Молдовский сельский округ, Rural district in Adlersky District, Sochi, Russia.
This rural district lies between three river systems and encompasses eight settlements spread across a countryside landscape. The villages are situated within river valleys and wooded terrain that shapes how communities are connected to one another.
The district was formed in 1961 when a previous administrative council was reorganized following changes in the regional structure. This transition marked a new chapter in how the rural communities here managed their shared affairs.
The villages here each have their own character, shaped by generations of families who chose to build their homes in this region. Walking through the settlements, you notice how people have adapted to life between the river valleys and forested hills.
You will need a car or other transport to explore these scattered villages, as they spread across a rural area. Plan to take your time moving between settlements to notice the local differences and natural features around each community.
The position between three different river systems creates natural conditions that shape the landscape in ways you notice while exploring. As you move between villages, you see how the water systems have influenced both the terrain and how people built their communities.
