Kiselev's Rock

Kiselev's Rock is by right a visiting card of the city of Tuapse. It towers over it at 46 meters, representing an almost sheer rock block - an amazing creation of nature. There is an ancient Adyghe legend about the rock: a beautiful girl named Gouache lived here before. Her father was rich, owned almost the entire coast, and all the factories belonged to him. But none of the rich suitors did not like the girl to taste: all rejected the proud and unapproachable beauty. All but one stately guy. The problem was that he was a groom.

The girl told her father about her intention. He was so disappointed in her that, as a result, the girl was locked up, and in exchange she married her a new groom, of course, very rich. The girl refused to marry the 70-year-old Circassian. And in the end he appointed a groom-groom to meet on the rock Kiselev: at midnight the jigit ridden here, and Guash came, only now he was chasing after his beloved pursuers. Because straight from the cliff, he jumped into the abyss at 46 meters. Gouache broke down, shed many bitter tears - and eventually followed him ...

The second name - Kiseleva - arose in honor of the artist of the same name, who perpetuated this sheer rock in his paintings. At Cape Kadosh you can also find the home of the artist.

And also this 46-meter-long, Kiselev's rock, cut from one side, lit up in the famous Soviet film "The Diamond Arm". It is here that Andrei Mironov is surrounded by a halo of holiness, a young boy who literally walks the water. In the role of the boy was the son of Nikulin - and, unusually, this is his only role in the cinema.
