a brief description of

Located in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus, on the right bank of the river. Psekups (tributary of the Kuban), at its exit from the mountains to the plain, 5 km from the railway. Goryachy Klyuch station, at highway Krasnodar - Dzhubga, 65 km south of Krasnodar.

The climate is moderate continental. Winters are mild, with unstable snow cover. The average January temperature is -1C. Summer is warm, average temperature July +22C. Precipitation is about 900 mm per year.

Balneological resort. At the Goryachy Klyuch resort, several types of water are used: thermal (up to +60C), sulfide, sodium chloride-hydrocarbonate - for baths for diseases of the musculoskeletal and support organs, the peripheral nervous system, and gynecological diseases. Sulfide sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride with a lower water temperature and lower hydrogen sulfide content - for drinking treatment and balneotherapeutic procedures, mainly for diseases of the digestive system.

This article was written 4 years ago, today the data in it has been corrected and is current. Due to the fact that for some reason that is not clear to me, our site does not want to show very long articles, it has been divided into parts, read and use hyperlinks...

Working as a real estate agent in the city of Goryachy Klyuch, you can often hear typical questions from visiting people: “Do you like living in Goryachy Klyuch?”, “What is the climate in Goryachy Klyuch?”, “What are the problems in finding a job and what is the average monthly income of a resident?” Hot Key? I will try to answer all this in this article.

As the Roman playwright and comedian Terence Publius Afr once said: “How many people, so many opinions.”

So I decided to express my purely personal opinion, for some it may be true, but others will fundamentally disagree with me.

Small but very picturesque resort town of Goryachiy Klyuch in the Krasnodar Territory, founded in 1964, is a balneological resort of all-Russian significance in the Caucasus, it is one of the oldest. It seems to me, Hot key, the only city in Kuban with such nature. This quiet place, closed by mountains on three sides, is truly unique. The valley of a mountain river, covered with dense forest, can hide the summer heat and also give the winter season extraordinary softness. Anapa is the most sunny resort Russia, Goryachy Klyuch in Krasnodar region It is not at all inferior to the unusually large number of warm days per year. In the city of Goryachy Klyuch the sun is less scorching, this distinguishes it from the city of Anapa for the better. This is facilitated by the microclimate (fresh streams of clean mountain air and the coolness of a mountain river). It is also worth noting the absence of strong winds, which cause a lot of trouble for the residents of Anapa. But we will discuss the climate of Goryachiy Klyuch in more detail later, otherwise we are deviating from the topic.

It is located in the northern foothills of the Caucasus range, on the banks of the mountain river Psekups. In the neighborhood of the Republic of Adygea (the capital of the republic is Maykop), the regional center of the city of Krasnodar is approximately 60 km, and the Black Sea village of Dzhubga is also “a stone’s throw” approximately 65 km. The road to the capital of Russia, Moscow, is 1120 km long. And all along the well-maintained M-4 “Don” highway, which visitors praise very much for its smooth asphalt surface without “bumps” and “potholes,” but the locals scold and spit on it - you quickly get used to the good stuff. The railway line passes through the town of Goryachiy Klyuch, and trains traveling to and from Adler stop at the Goryachiy Klyuch railway station.

The first mention of the place now called Goryachy Klyuch date back to the beginning of the 18th century. The history of the development of this place is quite extensive, but the unique thermal hydrogen sulfide springs unite all periods of the development of the current city of “Goryachiy Klyuch”. These springs were famous for their miraculous properties even during the period when the territory of the Black Sea region was inhabited by the ancient Greeks. But let's not go that far...

“Modern” history dates back to 1864, at which time intensive development of the left bank of the Kuban and the valley of the Psekups River took place. It starts with equipping a hospital for the military. Later, special cranes were made for healing springs, built an infirmary and premises for staff. On July 15, 1864, the rite of consecration of the “Psekup” mineral springs was performed, which was personally attended by the ataman of the Kuban Cossack army, Count F.N. Sumarokov-Elston. During the lighting ceremony, the singing of the sacred minister echoed in the canyon, and a stream of light broke through the gloomy, stormy sky covered with lead clouds, illuminating the people performing the ceremony. Witnesses accepted what happened as the Finger of God and a blessing.

Thus, July 15 is rightfully considered the founding day of the city, but for reasons unknown to me, the official celebration of the city day takes place on the second Saturday of August. The current name was given to the resort thanks to underground springs of mineral water, the temperature of which reaches up to +60 C°.

In the same year, Cossacks settled in neighboring territories, former Adyghe villages. Are based, Art. Klyuchevaya (now does not exist, merged with the city. Located in the area of Klyuchevaya Street), and. Today they are part of municipality Goryachy Klyuch city.

