Digoria Ossetia. Digorsk gorge

Digoria is not a mystical country from the world of Harry Potter, but a picturesque area in North Ossetia. It is so unique nature that she was taken under protection, organizing the National Park "Alania". Digoria - a great place for hiking!

Under the protection of the Caucasian ridge

The Republic of North Ossetia - Alanya stretches on the northern slope of the Greater Caucasian Range. In its western part there are two areas - Iraf and Digorsky. It is here that the mysterious Digoria is located. Since the terrain is not administrative, but historical status, it does not have clear boundaries. Unlike the Natropark "Alanya", the area of \u200b\u200bwhich is strictly defined.

The Iraf District is the third largest in the republic. Mountains take almost all of its territory. The administrative center is considered to the village of Chicola. In the whole area there are just over 15 thousand people. Perhaps during the year tourists arrive here. There are many vintage buildings in these places, there are many natural monuments. Travel and environmental trails are laid through the Alania Park. There are places attractive for climbers and climbers.

Digorsky district is two times less than Iraf in Square, but 18 thousand people live here. The administrative center is the city of Digor. It was founded in 1852 on the banks of the Ursdon River. It is curious that the population of the town took an active part in the 1917 revolution. Local attraction is a reduced copy of Christ, installed in Rio de Janeiro. The city has a local history museum.

Digoria often imply a Digorsk gorge. The whole area is conditionally divided into four parts - Stur-Digor (Big Digorius), Tanpan-Digor (flat digger), ChoniFars (side of the river) and Wallagk (upper gorge). The city of Digor, the village of Chikola, Dur-and Lesken is considered large settlements. It is believed that the name of the terrain occurred from the Ossetians-Digor residents, which lived here for a long time.

Winter in these edges is pretty soft. Summer can not be called sultry. During this period, frequent guests are rain. Often, tropical cyclones are visiting Digoria, which bring thunderstorms with abundant rains. The wind rose is such that in the winter season, sediments come from the Caspian side. The average temperature of July is +20 degrees, January - minus 3 degrees. Of course, it decreases with a height.

Iron water

The largest River Digori is considered 104 kilometer long urum. Its origins are on the Mostocet glacier, the shell of which covers the mountain slopes in the upper part of the Digor Gorge. Urum flows into the famous Terek, every second delivering him 20 cubic meters of water. The mouth is located near the village of Aleksandrovskaya. In narrow gorges, the mountain river creates standards.

The very beautiful place is called Akhhekhta, where the river as if the black mountains cut the river. Urum feeds several rivers, which also have ice origins. These include Aigamuga, Tadadon, Karagomdon and Haznidon. If in the upper course of the river has a clearly defined direction, then in the lower it is divided into many sleeves.

On the shores of Urum, several small settlements were scattered. In Ossetian language, its name means "wide." In the lower current, it is really so. However, among the locals there is another name - Iraf, which is translated as "ion water". The ions are the branch of the Ossetian people.

Cornucopia

The wealth of local nature led to the creation on the territory of the Digor of the National Park "Alania". It happened in 1998. You can get into it in the only road that loops on the banks of the Urum River. The lower boundary of the park is located at an altitude of 1350 meters, the top is at 4,4646 meters. The northern tip of the security zone borders with Georgia. Animals are in full safety.

There is no doubt that in such comfortable conditions fauna flourishes here. Twenty-five of her representatives are listed in the Red Book. Among the mammals is the Caucasian otter, the Caucasian Forest Cat and the Small Middle Ages - a rare type of volatile mice. The list of valuable birds is much wider. This is the Berkut, Caucasian Tetrayev, Sapsan, Philin and many others. In the Red Book, Krasotel Pahukhuki - Beetle, which during the danger allocates a sharp smell.

