This article is dedicated to waterfall lovers.
I am Vladimir. I am from Sochi, Russia.
I travel from all over the Sochi and Black sea region.
Today I decided to discover the waterfall "Mouth of the dragon".
I went by car from Sochi to Krasnaya Polyana.
One-third of the way to Krasnaya Polyana is the place where you should park your car abd go by foot to discover the waterfalls, the canyon and the temple.
The waterfall itself, the gorge and the grotto.
It is not only the waterfall itself that is worth seeing. There's a huge gorge at the location. The rocks overhang the Deep Yar river. There is a large grotto at the confluence of the 2 walls of the gorge. There is a stream of cold air coming from there. It's dark inside... There were speleologists here once. They drove pegs and a rope on the wall to access the grotto. Since then, everything has remained that way. If desired, you can use this construction and get inside the "Dragon's Mouth".
You can get to the waterfalls from 2 points. The time from the parking to the waterfalls from these points is the same. The only difference is that you get to these points in different ways. The old road is slow and inconvenient due to the large number of turns. And on the new Krasnopolyanskiy highway - faster and in a straight line.
1 way.
You are driving along the old Krasnopolyanskaya road. You reach the village of the Monastery.
At the end of this very small village, turn to the right and, 700 meters go down to the parking. There will be a cafe. Then you walk along the old bridge over the Mzymta river and turn to the right. It is important to go along the new Krasnopolyanskaya road. The Mzymta river flow to your right side.
2 way.
You are driving along the new Krasnopolyanskiy highway. Then turn to Lesozavodskaya street.
There's a place to park the car. Then you walk 700 meters along the Mzymta river and the highway. Then you have to turn to the right. It will be clear from the terrain where to turn. Then you go 350 meters up the "Deep Yar" river. Then you enjoy the indescribable views of the gorge and waterfall!!!
