From the world of food, TV and 5G.
Rocking and shaking on the chair.
We suddenly found ourselves in a world of ice and peaks
On the glacier, with the magical name Skazsky
And now we're heading to an amazing place, one of the most famous gorges in mountainous Ossetia, Tsey Gorge.
Tsei Gorge begins just behind the village of Buron, located on the Transcaucasian Highway on the right bank of the Ardon River, about 80 kilometers southwest of Vladikavkaz.
STALIN
At the entrance to the high mountain village of Tsey, you'll certainly notice a huge granite boulder, about four meters high, standing right on the edge of the road. , but the fact that on it, on the side facing the beginning of Tsey Gorge, there's a portrait of Joseph Stalin. And on the back of the boulder there's a portrait of the great Ossetian poet and educator Kosta Khetagurov.
I don't know how true it's, but it's said that when Khrushchev came to power, he ordered to throw this boulder into the abyss. But the very next day the villagers, unhappy with Stalin's fall, returned the huge boulder to its place. And even then, it's said, they guarded the stone image for a while with weapons in their hands so that such a thing wouldn't happen again.
And here it must be made clear that this veneration of the Ossetians for Joseph Stalin isn't based on an empty square ... There are good reasons to believe, even if historians still argue on this point, that Stalin himself, through his father, was an Ossetian.
RECOM
Alagir Gorge, which includes Tseyskoye Gorge, is located not only in the center of North Ossetia, but of the entire North Caucasus. This is the only gorge that the Ossetians and their ancestors, the Alans, never left. No matter what happened, no matter what bloody battles the Ossetians participated in, in Alagir Gorge the warlike people survived and were reborn.
In Tsey Gorge there's the oldest Ossetian sanctuary - Rekom, which serves as the main place of worship for the most powerful sky god of the Ossetian pantheon, Dzuar Uastirdzhi.
The name Rekom is originally Ossetian and dates back to ancient times. There are various interpretations, but given the special role of the falcon bird in Ossetian mythology, it can be assumed that Rekom is a cut off from the Ossetian Uarikom which means falcon canyon.
The building itself is a log house built without nails from thick pine logs.
According to the legend, the Recom is God's creation... men weren't involved in any way in the construction of the sanctuary. It was created on the spot where one of God's tears was shed over the fallen nart Batraz.
Rekom is revered as one of the oldest and most important shrines of Ossetia ... On one of the bells of the sanctuary there's preserved an inscription which says: The prayer book of Digoria and Dvaletia, the sanctuary of the whole country of Ossetia.
And here's another visiting card of Tsey - the mount Monk. The mount got its name because of the striking resemblance to the hood - the headdress of monks.
Winter in Tsey Gorge is mild - the air temperature rarely drops below minus ten degrees Celsius, which makes skiing here very pleasant.
Tsey has long been a popular place for ski lovers. Since the 60s of the last century, people have been coming to the gorge in large numbers to ski. The ski season starts in December and ends in April. The altitude difference in the ski resort is 920 meters.

