The nature is great, everything is clean. There are many cafes that are in no hurry to serve customers in the morning, despite the fact that it was already past 10:00 on the clock. Everyone has a monotonous menu, there are no pancakes with cottage cheese, no cheesecakes for breakfast. In one of the cafes (lower cafes under the observation deck)the hamsters did not cook the boat well, the dough was not ready, it was only covered with a crust, the cheburek was not cooked. When traveling to Lake Ritsa, it is better to take a thermos of tea and sandwiches with you.
The place is mesmerizing with its beauty.
The water is an unusually emerald color.
But: - there is no civilized toilet, parking on the ground, which is not so good especially after the rain and considering that it is always humid there.
So take your shoe covers with you
It was very beautiful, we got there after the rain, when the river along the road was bubbling and hovering like fog over the water. The road to the lake itself gives a lot of impressions, especially when you drive through the canyon, and on the left and right there are mountains of such height that even the clouds cling to them. I left my fishing rod on the lake, but I didn't catch a trout, although I splashed around. Mine were riding a catamaran at that time. I recommend driving early in the morning, while there are no crowds of jeepers.
The road to the lake is very picturesque, especially in July. A waterfall from a mountain that dissipates in the air is generally something fabulous. The bubbling riverbed is mesmerizing. The mountains are amazing in their beauty. And at the end of this path is a lake. I recommend everyone to visit this place.
The place is very beautiful, but if you arrive by car, then parking here will not be very convenient, we are lucky that it is already off-season and there were almost no tourists. There is a cafe on the observation deck
I recommend going to the side of Stalin's former 11th residence
It's quiet there, there's a cozy cafe, there aren't many people, you can park in peace
There is no fuss and a bunch of buses, you can also take a catamaran. There is a milk waterfall nearby!
It's beautiful, but there are nuances). You need to drive in a wheelbarrow and go to the other side of the lake, to Joseph Vissarionovich's dacha there are no tourists there, it's quiet and infernally beautiful!👍😀
This is a great place! Especially early in the morning. The nature is extraordinary, very beautiful. Of course, you can't swim in the lake. And the road to the lake is generally a separate story, words cannot describe what a beauty. If you haven't been there, be sure to visit this place, you won't regret it.
A place where you can really cheer up by feeling the cold water of the lake. It is especially pleasant to do this when the air temperature reaches 30 degrees Celsius, creating a pleasant contrast.
The lake is striking in its beauty, the shades of water depend on the color of the surrounding nature and the weather.
Everything is good and beautiful. But the abhaz will become under the sign everything is ok as soon as the Russian is immediately drawn. Everything is very expensive. There are many places that need to be put in order. I'll give you four for beauty!!!! The rest is a minus!!!!
The place is a must-visit! Only dress warmer, it's cold in the mountains, 950m above sea level no matter how. And be careful on the road, there are a lot of experienced guides on UAZS running around like crazy)
The lake is beautiful! The road is beautiful, you can't swim here, and it's good that you can't. Stalin's dacha is two kilometers away, and there will be a waterfall on the way. There is a toilet on the beach, if you dare to go in there! It's worth going. There are almost no cows on the road, the track is normal
It's a great place.
But don't waste time on the pop side with a bunch of people, cars, food tents. Take a watermelon with you, drive around the lake from the other side to Stalin's former dacha (destroyed). And enjoy the peace.
The only thing is that some kind of dubious tent appeared and takes 100 rubles. For allegedly parking, who can check the legality of this levy.
A very beautiful place on the Ritz, there are practically no people, it is clean and the lake opens right from the foot of the mountains. There are abandoned Stalinist buildings nearby, lovers of antiquity have a place to climb. We were on the beach at sunset - very atmospheric.
The biggest disappointment of Abkhazia is Lake Ritsa in July, the road there is picturesque, there is no doubt, the lake itself is beautiful in the mountains, but the locals turned it into a Turkish bazaar. This is a beach that is not a beach, you can not swim, you can not walk in a swimsuit. But on the other side of the lake there are solid kebabs, catamarans and a crowd of people. Prices for everything are higher than in Sochi, you can go out of season probably, I do not recommend it categorically in the summer, It's better to go to Gagra, there are no people there at all!
