In my article I will discuss the unique corner of the Caucasus - Arkhyz. Arkhyz - mountain village and the adjacent area in Zelenchukskaya Karachay-Cherkessia Republic. This is still one of the cleanest places in the world. The water is clean and useful (not unknown numerous brands of drinking water produced in Arkhyz), then flows directly into rivers. Just Arkhyz will give you a fresh, clean air, rich in oxygen and volatile production of mountain forests are 300 sunny days a year almost complete absence of mud.
