Resumption of activities at the shelter scheduled from August 10 onwards.
The Caucasus Reserve is excited to announce that the "Fisht" shelter will be hosting the Gathering of Talented Youth of the Republic of Adygea from August 8 to August 10, 2025[1].
During this period, the "Fisht" shelter will not allow tent camping or overnight stays for the general public[2]. However, participants in the gathering will have the opportunity to stay at the shelter itself, as it is the designated location for the event[1].
The event promises to be a multi-day hike, with participants embarking on their journey on August 8[1]. The "Fisht" shelter offers a unique setting for this adventure, with its close proximity to the stunning landscapes of the Caucasus Reserve.
While the hike is taking place at the "Fisht" shelter, the "Instructor's Chasm" shelter will continue to operate as usual. This shelter, located on route No30, is the only available stopover on this route[3]. Radial hikes can be made from the "Instructor's Chasm" shelter, providing an alternative for those who wish to explore the area[4].
Approximately 500 people are expected to attend the event[5]. For those planning to attend, it is advisable to contact local organisers or the administration of the "Fisht" shelter for more information about accommodation and hiking arrangements.