Our choice finally fell on the travel agency Tourism Ossetia.
I contacted the guys from Tourism Ossetia via Whatsapp. As a result, three excursions were planned. We were going to visit three remarkable places in the mountains: KARMADON, DARGAVS, and MIDAGRABIN.
The Karmadon Gorge, or, another name, the Genaldon Gorge, is located at an altitude of 750 to 1200 meters above sea level. Genaldon - translated from Ossetian means a river in a hemp gorge. However, we have not checked whether this name corresponds to reality.
A little further upstream, another river joins the Genaldon, the Kolka, which in Ossetian means a cliff, a rocky coast. And in the upper reaches of the gorge there are two glaciers: Kolka and Mayli.
In the fall of 2002, the famous Russian director and actor Sergei Bodrov came to Vladikavkaz with his film crew to shoot just one scene of his movie The Courier. On September 18, the film crew arrived in Vladikavkaz. On September 20, the group was supposed to go to the Karmadon Gorge to shoot the scene.
That day, the filmmakers waited a long time for transportation to take them to the mountains, and the start of work had to be postponed from nine in the morning to one in the afternoon. This delay cost the lives of everyone who was on the set that day.
Shooting continued until seven in the evening, when work had to stop due to the lack of daylight. The group gathered the equipment and prepared to return to the city. And at this time, at 8 p.m., a block of the hanging glacier with a volume of about 8 million cubic meters fell from the eastern spur of the mountain Dzhimarai Khokh from a height of 4350 meters and fell on the rear part of the Kolka glacier. This resulted in a fatal ice collapse and a mudslide.
The total volume of the moving ice-rock mass reached 130 million cubic meters, its width was about 200 meters and its length more than 11 kilometers.
The main part of the flow ended at the crevice of the Karmadon Gate. But at least 10 million cubic meters flowed through the gate.
The mudslide swept down the river valley at a speed of 150 - 200 km/h, crushing everything in its path. Escape was absolutely impossible!
The mudslide completely covered the Karmadon Gorge, where Sergey Bodrov and his film crew were, in just 20 minutes.
125 people became victims of the disaster.
Within hours after the tragedy became known, almost all the residents of the surrounding villages arrived to help. After a three-month rescue operation, only nineteen bodies were found. For the next two years, volunteers worked every day at the crash site. Right on the glacier, they set up a camp called Hope. Hoping that someone could survive by hiding in the tunnel.
Here you can see the top of the tunnel arch. As you can see, it is completely filled with rocks... of course, it was not realistic to escape here... the hopes were not to be fulfilled...
Oh my god, what a beauty!
What power, harmony and strength
Clear air, clean rivers
Ossetia has given us so generously...
Mountain gorges of the highest beauty
Crystal waters of gushing rapids
Alpine meadows of tender grass
Stones and ice of austere temples

The village of Kamunta is the highest mountain village in North Ossetia! It is located in the Digorsky Gorge at an altitude of 1934 meters above sea level.
They named the village in honor of one of the first people who settled in this area ... And his name was Kamun.
Scientists trace the origin of the ancient settlement Kamunta to the late Bronze Age - that is about one and a half millennia before Christ.
Just imagine that! One and a half thousand years before Christ! Therefore, when you walk through the narrow, rocky streets of the village, you are seized by an inexplicable excitement... You have the feeling of standing on the edge of a precipice, on the steep slope of the rock of time, and looking suspiciously into the swirling darkness of world history...
A thousand and a half years before the birth of Christ lived a simple man... Ossetian... Alan... his name was Kamun... Almost four thousand years have passed, and his name still lives... is not it a miracle?!
Once upon a time, in the early days of Alans, Kamunta flourished... For the village was located directly on one of the most important trade routes between China and Russia, on the famous Great Silk Road.
According to our guide Alan, the road that runs along the opposite slope of the gorge is part of the former Great Silk Road.
Around the village there are numerous burial sites, where archeologists have found a large number of jewelry of the Alan tribal nobility, ceramics, coins, and so on.
At present, only 16 people live in Kamunta. However, on holidays due visits of guests and relatives, this number increases to 27.
Another interesting fact is that Kamunta village is listed in the Russian Book of Records as a record holder, as on May 9, 2016 the Immortal Regiment parade took place in Kamunta. The staff of the book recorded the highest mountain procession of the Immortal Regiment in Russia.
And we climb to the top of the mountain where the village of Kamunta is located. About 2,000 meters above sea level. Locals call this place the Dog Rock.
The Dog Rock is a rocky outlier that stands on the very edge of a cliff. In ancient times, criminals sentenced to death were thrown from this rock. Such execution was considered the most humane. Moreover, the execution of the sentence was always entrusted to the relatives of the offender, in order to exclude a blood feud with the executors.
Why was the rock called a dog? No, not because it looks like a dog ... literally translated from Ossetian, it sounds like A place to throw dogs ... And if you consider that people usually call criminals lousy dogs - everything immediately becomes their place ...
It is clear that in Ossetia there was more than one such rock with a similar name.
However, it should be noted that such a cruel punishment was not often used, but only for very serious crimes. In Ossetia the following were considered as such ...
Treason
Intentional spreading of contagious diseases
Violation of the custom of hospitality, i.e. murder or robbery of a guest
Patricide
Incest
The painting you saw at the beginning of my story about the Dog Rock is by the famous Ossetian artist Maharbek Tuganov. It is called Dog Rock.

