If you do not go into details very much, you can say dolmen is something like a table folded from huge stones. Adygei and Ossetians even have legends about the people. dwarfs “bicent” for which the dolmens were houses.

Dolmens of Krasnaya Polyana
Not surprisingly, the purpose of these stone pillboxes is lost. in the depths of time – their age does not lag behind the Egyptian pyramids. Dolmens in the Caucasus, though not the most ancient, but delight scientists and tourists with its good condition. The first hope to reveal them. secret, and the latter just come to take a look.
I stared at them with my friends. True, I did it not systematically, just got to the nearest one to see what it is. AT around Sochi there are several locations where you will find more or less preserved dolmens. So in the pictures I didn’t even write what kind of dolmens are not the most top that have their own own names.

How to get there
On a personal car you can drive almost to the location itself, where there are dolmens. This is the dead end of Achishkhovskaya Street, in the most northern point PGT Krasnaya Polyana.
Well, or you can walk here on foot (which is complicated, because constantly uphill) or get on the 163 bus that goes with Rosa Khutora. Get off at the final stop “Achishkhovskaya street” and further – on the navigator or signs on the paths.
Information to visit
Admission is free, they are just in the forest. Not fenced, not marked and not protected. Honestly, I’d rather recommend visit Volkonsky dolmen, but it is already near Lazarevsky.
