It's a great place, if you're lucky, you can see a train passing by. The station is very beautiful and the fact that it is not operational adds charm. At the same time, it is very sad that such beauty will disappear sooner or later if no one restores it, but for now it is there and definitely worth visiting this place, you just need to descend from the New Athos monastery down, and climb up at the fountain and bypass the lake.
The place is unrealistically beautiful. By the way, as the locals say, the station is operational and trains rarely pass there during the off-season.
There is a waterfall nearby.
A very interesting place! Near the lake and the dam of the Novoafonskaya HPP. The monastery is much higher, so it is better not to walk here, but by transport to the parking lot.

There are mountains, forests around, and tunnels on both sides of the platform. The great Soviet people built a structure of magical beauty, preserving the unique nature and decorating the platform and pavilion so that we still enjoy the modeling, decorations and general architectural design. I wish that one day there would be money for the reconstruction of this beauty!
Such a beautiful place. They were able to build in the Soviet Union. The local authorities should be ashamed of this condition. The pond can be cleaned, because the water is so beautiful and covered in algae
An atmospheric place in New Athos. It is beautiful and sad that such beauty is dying.... The lake has not been cleaned for a long time... And it's all covered in algae...
Devastation. Mud. Sadness... However, there are also advantages. You can take great pictures against the background of a beautiful lake, lush subtropical vegetation with mossy buildings. There is also a banana growing in front of the station, right in front of its entrance. There are few stations in the world that could boast of such qualities, and certainly in the CIS.
