Taman Switzerland is a small protected area of ​​nature, located not far from the village of Priazovsky. It is a hilly area cut by ravines and rearing hills overgrown with wild vegetation. A significant part of the landscape of this corner of Taman is occupied by a kind of hawthorn forest and various steppe grasses. A unique feature of Taman Switzerland is a spring-derived lake with crystal clear water.

Why "Tamanskaya" is understandable, because the Taman peninsula. And that's why "Switzerland" ... Perhaps because of the high coast, hilly terrain.
The place is small, but so quiet and peaceful here.

Previously, I have already posted, but now a little text and individual images (well, where can I do without them ...)

It was a long day, which began at six in the morning in the Rostov region and ended on the high shore of the Azov Sea. We arrived here when the sun almost went down.

We were looking for a place to stay for a long time, so we wanted to be closer to the sea. As a result, the tent was set up in the dark under the headlights.
The place we chose was not the best - practically on the road. But since it is difficult to get here, and at night it is unlikely that someone wants to go down to the beach, they decided to stake out.


But it's better not to risk it))) The wind was constantly blowing from the sea. Therefore, the first night in the tent was terrible for me. There were rustles and footsteps everywhere. In the lowlands, by the lake, it would be more peaceful, but without a sea view. And it was worth it ... The Crimean coast was shining in the distance, and the lights of ships slowly floated across the sea surface.

In the morning neither light nor dawn woke up. Everyone was eager to swim and sunbathe. While Vovka was preparing breakfast and sorting through things in the car, I managed to climb around the neighborhood.The slopes are all covered with blackberry thickets. She is just picking up juice, and in the fall you can come here for a harvest.


And of course, what about the sea and without the sea?

Our silent companion and free-rider hare in combination

Here are just deposits of seashells


Here and there picturesque driftwood


And at times you can stumble upon strange skulls. We still didn’t understand who it was.


All in all it is a very quiet and secluded place. There is no beach infrastructure here. And there are no people. For what it is worth going here. It is such a pleasure to wander along a deserted beach, collect shells, swim in the sea, ride on the waves and not a soul.
And only a small handful of children from the sanatorium, about 30 people, can sometimes suddenly break this idyll)))

By the way, after 20 minutes everyone was packing up and the beach was empty again.
The beach here may be quite usual for the Azov coast. But the vegetation around the lake is quite unusual.

The village of Priazovsky, in the vicinity of which this magical place is located, is located away from the road to Port Caucasus and consists of only one street leading directly to the Savvino-Starozhevsky Monastery ...

The dome of the Trinity Church of the monastery in good weather can be seen from almost all more or less high points of the peninsula. Peering into the distance, more than once rested against him. And against the background of the relatively flat landscapes of the peninsula, interspersed with estuaries, the Temple on the horizon at times looked fantastic, like a beacon for a lonely lost soul.

The air is saturated with the scent of herbs and flowers, many of which have medicinal properties. Lovers of quiet secluded recreation in places untouched by civilization come here, and this area is called Taman Switzerland - for its serenity and smooth relief lines. The similarity is complemented by the lake, which stretches in the middle of the valley and looks very attractive surrounded by coastal plants.

How to get there