Modern Goryachiy Klyuch consists of one urban-type settlement and six administrative districts, which includes 28 rural settlements. The total number of residents is more than 52 thousand: almost 30 thousand of them live in urban areas, 22 thousand live in rural areas. It is noteworthy that there are almost no young people here who leave to work in big cities. However, few of them can completely sever ties with their hometown.

Hot key one of the ten most environmentally friendly cities in the world! The forest occupies no less than 66% of the territory of this picturesque area, and the cleanest air can turn your head! .

There are no hazardous industries in the Goryacheklyuchevsky district, and most likely there won’t be, at least as the administration assures, there are no traffic jams yet either. You may ask why not yet? I will answer you! Recently, during rush hour, there has been a small traffic jam at the traffic light near the city administration (this, by the way, is the only traffic light in the city) which “dissolves” by itself within 5-10 minutes. Perhaps the authorities will somehow solve this minor problem. Cars are the main sources of air pollution and smoke in the city. However, driving into the resort area of the city of Goryachiy Klyuch is prohibited, traffic is carried out along parallel streets, and on the central street of the city of Goryachiy Klyuch, which, like in many cities of Russia, was renamed in Soviet times in honor of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (formerly called st. Mikhailovskaya) the “Alley of 1000 Pines” was planted and pedestrian traffic with bicycle paths was organized. The access to the park is blocked by a barrier, with a friendly but vigilant security guard who filters incoming vehicles, allowing only special personnel into the territory. transport and food trucks serving sanatoriums. Sometimes information appears in the media about the pollution of the local environment by the Goryacheklyuchevskaya Furniture Factory or the Road Construction Materials Plant, which is located in the station. Saratovskaya. But it seems to me that this is not on the same scale. There is a pine forest not far from the furniture factory; surely pine trees would not grow next to a source of pollution.

Goryachy Klyuch will be appreciated by those who like fishing, going for mushrooms, berries, nuts and chestnuts.

The relatively mild, moderate continental climate contributes to the treatment of various diseases, organization have a nice rest, excursion business and tourism. The average annual temperature in January is − 2.4 °C, and in July +23 °C. Precipitation is about 930 mm. per year - this is data from official sources.

.
.
.According to my observations, the climate is still changing, however, as elsewhere, probably because of this, every year is different from the previous one. But what especially pleases Goryacheklchevtsev is that the summer is quite long - almost at the end of April everyone puts on flip-flops and shorts, and at the end of September, beginning of October they take them off, and the winter is very warm, mild and with little snow. But I repeat, “every year is different from the previous one”! However, you can hear stories from the local population about “harsh” winters, which are perceived with a smile on their faces, especially by people who moved here from the northern regions. There are frosts down to -30°C, and a lot of snow, and in the city, as I understand it, there is a problem with snow removal equipment. Of course it's very hot in the summer! In July - August there is real heat here, the thermometer in the shade will show about 35-45 degrees, but due to the proximity of mountains and forests, this heat is much easier to bear than, for example, in Krasnodar. Very often, visitors from other colder regions are frightened by the heat, but if you are not constantly in the sun, then this ambient temperature can be tolerated quite easily. Think about it, how long will you be outside in the heat of the day? Almost every store, office, car, house has air conditioners. 21st century after all! By the end of October, autumn begins. The leaves gradually begin to turn yellow, there are warm sunny days, approximately like Indian summer in central Russia. Spring starts early. Already in February, the daytime temperature remains consistently above zero.

Given this state of affairs, it is natural that population growth occurs due to migrants and emigrants. According to official data, between 800 and 1,000 people come annually. According to the stories of the indigenous population, the figure is much underestimated. In particular, about three years ago, renting a house, even at the height of summer season It wasn’t particularly difficult, but now even in winter, it’s not always possible to find a suitable option, and the prices for renting real estate have jumped up significantly.

As already noted, over 85% of the residents of Goryachiy Klyuch are Russians, for the most part they came from Siberia or the Far East: some back in Soviet times, and some a little later. They treat visitors hospitably. Often, locals are skeptical of migrants in other regions and cities, but this is not about Goryachy Klyuch. Long conversations are not popular here. Many people in Goryachy Klyuch, and especially in the suburbs, live on their own subsidiary plots, and therefore there is a lot of work to do.

If you try to determine the qualities characteristic of the majority of citizens, then it is necessary to note such traits as kindness, sincerity, culture of communication and empathy. If possible, they will help you, give you advice, explain the way, if you don’t know how to get somewhere, maybe even guide you. Goryacheklyuchevtsy are no strangers to the problems of strangers!

