I have already been to Kiselev Rock several times. And for a long time, when this place did not gain its popularity last fall, when we... The place is beautiful and convenient for spending the night in a tent near Tuapse. Now, if only it were cleaner here, and more deserted...

Kiselev's Rock is located not far from Tuapse, or rather between Tuapse and Aga. It reaches a height of 46 meters, and if God forbid it falls, then it is unlikely that anyone will assemble the resulting “constructor”. You can drive up to the rock by car, but more on that below. Nowadays it is a popular place among people, but it remains beautiful to this day, at least for now. I can’t say that I would recommend going there in the summer season, but I generally don’t quite understand everyone who goes to the Black Sea as savages during this period.

Kiselev Rock is named after the artist Kiselev, who was the first to depict it in his paintings. His dacha was located nearby on Cape Kadosh. True, this happened back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I wonder if it weren't for this rock, would anyone know this artist? Or, to put it another way, if it weren’t for this artist, who would have known this rock? :)

This business card Tuapse can be called a wonderful natural attraction, which is located just three kilometers from the city towards the village of Agoy. This sheer cliff, fifty meters high in the form of a vertical wall right next to the water on the seashore, which is called Kiselev’s Rock.

An ancient Adyghe legend is associated with this rock.

The young horseman Dysheek - proud, hot, courageous, but very poor - fell in love and opened his heart to a beautiful Adyghe girl, whose name was Guash. The beauty's delicate skin was the color of rose petals, her voice was like that of a nightingale, and her slender figure was like that of doe. She was from a local wealthy family, so there was no end to rich suitors. The girl fell in love with the young groom Dysheek and asked her father to bless them. However, the father was categorically against the wedding. He locked his daughter under seven locks and began to match her with an elderly but very rich groom. Then the girl decided to run away from home. She sent her lover a message and made an appointment for him at midnight on the top of a cliff. Guash got out of captivity and began to wait for her betrothed on the rock. Having received the letter, the horseman in love saddled his horse and flew towards his love. However, a chase of two dozen horsemen was launched after him with the task of “finding him and detaining him by any means.” He didn’t calculate the speed of Dysheyek, flew onto a rock and shouted: “Guache!” - fell off her straight into the depths of the sea. Guash grieved for a long time at the cliff, shedding tears; she could not live without her beloved and rushed after him. In general, as the character of the famous film says: “Everyone died.” Since then, this cliff is sometimes called the “Rock of Tears,” and at night sad girlish songs can be heard here. This sad Adyghe legend has been passed down from generation to generation, and today not a single excursion to Kiselyov Rock is complete without it.

The smooth vertical facade of the rock, facing the sea, has not changed for many years.

You can get to Kiselyov Rock from Tuapse, following directly along the seashore, or from the village of Agoy. You can drive from Tuapse by car, but you still cannot avoid walking through the forest and descending.

The proof is the famous painting, created back in 1902 by the Itinerant artist Kiselyov, “Kadosh Rocks,” on which this rock is depicted. A unique natural phenomenon is surrounded by the protected forest park “Kadosh” with a magnificent virgin forest, in which there are more than twenty species of trees, many different types of shrubs, wild orchids, and vines. The top of the cliff is decorated with spreading Pitsunda pines. It has its own special unique atmosphere. Green pine needles, mosaic motley pebbles playing in the sun, pink shells among the stones, the pungent smell of brown algae thrown ashore by the waves, clear sea water, the alluring blue of the horizon where the sea and the sky connect - all this intoxicates and makes you come back here again and again. again. It’s not for nothing that Kiselyov once built a gazebo on the top of the rock, in which he inspiredly worked on his canvases. Filmmakers also liked this place. It was Kiselev’s rock and the pebble beach underneath that became the backdrop for the episode of the film “The Diamond Arm,” where the main characters came to go fishing, which turned out to be successful for some and not so much for others. And the boy who walked on the water with a halo and was perceived by the hero of the film as a divine presence was actually moving along the reefs. The local waters are literally dotted with them.

Cape Kadosh is indeed unique place, and the rock on it is a real pearl. After visiting this natural monument you should look into the Tuapse house-museum of A.A. Kiselev, where you can admire its landscapes and learn more about this rock.

How to get to Kiselev Rock

I know several ways.

1. Walk along the coast from the Tuapse beach, which is located behind the ship repair yard. The road is not very good (if you can call it a road) and walking in the heat is stressful. But for those who like hiking, it’s just the thing.

It’s better not to take risks in a passenger car and on bald tires. But if you are an ace driver or an SUV, it is quite possible to drive through.


We rode to the very end of the road. Then the road turned into a narrow path leading down to the sea. Here we set up a bivouac.


The descent to the sea is not easy. You need to go down very carefully, and not in flip-flops, but in normal shoes.


The view from the top from Kiselev Rock is amazing. But you also need to admire it carefully. One wrong move - and goodbye to the sea and the sun!

This man was born in Sveaborg, which today is one of the administrative districts of Helsinki, in 1838. Alexander was a student of the Arakcheevsky administrative building, and in 1858 he became a student at St. Petersburg University. In the fall of 1861, student unrest began to occur, so the university was closed. So the future artist became a volunteer student of the Imperial Academy of Arts. Mr. Kiselev worked in the Russian capital, but very often traveled throughout the country. He did this in order to find new landscapes for his canvases, which best reflected the nature of different seasons.

A little later, Alexander began writing Caucasian views, which gained incredible success. Among the author’s masterpieces are the paintings “Summer Landscape”, “Ukrainian Landscape”, “View of the Outskirts of Kharkov” and other works. At the beginning of the last century, Alexander Kiselev built a house in Tuapse, which is now the artist’s house-museum.

Rock of Tears

A long time ago, the Kiselev rock (Tuapse) was called the rock of tears. And all because of one ancient Adyghe legend. Once upon a time, young and beautiful girl Gouache. She fell in love with a horseman, a native of the village, which was located next to her house. He bore the name Dysheek. The couple decided to seal their love by marriage. But according to tradition, the groom had to kidnap his bride. At the peak of a rock near the sea, that very secret place was appointed. The signal for the beginning of the ceremony was to be a fire lit by Guache. On the night of the abduction, the girl decided to test her beloved one last time. She placed a flaming lamp on a log and lowered it into the water. When the guy arrived and saw the floating light, he immediately understood the intentions of his future wife. On a horse he went down into the sea and swam after a log. The horseman sank deeper and deeper into the sea. The horse was no longer visible, but Dysheyek was a strong young man. And if it weren’t for the heavy chain mail... The guy swam to the fire, but he couldn’t find the strength to go back.

The girl never waited for her beloved. From that time on, Guash, who never became a wife, often and for a long time stood on the edge of a cliff, looking out for her groom. She cried bitterly and sang songs. The woman realized that she could not live without her Dysheek and jumped off the cliff into the abyss of the sea. Water became a common grave for lovers. And the rock acquired the name “rock of tears.” They say that from time to time at night, crying and sad songs sung by a girl are heard from the top of the rock.
