Limpopo Zoo

Reviewed By lesyax - Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

I live in NN and I love this zoo so much. First of all, there are a lot of different animals. Animals are really friendly and funny. You can buy some food and feed them here. P.S. But be careful with goats. They really like eating, so they can run after you to get some food.

Beach Promenade

Reviewed By romanshorner - Munich, Germany

It is one of the best beaches in Kaliningrad Region. The access to the water is flat and also suitable for families with children. There is white clean sand. The promenade with several cafes is beautiful and also worth for walk, when not going swimming. You have direct access to the beach.

Mountain Beshtau

Reviewed By NorthCaucasusFan - Pyatigorsk, Russia

Definitely spend a day or 1/2 day hiking up Beshtau if you have the chance! The views from the top are spectacular if its clear, including seeing Elbrus and the Caucasus Mountain range. The best route up in my opinion is from Zheleznovodsk, through the old train station. That trail is wide and very beautiful through the woods. The quickest way down is towards Lermontov on the other side. I don't recommend hiking there by foot from Pyatigorsk, it's very long and the trail is dangerous at points. It gets VERY cold and windy at the top, so come prepared! I have on average gotten to the top in 2.5 hours at a decent pace. Enjoy!

Krasnaya Polyana Mountain Cluster

This popular state reserve offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the magnificent West Caucasus mountains.

Reviewed By abheeth_lokuayya - Kursk Oblast, Russia

We've visited the mountain cluster by cable car and the ride was so adventurous and great. Don't miss this cable car ride if you visit Krasnaya Poliyana. Plus while you are going up to the mountains you'll see a breathtaking Panasonic view of Caucasus mountains.
