Guzeripl' at a glance
The Leopard Trail at the Kordon in Guzeripl' is 1,700 metres long and runs through a fir forest. The dolmen there is over 2 metres high and about 2.5 metres wide; it dates from the 1st or 2nd millennium BC.
What can you experience at the Kordon in Guzeripl'?
The Leopard Trail focuses on the forest route and its length. The dolmen offers a different point of reference: as a megalithic structure, it can be understood as a construction made of large stones. Its measurements give the structure a tangible scale, while its dating places it within a long prehistoric period.
A path starts at the dolmen, runs along the slope of Mount Filimonova and past its waterfall, and leads to the rope park. This makes it possible to follow the route based on its stated landmarks: from the dolmen along the slope and past the waterfall to the destination. Guzeripl' Rope Park's sports and entertainment complex includes a children's area and an extreme area. In the extreme area, a zip line crosses the Molchepa River. If you are planning a visit to the rope park, check the latest operating information.
