Route description

The main selected portion begins already on White Rocks’ internal side. It links the limestone riverside setting with woodland and village-side lanes before returning towards the canyon area. The main natural stop is White Rocks Canyon and its pale walls beside the Greater Khosta River. Two short separate portions belong to narrow paths and the stairway side; check their permitted main-portion connections. The park currently does not recommend White Rocks, and the area has a weather closure until favourable conditions. Do not plan complete passage without confirmation that restrictions are removed and crossings are sound. Older walks and repair reports do not establish present bridge condition. Navalishinskaya Cave, cave shafts and old stone bridges are excluded as compulsory visits.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainДанные по набору высоты уточняются.
SurfaceТип покрытия пока не определён.
Риски The park does not recommend White Rocks, and a weather closure is published. Wait for confirmation of permitted access and sound crossings. Narrow ground paths and stairs can be slippery; some current paths are explicitly marked impassable in winter/rain. Avoid replacing old fords or missing bridges with improvisation. Hare Shaft is marked access prohibited; do not approach it merely because it is close.
