Bambakov Farm "Dolmen"
Today we went to the Dolmen Farm or to the Pshad Dolmens. As always, I can’t help myself, so as not to post a photo of the road. We headed towards the village of Pshady through the Mikhailovsky Pass. Picturesque highlands. We even stopped the car to take a look around. The road, which disappears far in the mountains, will not leave anyone indifferent.
A little bit about Farm for reference.
The farm was founded in 1991 by Stanislav Prokofievich Bambakov. He rented 2 hectares of land where dolmens were located. The territory and the dolmens themselves were in a deplorable state at that time. Now this place is alive. Tropical plants, a garden, a mountain murmuring river, a waterfall, a singing forest with intricate trees and trails.
On the territory there is a cozy home cafe, a honey shop, where you can buy honey of different varieties from your own apiary farm.
And of course, the road to the dolmens themselves is easy to find by signs and well-groomed paths.
There are four dolmens on the farm: Khan, Tor, Tenderness and Maya. Each of which has its own energy and strength.
To begin with, we went to the Dolmen "Tenderness." This is a female dolmen. It is located in the most remote area of \u200b\u200bthe forest. "Tenderness" charges peace, and fills with internal energy. Protects maternal feelings, and protects children.
Dolmen "Maya". Dolmen of love and family well-being. It gives happiness in a married life and helps to find love for the lonely. Near the river Pshada
Dolmen "Khan", located very close to the Dolmen "Maya". Its energy enhances physical and mental health. You can ask for relatives to recover. The dolmen is beaten off the right corner. They say that once a particularly fanatical esoteric wanted to take a piece of a dolmen with him, but nothing came of it.
In conclusion, we went to the Tor dolmen. This dolmen carries the energy of good luck and faith in its strength, helps to find its way.
The territory of the farm is small and you can explore it in half an hour, but we advise you to stay in this place longer. Take a walk through the forest, along the river, chat with dolmens, nature and you will leave here with a huge heart and a bright mind.
Communication with dolmens fills with special energy, you become calmer, the stream of endless thoughts and fuss cools.
Dolmens are still surrounded by mystery and no matter how many hypotheses exist, the truth is not known to us. Ancient temples, burial grounds or portals to other worlds, it does not matter. People go to dolmens to fill their souls and dolmens fill it.
Getting there: The farm is located along the M4 federal highway, 20 kilometers from Gelendzhik towards Krasnodar. On the highway, near the village of Pshada, you will see a banner sign "Dolmens".
From Gelendzhik carry here with a guided tour. But it’s better to go on your own.
An adult ticket costs 150 rubles, a child 50 rubles. The time spent on the territory is not limited.
And we went home to Krasnodar. Along the way, we could not stop by the observation deck and take pictures with the bears. The view from the observation deck is incredible. The tops of the trees from the top seem soft as blooming flax. I'd like to lie on them looking at the clouds. But this is just an illusion of bird's-eye view.
I never cease to be fascinated by the beauty of the Krasnodar Territory. If you are in a hurry in the summer at sea, be careful along the road. Sometimes, staying in places such as dolmens, an observation deck, you will spend a little time, but your impressions will be wider than the sea.