There are not many young people. In search of high salaries, most move to large cities, many go to work in Krasnodar, and after work return to their beloved city of Goryachiy Klyuch, fortunately, along the highway you can get to Goryachiy Klyuch faster than to the residential microdistrict of Krasnodar. Some people look for work in Moscow, where they gradually settle down, start a family, and appear in Goryachy Klyuch only to stay during the holiday period. Middle-aged people and retirees live here permanently. Most visitors to the city have the impression that they come here mostly tired of the urban jungle and frosts of the northern regions.

Many people are often concerned about the relationship between local residents and visitors. It should be noted that the indigenous population in Goryachiy Klyuch is no more than 20%, they live mainly in the resort area of the city, where land is very expensive, it is possible that because of them it is so expensive, since for less than 1,000,000 rubles per hundred They don’t give it away. The remaining approximately 80% are migrants from different parts of our vast Motherland. You should also pay attention to the fact that there are no interethnic conflicts in the city. However, the Slavs prevail in numbers. I also want to note that the well-known and so unloved “cubanoid” is not a native inhabitant of Kuban, but a lifestyle of some Russians. And you can meet a “cubanoid” not only in Kuban, but anywhere in Russia, perhaps they will just be called differently there...

In view of the fact that the article is called “Dedicated to those wishing to move to the city of Goryachy Klyuch...”, I think the most interesting part of it will be the part dedicated to the districts of the city of Goryachy Klyuch, construction in Goryachy Klyuch and the sale of real estate...

And so let's get started...

Oh, and I almost forgot there is an excellent service that allows you to take a virtual walk around the Hot Key Google panorama

Hot Key can be roughly divided into several districts. Each, as usual, has its own pros and cons.

So-called district "Zarechye"– is considered one of the first districts of the city of Goryachy Klyuch. In “Zarechye” you can find completely rickety buildings, and new modern two-story mansions and modest, small adobe houses. This area of the city is considered the most unprestigious by the local population, and all because of the “distance” from the center, about 10 minutes on foot, you will have to walk through the brand new pedestrian bridge

(why didn’t the administration build a highway? It still remains a mystery to me, perhaps the reason is that it would be necessary to build a viaduct in order to avoid traffic jams and accidents on the Don M4 federal highway) there used to be a “suspension bridge” on cables,
(all graduates of the Goryachiy Klyuch high school met the dawn there) however, it still exists, but it is forbidden to move around it - it is in disrepair. So, a 10-minute walk, and you are in the very heart of Goryachiy Klyuch in its sanatorium-resort area, where, however, driving a car, if you still remember, is prohibited. To get by car from “Zarechye” to the center you need to cross the railway crossing and return along the highway to the central entrance to the city, but it’s not very far, it seems like 3-4 minutes on the way and you’re in administrative center Goryachy Klyuch with its offices, banks, various shops, food markets, kindergartens, etc., etc. Another disadvantage is that it is located nearby railroad station, with its bustle and noise. The roads are not important, the central streets are covered with asphalt, and further on they are gravel. But there are of course also advantages. One of them is the proximity of the forest, with its coolness, berries, and mushrooms, during the hunting season you can hunt. Trains and the loudspeaker at the railway station do not interfere much...
If you are a former resident large city, then they have been accustomed to the noise on the street for a long time, and the local population does not consider the proximity of the station to be a “minus” of their area. Minibus taxi walks regularly at intervals of 15 minutes. The area is gasified, electricity is supplied without interruption. A 3G modem from any operator provides a good connection to the Internet without any problems, in a word – beauty!

Land plots and houses are perhaps the cheapest in the city. For a hundred square meters they are asking from 90 thousand rubles, a tourist house on a plot of about 5 acres with an orchard is estimated at 1.8 million rubles with negotiations. Brick house on 2 floors of five rooms with land plot 6 acres, a bathhouse, a garage costs around 3.3 million rubles, and a luxurious house with a landscaped plot and landscape design can be purchased for 7 million rubles.

In the northeast of Goryachiy Klyuch is located, called by the local population "Razvilka" district. Construction of private houses is underway here; after a while a modern one will be built cottage village with central heating and water supply. There, thanks to the federal program and construction company"Terem" a new microdistrict was formed from modern 3-storey houses with an attic, in which the builders of the "Terem" company applied the most modern technologies in construction, the result was houses with a modern apartment layout, increased total area apartments, independent heating, modern building facade, and excellent finishing of common areas, such as the entrance, landing and flight of stairs. Today it’s dirty, uncomfortable and noisy, but what can you do – construction! The local population endures these temporary inconveniences, they understand that construction is a temporary phenomenon, and a brand new kindergarten built and equipped according to the latest fashion, so to speak, built by the way by the aforementioned Terem company, is forever. All communications have already been completed, the only thing is that the roads still promise to be much better, but as soon as the trucks with construction materials stop driving, they will lay a brand new asphalt surface. This description of the “Razvilka” district was written 3 years ago, now the global construction has already been completed, there are still local areas where construction work is underway, but the microdistrict is paved, shops, pharmacies, a SberBank branch, a Russian Post branch have opened, there is a supermarket “Magnit”, in a word, a fully developed infrastructure. There is a forest nearby. The road to the center will take 7-8 minutes by car, there are no traffic jams in the city so I think this is not a distance, minibuses run regularly at intervals of 10 minutes.

