Out and back

A comfortable trail running route passing exclusively along the trails of the Baksan Gorge. The route features a gradual elevation gain and is logically divided into three sections:

  • First: the 'Tegenekli – Narzanov Meadow' eco-trail, which includes crossing the Yusengi River via a small bridge.
  • Second: the 'Narzanov Meadow – Cheget' eco-trail, which involves crossing the Donguzorun River over a bridge.
  • Final: the 'Cheget turn-off – Azau Waterfall' eco-trail, crossing the Baksan River over another bridge.

The route runs along forest trails but still offers views of Tegeneklibashi, Bolshoy and Malyy Kogutay, and Cheget mountains.

A border permit is not required, as the route does not enter the border zone (which begins further up the gorge past the Azau waterfall).
