Kabardino-Balkarskaya respublic

It is located at an altitude of just over 3500m. Ahead of the pass is situated Georgia. This place is not very famous, so there are few tourists here.

The Belaya River begins at mountain Fisht glacier and is cold and stormy. So if you want to switm in it, you need to do it with caution, carefully and only in certain calm places. Otherwise, it will blow away, spin, hit with rocks, and that's it. There have been so many similar cases already. This small, quiet backwater is one of the calmest and very beautiful places where you can just sit and admire the river or swim in it without the risk of being swept away by an icy stream.
