Being a wild traveler is a special thrill! You are free to move to all four corners of the world, wherever your heart calls you and your soul beckons. You are open to everything new, and every road promises to be the best in life. Around every turn, a gift of fate awaits. Behind every door is a new acquaintance.

And now we are with you we go to Gelendzhik, resort town, so attractive azure sea, a delightful embankment and the secrets of ancient dolmens.

The road past this city passes on a hill, and if you look from there, you will see a moon-shaped bay with quite big city. There, at the top, you can see a beautiful square with flowers and the inscription “Gelendzhik”. Not far from her, last year I was lucky.

By the way, the inscription “Gelendzhik”, only different, can be seen below:

On one side is Megafon, on the other is Gelendzhik

Rent a home

Where does rest begin? Of course, with rental housing. And it was not for nothing that I mentioned wild tourism at the beginning, because only solo traveler we choose where to live and for how long.

Holidays in Gelendzhik without intermediaries are possible if you find accommodation in advance from private owners on special websites, or use the services of websites like Booking and with their help rent a hostel or hotel room. It all depends on your wallet. You can take a closer look at the houses on which it is written "Housing for rent" or go to the station and there people who want to rent out a room will come up to you.

For the most desperate and freedom-loving, I can offer another option - this website Couchsurfing. Here you can write to people who offer to stay with them for free (helping the owner with the housework is welcome). This option will allow you to expand your circle of acquaintances and save money. However, during the hot season in such popular cities as Gelendzhik, it is very difficult to find a free host.

What to do in Gelendzhik?

You probably know that Gelendzhik is famous for its chic long embankment. I have already written about her. Here are just a few photos:

Today we will go to the place for which I came here. This valley of the Zhane River and its dolmens.

But indeed, everyone who chooses a holiday in Gelendzhik must go on an excursion to the dolmens - either with an organized group or on their own. We will go to the ancient sanctuary by car.

Dolmens of the Zhane River

An independent trip to the dolmens of Gelendzhik has many advantages. Firstly, you go there whenever you want. A best time To visit, it’s early in the morning, preferably before opening, in order to enjoy the walk without the constant rush of tourist groups. I did just that, becoming almost the first visitor to the valley.

You can get here by driving along the highway M4 "Don" 15 km towards Sochi to the village of Vozrozhdenie. The landmark is the bridge over the Zhane River. Next you will see something like a checkpoint with a parking lot on the left as you go. There you need to buy a ticket (it was 250 rubles) and you can start traveling along the river bed.

This sign can be seen from the road

First waterfall on the way

The first one on the way was the so-called "Cultural, recreational, creative center", which was empty at that time, apparently everyone was still sleeping. As I understand it, various types of yoga, qigong and other spiritual and creative practices are practiced here:

Part of the creative center

Next there was another bridge across the river, behind which again began a certain center with trading stalls and tents, where a man gave us a personal presentation for free with music and a film on the theme of dolmens and a drawing of symbolic prizes for correct answers. Honestly, I was very impressed! The acoustics are great, the story is exciting, the atmosphere is appropriate. Added inspiration for the day)) They also sell spices, honey, teas, herbs and clay dolmens.

Zhane River

And in the next clearing, dolmens finally appeared before me. There are three of them: dolmen of harmony, dolmen of wish fulfillment and dolmen of hidden possibilities.

Dolmen of Wish Fulfillment and Dolmen of Harmony

Dolmen of Harmony

The latter is dilapidated, but very convenient for visiting (so to speak).

Dolmen of Hidden Possibilities

You can also get into the middle one – wish fulfillment – ​​but with more effort. Usually people just sit on top of it, and some even lie there, whispering the secrets of the Universe.

Dolmen of Wish Fulfillment

The feeling here is really pleasant. I won’t say that there is magic and magic, but there is something harmonizing, calming and inspiring, penetrating to the depths of the soul. Especially before the tourist groups arrived.

When I was there, one of the wild tourists climbed inside the dolmen with a guitar and sang songs there. The acoustics are amazing, the song is also nice. Everyone sat and enjoyed the music. However, the guide, approaching with the group, became angrily indignant and asked the musicians not to interfere with the tour. And then this angry man continued to talk about the spiritual meaning of dolmens. Don't you think this is a little inharmonious?

