About this experience
We are going to the Assy Plateau and the Turgensky Gorge - where you can only get on off-road vehicles, where tourist buses won't pass. Along an incredibly picturesque road, we will ascend to an altitude of 2700 meters above sea level, see the grand observatory of Assy-Turgens, and after lunch, we will take an easy walk on a beautiful route to the Turgensky, or Bear, waterfall.