Near the village of Pshada is located the peasant farm "Dolmen", where you can see some interesting dolmens, wander through the forest, and also buy farm products. But, of course, most come here precisely for the dolmens.
The Caucasus holds many mysteries. One of them is dolmens created by holders of dolmen culture of the Western Caucasus (Middle Bronze Age, first half of the 3rd millennium - the second half of the 2nd millennium BC). Dolmens can be found on a rather vast territory - on the Taman Peninsula, in the Krasnodar Territory, Adygea. Until recently, dolmens existed in the Stavropol Territory.
The local population worshiped dolmens. However, after the Caucasian War, their destruction began: the stones were pulled away for construction purposes, the "black diggers" were looking for innumerable treasures in them. They got them from various kinds of "esoterics" ...
Many mysteries are hidden in dolmens. Scientists, owning a large amount of material and comparing the Caucasian dolmens with similar structures in many other parts of Europe and Africa, consider them megalithic tombs and ancient tribal sanctuaries.
The fact that dolmens were used as tombs is evidenced, in particular, dolmen from the Kolicho River (near Aguy-Shapsug aul, Tuapse district of Krasnodar Territory). It dates from approximately II millennium BC. For approximately 450 years, it has been used as a family tomb, as evidenced by more than 70 mummified remains found inside. Then he was buried under a powerful landslide, which saved him from plunder. Dolmen was discovered in 2008 after a seasonal flood, when he was exposed in the bed of the Kolicho River.
In its former place, the Kolicho dolmen, as they called it, was not possible to preserve. Therefore, in 2012, a 5-ton dolmen was disassembled and transported to the State Historical Museum in Moscow, where it is now exhibited in the hall dedicated to the Bronze Age.
In the same 2008, washed by floods dolmen in the riverbed of Shepsiinside of which were also found human remains, as well as jewelry and household items. Now the dolmen is in the storerooms of the Tuapse Historical Museum of Local Lore named after N.G. Poletaev, negotiations are underway to transfer it to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.
However, unscientific points of view are now widespread: dolmens are endowed with supernatural qualities and are declared conductors of “cosmic energies”.
Peasant farm Bambakov "Dolmen"
Dolmens were on the verge of extinction. And therefore, any activity aimed at preserving dolmens, the opportunity to get to know them, can only be welcomed. One of these places is the Dolmen farm, founded in 1991 by Stanislav Prokofievich Bambakov.
Near the village of Pshada, next to the Dolmen Tor, he rented 2 hectares of land. Places nearby, where there were three more dolmens, were in poor condition - mountains of garbage, wild tourists, mutilating dolmens inscriptions. Stanislav Prokofievich rented these lands. He cleared the territory, paved the paths, set signs. This made it possible to preserve dolmens, to make people stay here pleasant and civilized.
Gardens, apiary, tourism - this is what the Bambakov farm lives today. Stanislav Prokofievich died in 1999, and now his son, Sergei Stanislavovich Bambakov, is managing the family business.
Our trip to the Pshad dolmens
We drove along the road towards Pshada. Passed the Mikhailovsky Pass - the border between the temperate and subtropical zones, then drove into a valley surrounded by mountains. On the right in the direction of the movement appeared a pointer to the Pshad dolmens. Naturally, one could not stop here.
In total, there are several dozen dolmens in the Pshad river basin, most of which are destroyed. There are four dolmens on the farm: Tor, Maya, Khan and Tenderness. These names are modern.
Road towards Pshada
They left the car in a large parking lot and went along the road. Entrance to the farm is paid - 200 rubles per person. And let some grumble that you need to pay money. My opinion is that this is correct - considerable work is required to maintain an ideal order here. And people will be more responsible about the place.
Information about the farm "Dolmen"
Entering the farm, we opened our mouths with delight: a waterfall, tropical plants, shops and cafes. And, of course, signs for dolmens and convenient paths.

Dolmen "Tenderness"
Of course, first of all we went to the dolmens. First - to the most remote of them and therefore the best preserved. It is called "Tenderness." A path goes down the slope through the forest to it, which then goes into the open space and then dives into the forest again.

And here is the dolmen himself. He seems pretty squat. The stones composing it bear the traces of time and are covered with moss. He is considered a female dolmen, helping in women's affairs - matrimony, motherhood, ensures the health of children. At a distance the river Pshada flows.

Around the trees crowded crowns. Subtropical forest - how unlike our Central Russian forests are!
Then we returned to the fork on the trail and went to two other dolmens located nearby - Maya (love) and Khan (health). The road there is also very interesting: visitors pebbled the names of their cities on the ground, someone installed small dolmenchiki on the model of the ancients.
Little dolmen (modern)
And here is the Mayan dolmen, who is responsible for love: keeps from unrequited love, helps to attract the heart of a loved one and to remain faithful in marriage. It is tall with a perfectly round inlet.

From the Mayan dolmen, we turn to the Khan dolmen, which is believed to bestow health - physical and spiritual, helps to develop individuality; he is also “responsible” for the health and happiness of loved ones. However, esotericists bypass him: his right corner is beaten off.

