in early spring people used the river to get to the rocky range where a cave. is situated along a tributary of the larger river nature reserve staff. existence by chance. where. we had not been aware of its existence for ten years when locals told us about it they said sheep being sheltered in the caves first tunnel when we first came here we did see tracks left by sheep yes that's right i remember the first time i came here we did see tracks left by sheep. the cave extends for more than a kilometer several narrow corridors hide a large central chamber. walls are covered in drip stones still lack tights and still like mines. the north. hibernates deep underneath the ground they represent the red book species. and the

horseshoe nosed bat more than two thousand bats gather here in the winter. together in order to survive the cold weather in summer they fly to the foothills and return again in autumn they start preparing for migration in early spring when they split up into smaller groups. sometimes i find all of the covered with jew. they look very nice like covered in tinsel. ok visit closed ecosystem the humidity is one hundred percent and the temperature in the caves is constant which is exactly what bats need human should avoid staying in the caves for too long as they start to have an impact on the special climate conditions. fuck i got that with lucy you know you guys when you hear them calling

. you know this means we warmed up their confined habitat i thought. if they start flying around they will use up their fat and may not survive until spring. so let's get out of here. the. unexpected obstacle to our. path. will be impossible. before next spring. springs from the glaciers of the great.

scientists say more than one hundred. because there are obvious targets.

lyn march scattered across the reserve reflect a history of. people first began using caves and overhanging rocks as. a loans where the ancestors of. they built stone fortifications overlooking mountain paths so they'd be more easily defensible. in those days even temora. was unable to cross this territory the highlanders blocked the mountain passes and pelted his troops with stones. these tel was built in the middle ages. period dates back to the fourteenth or seventeenth century. celebrated architectural landmarks of ancient north. they differ in height and

shape as a rule extended families lived in short towers. were used as lookout points and for other defensive purposes the towers were built close to villages and gorges with paths used by troops on foot and on horseback many were extensions of clips. rock face. protection from. tel was served as. if people manning which tell was in the lowest lying villages at the entrance to the door which noticed approaching enemy troops then they would lodge the. people in so the smoke. was in remote parts of the gold. in accordance with a long standing tradition. was to take no more than a year if builders failed to meet the deadline the structure was pulled down and

built a new towers belonging to the same clan were regarded as sanctuaries in due course they became symbols of the power and wealth as time went by they turned into veritable objects of worship. one of the most revered sanctuaries of the people. located in the gorge eighteen hundred meters above sea level. well i can test indicates that here. from here in the chance or eleventh century. this fence was built a couple of centuries later at the. initially in orthodox church was here but orthodoxy grew weaker turned into

a pagan sanctuary. city to the scholars an animal's by hunters who were brought here. scientists don't yet know exactly when the recall was built only logs were used to make it no nails or anything made of. carved poles support the wooden roof they feature patterns that look like a camel's head resting on a long neck. arrow and spirit heads have been found here according to legend the oldest city in prince tar was kept here hazard thirty one travelers visiting this place in the eighteenth century saw it. only natural features are destined to be the reserves eternal landmarks. over the centuries water and wind have crafted unique mountain landscapes.

many of them are hidden from the inquisitive eyes of tourists. only the staff of the nature reserve are aware of their location. if ever that part of this will funnel is called the ring it is a unique natural feature of this century. has broken through limestone beds here to make a hole in the shape of a ring the will to reflect that it forms a rainbow. like this one are rare not only in the caucasus but in the entire world the stone is about two metres wide. its broadest part consists of three layers of limestone the age of the rock is estimated between one hundred and one hundred twenty million years.

absolutely pure i would say it's the standard for natural water. in the limestone of the kerry range there also is crystal clear up to filtering through many kilometers of limestone not over. the cut since q canyon with rock terraces grados and knishes begins right under the ring waterfall it took the car to go on mountain stream. thousands of years to force its way through the rock. swaying many tones from cliff tops and terrace. a stream of winds and loops through the stones and. this is. very clean water for life but it's a rare species in the mountain streams of the caucasus.

the canyons must date back to the period in winter they're covered with ice they're known as weeping walls because of the constantly dripping water in summer. the reserves melt and streams overflow their banks in early spring but they're not the main threat to the mountain paths rockslide said in with the arrival of warm weather. first create. clear. second explosives are used to a deeper than the. remainder. is

what's really happening to the global economy. headlines kaiser reports. in spring. mating season in the mountains of the north reserve. this is the best time for observing what are otherwise quite secretive animals and scientists take full advantage of the opportunity. getting to their habitats is quite a problem avalanches stand in the way. one of them has blocked the road leading to the gorge where rangers have seen.