Yes, you can listen to the guide, but isn’t it better to listen to yourself, to your feelings, because it’s not for nothing that dolmens are considered resonators of the Universe. Perhaps this is where you will enter into synchronicity with her and your destiny?

There is a theory that the dolmen has its own field, not recorded by instruments. The reason for this is that the slabs contain silicon oxide (SiO2), and this is, in fact, quartz. According to some versions, quartz can convert compression energy into electrical and electromagnetic energy and vice versa - the electromagnetic field causes vibrations. Thus, quartz creates acoustic and electromagnetic waves and the dolmen sounds. Man, as a more finely tuned instrument of the universe, is able to sense these fields and resonate with them. This is the magical power of dolmens.

We go in the direction of the arrows leading to the waterfall.

Let's go to another one group of dolmens of the Zhane River. Dating back to the 3rd-2nd centuries BC.

Of the integers there is only one, called Dolmen of Spirit. The rest are destroyed.

All dolmens, except one, are destroyed here

Here people sit on the stones in meditative calm. Some write poetry, some draw, others are simply immersed in contemplation of their inner world.

I decided to climb into the dolmen, fortunately it was not deep, and feel its power for myself, especially since it wouldn’t hurt to add more fortitude. It turned out to be more difficult to get out))

Another view of the Zhane River

Higher and higher along the Zhane River. And now it opens before us Emerald Falls and the cup under it, called Cup of Love. It would seem that a mountain river should be cold, but surprisingly it is not so. The water is so warm that I simply didn’t want to get out of the lake. Even in the sea it’s probably cooler.

Despite the cloudy day, the emerald hue of the water was still easy to read.

Cup of Love and Emerald Falls

Near the waterfall there is a cafe where you can have a snack from some oriental cuisine.

But we didn’t go to the next waterfall, especially since we didn’t know if it existed, because... walked at random. However, it later turned out that if you climb higher, you can find several more waterfalls.

At this point, the hike through the Zhane valley was completed and you can slowly return to, finally sitting a little more in the dolmen clearing and stocking up on aromatic spices.

As a result, I will say that when stopping to rest in Gelendzhik, be sure to visit the dolmens, and preferably without an excursion, so that you can directly, without haste, without fuss, walk through the forest, enjoy the inner silence and feel the rhythms of the Universe, sounding through these amazing structures of our ancestors.

Visiting Gelendzhik and not seeing dolmens is the same as going to Egypt and not seeing the pyramids. After waiting for the end of the rain, which unexpectedly postponed the trip, I was able to negotiate with an experienced guide and researcher of these places... And finally I was able to see the dolmens with my own eyes.

Dogs love the central dolmen...

Dolmens - the place of power of the Zhane River (Gelendzhik)

As I wrote earlier (see material:) I managed to get to the area of ​​the Zhane River in Gelendzhik, a place known for the Anastasievites (many call them a sect) and the presence of many dolmens.
Despite the fact that the day before it had been cold rain, and according to the weather forecast it had to go for another three days, on the day when we were supposed to be with our guide (Kosolapov Vladimir Vlasovich), the sun was shining brightly from the very morning... As if an unknown force had dispersed clouds, despite the opinion of the Roshydrometcenter...


Kosolapov Vladimir Vlasovich - famous dolmen researcher

The path to the dolmens lay through the forest and the shallow Zhane River itself

Also in the village of Vozrozhdenie in this very valley of the Zhane River, in the forest and in the clearings, many tent campers hang out. Among them are Hare Krishnas, Shaivites, Anastasievites, hippies, etc. They live there quite peacefully and amicably...

Oigi?

And here is the central dolmen "Ecumenical". Our guide did not recommend climbing into the dolmen. Nevertheless, many climbed there with their children.


They say dolmens make wishes come true. I don’t know - I haven’t checked :) I would like to listen to people who were there and their lives improved significantly.

