During our trip, I saw two of the most beautiful places on earth. One of them I have already described by me - Martian landscapes of the Taman Peninsula, and the second - the vicinity of the Yasenskaya ferry, will be discussed today. And if the first creates a feeling of unreality and being on another planet, then the other pleases the eye with a combination and alternation of color shades, and warms the soul, we realize that this is all ours, dear.
The route of our trip and its concept can be seen here: We are participating in the project «Russia in 365 days»
Initially, we went to Lake Khan, photos of which I saw in LiveJournal at wild-hedgehogs. Thank you very much for the tip about these places. Only now, at the entrance to the village of Yasenskaya ferry near Shilovka, we gasped and waved from the view that opened in front of us and jumped like mountain goats from a car and ran away to photograph what we saw. Red, yellow, white, gray stripes alternating with each other and forming multi-colored panels against the background of the silver mirror of the Sea of Azov. Such beauty, it seems to me, should amaze any person, even those who are indifferent to nature..

The very same village Yasenskaya ferry is a private sector and a minimum of tourists in the month of September. I don’t know how things are in the season. The sea here smoothly passes into the Beysugsky estuary, and at the entrance there is a shield warning about the danger of swimming in these places. Maybe this is the case? But in any case, here only for a family vacation, not for a party..

After 50 meters of the water surface, you can see the Yasenskaya Spit, but you can get to the other side only through Primorsko-Akhtarsk, making a detour 100 miles or by boat (or simply by swimming). We did not do this, firstly, because we somehow did not want to, and secondly, the arm separating the Yasenskaya ferry from the Yasenskaya spit has some kind of military significance, as evidenced by the border guard tower and barbed wire on a separate section of the coast ... Although people swim and drive there in cars, I myself have seen.

Having passed through the village of Yasenskaya ferry, we find ourselves on a narrow strip of land dividing the Beysugsky estuary on one side, and Lake Khan on the other (width 200-500m). The road is picturesque, the beaches are dangerous from the point of view of the warning shield, and the wind characteristics are good. Kiters, as on Kose Long, there are.
The dust is worth...

If anyone will go there, then keep to the right road, otherwise our path to the right led us into some reeds, where the road ended safely. The first time I saw this, when there is a very good rolling road, and it was once and straight, as cut off. In the next article about Khan lake, actually, where we originally went 🙂
