canyon, overgrown with centuries-old boxwood, moss and ivy hanging from the rocky ledges, makes an indelible impression.
It is impossible to convey even a fraction of admiration after following this place! My head is spinning... Beautiful and majestic!!! If it were 10, I would put 10 out of 10...
Incredibly beautiful mountain road
I advise you to visit everything at least once
And it's better more than once
And I was there in May, when everything is blooming - it's a fairy tale
And it was in January, when it was snowy, and the Lake itself at the end of the "path" was without a single piece of ice
The view of the snow-capped mountains and the open lake Ritsa is amazing
The beauty is indescribable and breathtaking. High cliffs, gorgeous views, lots of emotions! I highly recommend visiting this place, I will be happy to go again!
We were passing through Lake Ritsa, a very majestic place, colorful photos. You feel very small here. We really liked it, the photos will stay for a lifetime
Very impressive. The photo does not convey the atmosphere and scale. It's a very cool place, it's worth making a stop and taking a walk on the observation deck.