In general, do you know why you can’t climb into dolmens?
I will tell you only the basic theory (without burial grounds and other things - otherwise the Anastasievites say they collect (scrape off) the inner part of the dolmen and make tea with it... Will there be much usefulness in the carrion? After all, people were buried there...). So, let's imagine that a person is a light bulb - and instead of 220 volts they will give more to the light bulb... What could happen? It will burn... And an unprepared person can go crazy. There is a story when they say that a young couple climbed into a dolmen and spent the night there. In the morning the girl spoke in poetry, just like the guy. Which started to look a little different...
There is another story - very similar to the truth, they say that a young couple with a baby came to the dolmens and left the baby (naked, which is interesting) to frolic nearby. Well, both parents (some idiots) climbed inside the dolmen... When they finally got out of the dolmen, it turned out that the baby was being gutted by a fox... They managed to save the guy - and he now lives in Gelendzhik...

The dog is going crazy... They say they love energetic places...

Right dolmen. Harmonies. In terms of energy, you can feel hidden strength and power. A little later, talking with the historian guide, I told him about my feelings.
At the same time, he said that the right and left dolmen are hard in energy, and the central dolmen studied goodness and warmth. And in general, it was pleasant to be next to him... Smiling, the guide replied that the side dolmens are of a male type, and the central one is of a female type:) It was clear that he was pleased with the coincidence of the sensations coming from the dolmens with the historical theory...

The sun is certainly not the best for filming - but that’s how it is!

Tomorrow I will try to finish part 2 about the dolmens of the Zhane River and a little later I will post part 3 - an interview with a historian who has studied dolmens all his life...

Update
Part 2.

The glory of Gelendzhik is not only seaside resorts. Old-timers know many places where cherished dreams come true. Whether to believe in miracles or not is up to everyone to decide for themselves, but in any case, a walk along the picturesque paths of legends will become one of the most vivid memories of the holiday season.

What can magic do?

Before calling on unknown forces, it is worth understanding that no magic will do for us what we must do for ourselves. If you do not book a hotel room before leaving for the resort, the roof over your head will not materialize from space. So you will have to call hotels in Gelendzhik and solve other everyday problems on your own. Magic is in charge of global matters - fortune, health, the nuances of family relationships and the great secret of love.

Where wishes come true: top 5 places of power in Gelendzhik

What does a person need to be happy? Health, prosperity, a strong family and a little bit of luck. If the legends do not lie, then after a vacation in Gelendzhik life will become a full cup, but for this you need to visit five places of power.

Dolmen Valley in Kupriyanov Gorge in Olympus Park. Five megaliths, created in the image and likeness of ancient religious buildings, are not inferior in strength to real ones. Each megalith has its own specialization: local residents They will show you which dolmen you should turn to with requests for health, love, luck, fulfillment of desires and awakening of talents. Once inside the megalith, feel free to ask the spirits for help - they almost never refuse anyone.

Stone bowl with “living” water — business card Lake Aya. According to legend, a sip of spring water flowing into a bowl gives longevity. A few steps away, as expected, a spring with “dead” water is discovered. By bathing in it, you can get healing from chronic diseases.

Wish tree at the sources of the Bigussky waterfall. To improve financial affairs, you need to tie a red ribbon on a tree branch, and for good luck - a blue or green one.

Fountain of Lovers on the embankment. If you stand on a bronze globe level with a sculptural group depicting a young couple and throw a stone into the sea from there, you will soon find love. And if you already have a soulmate, the marriage will be faithful and happy.

And finally, for those who are not afraid to face fate, all that remains is to visit an authentic ancient Dolmen in Safari Park. After spending the night next to him, you can see your future in a dream or get an answer to an important question.

After mystical passions, you will probably want peace and comfort. Hotel complexes luxury class hotels will gladly open their doors to welcome a tired traveler. Comfortable 4-star hotels on the city map or on the popular portal Oktogo.ru regularly publish and update information about availability.

Travel to Krasnodar region, Sochi, Lazarevskoye

On the evening of December 11, our group of 15 people arrived at the base in the village of Lazarevskoye, Krasnodar region. After settling into rooms and evening exercise, having dinner with the hospitable owners of the mini-hotel, everyone went to rest.

Early in the morning of December 12, a 20-seater minibus arrived for us, the driver was Sergei, who met us at Adler airport and subsequently transported us along the entire travel route.