"Razvilka" has the most houses for sale. Price per hundred square meters from 200 to 400 thousand rubles. and a more or less equipped yard on a plot of 8.5 acres can be bought for 4.5 million. Not far from the “Razvilka”, there is a cottage village “Kurortny”, a closed area, central communications, “Kurortny” can boast of all this. Pros: close location to the city center, quiet, cozy place, private sector. From the minuses to this moment Construction work is actively underway, all the inconveniences are only for this reason, but part of the village is already inhabited by happy “new residents”.

District "Chepurkova Gora" It doesn’t look like a mountain at all, it looks more like a hill. Almost 10 years ago, the organization ZAO Ochakovo built the Gorny sanatorium here and is successfully improving the health of the population. Apparently, this is why sewerage was installed in the area. Unfortunately, there is no gas, but they promise to gasify the area within two to three years. Electricity is supplied stably and without interruption. The roads are asphalted, but their condition is, let’s say, satisfactory. The houses are heated with wood, local water supply, well or boreholes. The advantage of the area is that it is dry and clean, even during the spring thaw (it is still high), the air is clean and there is not a bit of city bustle. The center is a 7-10 minute walk away, as well as regular service everywhere public transport.

One hundred square meters of land on “Chepurkova Mountain” costs approximately 150-250 rubles. For a one-story brick house with an area of 140 m2 with European-quality repairs, furniture and household appliances, autonomous water supply and heating, a garage and a gazebo, they are asking 8 million with negotiations. A residential dacha in the same area can be purchased for 1.2 million rubles, and a two-room apartment in a new building for 3 million.

Administration area. The center is also the center in Africa. There are mainly high-rise buildings here - old and new. There are very few private houses and land plots, and they are quite expensive. For example, which has all the imaginable and inconceivable bells and whistles like heated floors in the house, a complete basement and a sauna, costs 25 million rubles. Prices for apartments vary greatly: in a new building without finishing work the price per square meter. m - from 40 tr., at the construction stage there are offers of 30,000 rubles per sq. m. It’s the same with secondary housing, it all depends on the location of the house, the presence of autonomous heating, the year the house was built, layout, area, and of course the quality of repairs in the apartment itself. Secondary prices range from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 for a two-room apartment. As for infrastructure, residents of the “Administration” district are provided with all conceivable and inconceivable benefits of the 21st century, all retail space, banks, government agencies, kindergartens, schools, entertainment venues are within walking distance. Any utilities, high-speed cable Internet, 4G mobile Internet.

Area "Sanatoriums", aka « Resort area» – is considered the most prestigious area of the city. This area is particularly quiet, comfortable and clean. Which is not surprising, because this area is a kind of calling card of Goryachiy Klyuch. The buildings are very diverse. A dilapidated hut may well coexist with a luxurious mansion. There are all communications, many guest houses, mini-hotels and rooms for rent, which are in great demand among vacationers. Real estate prices are not just greatly inflated, but, one might say, brutal! One hundred square meters of land here costs around a million; for the same price you can buy land on the seashore. Good houses from 25 million, simpler houses - from 20. Of course, realtors will offer you more acceptable options, but count on buying good home in the “resort area” it is not worth less than 8,000,0000. Nearby is the “old” market, more than one supermarket, excellent bus service.

Approximate map of districts of the city of Goryachiy Klyuch

A lot of people who have decided to change their permanent residence to Goryachiy Klyuch consider the Goryacheklyuchevsky district as one of the options for permanent place residence. Real estate prices in villages and villages near Goryachiy Klyuch are significantly lower, the roads are good, public transport runs frequently, and the complete absence of city bustle captivates many; there is no seasonal influx of vacationers. Great for permanent residence!

