Severskaya, human settlement in Seversky District, Krasnodar Krai, Russia
Severskaya is a small village in Krasnodar region set among farmland with fruit orchards and vegetable gardens that frame the settlement. Houses made of wood and stone line winding streets, while the Ubin river flows nearby creating green corridors for walking and narrow channels of clear water.
Founded in 1864 from a Cossack settlement, the village grew from military outposts established by Black Sea Cossack regiments. The name traces to the barracks of a Cossack regiment commanded by Prince Ivan Bagration, a figure whose influence marked the region's development.
The village maintains Cossack heritage through daily community practices and strong neighborly bonds that visitors can observe in the streets and gatherings. Traditional farming methods and home-based fruit cultivation shape how people spend their days and interact with each other.
The village is accessible by train station offering connections from Krasnodar some 30 kilometers away, and by bus to nearby markets and larger towns. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water for walking trails, starting early in the day when temperatures are cooler.
Near the village stands a restored dolmen burial site dating to around 1500 BC, revealing how ancient peoples built ritual monuments on this land. Visitors may also discover large mysterious stones scattered through nearby forests whose origins remain puzzling to this day.
