   Going down via dirt road you will get to place where 2 river connects into one. Left one is Kuban', right one - Urup. For some reason resulting river is not called "Uran" or at least "Kubup".

   Visiting Fortshdadt and hills that are overlooking Armavir. We were at this place last time, but it was during winter :D.

image

   About few hundreds meters away from the place, a line of hills that goes from N-W to S-E allows a scenic walk to Fortshtadt.

   Next day we went to Armavir city.

   Famous and/or significant people from Kuban' region are on those placards. Feels weird to see such thing, like a national pride even if being from Kuban' is not a nationality to ethnicity.

   Not used to lack of traffic lights, haha.

   After Armavir we went further south east from the town and closer to river.

   Looks like old railroad leftovers. Saw here a small snake, only a line of disturbed grass was visible when snake tried to flee.

   On the way back saw this, somebody was very interested in playing with radios.

   Most of land in Krasnodar region looks like this.

   Everything is ok, just building glitched into a terrain mesh.

   Short visit to Solzhenitsin house, currently a church. As we were told to fuck off, just few quick photos.

   And of course i found a Soviet-build and abandoned building. This time a bit disapointing, it was partially destroyed.

   Unlike few of my previous pics, this photo is not crooked, it is tower being not exactly vertical.

   Not sure what those things are for.

   Hills. Again! This time i'm about 1-1.5 km away from Fortshtadt. Old fortress was located here somewhere in the end of 18th century. Fortress was called Prochniy Okop ("Solid trench" :D), and village nearby is called Prochnokopsk, kek.

   And here is a day of flying back home. We arrived to Krasnodar city several hours before a flight, so we could visit a Krasnodar park, build by ex-owner of big chain of supermarkets in Russia called "Magnit". Because of traffic jams we didn't had much time, so i managed to see only part of this cool park.