On the territory of the reserve it is realistic to meet the boar, yak and brown bear. Very graceful local roebles. Tours and sulfas in the mountains live high in the mountains. The forest is a hometown for foxes, cunits and protein. Pretty many "migrants" live in the park. From Siberia, cladows and bullfights moved here, from Europe - singeling thrills, from Central Asia - Borodachi and Ulary. In total, there are 34 species of mammals and 116 species of birds in the park.

No less diverse flora reserve. In total, about thousands of plant species grows in the mountains. But the number is not the main thing. The uniqueness of the local flora is that many of its representatives are found only here. This includes a Dolomitic bell, Digor Rye, Caucasian Gulch and others. Almost 60% of the park is covered with forests, where Pine Koch, Birch Litvinova, Gray Olha grows. The spectacular decoration of subalpine meadows are the Mountain Mak and Alpine Astra.

Recreation is impossible to change

The tourist plan is most attractive by the Iraf District, which is part of the historical digury. Fans of hiking, riding walks and skiing come here. Of particular value is the magnificent ecology, since there are practically no industrial enterprises. The work of the Fasnal Power Plant for the purity of the air does not affect. Since the Russian-Georgian border goes to the south of the district, it should be disturbed in advance about receiving the pass to the border border.

Traditional hotels in the area are a bit, but the turbases are enough. Among them is "Orlinic Nest", "Sky Threshold", "Tana Park", "Thaimazi", "Dzinaga", "Rostselmash". The village of Kamata is a visit center of Alania Park, where you can also stay for the night. Here, tourists take two guest houses - "Katyatazhable" and "Hon". By the way, the whole 12 tourist routes on the diguri starts from here. In the summer there are four children's camps in the area, including "Balts" and "Coma-Art".

Alania Park provides a rich choice of classes and entertainment. Tourists offer mountain biking hiking, horseback riding, rafting, paragliding, agricultural tours, mountaineering and even photo octot. For those who wish, they organize excursions to the Galdoridon waterfall, on the Tana Glacier, to the Glacier Karagom and the Swamp Chifandzar. The first two rounds are available even for children and the elderly. Two others have the 3rd category of complexity. The length of the routes from 3 to 16 kilometers. Passage time - from 2.5 to 12 hours. Excursions are carried out from May to October.

Hits from God and Man

As it is relumed to the National Park, in Alanya, most attractions have natural origins. In total, there are 22 facilities that have the status of a monument of nature. Perhaps the most large-scale of them is the Karag Glacier having an area of \u200b\u200b35 square meters. kilometers. In the Digor Gorge, he is a undoubted leader, and in the entire Caucasus it takes an honorable second place. In length, he is inferior only to the Bezengyan Glacier and Dye-Su.

The glacier begins on the tops of Wilpat, the Bubis-hook, Burjula, Karagom and descends down the slope of the Chief Caucasus Range, stretched 15 kilometers. Its width reaches 9 kilometers. Down it is squeezed through a narrow depression in the ridge of a width of no more than one kilometer. Since the pressure in this place is maximum, down, from a height of 3.5 kilometers, it is condensed with an enchanting icefall. The end of the glacier is at an altitude of 1750 meters.

For a long time, the Karagom was a lackless piece for climbers - too much uneasy was on him. For the first time, the glacier conquered the English climber Douglas Freshfield. In 1868 he managed to climb the icefall and translated through the main Caucasian ridge. In 1902, the Russian climber Nikolai Pogotepol tried to repeat the climbing of the British, but he failed to rise to the very top. Were on the Karagoma and their recordsmen. So the Alpanist Jerzhevsky stormed the glacier 40 times, but never rose above the end of the icefall.

In this difficult to believe, but the Natural Monument of Digori is considered a swamp Cefandzar! It would seem where to get a hurry high in the mountains? The fact is that at an altitude of 2400 meters was once a nasty lake formed by the glacier. Gradually, it overgrown to such an extent that turned into a swamp. The power of his peat sediments today reaches three meters. Chefandzar has a length of 3 kilometers and a width of about one and a half kilometers. Externally, it is an ideal intermountain plain, covered with yellow vegetation.