After breakfast and a short preparation, everyone cheerfully boarded a mini-bus and headed towards the gorge of the village. Thessaloniki, where the local huntsman and local historian Vladimir was waiting for us, who later accompanied us when climbing the mountain along its slopes.


After a rather long steep climb, the group first came to a picturesque waterfall on a mountain river, and only then to the first two Dolmens of the dolmen group located on this mountain.

We called the first Dolmen “Old Man”, since it is a rather large trough-shaped dolmen with a fallen lid and a pyramidal upper projection located to the left of the portal. The dolmen is notable for the fact that in the center of the broken and slipped lid there is a hole, reminiscent in shape and size of a dolmen portal. And also the appearance of the rock itself has a rounded shape at the bottom and a strange scaly surface at the base. The impression is that the entire rock was processed from below instrumentally and delivered from another place.

The whole group noted the fact that while on the “Old Man” dolmen, people felt relief after a long climb. The shortness of breath has disappeared. There was a desire to think about the eternal, to admire the beauty of the surrounding gorge. Apparently, the energies passing through the Dolmen have a beneficial effect on humans, which Mehdi also noted while on the surface of the Dolmen. Vladimir told the group members that there were several Dolmens in this area, which disappeared from their places without a trace, which was confirmed by other witnesses to these events. Moreover, they were located in places hard to reach for any equipment, and the process of dismantling and removal was quite difficult. Which once again reminds us of the mysterious forces associated with Dolmens.

Adjacent to the “Old Man” Dolmen on the right is a smaller Dolmen, also trough-shaped with a intact but cracked lid. They named him Dolmen “Grandson”.

The energy of that place also turned out to be positive and even healing. Holding hands and forming a circle around the Dolmen, on the advice of Mehdi, closing their eyes, everyone made a wish. Touching the Dolmen in the back, a warm zone was discovered and several group members felt relief from pain in the joints of their legs, this especially helped Radik, as it relieved old pain. Also, in the area of ​​this Dolmen, group member Vlad noticed an ancient burial in the form of a mound with a masonry of identical stones, to which Vladimir said that this was apparently not a looted medieval burial. Here Mehdi felt that Dolmens may be a means of communication among the inhabitants of an ancient antediluvian civilization, their age is from 10 to 15 thousand years. They were used to provide long-distance warnings about enemy raids and events in a specific area. The Dolmen chambers are frequency resonators; the Dolmens themselves stand above the fracture sites. Ancient civilization could communicate telepathically and, entering into resonance with the energies of the earth in the resonator chamber of the Dolmens, the thought was transmitted at a distance to the Dolmen that corresponded to the same frequency characteristics. The inhabitants of that civilization were much larger in size than people, and the construction of Dolmens was not particularly difficult for them. This is just a theory, but it has the right to life and is confirmed by the sensations of the strongest psychic. In any case, the location of the Dolmens above the faults in the earth's crust and the shape of the chamber for resonance speak about the energetic purpose of the Dolmens. Perhaps these were also accumulators of energy clots, since all of them had massive plugs in portals or traps for the same plasmoids, generated by faults during the movement of layers of the earth's crust, and the piezo effect produced by this. And there is no longer any doubt that Dolmens are connected with energies and their frequencies. Their secondary use, by more modern inhabitants in the past, is as storage facilities, temples, and ritual places of sacrifice to gods and spirits. And a later use - burial places for the remains of individuals and entire families and clans of Circassians and Alans who lived in these territories in the relatively recent past. Also, under many mounds, small Dolmens are found, in which there are remains of the dead and objects corresponding to that era.

So let's get back to our expedition. After the ritual at the “Mushroom” Dolmen, we moved to the dolmens of the slope, where we found a huge trough-shaped Dolmen completely covered with soil, but, unfortunately, only the “trough” itself is visible on the surface.

