A very beautiful place!! However, the station building is currently being repaired, so you will not be able to go inside. You need comfortable shoes to walk from the hydroelectric power station
If you come to New Athos, then this place SHOULD be visited. Yes, the site is small (I mean both the railway platform and the hydroelectric power station). It is better to prepare informatively and read what it is and what these places are for, and then you will be able to assess the scale. Painted ceilings remain in the station itself and traces of architecture are visible. And all this cannot be compared with newfangled architectural solutions.
An abandoned platform.
You can visit it once.
It is beautiful because of the greenery and the lake.
You can take beautiful photos.
It's a pity that such a beautiful place is neglected
It is a very picturesque and interesting place. It is easy to walk either from the caves or from the waterfalls, the station itself and the pond around are very colorful. You will not wait for a train at the station, but if you get inspired, you can imagine how noble ladies and gentlemen came to such a place to relax and walk around New Athos many years ago…
You definitely need to go to this station, it looks amazing, especially if you have a good imagination and you can imagine it in a well-groomed form. One of the disadvantages is that she is not being looked after. I think if they had paid more attention and put it in order, it would have been wonderful.
An interesting place steeped in history, even in the evening there are a lot of people. Next to the grotto of Simon, it is worth laying an hour for a walk around the entire territory. The only point in the evening is that the place is not well lit.
Despite the rusty wires and rails , it is expensive to operate , many who do not know walk along the tracks, be careful, and the places there are very beautiful mountains , a waterfall , I advise you to go.
An atmospheric place. Everything is destroyed, of course, but if you look at what's left of the station, it's very impressive. The benches are cast iron, the floor is colorful, the ceiling is stuccoed and part of the room hangs as if above the river. And you need to cross the bridge to the station. It is all within walking distance, free of charge.
I really liked it, I would have liked to see her when she was still working. But even now it makes an indelible impression. What a dam with crystal water is worth
The first time I was on this platform was in 1985, when there were regular trains. It was very beautiful. Now the platform is being repaired and the trains have appeared. Maybe things will get better.
A magical place. A must-visit in Abkhazia. You get into another world. Much has been written and said about abandoned stations and buildings in Abkhazia. Here it's all + tropical greenery around, a river and, if you're lucky, you can get on a passing train. How I got into a fantastic movie.
An atmospheric place. It fascinates and attracts. We were in bad weather and the first impression was that we found ourselves in a lost world. and now the pteranodon will fly by and tyrex will appear... Very beautiful
It's very beautiful, it's a pity we got caught in the pouring rain, which greatly spoiled the impression, but still a very beautiful place. Perhaps someday we will enjoy this place again
It is a very beautiful and atmospheric place. The stop itself and, as they say, the locals - the waterfall)))
In fact, this is a hydroelectric power plant, which was restored a couple of years ago and transferred to a neighboring monastery. There is a souvenir market nearby. You can get from below for 150 rubles.
The place is definitely worth a visit!
The place is interesting, it's an abandoned station. The trains are still passing. But you have to be very careful, because there is not a single warning sign that a train is coming. There are two waterfalls. You can take a dip in the river. Entrance to the waterfall and gorge is paid, 200 rubles. It is better to drive when it is cool or it is raining. Because it was very, very hot and it was very difficult to climb into the gorge.
A very beautiful place! We took a lot of cool, unique photos! I definitely recommend everyone to visit this place! The first time we were in New Athos, we did not reach the station ... We decided that there was nothing behind the waterfall ... and we were very much mistaken…
The platform of the railway station itself is very beautiful, despite the ongoing repair work. There are greenery, mountains, and a pond all around. There is a cafe and a toilet nearby
The beauty that can be seen through oblivion and destruction . The fusion of nature and architecture . I don't know about others , it takes my breath away from this beauty ... restore and take care , people!
