Caucasian Mineral Waters is a unique area in Russia. Here literally everything is created so that vacationers not only enjoy wonderful views, but can also improve their health.
At the very beginning of planning a vacation trip to Caucasian Mineralnye Vody, you should decide on the resort that will become the main point of your stay:
· Pyatigorsk is the most popular medical resort in the country, where the nervous, digestive and cardiovascular systems, the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the skin and female organs are treated;
· Essentuki – coming to this resort, you will be able to improve the health of your digestive system;
· Kislovodsk – people come here to relax not only in summer, but also in winter, to cleanse the blood, alleviate the symptoms of asthma, treat gynecological diseases and diseases of the digestive system;
· Zheleznovodsk is a universal resort that is suitable for strengthening the health of various body systems, especially the kidneys.
All of these cities are located close to each other, so if you travel by car or don't mind taking public transport, you can visit each of them during your vacation. All of them are somewhat reminiscent of the famous European resorts of Baden-Baden and Karlovy Vary.
What to watch and where to go?
When you come on vacation to the KMS, you don’t have to go somewhere special to spend time with pleasure. The local nature is unique in its beauty, so just walking around the surrounding area will be enough.
If you want to unwind and visit the sights, it makes sense to look into the following places:
· city parks in each of the resort towns;
· places associated with Lermontov, mainly the State Museum-Reserve in Pyatigorsk;
· Dolphinarium, Mount Koltso, Honey Falls in Kislovodsk;
· Pirogov Baths, site of Lermontov’s duel, Diana’s grotto in Pyatigorsk;
· cascading staircase, musical gazebo in Zheleznovodsk;
· mineral baths of Nicholas II, rose platform, Alekseevskaya mud baths in Essentuki.
Where to stay?
Due to the fact that holidays in the Caucasian Mineral Waters are predominantly therapeutic in nature, most tourists check into sanatoriums to undergo a number of health-improving procedures. Other accommodation options, such as hotel rooms and apartments for daily rent, are also available in all resort towns.
Where exactly it is better to stay depends on the budget of the trip, the desire to feel free, or vice versa, so that the vacation is as organized as possible.
KavMinVody is a collection of popular Russian resorts, which are located in the south of the country and occupy several regions at once:
· Stavropol Territory – Pyatigorsk, Mineralnye Vody, Essentuki, Kislovodsk, Zheleznogorsk;
· Kabardino-Balkaria – resort towns and villages of the Zolsky region;
· Karachay-Cherkessia – sources of mineral water in the Malokarachaevsky and Prikubansky regions.
In the south, the KVM borders on Elbrus, in the north – on the steppes of the Ciscaucasia; recreation here is extraordinary. This resort region is a specially protected territory by the state, as it officially has federal significance.
A little history
The region earned such high praise and a special position thanks to its favorable climate and numerous sources of healing water, the properties of which began to be actively studied at the beginning of the 18th century at the direction of Peter I. As a resort, Caucasian Mineral Waters began to exist another 100 years later, when in 1803 Alexander I officially gave this territory the status of a resort of national importance.
At different times, such outstanding personalities as Pushkin, Lermontov, Mayakovsky, Odoevsky, Yesenin, Tolstoy, Chaliapin, Gorky, Glinka, Rachmaninov and many others rested and underwent treatment here.
Climate in the region
Not only the springs, but also the local climate has a healing effect on vacationers. Due to the fact that the region has a heterogeneous topography and a large extent, various climatic zones are observed throughout its territory, significantly different from each other. The main feature of almost all popular KVM resorts is a large number of sunny days throughout the year and relatively dry air, especially.
Conventionally, the region is divided into two climatic zones: southern (Kislovodsk) and northern (Pyatigorsk, Essentuki and Zheleznovodsk). Each resort town has its own weather conditions. In the northern zone there is little precipitation and a little less sun than in the southern zone. Kislovodsk differs from other KavMinVod resorts in the large number of sunny days and the possibility of quality recreation even in winter.
A lot depends on the altitude at which a particular settlement is located. This factor influences nebula, average temperature, precipitation and atmospheric pressure fluctuations.
Even under Peter the Great, the healing properties of the mineral waters of the Stavropol Territory were highly appreciated. The nobility and Moscow elite, tired of gray Petersburg, went there for treatment and rest.
Pushkin and Lermontov chose the Caucasian Mineral Waters as a site for their immortal stories, and the latter, often visiting the Caucasus, left us a unique “Lermontov” tourist route.
This is not the only attraction of Mineralnye Vody. Their location between two seas, surrounded by the slopes of the Greater Caucasus on one side and the forest-steppe on the other, allowed them to acquire unique objects of ecological and cultural tourism.
Big Honey Falls.These are the famous ones:
- Elbrus region;
- The “Kapelnitsa” tract and the Batalinskaya cave;
- Tambukan Lake;
- Laccolith mountains (17 dormant volcanoes over 10 million years old);
- Mount Ring;
- Pyatigorsk failure (known to us from the work of Ilf and Petrov “The Twelve Chairs”), etc.
The mild climate and healing mountain air of Mineralnye Vody will brighten up any vacation. In summer the temperature here is about 25-30 degrees Celsius, winter is mild - from -4 to -6 degrees. Autumn is usually dry and golden, fruitful - many healthy and tasty fruits ripen. This allows you to visit Mineralnye Vody Caucasus all year round.
The fresh air in summer is filled with the aroma of many steppe and mountain flowers, which give the taste to unusually sweet and delicate Caucasian honey. An ordinary walk through the forests is already an adventure; hornbeams and oaks create especially picturesque and dense thickets; golden cherry plums and juicy pears ripen for gourmets.
The Elbrus region is among the top. From the article you will find out what other cheapest ski resorts are in Eastern Europe and Russia. The article provides an overview of the most budget-friendly places for a ski holiday, where prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the west.
