Garganta de Navalíshchina, Natural monument in southern Russia.

Garganta de Navalíshchina is a 1,500 m canyon cut by the Bolshaya Khosta river through the Akhun ridge, in Sochi's Khosta district, Krasnodar Krai. Its slopes carry relict yew and boxwood stands, and the Tiso-Samshitovaya grove and the Khosta fortress sit on a terrace above.

The gorge lies where the Bolshaya Khosta river cuts through the Akhun ridge, in Sochi's Khosta district, Krasnodar Krai. Its name comes from Navalishin, a 19th-century landowner of the surrounding territory. The site is listed as a natural monument and protected area of Russia.

The name comes from Navalishin, the 19th-century owner of the surrounding land. On one of the gorge's terraces stand the White Rocks, the Yew-Box Grove and the Khosta fortress, which visitors can reach from the gorge.

The gorge lies in the Khosta district of Sochi, where the Bolshaya Khosta river cuts through the Akhun ridge; the canyon runs about 1,500 m. The White Rocks terrace, the Yew-Boxwood Grove and the Khosta fortress stand on the slopes and terraces nearby, so plan the walk to take in all three.

The gorge cuts through the Akhun ridge, which the Bolshaya Khosta river has carved over its 1,500 m course. On one of its terraces stand the White Rocks, and the nearby slope of Mount Akhun holds the Yew-Boxwood Grove and the Khosta fortress, so a single walk links the canyon to these sites.
