It was a small training sortie into the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve, just before a serious expedition. Nevertheless, the journey has left a favorable impression. I was particularly struck by the number of wild animals that have been seen during a ten days route. I have been in some wildest places in my travels, but such concentration of wild beasts I've never seen before. Especially at the foot of the mountain Jugha. Here you can find chamois and aurochs... bears... And, of course, the famous bisons, for which this reserve was created in the first place. Unfortunately, they are not the direct descendants of a wild bison (Dombey), that dwelt here before. Saving its kind did not succeed. So, here today, we see only the descendants of bisons brought here from other places. But they have successfully taken the root here and grow in numbers now. In general, reserve is quite large and is situated on the territory of Krasnodar Krai, Adygea and Karachay-Cherkessia, bordering with Abkhazia. Our little photo expedition was undertaken with the assistance of the Director of the Reserve Mr Shevelev Sergey Georgievich and with direct participation of researcher from the Maikop offices Mr Sergei Trepet. Sergey took us to the trails of the reserve to see interesting places. The route was about a hundred miles long, and lasted from the cordon Guzeripl, which is in Adygea, to Krasnaya Polyana, which is in the Krasnodar region. Thus, we crossed the Caucasus Mountains. In the trip with us was also my friend - Yuri Morozov.
