Republic of Adygea

The Republic of Adygea is best known within Russia for its forested foothills and high valleys of the western Caucasus. Almost entirely enclosed by Krasnodar Krai, the republic stretches from the Kuban lowlands toward mountain country crossed by the Belaya River. Parts of the protected Western Caucasus, a UNESCO World Heritage site, lie within its borders, preserving ancient forests and alpine terrain. Maykop, the capital, is the region’s main urban centre and a focus of Adyghe culture; Adyghe is an official language alongside Russian.