Art. "Saratovskaya" is located about 9 km. from the city of Goryachiy Klyuch, towards the regional capital of Krasnodar. The federal highway "Don M-4" is just 2 kilometers away. The village itself, in my opinion, is not very picturesque, but very civilized! In Art. Saratovskaya has its own hospital, various shops, a market, a secondary school and three kindergartens. There is a branch of SberBank with its own ATM, and several self-service stores accept plastic cards for payment. The houses are different. Those that are for sale, mostly tourist ones, are to be demolished. The plots are large - from 10 acres and above. Heating is stove. The village is gasified, but not completely. Water is usually on site, power supply is stable. All cellular operators receive a signal with confidence. Regular minibuses run frequently.

The village of Bezymyanoye is located south of the city, about 20 kilometers. Nearby there is a forest, the Psekups river, the central roads and the road to the village are paved. There is a school and kindergarten, shops, and a recently built church. The only negative that disturbs the silence and charm of the area is the nearby Goryachiy Klyuch - Tuapse railway line. The border of the Caucasian Nature Reserve is nearby, which is why there are a lot of tourists and vacationers in the village in the summer.

As the Roman playwright and comedian Terence Publius Afr once said: “How many people, so many opinions.”

So I decided to express my purely personal opinion, for some it may be true, but others will fundamentally disagree with me.

Small but very picturesque resort town of Goryachiy Klyuch in the Krasnodar Territory, founded in 1964, is a balneological resort of all-Russian significance in the Caucasus, it is one of the oldest.

The local population endures these temporary inconveniences, they understand that construction is a temporary phenomenon, and a brand new kindergarten built and equipped according to the latest fashion, so to speak, built by the way by the aforementioned Terem company, is forever. All communications have already been completed, the only thing is that the roads still promise to be much better, but as soon as the trucks with construction materials stop driving, they will lay a brand new asphalt surface. This description of the “Razvilka” district was written 3 years ago, now the global construction has already been completed, there are still local areas where construction work is underway, but the microdistrict is paved, shops, pharmacies, a SberBank branch, a Russian Post branch have opened, there is a supermarket “Magnit”, in a word, a fully developed infrastructure. There is a forest nearby. The road to the center will take 7-8 minutes by car, there are no traffic jams in the city so I think this is not a distance, minibuses run regularly at intervals of 10 minutes.

"Razvilka" has the most houses for sale. Price per hundred square meters from 200 to 400 thousand rubles. and a more or less equipped yard on a plot of 8.5 acres can be bought for 4.5 million. Not far from the “Razvilka”, there is a cottage village “Kurortny”, a closed area, central communications, “Kurortny” can boast of all this. Pros: close location to the city center, quiet, cozy place, private sector. On the downside, construction work is actively underway at the moment, all the inconveniences are only for this reason, but part of the village is already inhabited by happy “new residents”.

Administration area. The center is also the center in Africa. There are mainly high-rise buildings here - old and new. There are very few private houses and land plots, and they are quite expensive. For example, which has all the imaginable and inconceivable bells and whistles like heated floors in the house, a complete basement and a sauna, costs 25 million rubles. Prices for apartments vary greatly: in a new building without finishing work the price per square meter. m - from 40 tr., at the construction stage there are offers of 30,000 rubles per sq. m. It’s the same with secondary housing, it all depends on the location of the house, the presence of autonomous heating, the year the house was built, layout, area, and of course the quality of repairs in the apartment itself. Secondary prices range from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 for a two-room apartment. As for infrastructure, residents of the “Administration” district are provided with all conceivable and inconceivable benefits of the 21st century; all shopping areas, banks, government agencies, kindergartens, schools, and entertainment venues are within walking distance. Any utilities, high-speed cable Internet, 4G mobile Internet.

Area "Sanatoriums", aka "Resort area"– is considered the most prestigious area of the city. This area is particularly quiet, comfortable and clean. Which is not surprising, because this area is a kind of calling card of Goryachiy Klyuch. The buildings are very diverse. A dilapidated hut may well coexist with a luxurious mansion. There are all communications, many guest houses, mini-hotels and rooms for rent, which are in great demand among vacationers. Real estate prices are not just greatly inflated, but, one might say, brutal! One hundred square meters of land here costs around a million; for the same price you can buy land on the seashore. Good houses start from 25 million, simpler houses – from 20. Of course, realtors will offer you more acceptable options, but you shouldn’t count on buying a good house in a “resort area” for less than 8,000,0000. Nearby is the “old” market, more than one supermarket, excellent bus service.

A lot of people who have decided to change their permanent residence to Goryachiy Klyuch consider the Goryacheklyuchevsky district as one of the options for permanent residence. Real estate prices in villages and villages near Goryachiy Klyuch are significantly lower, the roads are good, public transport runs frequently, and the complete absence of city bustle captivates many; there is no seasonal influx of vacationers. Great for permanent residence!