Digoria is rich in waterfalls - Taimazine waterfalls, Bayradi, Galauses and others will be buried here from time immemorial. The waterfall with the sonorous name is the GalDoridon has five steps and falls from a height of 35 meters. It is located on the River of the same name in the Harestsk Gorge. A powerful flow of water knocked out in black shale an extensive bowl. Among the tourists are also popular for the name "Pearl". And he is called "Crochkin's Waterfall" - in honor of the deceased climber from Taganrog. Very picturesque high-mountain Lakes Hupapa and Gulars.

The landmark is the Beanal Pine Bor, stretching on the slope at the height of one and a half kilometers. The Dzinaginskaya Polyana Fatanta is very picturesque on the banks of the Karaugomidon-Urum River. She is impressive by gigantic boulders who once brought a glacier here. A part of an ancient irrigation system has been preserved in the Dzagaraski tract. This place is just two kilometers from the turbase "Dzinaga".

In the Donar Gorge, at an altitude of 3 thousand meters, heating the glacial donomarist lake. It is necessary to visit the source of the Mineral Water "Scottat" on the bank of the river Aigamihidon. In addition to him in the reserve, the sources of "Atrakort", "Koltisur" and "Humez" are font. All of them are cold - the temperature of "mineral water" all year round does not exceed 6 degrees. Water is strongly gasped with carbon dioxide.

But not only natural masterpieces are under guard in the park "Alania". On the territory of the Digoria there is a lot of ancient facilities - scleps, tower complexes. For example, the Galiat mountain village is entirely an architectural complex of the period of the Middle Ages. Ossetians were built at home in the form of four-story towers, which were called Ganach. The buildings were located on the slopes of the mountains, so the roof of one house served the yard for neighbors. Petroglyphs are preserved near the villages. Once a silk path passed through Galiat.

In the village of Makhsky you can see the Assalic Tower, an ancient crypt complex and the sanctuary of Gummerhan. The famous digorsk sanctuations are Izad, Avd Dzuar and the river. By the way, the river is the male sanctuary, so the input is prohibited to women. Inside the temple you can get only during religious holidays. Alupinist routes for Glaciers of Taimazi and Tanantanet are held through the village of Fasnal. Fans of deltaplanism are also coming here. In the village there is a club, there is a deltadrome.

How to get

The path to the diguria lies through Vladikavkaz or mineral waters. These cities are railway stations and airports. Next, you should take the bus to the village of Chicola, which is considered the starting point for traveling through the western part of North Ossetia.

Our Turklub offers the following campaign programs:

Tell your friends!

Mountain Digoria is divided into the eastern and western parts. The conditional boundary between them is considered to be the main water artery of Digori - Urum (Irafa on the Digor Master), which in the upper reaches is formed from the merger of the Karagomdon and Hares rivers. After a merger with the Karaugomdon River (ABS. The height of 1490 m) flowing from under the Karagomsky glacier, urum becomes immediately multi-way, increasing in terms of water by 2.5-3 times. Believing further on the bottom of the wide Urumsky Gorge, the Urum River takes the two biggest inflows: on the left - Bilyagidon, right - AigamiDon. On the plain Urum comes around the village of Kalukh (abs. Height 750 m). Thus, on a relatively small segment - 20 km, reset the height of almost 750 m. You can imagine the flow of water.

The road to the rover of the Digorsky Gorge was laid along the Urum River and passes the "gate" of the National Park "Alania" in the village of Matsuta.

Almost all natural sights of Western Digoria are located on the territory of Alania Park, the passage to which is still free (2016).
For Matsuta, the road goes to the left bank of Urum. The valley is gradually narrowed, the slopes become cooler, the forest appears. The outlines of the surrounding mountains become sharp, peaks with sharp, rocky, and the slopes are incisive and steep.

