Castle of Cunning and Love

Kislovodsk, near Alikonovka settlement, Alikonovka river canyon

Castle of Craftiness and Love — a high cliff in the outskirts of Kislovodsk, located near the Alikonovka River. This place got its name thanks to an old legend about the unhappy love between shepherd Ali Konov and princess. The crag towering above the ravine has become one of the region's most famous natural attractions and a popular spot for sightseeing tours and excursions.
