On top of the highest mountain in the vicinity of Sochi Akhun in 1936 the tower was built. To get to the top of its viewing platform, it is necessary to overcome the spiral stone staircase. Her every new twist opens the visitor a magnificent view of the sea expanse, mountain panorama Caucasus mountain range and the city, which lies at a glance.

Author of the project, a talented architect SI Sparrows united in its creation of a collective image of the traditional mountaineers fortifications and medieval castles. With a height of 700 meters above sea level can be seen almost all of Sochi. And among its residents and visitors for many years there is a perception that in clear weather from the tower on Mount Akhun you can see the distant Turkish coast.

Take the short journey down the trail, descending from the mountain Ahun, you can get to another equally popular object - Agur Gorge. The unique cascade of three waterfalls, one steeper than the other, surrounded by benches leaving up - what could be more mysterious and beautiful? On the way to the legendary Eagle Rock, where, according to legend, Prometheus was chained there are many interesting places, "Grotto of Love", "Nora devil" and, finally, the three-meter sculpture of a hero who gave humans fire.
