Mount Mekhtygen (or Metegen), 3154 m, is a peak in the Rocky Range between the Cherek Balkarsky and Psygansu valleys in Kabardino-Balkaria. The best view of Mekhtygen opens from the north, from the Kurnoyat Pass, which can be reached by SUV. From there, the mountain looks like a huge castle with towers and buttresses.<\/p>\n

View from the ridge of Mount Soukhauzkaya, from the west. Mekhtygen is a sunlit peak with a layer of clouds at its foot.<\/p>\n

From the east, from the Uazy Shoulder Pass. Mekhtygen is the third peak on the right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

approximately the same angle, but different lighting, Mekhtygen is also third from the right.<\/p>\n

The peak of Teshchiny Zuby, or, according to other sources, Naushidze Peak, 2956 m high, is a peak in the Rocky Range in the Elbrus region, in the area of the village of Bylym (on the map<\/a>). The origin of the first name is obvious when you see the peak from the south.<\/p>\n

Ullukaya Rock ("Big Rock") located<\/a> in the Kyrtyk Valley, in the Elbrus region. This is a very interesting place: in a huge cave in the rock, next to a source of healing narzan, traces of a settlement of ancient people were found. <\/p>\n

It is interesting to read the article by A. Alekseev "Slavic-Scythian temples in the Elbrus region": http:\/\/budetinteresno.info\/elbrus\/hrams.htm<\/a>, where attention is also paid to the Ullukaya rock. <\/p>\n

There is another esoteric story: http:\/\/maxpark.com\/user\/743060225\/content\/557862<\/a>. Take it seriously or not, but it is certainly an interesting place. Too bad, I always passed by - I need to go to the caves sometime, try narzan.<\/p>\n

View from a dirt road in the Kyrtyk Valley. You can get here by SUV from the village of Verkhniy Baksan, about 10 km.<\/p>\n

With difficulty, but you can spot the cat from the articles in the links provided.<\/p>\n
