Beryozovaya

Beryozovaya is a river that cuts through the Berezovsky gorge, flowing past limestone cliffs and rock walls. It carves through the landscape, creating pools and cascades as it moves downstream.

The river has been carving through the landscape for millions of years, slowly eroding the limestone and creating the gorge we see today. This geological process has shaped the distinctive rock formations that dominate the area.

The river serves as a water source that local people have relied on for farming and livestock for generations. This daily use shapes how communities connect with the land around them.

Access is easiest on marked trails that lead down into the gorge and past viewpoints along the water. Wear sturdy shoes since paths can be rocky and wet near the flowing water.

In some sections the water has carved hidden channels and small caves into the limestone walls that most visitors miss. These concealed features add another layer to understanding how water shapes rock over time.
