Vladimir Vysotsky Alpine Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:01:44

This small but interesting museum is named after the Soviet-era singer-songwriter and actor Vladimir Vysotsky, who was a great fan of the Elbrus region. The museum's exhibits aren't exclusively devoted to Vysotsky, however, and also include a number of fascinating photographs of Soviet ascents of Elbrus, as well as some sad stuffed animals. To get here, follow the road from the turn-off to Cheget for 3km or so until you see the Vysotsky bust.