Fiyagdon Hills - Vladikavkaz ( Russia )/ Russian mountain/ Russia-Georgia border
Verkhny Fiagdon or Upper Fiagdon (Ossetian: Фиййагдон; Russian: Верхний Фиагдон) is a settlement in Alagirsky District of North Ossetia–Alania (Russia). Verkhny Fiagdon is located in Kurtat valley on the river Fiagdon.

10:27 We continue up the Digora gorge
And we continue traveling ... along the picturesque roads of the Digora mountainous. The next stop is the village of Fasnal.
Fasnal village is located at the confluence of the Sardidon and Songutidon rivers, 40 km from the regional center of Chikola and 105 km from Vladikavkaz city.
There is a rich deposit of lead-zinc ores near Fasnal. In 1893, Belgian specialists built a mining and processing plant under an agreement with the Tsarist government.
The construction of the plant was entrusted to Karase Gabuev, a well-known builder in Ossetia, and his brothers.
The New Factory was equipped with the most advanced equipment for the time: numerous electromechanical systems that replaced manual labor. There was electric lighting and telephone connections. It was very bright in the workshops because the roof was made of thick, unbreakable glass .
By the way, Fasnal Mining and Processing Plant can be rightly called one of the most advanced and modern enterprises not only in Russia, but in the whole world!
Unfortunately, due to the riots that broke out in Russia in 1905, which later turned into a revolution, the work of the plant was first interrupted and then finally stopped. Local residents stole the equipment, a school was opened in the office building, and the workers' dormitory was turned into a hospital ...
in 1917 they tried to demolish the building, but without success, because the walls proved to be very strong ... They say that Karase Gabuev added sour milk whey to the solution.
Today only the walls of the Belgian factory remain, which is used by locals mainly as a cattle shed.
However, what remains of the once unique factory to this day looks very picturesque and always attracts the attention of tourists. Locals call the ruins of the factory the Digora Coliseum.
Underground gallery.
We continue up the Digora gorge. Alan wants to show us the Ossetian villages in the highlands, Kamunta and Galiat.
But there is another interesting and very picturesque place on the way...
- Hello cow! How is life here in the mountains?
Just behind one of the ten art objects, a traditional Ossetian musical instrument called Fandyr, is the entrance to an old disused gallery. This is one of those tunnels where ore was mined for the Fasnal mining and processing factory, the picturesque ruins of which we have just visited.
The bravest and best prepared people made a unique trip to this cave
Pay attention to how Alan touchingly takes care of Vanya during the descent ... With such a guide as Alan you will always feel calm. And this is especially important in the mountains!
And we continue ... right on the route of the high mountainous Ossetian village of Kamunta and simply breathtaking views of the Digora Gorge from the height where this village is located.
But more about that in the next video...

