Цемесская роща, Natural monument forest in Novorossiysk, Russia.
The Tsemesskaya Grove extends for 2.5 kilometers along the Tsemes River with a width of 500 meters, covering 126 hectares of diverse woodland.
The grove received protected status in 1983 as a Category III Natural Monument, preserving the last remaining section of ancient forests around Tsemes Bay.
Local residents refer to the forest as the city's lungs, with the name Tsemes originating from Adyghe language, meaning an area with numerous insects.
Multiple dirt paths cross through the forest, connecting to public transport stops on Anapa Highway, with routes 1, 19, 30, and 41M serving the area.
The forest houses the giant Caucasian ground beetle, reaching 5.5 centimeters in length, which requires high moisture conditions and minimal human contact.