The water is clean, transparent
Silence, beautiful views
You can't swim, but you can ride catamarans.
You can have a snack there is a table and continue the journey further.
It's beautiful, but eco-collection doesn't work!!! The shore is dirty, the water is clear, clean, everything is visible well and there are some fallen structures. I.e. it is clear that the park does not have an owner...
There is no beach there, swimming was banned and an "eagle" was planted, waiting for who would get into the water and who would be fined (the big question is on what grounds). We used to go for a swim in the lake, but now there's no point in going
Another scam of the century!!! They show you the air for your money... Yes, it's beautiful, but for a couple of photos and a lot of positive emotions, you just pay someone... Not a small amount of money...photo with a peacock ...))) yes, it's just that you already have to be in Abkhazia)))
A great place to relax with tents or have a picnic. We stayed here for the night. Clean, there are garbage containers, barbecues and gazebos. Birds are singing, lake, mountains, rivers, forest, this is a miracle of nature.
Very cool, beautiful. The air, the Alps are resting. Winter and summer are different, but very cool, quietly majestic, calmly it must be seen in words cannot be described.
The view is incomparable, there are few people, they bring excursions, but we were with a tent and in the evening there is no one. And literally: no one! Only a mountain river, a lake and the ruins of Stalin's dacha. I recommend lovers to be alone with nature! A ride on a catamaran is a must! But take an hour at once, in half an hour you won't see anything at all. For an adult 500rubles for half an hour, for children under 7 for free. You can fish in the lake, for free. The presence of urns pleases! There is no garbage, it's very nice to be there! But in the morning there is a hammer on the shore, the sun rises from behind the mountains and warms up only by about noon.
The beach is certainly beautiful, as is all the nature around. The place is very cool. But... swimming is prohibited, you can go into the water for photos and videos. Catamarans work, the price is 1000 rubles per person, seats are 4re. Abkhazians make money in the air, but people are BEING LED
The beach is the name. In the usual sense, there is no beach, there is a shore and the mouth of a river flowing into the lake.
Of course it's beautiful. It's nature.
It's not well-maintained at all! For the money that is taken everywhere on the territory, it was possible to make such beauty! But why, after all, you can get 700 rubles per person at the entrance. And do nothing!
The nature is beautiful, the lake is awesome! But the crowd of people at the entrance and the desire of the locals to fuck you, starting with an impudent paddock to a paid parking lot, is simply depressing... Dear tourists, go straight to the end of the lake! It's much more colorful and freer there!
The lake is impressive, but a catamaran ride on the lake is something, the greatness of this place created by nature is amazing, there are enough impressions for a long time, even the road to the lake itself is replete with beautiful places where you can take pictures and make great videos for a long memory of these places.
We were there in terrible weather, but we liked it anyway, the beauty is magical, extraordinary, the restaurant with wonderful cuisine, I will certainly repeat!!!
The landscapes are unrealistically beautiful, the blood inside freezes from the views around. A lot of cafes, delicious food. There are several toilets. Clear. Parking is paid.
It is incredibly beautiful, but dirty, as everywhere in Abkhazia, it is better to go to the shore, which is closer to Stalin's dacha, There are much fewer people there.
I liked everything! We rode catamarans on the lake, took a lot of photos, swam up to the waterfall. The beach is cool, you can't swim. Well, the views of the lake are an indescribable beauty.
The view is beautiful, people have an abundant desire to swim on catamarans, you can come with an overnight stay.Cafes are expensive, but there is a cafe on top with very tasty cooking, we ate 2 times (winter and summer)
The father is the pearl of Abkhazia. I have been traveling to Abkhazia for 15 years and the Ritsa is always visited. I advise you to stop by from Stalin's dacha. The views are not worse, there are fewer people
It is very beautiful, but it is difficult to park, and if there is a traffic jam, it is difficult to get through, thanks to the traffic police, if it were not for them, they would have been stuck there at all.
If you are driving by car, I advise you to drive past the main entrance with parking lots. There, except for the crowds of tourists and kebabs, you will not see anything. Drive on towards Stalin's dacha. You reach the Dacha 11 sign and turn into the forest. Then you will go to a gorgeous place on the other side of the lake, where there is almost no one except one catamaran station. The views are amazing.
