My friend and I were going on a hike for a week somewhere in the mountains Caucasus, but the time chosen unsuccessfully – the rain did not stop. These We had wonderful days with our friends of the Russian-Turkish family, but I still wanted at least something related to the mountains, fire and tents. Then it was decided to conquer Mount Turkey! This is not Everest, of course, but only 859 meters, but I was going to get there for a long time, but all the time something hindered.
By the way, I had a wide-angle lens with me. I will tell you It is something! After 24-105 mm there was a feeling that my eyes were removed blinders, and finally I can see the world in full. Also with I started trying to shoot the starry sky and the first results I am very happy.

Mount Turkey
In 2010, we went with a friend to the mountain Two Brothers, and the next day there was to be a turkey, but I suddenly came down with a fever. Year later, we were determined to drive to its foot, and we could not get out of the car, as the rain was walled. And finally, the third The attempt was successful, and the weather was lucky, and the company.
Village Turkey
Not every tunnel can be reached by car.
Without thinking, we were in the village of Turkey, left the car at locals and went upstairs. We were told that the rise usually takes only a couple of hours, but we didn’t know where go, so we chose the longest option as a result, although the most logical, in our opinion. That we were surprised that on our the way we met no one of the tourists. If not for the knee-deep mud from the cars on which workers are driving, laying a power line, the everything would be great and I would recommend this one road to climb. We, of course, made an attempt to cut the path, blessing the mountain turkey constantly looms before my eyes, and more or less it is clear where to go and without a map, but the weeds did not let us, I had to return to the usual way.

As a result, we did not reach the Turkey on the first day and spent the night near the mast of power lines, right under the wires. Only there we could find a little penny for a tent, for everything around is overgrown thereby weeds But I managed to make a couple of photos of star the sky!

The next day, the path to Mount Turkey was found and we spent the whole day climbing along two vershinkas, enjoying the views and eating chestnuts, which are very convenient to lift from the ground when you climb somewhere up. By the way, there were three vershinok, Turkey, Turkey and Turkey, but the most interesting first. Same day we have to were to meet with Maxim, about whom I wrote in a previous article (Tuapse, history of life and Adzhar khachapuri). However, we are up to evenings we climbed around the neighborhood, passing a millimeter apart (we later learned this by checking trajectories), and only good people of us reunited.

I do not know why Mount Turkey didn’t let me in so much time, and then made all sorts of jokes. Personally, I did not seem ordinary and soulless kamenyuku. She, as a living, with its atmosphere, energy, mood. And she has some strange shapes! Dimpled rocks, sometimes smooth and covered with a layer green moss, with animal roars and trays. Straight unearthly civilizations tried, flew on their spaceship and abandoned him, he was petrified and overgrown with trees. It is clear that everything is possible explain by wind, water and sun. Or the fact that it is underwater the volcano of the former ocean Tethys, but you want to believe in a fairy tale, true? By the way, I was immediately associated with stone Ostitsy in Cappadocia (Turkey), he is still a brain removal.

Starry Sky from Turkey
And in the morning nature gave us a gift – we were higher of clouds. The white shroud fell and gently enveloped almost all the slopes, leaving only the black tops of the mountains. A sight from which is difficult look away Well, is it even worth living for this?

How to get
Our route will not tell, it is unlikely that anyone will go, there is the way is shorter. First of all, you need to get to the train bridge line Tuapse-Belorechensk, which is located at the end of the village Turkey, if from Tuapse to go. This is the old bridge, in the form of a narrow arch, through which the road passes. On account of the second, and the first is modern. Here, by the way, you can leave the car. From there goes up the path, which only up and up. Will be there turns, but in azimuth it will be clear where to turn. Small the length of the path will need to go along the power line, literally meters 300, cross it, and up again.
How to get to this bridge. With the car everything is clear, but if go by train, you will need to go on platforms of 1744 km (branch of Tuapse-Hot Key), Turkey (branch of Tuapse-Belorechensk), 1860 km (Tuapse-Hot Key branch and Tuapse-Belorechensk). Need only in advance look at the schedules, what and where and when it comes, and Are there any such stops? You can go to the next station, but then it is necessary to walk well still.
You can also take buses Tuapse-Terziyan and Tuapse-Shaumyan to get there, it is necessary to leave after the old railway bridge.