6 km from Matsuta, we get to the village of Akhsau, behind which the Digor Gorge becomes wider. From here, everything is clearly visible, the whole Urumsky gorge is a grand tri with a flat wide bottom and steep cloth slopes. The spurs of the Suiga Range will come to the right of the road, on the left - the Kazanyokh massif - the huge links of the lateral ridge, separated by the transverse valley of the Urum River. The river flows along the wide bottom, looping and divided into numerous sleeves.

A peculiar rubberlike (trough) form indicates that it was created not only by the river, but also an ancient glacier, descending 20-25 thousand years ago from the northern slope of the main waterproop.

Another 4 km of the road, and at the foot of the Chirch Ridge, where the Karagomdon and Harez rivers are merged - two two main sources of Urum River, the road splits. To the left through the bridge along the Karaugomdon River, the road goes to the turbase "Dzinaga" and further into the village of Dzinaga.

We will continue the way on the other road along the Hares River to the Harez, or the Verkhne-Digor Gorge. It will appropriate here to talk about the origin of the name of the Digor Gorge. It happens from the name of the Ossetian ethnic group - Digortsev (in Ossetian - "Digoron" or "Duguron"), which doubtedly inhabited Urum's gorge.

The Upper-Digor Gorge is very beautiful. From the south over the greens of forests sparkle on white snow vertices of the main waterproof ridge, exceeding 4000 m, from the north, no less high granite arrays of the Sugan ridge are raised.

The road passes through the villages of Mosca, Odola and Stur-Digor, which is 6 km from the road. At the end of the XIX century. It was the biggest settlement in the mountain digger. In 1884 there were 588 inhabitants in it (67 yards).

Nowadays, like all Mountain villages, Stur-Digor (Ustur-Digor, Big Digoria - Osset.) I am experiencing not better times. The number of courtyards, and, accordingly, the number of residents sharply decreased. But there are many new brick houses under the tile and slate. In Stur-Digore, the old buildings (Hudzara) are well preserved. The lower floor of this house had an economic purpose, and the top - served housing.

In the village in 2007, the chapel was sanctified in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "the recovery of the dead." This is one of the most highly mountainous (2300 meters above sea level) in Europe and the Russian Federation Chapel. A kind of landmark.

Blue (the color of the Virgin) The pyramidal dome of the chapel seems to be more synne against the background of snow-white vertices, because from the village of Stur-Digor, a wonderful view of the mountains opens. Perfectly visible sacred for djittsy cube-shaped green Cubus mountain, which shares the valleys of the Hares River and Tadadon.

The last village in the gorge - Kussu, which is located near Stur-Digora - 3 km. When you are on top of Cubus, we notice that the village of Verkhne-Digor Gorge is located on the left bank of Harez almost nearby. Between them there are country villages and new recreation centers, so it seems that the villages of the villages stretch along the road with a single street.

1 km from Kussu, and we approach the recreation center "Rostselmash".

From here begins the resort zone of the Digor Gorge with databases of various sizes and comfort - for every taste and wallet. On the segment of the gorge 3 km from the Rostselmash recreation center among pine forests there are such comfortable shelters as the "Orlinic Nest", "Sky Threshold", "Tana Park", "Coma-Art".

Digorsk gorge In the Iraf District of North Ossetia - one of the most beautiful and wild gorges of the North Caucasus. It is a breakthrough by Urum River in a rocky ridge, parallel to the main ridge. The road here comes around the narrow eaves, knocked out in the rocks above the stormy waters of Urum.

Conditions for recreation and recreation in the gorge - at different heights above sea level there are dry mountain steps, wet forests, alpine meadows, a forest-steppe zone, lakes, glaciers, streams, waterfalls. There are opportunities for hiking on environmental paths, you can enjoy educational tourism, making excursions to different landscapes with their historical and cultural and architectural monuments, to engage in water slalom.