Further, already going down the forest slope, we came to a strange rock formation, reminiscent of the walls of a gigantic structure torn apart by a powerful explosion. And even on some stones there was some kind of processing, again in the form of large “scales”. Just below the rock there is an interesting trough-shaped dolmen, tilted (possibly from the impact of this explosion to the side). The uniqueness of this Dolmen is that it has a so-called false portal in the left wall. A convex hemispherical “false” plug. The dolmen was called “False Portal”

Next we went down to an interesting Dolmen with a broken lid slab, it is also trough-shaped, with a ledge on the back wall with a strange ornament in the form of nine identical recesses, similar to some kind of control circuit. The worker dolmen and everyone nearby felt impulses of energies emanating near his portal. The dolmen was called “Nine”, according to the number of recesses on its base. Mehdi told us that this Dolmen was used as a time machine.


Even lower is a Dolmen with a missing lid, protruding above the slope, also trough-shaped and quite large.


Nearby there is also a strange pile of rocks, giving the impression of a broken building. While inspecting the last Dolmens for today, it began to drizzle and dense fog descended.

And we still had a long descent from the mountain ahead of us. But everyone got down safely, loaded into a mini-bus and went to our base in Lazarevskoye to see Ilgiz, where a delicious barbecue was waiting for us. The day ended with a delicious dinner with pleasant fatigue, with conversations about dolmens, about the secrets that surround us everywhere, with songs and jokes. The next day, December 13th, the rain stopped safely and did not bother us anymore. After breakfast, we boarded a minibus and went to the famous Volkonsky Dolmen, going down to it and inspecting and photographing, paying attention to the strange vegetation on the stones, hollows in the surface of the dolmen and the heel stone fused into it, we listened to Mehdi’s feelings. Where he said that the Dolmen has long been used as a place of sacrifice and, therefore, has quite negative energy. This is one of the only surviving completely monolithic Dolmens, the chamber of which is made through a portal. The dolmen is carved into a huge sandstone rock and is located between two rivers flowing down the gorge, just above the Volkonsky gorge fault. And it is probably the most visited by tourists in the area.



But our interest lay a little further than the location of the Volkonsky Dolmen, to the “Two Brothers” rocks, or rather to their reverse side. These rocks are located a little further along the gorge and rest against each other above the Volkonka river. The ennobled road leads there hiking trail, and it's pretty easy to get into.


So, the rocks have strange round dents scattered across the entire surface of the back side of these rocks. The impression is that the dents were left by some high-temperature object that collided with a stone wall. The shape of the more melted rim and the depressed spherical surface of the dents indicate this.


To which Mehdi said, referring to his feelings, that this may be the impact of some kind of energy weapon of the ancients. Plasma or cannon. Perhaps this is a collision of ball lightning or plasmoids born from the fault of this gorge and whose path is blocked by these rocks. By the way, in the area of ​​the Volkonsky Dolmen, luminous balls and flashes of certain energy objects are often observed. Electronic equipment often breaks down. It was there that Mehdi’s phone broke down completely and could not be repaired. But why only him? Perhaps the fusion of Mehdi’s personal energy and local energy led to an overabundance, and what happened was what happened.

After performing the ritual of installing a stone pyramid and doing a general photo session, the group went up to the bus. And our path continued further into the Mamedovo Gorge, where we had to climb to picturesque waterfalls that form a whole multi-level cascade. After making several ascents and descents, we finally reached the river. Igor and Irina took a bath in the icy waters of the “Youth” and “Love” waterfalls, respectively.


Everyone happily washed their face and posed for photographs in this picturesque and strong, energetic place. We rested and headed back. After having lunch at a trout farm and drinking herbal tea, everyone went up the slope to the “Healer” or “Pyramid” Dolmen, a large trough-shaped dolmen of the Mamedov Gorge.

The dolmen, like everyone else, made an impression on the whole group. On this day, the energy from it felt heavy and negative, which Mehdi told us about, but at the wishing tree, burned out from the inside by a lightning strike, we all felt a surge of strength and vigor.

And holding hands around, they made their deepest wishes, tying ribbons on the tree.

Having gone down to the bus, we happily loaded up and went to the sea, to meet and spend the evening sunset. After all, tomorrow we are leaving...

At the sea, everyone wet their hands and feet, since the winter water was already cold, took pictures and went to the base, where a farewell dinner and a heated bath awaited. After dinner, Mehdi gathered us all and here it is - a psychic’s opinion about what he saw.