Dargavs, A mysterious land on Earth/Russia. Full of Information, on the top of mountain-Caucasus
Dargavs is a settlement in Prigorodny District of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, Russia, located on the Gizeldon River. Dargavs was a center of the Ossetian province of Tagauria.
There is a late medieval Ossetian necropolis outside the village of Dargavs called the City of the Dead. It comprises 99 different tombs and crypts. Some sources say the oldest of the crypts dates back to the 12th century, though others date it to the 14th century and some believe it is from the 16th century. In addition to the tombs, a tower stands at the back of the burial complex.
The crypts have ridged curved roofs which rise in step-like fashion to a pointed peak at their center. The smaller crypts have flat sides at the front and back and curve inwards on the sides while the very smallest have no roofs whatsoever.
The walls are made of stone blocks and mortared with most likely lime or clay-lime. In the walls are square holes to place the dead bodies in the crypt.
On the inside of the crypts there is a pointed groin vault complex supporting the roof, though on the smaller ones these are pointed barrel vaults.
The bigger crypts can be 2–4 stories high.
В Дигорское ущелье на авто - отпуск в горах Северной Осетии
Десятиминутный фильм о нашем летнем путешествии из Владикавказа в Дигорское ущелье. Тех, кто досмотрит фильм до конца, ждет приз – таймлапс Млечного пути.
Пожалуй, так, как в горах, разглядеть его больше нигде не получится!

4:46 Дорога на Дзинагу к Порогу Неба

9:43 Млечный путь
Фильм экспериментальный – я попробовал совместить открыточные виды (которых в Диорском ущелье много) с дорожными заметками. В результате получилось настоящее travel video о том, что можно посмотреть в Северной Осетии. Вам оценивать, насколько эксперимент удался.
Несколько слов о маршруте и о том, где мы останавливались. За год до этого мы первый раз поехали в Дигорское ущелье, и оно поразило нас своей красотой. Мы провели несколько дней в Задалеске; оттуда же мы предприняли однодневную вылазку в Камунту и Галиат. Фильм об этом путешествии можно посмотреть здесь:
В этом году мы решили прокатиться в другую сторону и сразу за Мацутой повернули направо, на Дзинагу. Это тоже Дигорское ущелье. В отличие от Камунты и Галиата горы здесь более лесистые, и они просто сочатся речками и водопадами.
Дорога из Владикавказа заняла примерно 2,5 часа: полтора часа езды по очень хорошей дороге через Ардон, Дигору и Чиколу до въезда в ущелье – условно «воротами» в Дигорское ущелье можно считать «Чертов» мост над рекой Урух и святилище Уастырджи (на дигорском – Уасгерги). За это время мы проехали 90 километров. Далее еще примерно час уходит на преодоление 30 км по грунтовой дороге. В хорошую дорогу проехать по ней можно на самом обычном автомобиле; если же на длительное время устанавливаются ливневые дожди, то с поездкой лучше повременить. Нам пришлось перебронировать гостиницу из-за дождей. Позже выяснилось, что как раз в один из этих дней размыло дорогу, и в речку рухнул трактор с трактористом (которого не удалось спасти), работавший на ремонте этой дороги.
В конце автомобильной дороги находится несколько домов отдыха и турбаз. Последние три – Порог неба (отсюда начинается тропа, ведущая к «Трем сестрам»), Орлиное гнездо и Тана-парк.
Мы провели одну ночь в Гнезде, а затем еще на три ночи перебрались в Тана-парк. В Орлином гнезде бюджетнее, в Тана-парке – комфортнее. Так как мы были с детьми, то комфорт оказался важнее. Там же, кстати, находится очень приличный ресторан, поесть в котором можно, не будучи постояльцем Тана-парка.
Развлечения. Самое главное развлечение в горах – пешие походы в горы. В принципе, по каким-то маршрутам можно проехать на внедорожнике типа «Нивы», по каким-то тропам можно прокатиться верхом – лошадей с гидом можно взять в Орлином гнезде. Но пешком, мне кажется, интереснее. Можно выбрать что-то посложнее со специальным снаряжением, можно с трекинговыми палками, а можно с фотоаппаратом через плечо и с детьми за руку. Впечатлений – масса, виды практически с любой точки маршрута открываются невероятные. Единственное, о чем следует предупредить – погода, которая меняется в горах стремительно. Надо иметь это в виду и всегда быть готовыми к тому, что в пути вас может застать дождь. Ну и, если вы сходите с тропы, будьте предельно осторожны – иногда забраться вверх по каменной осыпи бывает значительно легче, чем спустить с нее, не порезавшись об острые края камней.
Горы заразны, а Дигорское ущелье опасно вдвойне и втройне – уехать из него, не заболев горами, на мой взгляд, практически невозможно. Надеюсь, посмотрев это видео, вы захотите проверить на себе 😊