Currently, you can relax here mainly in the warm months. In winter, in the season of heavy snowfalls, there is no rest of the rest, but the landscapes at this time of the year here are beautiful here, and see these places will also be interesting in the winter months.

Climatic conditions

The climate of the mountain digoi is distinguished by a great variety. The most important climate-forming factor for this area is relief. Mountain ridges and their sangs, many valleys, gorges and intermediate boilers greatly complicate the overall circulation of the atmosphere and create a large range of microclimatic features.

Within the climate, the climate is allocated for two territories: the tassel is a sketch of the middle ground zone and the high-mountain zone.

Tasklace Body , like all the basins of the North-Jurassic depression, is distinguished by a peculiar dry climate. The rocky ridge protects it from the invasions of cold arctic air. Therefore, winter temperatures are small here. In the Fasnale, the middle January temperature is -2.4 degrees. This is the highest winter air temperature in North Ossetia. Rare temperature decreases here can reach -30 degrees. The average July temperature reaches 15.8 degrees. In the summer, although there are separate hot days, but nights are always cool. The annual amplitude of air is usually small and amounts to 18-19 degrees. For the basin, a small amount of precipitation is characterized (400-500 mm) and optimal relative humidity (62%).

The protective effect of the relief affects not only in the insignificant amount of precipitation, but also in a small speed of the wind. Local winds include mountain-valley winds and hair dryers.

Alpine zone , located above 2000 m, is distinguished by a harsh climate. Within a long winter, there is a significant saving accumulation. Stable snow cover holds 120-160 days. Winter here is relatively cold. The average monthly temperature of February at an altitude of 3000 m is 11 degrees of frost. Spring occurs at the end of April and in early May. Summer cool. At an altitude of 2500 m, the average temperature of August is a little more than 10 degrees.

A great influence on the local climate has an olelification of the waters and the Suiga ridges. The significant reflectivity of ice and the cost of heat on the melting of glaciers create a marked temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the valley. It gives rise to descending glacier winds, which at night merge with mountains.

ATTRACTIONS

The main attraction of the Digor Gorge is lake Tsada (Tabarachtsad). This is a unique mountain natural reservoir, the relic lake is the only one, located on an ancient lake, at the southern foot of the rocky ridge in the Digorsk Gorge, in the River Valley of the Aigamugidon, over the village of Upper Faraskat (1500 m above sea level). In 2004, the first joint expedition of the employees of the North Ossetian reserve and the National Park of Ossetia was taken to the specified lake.

According to experts, the lake is in the age stage, called "old age," richly overcomes and gradually turns into a pond. The bottom and walls of the initial basin throughout are covered with a more or less powerful layer of il, completely hiding its original shape. Initial Wpadina turned into a lake bed.

Above the lake rises the Rock-Oven - Alkhoan ("spindle") from limestones, once sluggish from the rocky ridge. Near it - traces of collaps with separate boulders and fuses. From under the cliffs hits a karst spring, and the noise of water is heard constantly. The west of the lake flows a small neperbating stream.

The lake has an oval form of about 60 m in length and 20-25 m wide. According to the periphery, the lake has already overgrown with reed and other moisture-loving herbs. On the dam itself - separate birch trees. From wood plants around the lake, shrub willows, birch and lapping shrub (Kuril tea) grow around the lake. This overgrowth, apparently, is amused with water only during periods of snowy and heavy rains, that is, when the lake is overwhelmed with water.

In winter, the lake freezes. Ice formation begins at the end of November-December. The shallow content of the lake, its relatively small sizes and small water exchanges are not much remarkable, but for this area, that is, the southern foot of the rocky ridge, it is the largest natural reservoir. The lake is a good object for naturally scientific excursions.