The road goes down from dolmens, and we decide to walk along it a little.
Road down
The Doguab River flows below. However, in the summer its channel turned out to be dry.
There was nothing interesting ahead, the path became worse. And we turned back.
As you probably already noticed, the territory has very interesting trees and shrubs. Many of them are covered with various growths or curiously bend.
Then we again went to the cafe and souvenir shops, and from there we turned the other way - to the Tor dolmen.
Tropical plants on the farm
The territory of the farm "Dolmen"
Dolmen Thor is at the very beginning of the Pshad dolmen group and therefore is the worst preserved. The upper stone slab is reinforced with wooden props. Unlike his brothers, he is in the open and has a slightly different style. It is believed that this dolmen brings good luck and success in all endeavors to a person, helps to find his way and achieve his goal.

Around spreads a beautiful nature, natural and man-made. Here, at the Dolmen farm, their perfect balance is maintained.
After a walk to the dolmens, we went to an open cafe, where in the shade and coolness we rested and tasted a delicious pilaf. And then we went on to Pshad. Alas, ours didn’t really like the mountain serpentines, so we decided to go back to.
On the way to Gelendzhik there is another beautiful place - the Natasha spring, the chapel of Sergius of Radonezh and the Rodnichok cafe. They are located at the very beginning of the Mikhailovsky Pass settlement, on the right side of the road, if traveling from Gelendzhik. But we did not call in there.
This is how we got a trip to the Pshad dolmens. If you go here, then take comfortable shoes with you to walk around the farm and see all the dolmens. And do not forget to buy a souvenir as a souvenir!