Goryachy Klyuch is not just a city, it is a resort city. Goryachiy Klyuch is located in the Krasnodar region, 60 km from Krasnodar and only 61 km from Dzhubga. So, if you wish, you can even rush to the Black Sea and in an hour be on the coast, provided, of course, that you travel by personal vehicle. But Goryachy Klyuch is not the resort that those who like to soak up the sun and cool off in cool water are used to. Goryachy Klyuch heals, and the complex of sanatoriums greatly helps in this. Clean, fresh air of the foothills of the Caucasus, silence and mineral springs They will lift those who are lying down, they will put them in sitting positions, and so on. We, as people exhausted by Narzan, came to Goryachy Klyuch as part of a day excursion, and not as a sanatorium treatment.

How to get to Goryachiy Klyuch

The easiest way to add your trip to Goryachiy Klyuch is if you are traveling to the Black Sea, through Krasnodar. From Krasnodar and Goryachiy Klyuch along the M4 Don highway 60 km in a southerly direction by car. If you are traveling independently, we recommend using the train service. Electric trains run daily from Krasnodar to Goryachy Klyuch. The price of a ticket Krasnodar - Goryachiy Klyuch for 2016 was 140 rubles. Tickets can also be purchased on the train itself, the main thing is, upon arrival in Krasnodar, do not forget to check the schedule at the station or use the Yandex Timetables service, sometimes it helps well, but is not always accurate in forecasts, this is not surprising, because train schedules have never been officially published on the network .

We arrived at the Goryachy Klyuch station, and in order to avoid the situation where you wave at the last train leaving, we immediately check the schedule of the return trains so as not to stay overnight in Goryachy Klyuch. Minibuses run from the station to the city. We need route No. 3 and No. 5 they go to stops Sanatorium Goryachiy Klyuch, we need to go there.

Once off the bus, it is difficult to find your way right away, but it will also be difficult to get lost. It is best to use one of the applications for navigation on the spot, since Goryachy Klyuch is a city and cellular works great.

After passing through the woods about 50 meters, we came to a square with a flower fountain. From here along the walking alley to the right. That's all, we are already there, you can allow yourself to relax and calmly begin to admire the colorful surroundings.

The first attraction that we will meet on our way, not counting the park itself, of course, is the arch with lions. This is a monument in honor of the 50th anniversary of Psekup mineral waters. Psekups is the river on which Goryachiy Klyuch stands. It originates in the Caucasus Mountains and is a left tributary of the Kuban. In places where hydrogen sulfide springs flow into it, it has a characteristic color and smell.

Next is the main building of the sanatorium, and opposite it is the Drinking Gallery. Entry to the Hot Springs drinking springs is free, but if you don’t have a mug with you, you’ll have to buy a glass. This practice is common in all pump rooms; no one will let you drink from the tap. If you want to fill the bottle, you will also have to buy the appropriate container from the cashier. You can also improve your health with herbal tea and oxygen cocktail in the Drinking Gallery building.

In Goryachy Klyuch there is a bust of a monument to Academician Pavlov, a Nobel laureate, whose name is known to every schoolchild by the phrase “Pavlov’s dog” hammered into memory. There are no biographical facts associated with the academician’s Hot Spring, which allows us to conclude that the Nobel laureate rested and received treatment here.

There are products in the park that go against the philosophy of spa treatment. These are hamburgers, chips, lemonade and pasties. Since we came to Goryachy Klyuch not for treatment, we didn’t experience any strong remorse when tempted by junk food. But let’s not pretend – they don’t know how to make chebureks in Goryachy Klyuch.

If we walk a little further along the alley, we will come to a sculptural composition with a small fountain on the pediment, which announces that the Mountain Park begins next.

Further along the route the road diverges. You can go right to the river and admire its flow from the bridge, or go straight and go to the Iveron Chapel. We went to the river, where you can rent a catamaran or boat and sail under the lovers' bridge to the Cockerel rock and back. To be honest, it was difficult to imagine the scale of the entire park, because when preparing for a trip, Internet maps do not allow you to understand what kind of landscape the area has and the volume covered. And since time for inspection is often limited by transport, you have to hurry.

Along the walking boulevard we go out to this very bridge; before the bridge, a little to the right there is a specially fenced place where hydrogen sulfide springs flow and baths are equipped.

We went to the bridge of lovers. It offers a wonderful view of the Psekups River and the Cockerel Rock.

Rock Cockerel

You can also admire the Cockerel rock from the opposite bank, where there is a descent to the river. The M4 Don highway is very close here, so you can leave your car here.