And here we are again on the road ... The last point of the excursion route is Mamison gorge. The hydroelectric power plant Zaramag, a mineral water in Tib and the village of Lisri.
And we have just left the incredibly beautiful Tsey gorge, where the Skazsky glacier is imposing in the realm of rocks, snow and rhododendrons ... You can find the link to the Tsey video in the description.
Zaramag Hydroelectric Power Plant is the largest power plant in North Ossetia and the third largest in the North Caucasus ...
And for me the Zaramag Hydroelectric Power Plant has also a special personal meaning ... As a student of the North Caucasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in 1985, I was directly involved in its construction as part of a construction team. And today I am very proud of it! After all, they built such power and beauty!
Yes, the times of our reckless student youth have long been forgotten, but the photos remain ... the song remains, the lyrics of which I wrote right there - during the construction of the Zaramag hydroelectric power plant
If you want to listen to the whole song, you can find the link in the description.
Tunnel
And now we are driving along the Mamison Gorge, where we pass the tunnel that until recently served as the water intake tunnel of the Zaramagskaya hydroelectric power plant. As you can see, this building is in dire need of renovation! The road is in terrible condition and the old concrete vaults can no longer hold back the groundwater.
But there is also good news! Reconstruction is currently in full swing. The tunnel is being reinforced with a ring of strong rebar. The new vaulted ceiling will be made of modern, reliable materials that do not shy away from water and time. The roadway is also being widened and a modern drainage system is being installed. Soon what you see on the screen now will be just a bad dream!
While the tunnel is being repaired, you will be able to reach the Mamison Gorge by pontoon ferry, which will be placed directly through the water reservoir of the Zaramagskaya hydroelectric power plant.
LISRI
Before heading back, we strolled with great interest through the picturesque ruins of an ancient Ossetian village, Lisri.
Lisri is one of the oldest settlements in North Ossetia. The first buildings of the village were probably built in the fifteenth century.
Originally there were 14 battle towers in the village. Only seven have been handed down to us. And, of course, both the towers and the houses are in great need of restoration.
All the buildings were built of rough stone and without binding mortar. A good master built the walls stone by stone, carefully selecting each stone so that the masonry was perfectly uniform and strong.
The buildings are very close together, which is why Lisri is also called the Labyrinth City.
On the outskirts of the village stands an almost completely destroyed Orthodox church, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, built in 1897.
But the oldest and most mysterious building in Lisri is the sanctuary of Migdau Dzuar. It's the only ziggurat in the North Caucasus - a step-shaped ritual structure. Similar temples are discovered by archeologists during excavations in ancient Mesopotamia. It's completely incomprehensible how and for what purpose it was built in North Ossetia.

