One of my favorite places is the Ritsa is always beautiful, but it is especially beautiful in autumn! I have been here many times, but only now I was lucky and there was not a single cloud, all the mountains are visible and reflected in the water. If you come here, be sure to eat fish soup from lake trout in cafes - it's just a buzz. Parking a little further along the lake, 300r without time limit. So don't leave the car, traffic cops are working. To ride a catamaran 500r per person for 30min (quite enough) The fare to the territory of the national park is 700 rubles per person. By the way, if you drove a private car to Abkhazia, then insure the car. If you don't, then the good traffic cops will stop you in Gagra and willingly offer to do it. The price of the issue is 1400r for 15 days🙈
Lake Ritsa left me with incredible impressions! It is not only a natural wonder with crystal clear water, surrounded by majestic mountains and dense forests, but also a place that can become a real center of events. Although there is a lot to do here, from hiking along the surrounding trails to boating, I came here for a special occasion: meeting the winners of an extreme triathlon.
For those who like to combine outdoor activities and incredible views, Ritsa is a must-visit. And for me, this place is now associated with triumph, energy and harmony with nature.
Gorgeous nature, wonderful road - who would doubt it :) the entrance fee is 700 rubles / person. The only surprise is that near the Ritsa everything froze in the 90s - a bunch of cafes with a variety of designs and loud chanson, a lot of people coming in beads for 30 minutes. Lack of infrastructure for independent tourists. It is necessary to cultivate the place - to bring the appearance of coffee shops to uniformity, to make paths for walking, or even 200m to the right / left of the parking lot and nowhere to go. We were in winter - there was no romance from this chanson and coffee shops, we ran away into the snow, into nature.
