What to see and where to go in Kabardinka?
The most interesting and beautiful places for walking. Photos and a short description.
Old park
The park was created on his own by a local resident of Kabardinka A. Alekseev. The city authorities, seeing his enthusiasm, allocated him an additional plot of land for planting. Although the size of the park is small, there is a lot to see inside - a Greek temple, an Egyptian pyramid, a medieval castle, sculptures, fountains and manicured lawns with tropical vegetation - all created thanks to the idea of one person.
The embankment
The embankment stretches along the main beach of the resort village. The promenade is paved with tiles, decorated with balustrades, bright flower beds, sculptural groups and illuminated lights. In summer, many people walk here, as this place is the center of the life of a small resort. There are restaurants, cafes and small souvenir stalls along the waterfront.
Kastalskaya font
The Kastalskaya font is called the lake and the adjacent landscaped area, which is located on the outskirts of Kabardinka. The reservoir is home to sturgeon and trout; on the banks, among flower beds and trees, there are cozy gazebos where you can sit with a company. The area is arranged in the best traditions of landscape design - sculptures, fountains, grottoes, bridges and stairs are located everywhere.
Dolphinarium
Dolphinarium is located on the territory of the central beach. Compared to other similar establishments in other resorts, it is quite small, but the performances here are no less spectacular than in the large complexes. Experienced trainers help the main characters of the scene, the Black Sea bottlenose dolphins, who are trying to surprise and delight the audience. After the show, you can take pictures with them.
Oceanarium and Exotarium
Collections of marine life and exotic animals located in one complex (a single entrance ticket is valid for its visit). In the aquarium, inhabitants of freshwater rivers of Russia, tropical seas and reservoirs of a temperate climate, coral reefs and coasts are represented, in the exotarium there are more than 40 species of amphibians and mammals collected from different parts of the planet.
Glass workshop
A private workshop-museum, where visitors can view the collection of colored glass products made in various techniques, as well as participate in a master class and create their own masterpiece. The tour is led by a guide who will tell you about the history of the craft, secret techniques and unique exhibits. The museum hosts five permanent exhibitions: Space Fantasy, Fairy Castle, Elbrus, Butterflies, Murano Glass.
The city of Kuban craftsmen
One of the most interesting museums in Kabardinka, located in the open air in the park. The collection is dedicated to the history, crafts and life of the Cossacks. Here you can look at the houses of the inhabitants of the Kuban - huts with reed roofs and farmsteads, where stables and outbuildings are located, as well as at traditional tools, household items, weapons, military uniforms, clothes, furniture.
Bringing Down the House
The opposite house has a roof at the bottom and a floor with furniture nailed to it at the top. Such excursion objects are of interest to tourists, it is not for nothing that they are in many cities around the world and in Russia. Against the background of the upside down interior, you can take original photographs, which is what the visitors do. The only correctly positioned element is the entrance staircase leading to the second floor.
Monument to those killed on the ship "Admiral Nakhimov"
The passenger ship "Admiral Nakhimov" was wrecked in Tsemesskaya Bay in 1986 as a result of a collision with "Peter Vasev". In this case, more than 400 people died. A year later, a monument was erected in memory of the tragedy at Cape Doob. The memorial is a composition of metal pipes of different heights, installed in the center of a concrete circle. On the monument there is a ship clock raised from the bottom of the sea, which shows the time of the disaster - 23:20.
Captain Zubkov's battery
A genuine monument of the period of the Great Patriotic War, which is a group of artillery pieces and reinforced concrete fortifications placed in the open air. Thanks to this battery and its riflemen, the German troops were never able to advance into the Tsemesskaya Bay and enter Gelendzhik. The fortification was erected in 1941 and, as history shows, it coped with its task brilliantly.