In the south of Russia there are other places that are well suited for a winter holiday. A wide selection of materials with practical information about resorts and attractions of the Caucasus is offered to the attention of readers on the "Tourism" page and in the appropriate thematic section of the "Director" on the website of the Caucasian Knot. We also invite you to see and evaluate the natural beauty of the Caucasus, with its unique landscapes and landscapes, in our special photo album "

A trip to the Digorsk gorge was scheduled for a long time, but specifically on this day, we were not going to go, there were completely different plans ... But, probably, the stars were like that, and we in the morning, for a cup of coffee, we decide - we are going!
The weather pleased, sunny autumn day + good mood and we are on the way.
Immediately I want to say that I did not like - there are no pointers to the sights, I hardly found where to eat (cafes practically no), well, the absence of refueling (gasoline must).
But for now, pass through Kabardino - Balkaria

We visit in Ossetia

We score to the nafigator the end item S. Dzinaga. There are small work on the route with you, but we did not think that objects were not identical anywhere for tourists and would have to look for them a tyk method ... and this is a time loss (((.
I am moving to the tunnel, a little without reaching it, there is a turn right - this is a path leads to a black bridge, which is thrown through R.Uurh.

The location is called Canyon Ahsinta, and if driving through the bridge, the road will lead in a tract of the dynamy (flower), to hay meadows. Highness of the canyon is about 70 meters

We pass by the Bronze Monument Wastrji. Its weight is 13 tons, height is 6 meters + cliffs of 30 meters.

Not far from the monument is the male sanctuary, there is a legend about how it appeared -
Hundreds of years ago, a lonely traveler drove along a narrow road. Suddenly, Arba almost broke into the cliff, only a miracle man stayed alive, as if some unknown force did not give to fall on the bottom of the ravine. In gratitude to Saint Wastardji and was delivered by this sanctuary, which was updated several times

And around the mountain, sun and the purest air!

Place where great prayer wald passes

On the opposite shore, we see the remnants of the towers high in the mountains and decide to roll. The turn is about five km. From the tunnel and leads to the remnants of the villages of Lezgir, DoniFars, to the Satey's glue Obao and to the necropol.

Lifting up, pumped up on an archaeological expedition, which leaves for about 20 years to these places and are excavating the settlement of Saoire. On the plot of only 70 sq.m. A powerful production center was discovered, including 5 potter workshops, 2 metallurgical complexes for the smelting of black metal and bronze, costelus complex and a workshop of the coal! Sentence age 2-4 V.V. BC!
The guys have already canned excavations to next year and the most interesting has already been covered and packaged, but we still snorched to the camera for memory

Raise even higher to the ruins of S. DonyPars

A little away is S.Lezgorm

DoniFar-lezkorsky Necropolis

A little story. S. Lesgorm is one of the most ancient villages of Mountain Digoria, in 1886 there were 58 yards in it. Residents left him in 1927 after the desired village, which brought many victims and destruction. The village was part of the Donimi Far Society and an important strategic point. From here reflected attacks of Digorsky feudal. Residents of Lezgora and other DoniFar villages never obeyed local nobility.
s. Doninfars is the only Muslim settlement in Ossetia.
Donimi-Lesgug Necropolis - a large number of stone crypts and stone stele. It is not so famous as the city of the dead in Dargava, but much larger in the area and includes the tomb of different types. Presumably, burials were made from 5 to 18th century.

Over S. Zadlessk, on the edge of the cliff is visible tower of sedan

Will road Tsyrt - Roadside stone in memory of the deceased person

Before the turbase of jinag, on the stone, a pretty shabby portrait of Stalin.

We pass a tourist account and enter the village of Dzinag

In general, we fulfilled the planned plan, the time is three in the afternoon, and we are terribly hungry))). Unfortunately there are no cafes, we were told on the campus that holidaymakers prepare themselves, because The season is closed ...
And only returning to S. Matsut, immediately before entering the reserve, we found a shop in which we were fed with delicious Ossetian cakes of a huge amount. For me, a master class was held in their manufacture, so I hope that winter evenings we will have Ossetian pies and to remember Sunny Ossetia)))

Much we did not see that we would go back ...