Returning to the main route, we climbed the Petushki rock. From the bridge the rock looks steep and high. In fact, the route to the rock is very simple. Even a child can handle it, and on the rock itself there is a gazebo so you can sit and admire the local beauty. There are steps leading up to the rock, and Observation deck For safety, it is equipped with railings; to avoid accidents, do not climb over the fences.

The rock also has a second name - the Rock of Salvation, and if everything is quite clear with the name Cockerel, in appearance the rock resembles the comb of a rooster, then the second name is associated with one of the legends with which the Caucasus is so filled and which can be heard without exaggeration about every waterfall, mountain and gorge of the Caucasus ranges.

Then the trail goes deeper into the forest, but the park turned out to be very small, so don’t be afraid of getting lost or tired.

Dante's Gorge

We come to a site from which we can see Dante’s Gorge, this is another attraction of the route. Having descended from the hill we find ourselves in a narrow gorge between the hills. It is noteworthy because the stone walls of the hills come together very close in places. And the limestone rock allows you to leave traces of your stay in the gorge. There is a convenient route along the gorge with railings, decking and stairs. The route is really short, so don't rush too much.

The gorge ends with a clearing in which the Iverskaya Chapel is located; part of the chapel is located in a grotto, around which the outer part of the chapel is built. Opposite it is a monument to the founders of the resort. In the same clearing, a little to the side and in the shadow, there is the source of St. Panteleimon. From here it is already very close to the central part of the park. Thus, we were able to walk around the entire park in literally 3 hours; all that remained was to eat and walk along the city’s pedestrian alley.

As for food in Goryachy Klyuch. All resort guests eat in the canteens of their sanatoriums. If you wish, you can use this option. To do this, you need to go to the central building and purchase a voucher for one meal. It comes out to about 500 rubles per person. But we found it inappropriate to eat indoors when the street smells of pine trees, so we went looking for open cafe. There are not as many catering establishments here as there could be, but you won’t go hungry and you’ll definitely find something. We found a place that was not very nice in appearance, but very pleasant in taste.

Having pampered our taste buds with lula kebab, we went to spend the remaining time before the train on the pedestrian street Lenina, this is the central street, which smoothly turns into main street park, the territory of the sanatorium-medical complex is highlighted by such a beautiful composition with a fountain.

Walking on Lenin Street is less comfortable than walking in the resort park; it looks very much like an ordinary street.

On Lenin Street there are several monuments dedicated to the events of the Great Patriotic War.

If you came to Goryachiy Klyuch not for 4-5 hours, like us, but at least for 8-9, then you can take a hike to the Psechiako waterfall on Maltsevoy Stream, and on the way turn to the Mirror rock. But this route will be more difficult. Its passage will require physical endurance, you will have to walk about 10 km, as well as the ability to navigate the area, or simply take a navigator or a local guide with you.

Summing up the results of the trip to Goryachy Klyuch, we can summarize that one day is enough to get to know the city and the Goryachiy Klyuch park, and about 4 hours to explore the park itself and its attractions. The beautiful nature and clean air will not leave you indifferent and they did not leave us, maybe when age shows itself, I will come here for three days to drink mineral water, wander along the forest paths and eat dietary food in the sanatorium canteen.

We visited Goryachy Klyuch for the first time. We've been driving past for about fifteen years, and now we've finally decided to see the sights of Goryachy Klyuch and the surrounding area.

Goryachy Klyuch – resort town Krasnodar region. Located 45 kilometers from Krasnodar.

Krasnodar region starts 60 kilometers from our house. At first there is the same steppe as ours, fields with sunflowers.

We drove past Goryachiy Klyuch many times - oh, I should have gotten to know it earlier!

And the mountains begin only in Goryachy Klyuch. From Rostov-on-Don – 320 kilometers. You can go on weekends. They just didn’t know what a cool place was before. We heard reviews about Goryachiy Klyuch that there is nothing to do there, except for the Old Castle and a small park - there is nothing.

Let's see if this is true?

Goryachiy Klyuch is a clean, quiet resort

We left early. Already at about 9 am we were near Goryachiy Klyuch. They didn’t go into the city. We immediately went to Fanagoriyskoye to see the Bogatyrsky caves.

Road to Fanagoriyskoye

The caves are small. It's not easy to climb. It’s better to take a rock climbing course first (I’m kidding, but you won’t be able to get into them easily).

Bogatyrsky caves

It's still dirty to tramp through the forest. Like us, in the Krasnodar Territory it rained continuously for a whole month, and the forest did not dry well.

I’ll tell you about the Bogatyrsky caves separately.

Right Bogatyr caves

Then we went to the Wolf Gate and looked at the Psekups River.

Psekups River

For mountain rivers it is large, wide and calm. The water is green. Beautiful river.

After walking around, we went to the city to settle in. in advance.