This is our last tour through the mountains of North Ossetia. In conclusion, we are going to the most far location of North Ossetia, but probably the most beautiful one… Digora gorge.
Digora gorge is located in the Urukh river basin, 120 kilometers from Vladikavkaz.
It should be noted that Ossetians are generally divided into three sub-ethnic groups: the Digors, the Irons and the Kudars. So, Digora gorge is the main place of residence - Ossetian-Digors.
After almost two hours of driving we reached the settlement of Chicola, one of the four largest villages of Digoria, and the administrative center of the district. The other three are Digora, Dur-Dur and Lesken.
The Akhsinta gorge is the deepest gorge in North Ossetia
In Ossetia there are two monuments to Dzuar Uastyrdzhi - the most influential celestial body of the Ossetian pantheon. I have already remembered one of them, standing at the very beginning of Alagir Gorge, the link to the video is in the description, the second monument, also on a horseback, though smaller, but definitely not less significant, can be found here, in Digora Gorge, just four kilometers from the Devil’s bridge over Akhsinta Gorge, which we have just visited.
The monument is made of bronze and was erected in 2015 on the highest rock above the Urukh River.
The weight of the monument is 13 tons, the height is six meters. The author of the sculptural composition is a well-known Ossetian sculptor, Sosyev Vladimir Borisovich.
So, Digora gorge is the northern part of the main Caucasus mountain range, Iraf district, Urukh river basin. By the way, the Urukh is the largest river in Digoria... Its length is 104 kilometers. Translated from Ossetian language Urukh meaning Wide.
Since the Digora Gorge is the farthest from the republic capital Vladikavkaz - 120 kilometers - the way here is a bit more backbreaking than, for example, to the Tsey Gorge, but it's definitely worth it! Amazing beautiful views, many impressive monuments of Ossetian history - high settlements, towers, crypts...
Interestingly, as a native of Vladikavkaz who lived in Ossetia until the age of 27, I never bothered to visit Digora Gorge. Precisely because it is so far from the capital of the republic. It was the first, very bright and impressive acquaintance with the amazing corner of North Ossetia - Digora Gorge.
MATSUTA village
In Matsuta village we went to the last store on our way ... further there will be no such opportunities to buy cookies and ice cream ...
The name of the village Matsuta in the Ossetian language means Go no further According to one version, this name is due to the fact that in the 18th century there was a plague epidemic, as a result of which the population of Ossetia decreased sharply.
Here there was a quarantine post, beyond which it was strictly forbidden to go ...
Here you can admire another interesting art object, The arrows of the Nart Soslan, based on one of the episodes of the Nart epic ...
By the way, in the village of Matsuta there is an old tomb where, according to legend, the famous Nart Soslan was buried. Of course, one can be skeptical about this fact, but in 1880 Professor Vsevolod Miller, a world-famous archeologist, actually found in this tomb the remains of the skeleton of a huge man ... Makes you think, doesn't it?
Immediately behind the crypt of Soslan a monument to the Ossetian warriors who died in World War II was erected.

And so begins our second tour through the mountains of North Ossetia. The first one was already very interesting and full of impressions! You can find the links to the corresponding videos in the description. This time, accompanied by our guide Alan, we want to visit the most interesting places of Alagir and Tsey gorges. The first place is here, in Alagir Gorge, at the beginning of Transcaucasian Highway, the road connecting Georgia and Russia. Here in 1995 the monument to Uastyrji was erected, flying out of the rock on a horse.
Uastirdzhy is one of the most important dzuars, that is celestial figures, in the traditional religion of the Ossetians and one of the heroes of the Nart epic. The name Uastirdzhi comes from Wac Gergi Saint George.
Saint George is a mediator between God and people and is depicted in folk epics as an old man in a white coat on a white three-legged horse, but sometimes appears among people in the form of an old beggar.
Numerous shrines are dedicated to Uastirdzhi in Ossetia, and a holiday, Dzheorguba, is celebrated annually in the second half of November in honor of the heavenly being.
Saint George is the patron saint of men, travelers and warriors. For women even the name Uastirdzhi is forbidden, they can call him only allegorically Lagty Dzuar, which literally means patron saint of men in Ossetian.
The size of the sculpture is very impressive! For example, the hoof of a horse is more than a meter, the height of his head is six meters, and a person can easily fit into the hand of the rider.
The monument is made of metal and weighs 28 tons. It is the largest sculpture of a rider on a horse in the world!
The monument is placed on a rock at a height of 22 meters. This exceeds the height of a seven-story building.
The author of this unique art object is the famous Ossetian sculptor Nikolai Khodov.
The place where the sculpture of Uastirdzhi on a horse is placed is also a sacred place. Under the rock from which the divine horseman flies out, there is a special platform where you can leave an offering, usually coins, and ask St. George to intercede. This is a long tradition... everyone who goes to the mountains by car asks for a safe and easy way, for protection from falling rocks on the mountain roads.
The eldest sits in the middle, the second eldest sits on his right hand, and the third eldest sits on his left hand. The toast can only be pronounced by the elder. And You can drink only after the elder.
The first toast is, of course, thanks to God that everyone is alive and well.
The second toast, since only men were sitting at the table, always thanks to Uastirdzhi. After all, they got to this table, which means Uastirdzhi helped ... showed the way ... And only the third toast will be for the birthday man, for the newlyweds ... only the third toast will be on the occasion, because of which they gathered
After also asking Uastirdzhi for intercession and a safe road, we headed to the next destination of our trip, the mining ghost village of Sadon.
Once upon a time, Sadon flourished ... it was one of those places called a socialist paradise, where people lived beautifully and happily ... and even after our country turned to capitalist tracks, it did not lose its attraction ... but, as it always happens, one summer night in 2002 an unexpected event happened that radically changed the fate of the inhabitants of the mining village... but that's what our next video is about …

