Polikarya Waterfall
Водопад Поликаря
A multi-tier waterfall in the north-facing gorge of Aibga Mountain, about 25 meters high, reached by a forest trail from near Rosa Khutor.
Polikarya Waterfall lies on the hillside between Rosa Khutor and Gornaya Karusel and is named after Polikarp, a Greek who settled here in the 19th century. The stream passes through beech and fir forests and cascades down in tiers over rock walls, with a clear pool below. It can be reached on foot along a forest road, or by off-road vehicle from Krasnaya Polyana or Rosa Khutor, a journey of about 1 hour one way. It can also be combined with Medvezhiy (Bear) Waterfall for a half-day hike. The falls lie within Sochi National Park, and some sections charge an ecological entry fee.
