Journey to Fisht mountain
Mountains, rushing rivers, deep ravines, sunny valleys and forests that are hundreds of years old are all part of the natural treasures that can be found in the mountainous regions of Krasnodar Krai. These places are home to dozens of touristic routes and those that love more adventurous and active holidays can easily find activities that strike their fancy – from white-water rafting to rock climbing and canyoning. The snow-covered peeks of the Fisht-Oshtenovsky Mountains stand almost 3,000 metres above sea-level and are a perfect destination for adventure-seeking travellers.

It seems as if the area around Volgodonsk was created specifically for this reason and to go fishing all year round. True fisherman’s happiness however, is not simply sitting with a fishing pole on the water, but actually catching fish – the more elusive the better. One such fish is the Grass Carp, which can be found in many waters in Russia, yet very few fishermen can boast that they’ve been able to trick this ever-so-cautious river fish out of the water.