no we'll have to walk. some. will try to take. the train. with hundred fifty. usually slides down slowly from the slope. yes.

in north. since the snow. and avalanche fell and. nobody was hit by snow slabs but the road was entirely blocked. grazing somewhere in the mountains the rangers will have to go on foot to reach them. about a week ago. sure a couple of metres. sometime ago there was a good chance of people encountering. on the mountain paths today scientists tend

to observe them through their binoculars these graceful animals prefer the higher altitudes. have no difficulty clearing steep slopes they almost never slip off as they know how to spread their center of gravity evenly and choose the right foot. and they have no fear of heights. the east asian variety of goats inhabits this reserve it's possible to tell them apart by the shape of their horns. with. the right. and the left horn points to the right. cohesion goats or wild animals. but high in the mountains they often allow rock

climbers to come surprisingly close. at them over the. matter of ten meters do you think those who got used to the presence of people. quite tolerant of them near the training camps up for rock climbers. when they camp out for the night up in the mountains. there are many fascinating routes for climbing and within the reserve law. they often use the cliff faces in glaciers for training any ascent is always fraught with risk. a small cliff is the best place for training and testing out new gear right. careful as you go down from here.

works that were once phones ourselves in an extreme situation so a strong gusts of wind during our ascent visibility was a mia ten metres in those conditions we couldn't climb down from the top of the mountain or i was a beginner in rock climbing that was my third climb needless to say i was. a wise climber never ventures into the mountains alone three climbers is the minimal number. summer is the ideal season for challenging climbs. in spring climbers examine the best way to get up the mountains work out new routes and compare mountain terrain with its map description.

well we are going to the ice sprints. well let's try and climb through that snow there and come from the right side through the rock. should iraq steer. well we'll see when we reach the place. which. let's get going. climbing even to the lower peaks of the mountain range takes no small effort. to areas humid and rarefied the sun is blinding snow may collapse at any moment the climbers have to exert themselves to conquer the flat mountain. in accordance with tradition one setup the summit rock climbers drink tea with bitter chocolate. to help yourself. but you hear what attracts me to the mountains that's the most difficult question i

can think of i don't think any climber or fan of extreme sports could answer simply i enjoy rock climbing and the beautiful landscape. on the mountains rapidly and in spring the weather can change very quickly the climbers need to get down as fast as possible. mazes receiving. their group reached the top at thirteen forty five when beginning of the descend what's the weather like just fine everything's ok going down. thanks. the reserve is situated along the buck avoid range where the slopes are steep and rocky some of the peaks are four and a half kilometers above sea level rocks stones in glaciers are scattered all around .

discussed the schemers or it is situated in a glaciers melt in a city gorge. reserve staff get down to the most important work at the height of the springtime ski season. they're going to release this small bison herd into the wild for the time being the animals graze in a special pen. these bison have lived

in captivity since birth the blood of a wild ox by the name of cub because flows in their veins. was sent to a private nursery after being caught in one thousand nine hundred seven by the russian emperor while on a hunting expedition when all the bison had been exterminated in the north caucasus it was come cause at the forefront of the restoration of the caucasian bison subspecies. this is a great grandson of golf cause by the name of the dole was born in one thousand nine hundred twenty five as far as i can gather he was the forefather all the caucasian subspecies of the bison in the one nine hundred thirty s. he was taken toscanini in over a soviet nature reserve there he meted with female bill or worse by certain that was the origin of a bison subspecies with cookies and blood. since early this morning reserve staff have been trying to compel the bison to enter special cages for transportation. during the quarantine period animals became

accustomed to their pen and learn to trust people so they're in no hurry to go out and the wild. after several and successful attempts one of the females is lurd into the cage now the herd will follow suit mice and are known for their matriarchal behavior. come on faster. well done. the bison steadfastly endured their temporary captivity all on their way to their new habitat. the return of caucasian vice into the wild is a joint project undertaken by the north essential nature reserve and the world wildlife fund. there are things ready so we go yes let's go. to the. bus and already

accustomed to the wild graze nearby. it's not yet known whether they'll accept or reject their newcomers. the forests and the mountains are beyond human influence. all that's left for the reserve staff to do is monitor the animals and preserve this protected area of the north caucasus.
