Local residents call Mezmai a "bearish corner", and this is correct: in such forests it is easiest to walk a bear, not a person. Here once was the last stronghold of the Circassians in the battle with the Russians and Turks. Later, the lands retreated to the Kuban Cossack Host. And today, motley tourists come to Mezmay. Someone is drawn to the mountains, someone comes for creative inspiration, artists adore local landscapes, and parapsychologists connect to the cosmos and try to unravel the secrets of the universe.

In the cliffs of the mountain there are composing its platy Upper Jurassic limestones, and also there are rare karst formations. Slopes of "Lenin" are covered with oak-hornbeam or beech forest with an admixture of maple, linden and with an undergrowth of azalea, hazel, dogwood. In the autumn the forest looks unmatched!

Each layer of limestone in the gorge has its own color - green, gray, red, yellow. Beauty is emphasized by waterfalls flowing over the rocks. In winter, they freeze, protecting the walls of the gorge from bad weather. Also, the Guam Gorge is famous for its diverse trees and shrubs, some plants for several hundred years. It is especially beautiful in the spring, when the jasmine and rhododendron begin to bloom.
Ancient man's camp
This place is in two clearings from the Lagonaki camp site, on foot it is necessary to walk about 2, 5 kilometers. The parking lot is a grotto where archaeologists have set up a table and benches. Here once lived people. At that time there was practically no forest in these places - only meadows.
Under the grotto is located the gorge - Dry Kurdzips. The mainsail itself is located in the middle of the cliff hanging over the gorge.