In the Kuban, you can relax at any time of the year. And tourists have long been no longer afraid of the “dead” season and the inability to plunge into the sea. After all, besides him there are many no less interesting places.
The mystery of ancient civilization
What attracts tourists from all over the world to the Kuban land are dolmens that keep the secrets of centuries, and maybe millennia. How our ancient ancestors created these outlandish houses (there is a version that they are tombs) remains a mystery to this day. Someone is sure that these stone structures could not create human hands, they were left on Earth by aliens. But be that as it may, these mysterious structures like a magnet attract people to themselves. And not only Russians come here, but also residents of other countries and continents to touch the secret of ancient civilizations. From ancient times, dolmens endowed with miraculous power, believed that they can restore love, help to find spiritual harmony, strengthen intuition, endow wisdom, and can ... and punish if you treat them disrespectfully. As for the official version, dolmen - translated from British means “stone table” and is considered by modern archeology in different ways: either as a funerary, or as a religious building. The time of their creation dates back to 3–2 centuries BC. That is, they have more than one millennium. Scientists are sure that dolmens were not built in random places, which is why clots of that amazing energy are concentrated around them, which still feeds numerous visitors. However, until now, scientists, as has already been said, have not come to a common opinion on the appointment of dolmens.
Dolmen Village
I was advised to visit the dolmens located near Gelendzhik, near the village of Pshada (translated from Adyghe means "valley of calm"). You will not believe it, but silence really reigns here and you can even hear autumn leaves serving under your feet. Although dolmens are also in Adygea and in the Tuapse district, but only in Pshad, there are so-called “female” dolmens. According to legend, they help the fair sex.
When you go in the direction of Gelendzhik, carefully look around. When you see signs at the entrance to the village - “Dolmen Village” and “Dolmen 100 meters” - welcome to the mysterious world of our ancestors. Turning off the road, you will see a parking lot where you can leave your transport. There will also be a ticket office. Attached to the tickets is a map-scheme, thanks to which you can find dolmens, three of which are located on the side of the cliff, and the fourth - at its very top. Climbing the slope is a pleasure. In just five minutes walk, you will come to a sparkling waterfall, with cool, life-giving water. You wash her face and feel yourself 20 years younger! Well, those who come here not the first time take towels with them. A few minutes under an ice "shower", then vigorous rubbing with a towel, a cup of hot tea from a thermos and the feeling is like wings grew behind.
Energy of love
Just ten minutes walk from the waterfall and here it is “Dolmen of love” or as it is also called “Maya”.
“This dolmen brings real love to people, helps them to find family happiness,” a woman who pressed her hands to a cool wall explained to me, asked Maya for a big and bright feeling.
This dolmen had many women, girls and girls. Some ladies came to Maya with their husbands. I put my hand to the stove. At first it was cool, then it began to warm. Indeed, some incomprehensible force or energy came from the dolmen. Or maybe this energy of love? I remembered the story of a scientist friend who claimed that our ancestors were engaged in meditation in these "houses", fit inside and went into trance for weeks, and sometimes months, and thereby for centuries charged the buildings with their powerful energy.
"Khan" does not forgive insults
Literally a few meters from the "dolmen of love" is the "dolmen of health" or it is also called the "Khan". According to popular beliefs, it helps to find not only physical health, but also peace of mind, helps to find the right life guidelines, determine the field of activity, and choose the right path. This is probably why, in addition to people who want to be healed of ailments, students of the Krasnodar university conducted unhurried conversations around him.
We’re not coming here for the first time, ”said Yegor Smirnov,“ you won’t believe it, but with the support of Khan, I passed the session perfectly, now I get an increased scholarship.
Why, I really believe it, - I answer the talkative guy.
Approaching the "Khan" I see that his right corner has been beaten off. This is how much effort was needed to repel a piece from a solid stone slab! And after passing a couple of steps, I saw a lonely lying fragment. A local resident walking nearby, Anton Evgenievich Lomakin, told me that barbarism is the work of one of the pilgrims. After standing at the dolmen, he felt an unprecedented surge of energy and decided ... to break off a piece of “Khan” so that he could recharge from it at home. Arriving under cover of night, a man chopped off a piece from the dolmen - with energy “Khan” he might have fed the durale, but he clearly didn’t increase his mind! Grabbing the desired piece, the pilgrim rushed to run, but then an unexpected thing happened: the forces left the robber and he fell to the ground. With great difficulty, the grief-tourist left this place, and a piece of "Khan" remained on his land. Local residents are sure that this spirit of the dolmen punished the villain.
"Tenderness" is hiding in the forest
There is a winding path from the dolmen, along it you can go to the mountain river - Doguab and enjoy the murmur of running water, in which fish flash, and the birdsong. Having a rest by the river, we return back and go along another path to the Dolmen "Tenderness", which "hid" away from people's eyes. And to reach it is the most difficult. From the forest path, the roots of trees stick out every now and then, and you need to carefully look under your feet. And here he is dolmen "Tenderness." Unlike his brothers, he is short and much wider than them. It is located in the forest itself under the reliable protection of perennial trees. It would be impossible to find it if it were not for the signs and paths laid by thousands of people. If you are a mother, then you should definitely visit this dolmen. And it’s better to bring your children with you. After all, this forest resident helps to flourish maternal feelings, protects babies and adult children from illnesses and adversities, strengthens family relationships. Therefore, around it you can often see families in full force. Women told me that their children after the excursion to this dolmen become calmer, sleep well, become more diligent. One of the interlocutors shared that she was generally desperate, the teenage son completely lost his arms, became rude, and even began to apply to the bottle. She sat for an hour near the dolmen of tenderness. And when I arrived home, do not believe it, my son met her at the door, asked for forgiveness. This time the woman came with her son to recharge with positive energy.
Thor will protect evil
From communicating with dolmens, I received such a huge charge of energy that I did not rise, but flew up to the very top of the mountain to the “dolmen of success” or “Torah”, as the locals call it. “Thor” helps to achieve success in all good (!) Endeavors. They say that people with bad thoughts simply are not able to climb to the top, the dolmen’s spirit poses any obstacles to them, then their strength will run out for no reason, then their heads will spin, then their legs will turn up, it would seem, out of the blue. But a businessman from Moscow Sergey Novitsky, who has a chain of shops and does charity work, sponsoring orphanages, comes to this dolmen once every six months and is sure that he helps him cope with the competition and make good profit, some of which he will definitely give to orphaned children.
And next to the dolmens there is a honey fair, where it is proposed to taste and buy real honey. You can’t imagine how pleasant it is after such an ascent to the dolmens to eat a spoon - another of real mountain honey! Here, dark chestnut, and viscous linden, and fragrant acacia.
Issue price
If you do not have a car, you can go to the dolmens by bus, which leaves from the bus station in Gelendzhik. The ticket price is from 20 to 50 rubles, depending on the comfort and location of the transport. Also, private owners will offer their services, which will be taken within 300 rubles.
An adult ticket costs 150 rubles, a child -50 rubles.

