the habitat of the caucasian go and other animals is guarding closely here. from the top of the mountains the rivers rush into hundreds of streams which turn into endless waterfalls. this fanciful landscape attracts many rock climbers they can make their own roof among the rocks chains and mountain tops up to four thousand meters. in spring time the weather here can change several times in a day. it is slowly coming to life snowdrops are the first flowers to welcome the warmth of spring the tiny blossoms lurk in last year's grass.

the alligator gorge the river and the reserves mean waterway water is only just beginning to flood its wide bay. in early spring people use the river to get to the rocky range where a cave. is situated along a tributary of the larger river nature reserve staff only learned about its existence by chance. when you're not here we had not been aware of its existence for ten years when locals told us about it they said she played once in shelters 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 the cave walls are covered in drip stones still are tights

and still like markets. in the north caucasus largest that rockery hibernates deep underneath the ground they represent the red book species the male seared bat and the horseshoe nosed. more than two thousand bats gather here in the winter a couple 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 boats covered with jew. they look very nice like covered in kin so . 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. fucking that the ripley senior v.p. three can make ice can you hear them calling me if you know this means we've warmed up their confined habitat. if they start flying around they will use up their fat and may not survive until spring. so let's get out of here. on their way back the rangers run into an unexpected obstacle to our john river bed starts to filling with water and water is now blocking their path. a few hours later no vehicle will be able to clear this hurdle the only path to the

cave will be gradually immersed in water it will be impossible to use it again before next spring. the are doing river springs from the glaciers of the greater caucasus mountain range it runs the length of the nature reserve scientists say more than one hundred mountain streams and springs swiftly replenished the outer dawn with water. punching in their reserves prohibited armed rangers making daily rounds in its territory as a rule their routes run through the wooded slopes of mount and gorges. and wild boars inhabit the foothills unfortunately they still fall easy prey to hunters

because they're obvious targets they lay grazing in open spaces and rarely go uphill. and. lyn march scattered across the reserve reflect the history of. people first began using caves and overhanging rocks as dwellings times. a loans where the ancestors of. they built stone fortifications overlooking the mountain pass so they'd be more easily defensible. in those days even temper lanes mighty army was unable to cross this territory the highlanders blocked the mountain passes and pelted his troops with stones. these tell was began to built

in the middle ages their earliest period dates back to fourteenth or seventeenth century. towers or the most celebrated architectural landmarks of ancient north has set yet they differ in height and shape as a rule large extended families lived in wide short. taller ones were used as lookout points and for other defensive purposes the towers were built close to villages and in gorges with paths used by troops on foot and on horseback many were extensions of forbidding cliffs. rock faces but they provided protection from clan infighting among the diverse arrays. was served as beacons if people manning which tell was in the lowest lying villages at the entrance to the girl which noticed approaching enemy troops then they would lie don't fall as people in all the town was so the smoke. was in remote parts of the gorge. in

accordance with a long standing tradition building a tower was to take no more than a year if builders failed to meet the deadline destruction 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 clans power and wealth as time went by they turned into veritable objects of worship. one of the most revered sanctuaries of the a city in people is a medieval architectural site called the record i'm located in the gorge one thousand nine hundred meters above sea level. oh i can test indicates that the cska glass here disappeared from here in the tenth

or eleventh century with. this fancy was built a couple of centuries later the lovely initially an orthodox church was here when orthodoxy grew weaker it was turned into a pagan sanctuary. it did this closer to forms of animals killed by hunters 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 iron carved poles support the wooden roof they feature patterns that look like a camel's head resting on a long neck and wooded area and spirit heads have been found here according to legend to the owner of a city in principles but the tar was captured or has it there in travelers visiting displacing the eighteenth century saw it in one of the.

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 in quiz device and tourists. only the staff of the nature reserve are aware of their vocation for the power that brought them through this will file is cool to the ring it's a unique natural feature of this century the cultures and the river has broken through limestone beds here to make a hole in the shape of a ring there will be reflected it forms a rainbow. thought wonderfalls like this one are rare not only in the caucasus but in the entire world the stone rate 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 for. more than the whole ses absolutely pure i would say it's the standard for natural water it's filmed in the coast examine in the limestone of the karaoke range there also is crystal clear of the filtering through many kilometers of limestone not over. the cut since he came in with rock terraces grados admission is 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. give him what if you blow it swaying many tones tumble down from cliff tops and terrace