Северная Осетия — Алания. Красивые места откуда не хочется уезжать.
Яндекс.Дзен

Мидаграбинские водопады — жемчужина Северной Осетии-Алании, главная достопримечательность республики. От Владикавказа до них — чуть больше часа езды на автомобиле. Они там, где Даргавский котлован и Гизельдонское ущелье образуют Мидаграбинскую долину. Имя ей дала река, протекающая здесь — Мидаграбиндон, что в переводе означает «глубокое ущелье». Это сказочное место называют долиной водопадов — ведь его окружают горы с водопадами и водоскатами.
Даргавский историко-археологический комплекс более известный под названием «Город мёртвых» — памятник федерального значения. Расположен в 42 км. от г. Владикавказа на территории древнего селения Даргавс в одноимённом ущелье. Датируется XIV — I-ой третью XIX в. и включает 95 склеповых сооружений различных типов.
Кармадонское ущелье в Северной Осетии — часть горной системы Большого Кавказа, оно располагается на высоте от 750 до 1200 метров над уровнем моря. По дну ущелья протекает река Геналдон, образующая долину. Из-за нее массив иногда именуют Геналдонским. В верховьях располагаются ледники Колка и Майли. Горный каньон получил печальную славу после трагедии 2002 года, когда сошедший ледник Колка уничтожил поселок Верхний Кармадон и унес более ста жизней, в том числе съемочную группу Сергея Бодрова-младшего. Сегодня Кармадонское ущелье часто посещают туристы, которые хотят увидеть своими глазами место катастрофы и почтить память погибших.
Цей — российский горнолыжный курорт и центр туризма в Алагирском районе Северной Осетии. По Цейскому ущелью проложена серпантинная дорога от пгт Бурон, расположенного на Транскаме. Цей удачно расположен в ущелье гор, что защищает его от ветра, делая пребывание на курорте очень комфортабельным.
Сказский ледник – один из самых доступных ледников в Северной Осетии. К леднику можно подняться на канатной дороге, длина которой чуть более 1,5 километров. Перепад высот станций канатки – с 1900 до 2400 метров над уровнем моря.