33To visit the Gelendzhik region and not go somewhere to the dolmens? It's not about me. Of course, I would also go on a hike, but there was no company and I did not want to leave mine for a few days. I wanted to get on initially, but now there is such a movement already (although only June is in the yard), such a place became untwisted, a little sorry. Therefore, I decided to go to the Dolmen farm, which is located near the Doguab river, not reaching a few kilometers to Pshada, if you go from Gelendzhik.
I mentioned this place in the article, but I didn’t write specifically about it, although I have been here more than once. The thing is that earlier I did not have a camera, and without photos I do not see the point of writing such an article.
Unlike other places, dolmens here are heaped and close to the entrance, and for a quick inspection you will need no more than half an hour. Not prone to physical exertion and long walks, this may appeal. And here I managed to walk for about three hours. True, there was a small snail with me, which necessarily had to crawl freely. Where which dolmen is located, I won’t tell, you can easily find it, there are signs. The place is civilized, with trash, a cafe, an artificial waterfall, funny wooden figures, a free toilet.
What mushroom to choose ...
Dolmens Maya, Khan, Tenderness and Thor
Such a story happened once with the dolmen Khan. More precisely, not with him, but with me, then still young and naive (it was in 2006). At that time, my friends and I often went to dolmens, were fond of esotericism and other things. And one of us was still interested in linguistics. So, it was interesting for us to turn the words around and see what happens. Once at the dolmen Khan, we also turned his name over and laughed together. Only a little later, when we were going to our tent camp (on Jean), it turned out that the bus had just left. Well, we are advanced, we hitchhiked it, only nobody takes it. We decided to go on foot, and this is after all 16 km, including a long pass. But it’s okay to walk on foot, it’s not very difficult, although unpleasant in the night, so dogs attacked us in the Mikhailovsky Pass village. We ran straight to the road and rushed. It’s good that we had a flashlight with us, we turned it on in flashing mode, thereby blinding animals for a while, and ourselves backed away along the road. I remember that they suffered a lot of fear then ... As a result, we somehow reached the camp and since then, I have become more respectful of dolmens so that they do not represent ourselves. And Khan is so still afraid :)
Doguab River
For those tired of the heat there is the opportunity to swim in the river. And, I think, you can do it naked, because rarely anyone goes there. Two rivers, in fact, the economy is located between the rivers. If you walk along a dirt road, then after 300 meters it will lead to the Doguab River. And if you go not following the signs, but to the left through the orchard, then right after the pond you can get to the Pshada River.
How to get and cost of entry
Entrance is standardly costs 150 rubles per person and 50 rubles per child 6-12 years old. I am not quite a supporter of paying a fee for viewing the cultural and historical values \u200b\u200bthat belong to everyone. But given how our Russian people love to litter and destroy, someone needs to take care of the territory and clean it. So it can be considered an environmental tax, although, of course, this is a controversial topic. Especially, considering how many people come to dolmens, it was already possible to improve the ecology of all Krasnodar.
The official website is http://geldolmen.ru/, I’m afraid that if this land had not been rented, then these dolmens might not have been there right now.
The farm is located before reaching Pshada, if you go from Gelendzhik. On the right on the hill you will see a large shield with the inscription Dolmen, and there will be a gate and a parking lot near it. Near this place, buses stop from the old bus station in the center of Gelendzhik. The bus you need is the one that goes to Pshada, Arkhipo-Osipovka or Betta.

In this journey of ours, much was spontaneous. In general, we were not going to dolmens. But even when we were going to Gelendzhik, we paid attention to the signs along the highway near the village of Pshada - “Dolmen Village” and “Dolmen 100 meters”. And they immediately decided that on the way back we would definitely go there, since world roadsbrought us here.
