A section of the Great Kuban Trail passes through Tkhamakha. The rural estate «Moldavskoye pomestye» and the history of the Redut Tchamakhinski offer further insights into the village. For planning purposes, it is worth considering the route and the estate’s dated offerings separately.
Estate, Cuisine and Music
An entry dated December 28, 2018, listed «Moldavskoye pomestye» in Tkhamakha as a rural estate and museum with a mini-museum. The same entry listed several activities: preparing Plăcintă and Mamalyga together with the hostess, as well as dolma made with primrose leaves; watching and taking part in winemaking; and listening to Moldovan songs. The topics listed at the time thus ranged from cooking together and winemaking to music. If you are considering a visit, ask in advance about current visiting and participation options.
The Redoubt and the Sacred Hill
According to a local historical account, the Redut Tchamakhinski was named after a sacred hill. Built in 1863, the redoubt was established where the Adygako and Paguako rivers flow into the Shebsh. The hill, revered by Circassians since ancient times, remains within the administrative center of the village of Tkhamakha. Two distinct historical associations therefore coexist: the hill’s veneration and the redoubt’s location at the confluence of rivers. If you would like to include the hill in your plans, ask in advance whether it can be visited.
Hiking the Great Kuban Trail
The Great Kuban Trail (Bolshaya Kubanskaya tropa) is a four-day route through Seversky District and the city of Goryachy Klyuch. In Tkhamakha, it follows Mira Street and then a forest road along the Adegaka River. The four-day figure describes the route as a whole, not the section in Tkhamakha, so it is not a walking time for this local section. Check trail conditions before setting out, as they may change.
Krasnodar Region: Wine Route and Nature Parks
A separate regional attraction is the «Vinnye dorogi Krasnodarskogo kraya» route in the Krasnodar Region. It showcases more than 2,500 years of viticulture and winemaking history—from antiquity to the present—with interactive exhibitions and installations. The route description mentions the possibility of visiting 20 wineries; this number may change. The listed stops are Anapa, Taman, Golubitskaya, Sennoy, Moldavanskoye, Novorossiysk, Abrau-Dyurso, Fedotovka, and Gelendzhik. Check the route and current options before making plans for this trip.
A regional overview dated March 18, 2024, lists four nature parks in the Krasnodar Region: «Anapskaya peresyp», «Markotkh», «Vulkany Tamani», and «Azovskiye kosy». In «Azovskiye kosy» Nature Park, sea waves and currents shape spits and islands of varied outlines from sand and shells. Colonies of various gull, tern, and cormorant species are present year-round on shallow waters near the coast, at the ends of the spits, and on sandy islands; the presence of individual birds varies by season. «Anapskaya peresyp» Nature Park offers a different experience: visitors can walk along broad, golden beaches, while tall sand dunes rise farther from the sea. The regional nature attractions thus differ, with coastal landforms and bird colonies on the one hand, and beach walks and dunes on the other.
