The "Fern" eco-trail runs through a shady broadleaf forest, rich in plants and animals. It gets its name from the abundance of ferns along the route.
These amazing plants appeared on Earth millions of years ago and have survived to this day. Ferns prefer a warm, humid climate. At an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, where the trail passes, optimal conditions for their growth have developed.
Ferns appeared on Earth millions of years ago and were present in the lives of its first inhabitants. Eleven species and subspecies of these ancient plants have survived in the forests of the Krasnaya Polyana Resort. At an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, where the eco-trail passes, ideal conditions have developed for their growth – the plants prefer a warm, humid climate.
The fern thickets create a truly magical landscape. As you walk along the trail, you'll hear birdsong, see centuries-old beeches and chestnut trees, and cross mountain streams.
The route includes a viewing platform for forest creatures, an interactive music station with unusual instruments, and rest areas where you can relax surrounded by pristine nature.
The Paporotnikovaya circular trail begins at the lower station of the Champion's Start cable car and ends at the entrance to the Rope Park at an altitude of 900 meters. From there, you can easily return to the cable car or walk to Polyana 960 past the 4 Elements Mountain Baths Complex.
