Dolmens of the Western Caucasus

Dolmens of North Caucasus
russia, Gelendzhik
Dolmens of the Western Caucasus are stone tombs built from huge boulders dating back to the 3rd-2nd millennium BC. e. Distributed in the mountainous regions of the Krasnodar Territory and in the valley of the Laba River. Many dolmens were decorated with ornaments that depicted water, fire, the sun, people or animals. At the end of the 19th century, after the settlement of the mountains by the Cossacks, these structures began to be used as quarries. Nowadays, dolmens are practically not protected, they suffer from vandals, and are also destroyed for natural reasons.

Never believed
I never believed in "places of power", anomalous natural phenomena or anything else like that ...and did not believe it. Just piles of stones stacked in the form of large birdhouses. Plus: the territory is not well-groomed, although enough money is taken for visiting this place. Didn't appreciate it.→

Boring for once
Boring. The tour is useless, except that money is taken from people to cultivate the place. Although it's useless, to be honest. Let it remain in its original form. At one time - you can, only for the sake of nature and beautiful views of the mountains.→
