Lake Podkova is located within the natural monument “Gryazelechebnyy uchastok (Stebliyevskaya solyonaya podkova).” Its horseshoe shape and about seven springs define this natural site. The springs release gas, water, and mud; these include small and large, quietly active gas vents. The natural monument was established in 1979.

Part of the Caucasian Nature Reserve lies in Krasnoarmeyskiy District; the Black Forest and Red Forest are associated with this area. Caucasian deer and wild boar were mentioned in the Red Forest near Oktyabrskiy in 2023. Their presence may change over time.

The permanent exhibition at the Museum of the History of the stanitsa of Poltavskaya currently spans four halls. It covers the archaeology of the Kuban, the history of the Poltava kuren, the stanitsa during the Great Patriotic War, and the defense of the homeland in different periods. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are two halls for temporary exhibitions and lectures. Check the latest museum information before visiting.

There is also an art gallery in Oktyabrskiy. A 2023 article also described tours at the equestrian arena for children and adults, which include a look around the stables and opportunities to ride. Check dates and availability in advance.

The lotus valley near the stanitsa of Staronizhestebliyevskaya offers another way to experience nature: a boardwalk leads to the lotus blossoms and allows visitors to view them. Check the boardwalk’s current condition and access before visiting.

As a broader travel destination, Krasnodar Krai offers its own nature and cultural attractions. In the “Azovskiye kosy” nature park, sea waves and currents shape spits and islands from sand and shells. Bird colonies of various gull, tern, and cormorant species are found year-round on shallow waters near the coast, at the ends of the spits, and on sandy islands; their presence varies by season.

At the “Anapskaya peresyp” nature park, visitors can walk along broad golden beaches. Farther from the sea, the sand forms a series of tall dunes. These coastal landscapes differ from the lake, forest, and lotus scenery of Krasnoarmeyskiy District.

For culture and wine, Krasnodar Krai offers the “Vinnye dorogi Krasnodarskogo kraya” route. It traces more than 2,500 years of viticulture and winemaking, from antiquity to the present. The route description mentions visits to 20 wineries, as well as interactive exhibitions and installations. Check the latest route information before planning your trip.
