Brief information on the area

The nature park "Big Thach" for many years exists in the Republic of Adygea. It pleases travelers with its nature. The unique landscape, proximity to the Caucasian reserve make it a favorite place to visit at any time of the year. The nature of Bolshoi Thach will make you take a new look at travels, feel the romance and comfort of the forest zone and the beauty of the boundless views opening from ancient ridges.

Winter Thach is a mystery of warm booths, crackling of a stove on a long blazy evening, the beauty of white sparkling snow and
the grandeur of the stone giants - Big and Small Thache. The mountains of Adygea in winter are not predictable. Most of the route is carried out on snowshoes, but sometimes there is so little snow that there is a real opportunity to go this route without the use of special equipment.