Shocking facts about dolmens from psychic Mehdi:

“At different periods of time, dolmens were used in different ways: some kept pets there because it was not damp, some used them for storing food (since the temperature was always cool), some used them as burial places, some sometimes it was used as a place of detention (prison), someone used it as an isolation ward (for sick people)... If you imagine all the action in our time, then dolmens were both a refrigerator and a cage, a grave, a place for sacrifice. Also, these places were used as a refuge from someone (something), sometimes used to hide children. There are a lot of versions and they all have reasons.

And now I’ll tell you my vision: I am firmly convinced that 7 years ago I said what was confirmed after the trip - dolmens were used for communication at a distance, in modern world this is a walkie-talkie. How the mechanism worked: dolmens are often located on coastline on a hill. Some structures have the opening sealed, meaning there is no entrance to them. Such dolmens are amplifiers for transmitting information. The original sound was achieved with the help of a large instrument, which at one end entered into the hole of the dolmen and the person “dooled” there three times, after which the hole was closed. The resonance reached another dolmen, which was located at a certain point in a certain diagram. And in order to transmit information to distant dolmens (which were very far away), amplifier dolmens (which were sealed) were needed. Next to each dolmen there were settlements where people lived. That is, where there was a dolmen, there was a settlement. Near each dolmen there were those who guarded it, and if the guard saw the enemy approaching (mainly from the sea), it gave warning signals in the form of 3 sound signals. In today's language - alarm signals. In this way, information could spread along the chain from one settlement to another. This distance could be more than 10 km. If the signal was not strong enough, the dolmen keepers repeated it. The age of the dolmens is more than 10 thousand years, and everyone who lived in this area afterward did not know about the original goals and objectives of the design, which means they used them as it was convenient for them.

It is a pity that today some dolmens are badly destroyed. This cannot be allowed. This is the heritage of our ancestors, which must be preserved. From my visions, I can roughly describe the people who built the dolmens. They were different from modern humans, they were highly developed physically, 10 times stronger than us, and were about 4 meters tall. When I saw the monolithic dolmen, I understood the answer, since basically dolmens were built in a U-shaped way, the main blocks were turned and a roof was laid on top, which weighed several thousand kg. And who could put such a stone?.. Strong and very strong people. Then about 10 people 4 meters tall will be enough. But when I saw a monolithic dolmen with a hole, I realized that there were people like us at that time. The hole in the monolithic dolmen was made by a person using a transparent liquid and a special tool. First, the stone was treated with a liquid that corroded the surface, and then the work was carried out with a tool. The clear liquid acted like an acid. I would also like to say a few words about the fact that in those distant times these “big people” were very afraid of their enemies, but it is difficult to describe who these enemies were. If I write this, it may make many people laugh, because it is connected with mythical creatures and with the same “big people”.

So, dolmens were intended to transmit signals at a distance, but also on some dolmens I saw certain signs that spoke of creating contact between worlds. In addition to these signs, the depicted constellations were also visible, but they were unclear (destroyed by time). I have no more evidence, but still, according to my feelings, the original appearance of the dolmens was different. Now we see only a stone frame. The upper cladding of the dolmens was darker and on top of it were depicted drawings and hieroglyphs. It's a shame they didn't survive. What we see as images on dolmens now is the work of a person who simply decided to carve or knock something out or depict it on stone as a keepsake. It even happens that some people take part of the dolmens and move them to the territory of their possessions. probably in order to then build a business on this and show off the historical find for money. Please understand that this is our heritage and it is important to respect it. Modern houses stand for 200-300 years and then collapse, but these architectural monuments have stood for many centuries, and more specifically, for more than 10,000 years. Have respect for this and for those who built these structures.”

The next morning, everyone said goodbye to the hospitable owners of the mini-hotel, Ilgiz and Sonya, and went by bus to the airport. 100 km of Sochi serpentine. Before departure, we visited the Olympic Village and the venues of the 2014 Winter Olympics.


Then we said goodbye to our friends from Krasnodar: Vlad and Natasha and flew safely to Moscow. This is how our trip went. The team was very united and friendly. MehdiTravel expresses its deep gratitude to everyone who participated in this journey. See you again!