under normal conditions so we could go on to the village off by car but now we'll have to walk. some hundred metres wide there have been two arches here a week ago the avalanche fell here. we'll try to take another road i mean the upper road. the train's caucus's highway is the reserves most avalanche prone area with up to two hundred fifty avalanches each season. a snow slide can be set off from a shelter from skis touching it slightly or from a drift of snow. snow usually slides down slowly from the slope and avalanche of

dry snow is the fastest and most dangerous current just as. i thought but i know with all the cold is in place yes everything's ready. in north as a special militia fights avalanches. attention a lot. more now accurate shot since the snow flowing downwards. length. an avalanche fell into the fuel gun gorge during the night and nobody was hit by snow slabs but the road was entirely blocked caucasian goats are grazing somewhere in the mountains and rangers will have to go on foot to reach them. i mean the several answer occurred a few days ago about a week ago although his son came since then was it higher then i'm sure

a couple of metres all right let's go that. some time ago there was a good chance of people encounter in caucasian goats on the mountain paths today scientists tend to observe them through their binoculars these graceful animals prefer the higher altitudes. cohesion goats 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 foothold and they have no fear of heights. the east caucasian variety of goats inhabits this reserve it's possible to tell them apart by the shape of their horns with them full for girls who are in school in the form of a partial spiral you know with a gift like this like it but

a. spiral up or it's the right horn points to the left 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 . the world and with the physical you can marred by a matter of ten meters you think those who got used to the presence of people are. quite tolerant of them near the training camps up for rock climbers or when they camp out for the night up on the mountain in. the rope. and there are many fascinating routes for climbing and to see is sweet in the reserve law they often use the cliff

faces and glaciers for training any ascent as always fraught with risk a small cliff is the best place for training and testing out new gear right. i'd be careful as it all down from here. what were once phones oh selves in an extreme situation there were strong gusts of wind during our ascends visibility was in the a ten meters in those conditions so 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 very scared. a wise climber never ventures into the mountains alone three climbers is the minimal number. summer is the ideal season for challenging clients. and spring climbers examine the

best way to get up the mountains and work out new routes and compare mountain terrain with its map descriptions. what we are going to the ice prince. well let's try and climb through that snow there and come from the right side through the rock. shooting rocks here. well we'll see when we reach the place. which i thought ok let's get going. climbing even to the lower peaks of the mountain range takes no small effort. the air is humid and rarefied the sun is blinding snow may collapse at any moment the climbers have to exert themselves to conquer the flag mountain just. in accordance with tradition and once

atop the summit rock climbers drink tea with bitter chocolate. could help yourself . but for me why am i here what attracts me to the mountains you know that's the most difficult question i can think of i don't think any climber or family stream sports could answer it or simply i enjoy rock climbing and the beautiful landscape . dusk descends on the mountains rapidly and in spring the weather can change very quickly and climbers need to get down as fast as possible. mayes. mazes receiving. their group rates to talk at thirteen forty five when beginning to descend what's the weather like just fine everything's ok going down. yes thanks.

the bulk of the reserve is situated along the bulk of we range where the slopes are steep and rocky some of the peaks are four and a half kilometers above sea level rocks stones and glaciers are scattered all around. discuss the scheme resort is situated in the glaciers melt in his city square a 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 cover because flows in their veins comes cause was sent to a private nursery after being caught in one thousand and seven by the russian emperor while on a hunting expedition when all the bison had been exterminated in the north caucasus it was come constant the forefront of the restoration of the caucasian bison subspecies. this is a dude a great grandson of tough guys by the name of the book though was born in a nine hundred twenty five with a book of as far as i can gather it was the forefather old the caucasian subspecies of the bison of course but in one nine hundred thirty s. he was taken to los conny in nova soviet nature research and there he meets a good with female dealers by some of the latest that was the origin of

a bison subspecies with cookies and blood and what it. since early this morning reserve staff had been trying to compel the bison to enter special cages for transportation during their quarantine period animals became accustomed to their pen and learned to trust people so they're in no hurry to go out in the wild. not to be left after several and successful attempts one of the females is lurd into the cage and 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 bison to the wild

is a joint project undertaken by the north essential nature reserve and the world wildlife fund. there are things ready charley going yes let's go. to the. bison 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. three three. all that's left for the reserve staff to do is monitor the animals and preserve this protected area of the north caucasus.

all.
