🚂 Absheronskaya narrow-gauge railway. 🌟

Built in the 1930s. for transportation of timber, today the Absheron road is used to connect remote villages with the mainland, and the narrow-gauge railway in the Guam Gorge is a popular tourist attraction - a recreational diesel locomotive runs along the giant chasm between the Guam and Lago-Naki ridges all year round.

🌳 Diesel locomotive TU8 runs along a two-kilometer track at a speed of 15 km/h, it has only 3 open cars. From the windows of the diesel locomotive you can see picturesque views of the Kurdzhips River, four-hundred-meter-high cliffs overgrown with relict trees and waterfalls falling from the mountain slopes. An audio guide operates while the train is moving.

This is interesting. In 2007, a snow removal train fell off a narrow-gauge railway in the Guam Gorge. They did not lift it from the bottom of the canyon and today passengers can see it among the waters of the Kurdzhips River.

☕️ Diesel locomotive in 20 minutes. travels the distance from the railway ticket office in the Guam Gorge to the stopping point "Urochishche Monakhovo". Here you can visit a small cafe "1707".

You can return by the same train or on foot along the abandoned Apsheronskaya narrow-gauge railway to the village of Mezmay (distance is 6 km.)

You can get to the Guam Gorge by car or by train to Krasnodar or Maykop, and from there by bus to Apsheronsk, then by minibus to Guamka.