I liked the apartment right from the entrance - it’s clean, everything shines

We lived in the center of Goryachiy Klyuch, on Kalinin Street, where it adjoins Lenin Street. Finding good housing in Goryachy Klyuch is not difficult; you can find a suitable option.

The apartment is clean, comfortable, everything is new and of high quality - this is exactly what an apartment for rent should be

The kitchen is spacious and even has a sofa

Mountains are visible from the windows. The yard is quiet. Resort area. Literally five minutes walk to the Healing Park. Which is where we headed first.

And from our window...

The car was parked at the house. For two days in Goryachiy Klyuch there was no need. We walked.

We walked to the Healing Park along the Alley of Thousand Pines. Pedestrian zone, the aroma of Pitsunda pine, pine cones under your feet - beauty!

We looked at the drinking gallery.

We admired the Psekups River, above which the Rock of Salvation rises.

After crossing the Happy Bridge, we came to the Old Castle.

Near the Old Castle there are fountains, a small rose garden, beautiful, cozy.

Afterwards we went to Dante's Gorge. The entrance to the gorge is located behind the Mineral Glade.

On the way to Mineral Glade

In the Mineral Glade there is the Iverskaya Chapel, a spring, a monument to the Psekupsky mineral waters, a stone ram.

In the evening we went for a walk in the park. It's interesting to see what the city looks like after dark. This text was stolen from the Roads of the World website (site)!

It turned out that in Goryachy Klyuch only the drinking gallery, the Happy Bridge and the Old Castle are illuminated in the evenings.

In the morning we went to the Mirror rock. The hike is quite long and took a lot of time. On the way back we got caught in a downpour. Wet through.

On the third day, before leaving, we visited the city park of Goryachy Klyuch.

The park has a couple of lakes and attractions. If you come with children, be sure to check it out. The attractions are old Soviet, but the prices are reasonable.

Lake in Goryachy Klyuch City Park

For now, just a review of Goryachiy Klyuch, general first impressions. I’ll tell you about the attractions separately.

What did you especially like about Goryachiy Klyuch?

The impression of the city of Goryachiy Klyuch is pleasant. Cute small town. A real resort. Shady, quiet, calm. With its peace and silence it resembles.

A jug with pouring water is a symbol of the Hot Spring

I don't drink cognac, but I liked the name

Fresh air. The resort part is very clean. Well-groomed lawns, flowers, fountains, cute installations with flowers.

Well, isn't it lovely?

At the same time, street cleaners, garden workers, and other landscaping workers are not visible on the streets, as in Kislovodsk. Apparently, they get up early and put things in order before the tourists go out for a walk.

I liked Dante's Gorge. A very unusual place.

Dante's Gorge

I was impressed by the Cockerel Rock (aka Salvation Rock). Especially the ridge and steps.

Salvation Rock. She's the Cockerel (do you understand why?)

Beautiful surroundings. Sparsely populated mountain forest. Untouched nature. Only trails.

We didn’t have time to see all the natural attractions. It's a pity.

Adorable elephants, right?

What didn't you like? The dominance of pigeons. A lot!

In general, I don’t like pigeons (may the “bird of peace” forgive me). Where they feed, everything is dirty. It is dangerous to walk in some places; flocks have occupied the trees. Although, if anything is related to money, there is such a sign...

How long does it take to inspect the Hot Key?

Goryachy Klyuch is a resort. There is sanatorium treatment, unique Psekupskie mineral water. – we just tried it. We were interested in the city as travelers, and it is from this point of view that my review of Hot Key was written.

The original fountain on Lenin Street

If you plan to see only the city, the main attractions of Goryachiy Klyuch, half a day is enough. Everything is located compactly, walking is easy and pleasant. A walk with small children will not be a problem, although I read reviews about Goryachiy Klyuch that it is difficult to climb with children through Dante’s Gorge to the Rock of Salvation. Really steep steps, when I tell you in detail, I’ll show you a workaround, an easier one.

Mineral glade in the evening

If you explore the surrounding area, the natural attractions of Goryachiy Klyuch, one or even two days is not enough. We only managed to see the Bogatyrsky caves and the Mirror rock.

Keep in mind that when visiting natural attractions in the surrounding area, the weather plays a big role; the paths in the forest are not equipped (and rightly so), and moving around after rain is problematic.

Overall I liked the city. If we come, it will be for the sake of natural attractions, of which there are many left unseen.

In conclusion, I suggest you watch the video we shot while walking around Goryachiy Klyuch. Duration 4.5 minutes with pleasant music.

I hope my review of Goryachiy Klyuch will be useful to those who are just thinking about whether to go there or not.