8:00 Halt. Midagrabin lake
Still under the impression of visiting the City of the Dead (link to a video about this amazing place in the upper right corner of the screen, as well as in the description), we slowly moved along the Midagrabin Gorge towards one of the brightest pearls of North Ossetia - the Valley of Waterfalls.
Only two objects from the remarkable places of North Ossetia made it to the pages of the guide to anomalous zones and amazing places in Russia, and one of them is the Valley of Waterfalls in Midagrabin Gorge.
We leave the car and walk along a picturesque road, breathe in the delicious air infused with mountain herbs and admire the wondrous beauty of the mountains.
The first to inform the world about the exceptionally beautiful valley with waterfalls in Midagrabin was the teacher of the women's high school from Vladikavkaz and passionate traveler Maria Preobrazhenskaya. By the way, she is considered the founder of women's mountaineering.
There are more than 50 waterfalls in the Valley of Waterfalls... small and large, seasonal and permanent...
All the waterfalls of the valley originate on the peaks of the Kazbek-Dzhimarai snow glacier massif and flow into the Gizeldon, a mountain tributary of the Terek.
The valley of waterfalls is overflowing with the sound of flowing, falling, water hitting rocks... And since we are 70% water, there is a feeling that the body enters into a kind of resonance with the unique atmosphere of the valley.
- Are you improving the riverbed?
- That's the direction I am going for.
- Change the direction of the river a little bit, right?
- Because if it overflows, it's impossible to get through.
At last we have reached the first height in Midagrabin Gorge, the foot of the Great Zeygalan Waterfall. Half an hour of the hardest climb and we are there ...
Forgetting how to breathe, we stand side by side.
Water and stones, a heavenly organ
In Midagrabin, in front of the waterfall
Known as Big Zeygalan
Beautiful and powerful, the second largest waterfall in the Valley of the Falls, but certainly the most beautiful. It rises on a glacier at an altitude of more than 3 km above sea level. Zeygalan translated from Ossetian means falling avalanche.
The abundance of this waterfall depends greatly on the season and the weather: for example, in sunny weather the flow of water is many times stronger than in cloudy weather, because it is fed by a glacier that hardly melts without heat.
We still have a way back to go
We began the descent to the car... I would like to say that the descent is more difficult than the ascent... Oh, be careful!
We still had to visit Dzivgis rock fortress in Kurtatinsky gorge and Koltso waterfall. After that, we could consider the mission of the first day of the excursion accomplished and return to the Alexandrovsky Hotel with peace of mind (link to the video in the description).
Before leaving the Midagrabin Valley, we stopped on the shore of a picturesque lake. With great pleasure we ate an Ossetian pie washed down with fragrant tea infused with mountain herbs. These dishes were given to us as a surprise by Tourism Ossetia, represented by its founder and our guide Alan! Ossetian hospitality in action!
The grandeur of the mountains, the clear and fragrant air and the beauty of the soul of the inhabitants - all this, and not only this, makes North Ossetia! And we want to come back here many, many times!

Monastery of Saint George of Choziba in Palestina Cisjordania, West Bank Palestine
The Monastery of Saint George of Choziba (Arabic: دير القديس جورج, Greek: Μονή Αγίου Γεωργίου του Χοζεβίτου), also known as Monastery of Choziba (or Hoziba) or Mar Jaris, is a monastery located in Wadi Qelt in Area C of the eastern West Bank, in the Jericho Governorate of the State of Palestine. The cliff-hanging complex, which emerged from a lavra established in the 420s and reorganised as a monastery around AD 500, with its ancient chapel and irrigated gardens, is active and inhabited by Greek Orthodox monks. It houses the relics of Saint George of Choziba, after whom the monastery is named, as well as the relics of Saint John of Choziba (420/450-520/530) and those of Saint John of Choziba the Romanian [ro] (1913-1960)

💵The debit card I use when abroad without fee for the currency exchange:
The monastery is reached by a pedestrian bridge across Wadi Qelt, which many believe to be Psalm 23's valley of the shadow of death. The valley parallels the old Roman road to Jericho, the backdrop for the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29–37). The monastery is open to pilgrims and visitors.
Established during the Byzantine period near Jericho, it was destroyed by the Persians in AD 614, rebuilt in the 12th century during the Crusader period, abandoned after their defeat, and rebuilt again by Greek monks starting at the end of the 19th century. The location of the monastery has been associated with the lives of Elijah and that of the parents of the Virgin Mary. That, allied with the Eastern Orthodox saints whose relics are kept in the monastery, both make it a site of intense pilgrimage.
