Pshish - a river in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, the left tributary of the Kuban.

The river flows from south to north. It originates 9-10 km from the village of Altubinal, Tuapse district Krasnodar Territory Russia. Then it flows through the Apsheronsky and Belorechensky districts of the Krasnodar Territory. Near the village of Gabukai, the river passes into the territory of the Teuchezhsky district of the Republic of Adygea and then, near the village of Kunchukokhabl, flows into the Krasnodar reservoir.

The length of the river is 270 km (from the source of the Bolshoy Pshish River). The catchment area is 1,850 km².

In the upper reaches of the river, the current is fast, the river flows in a deep and narrow valley, when it leaves the mountains, the valley becomes wider. In the channel of the upper reaches and in the middle part of the river, small rifts and rather deep reaches alternate. The bottom on the rifts is covered with pebbles, in the reaches it is covered with coarse sand. In the lower reaches, the Pshish River flows smoothly and moderately.

The feeding of the river is mixed: snow, with a predominance of rain, as well as recharge from groundwater, which in places is knocked out by springs. The water level in the river and its flow vary greatly throughout the year. The highest water level is observed in spring period after the snow melts, and also in autumn after heavy rains. The ice regime on the river is unstable, sometimes the water in the river does not freeze through.

The Pshish River has over 50 tributaries. The largest right tributaries of the river are: Small Pshish, Gunayka, Khadazhka, Koshka, Tsitsa, Filtuk. The largest left tributaries of the river: Bolshoi Pshish, Parneva, Kura, Tsetse, Profile.

From the source of the river along the channel are the following settlements: Krasnodar Territory - Altubinal, Terziyan, Parotny, Goyth, Oktyabrsky, Navaginskoye, Shubinka (Tuapse district); Old Kurinsky, Kurinskaya, Station, Fern, Khadyzhensk, Kabardinskaya, Lesogorskaya, Tverskaya (Absheronsky district); Guria, Chernihiv, Novoguria, Kanevetsky, Bzhedukhovskaya, Nizhnevedeneyevsky, Glivenko (Belorechensky district); Republic of Adygea - Gabukay, Konchukokhabl (Teuchezhsky district).

Shipping

The river is not navigable.

Bridges and crossings

There are 2 railway bridges across the river in the village of Oktyabrsky; railroad bridge about s. Navaginskoye; automobile and pedestrian bridges in Khadyzhensk; automobile and pedestrian bridges in st. Kabardian; railway bridge near St. Kabardian; road bridges approx. Zakharov, Art. Tverskaya, st. Guriskaya, st. Bzhedukhovskaya, village Gabukay.

Fish

The Pshish River is rich in fish. The river is inhabited by chub, roach, barbel, gudgeon, trout, pike, carp, podust, perch, tench, bream, rudd, carp, crucian carp, silver bream, etc.

She received her name from the ancient Circassians who lived in those places. they cognized the world in their own way and naming this or that place, gave it a special meaning. Pshish was no exception. Now scientists are unraveling the meaning of the names, putting forward their own versions. The river itself belongs to water system Krasnodar Territory, as well as to Adygea. It is considered one of the left tributaries of another river,.

Previously, before the emergence of the Krasnodar reservoir, the river had a length of 258 km, now, of course, it has decreased after the artificial flooding of the lowlands. But the river basin has increased, now it is 1850 sq. km.

The nature of the river

Pshish gives rise to two other rivers, which, however, share names with it: in the northern part of the slopes of the Shessy near the Main Range, two Pshish, Big and Small merge and then flow together as an independent river. The beginning of her journey goes through a narrow gorge, which gradually expands as it passes the mountain ranges.
Food near Pshish is generally mixed, like many local rivers. Floods, of course, make a significant contribution, turning the river into a stormy, dark strong stream, snowmelt also feeds the river, especially in those places there are no problems at all with the level of precipitation.
The Pshish has no large tributaries, except for the Tsetse on the left and the Khadazhka with the Gunayka on the right, except for groundwater and two rivers at first, then small streams along the way, nothing more. In principle, this is enough for the river not to be afraid of hot days,

Due to the temperate climate and flow, the river freezes even in extreme cold only in places and then for a short time. There are years without ice at all. Adventurous and outdoor enthusiasts often come here to swim and compete with dangerous sections of the river.

Otherwise, Pshish is typical mountain river, which calms down in its middle part, when the mountain obstacles in the form of narrow gorges have already been overcome and you can safely flow along the valley.

Pshish(mouth. Zilch) (Pshish ady) - a river in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, a left tributary of the Kuban.

Before the filling of the Krasnodar reservoir, the length of the river was 258 km, at the moment its length has significantly decreased as a result of flooding of the lower reaches. As a result of the creation of the reservoir, the area of ​​the Pshish drainage basin has also decreased, previously it was 1850 km².

Description

Formed by the confluence of the river. Big and Small Pshish, originating on the northern slopes of Mount Shessy of the Main Caucasian Range. In the upper reaches, it flows in a deep and narrow valley; after leaving the mountains, the valley widens. Food is mixed, with a predominance of rain. Floods. The average annual water flow is about 25 m³/s, the highest is about 1000 m³/s. The ice regime is unstable, in some years the river does not freeze. Floating.

Settlements on Pshish: Kurinskaya, Khadyzhensk, Kabardinskaya, Chernigovskaya, Tverskaya, Guriskaya, Bzhedukhovskaya, Ryazanskaya.

The Pshish River in the Krasnodar Territory is far from in the first place. However, its valley is known for its memorable idyllic landscapes. The reservoir is also popular because in 2018 its banks were washed away by a major flood. But here we will not talk about sad things.

Where is the river Pshish on the map

The water flow, which has a rather stormy temper in its upper reaches, moves down to the north-west in a bizarre ribbon, passing through the territory of the Apsheron and Goryacheklyuchevsky districts of this region, as well as through a section of the Republic of Adygea.

Origin and geography of the river

This object, like the entire Kuban basin, was born tens of thousands of years ago - in the era of the appearance of the first Cro-Magnons on the Kuban-Azov lowland. Prior to this period, according to hydrologists, the entire Kuban system resembled an elongated bay of the Sea of ​​Azov - a fjord stretching curved for hundreds of kilometers.

The left sleeves of the main artery of the Krasnodar region (including the one about which in question) were actively settled by the ancestors of the Circassians and Abkhazians. Once these people were part of a single linguistic community associated by archaeologists with the Meotians, the descendants of the Indo-Europeans-Mitannians. Specifically, r. Pshish before the wars in the Caucasus was settled directly by the Adygs-Khatukaevs. Instead of some auls, 12 villages of the Kuban Cossacks soon appeared. But Shaumyan and Terziyan are Armenian villages (Russian tsarism brought Orthodox here).

The Adyghe name of the reservoir is translated by some linguists as “prince” (there are really elite burials on the banks), by others - as “loud sound”. At one time, the Cossacks remade the hydronym in their own way - Pshik. This variant remained in informal use.

The source of our "hero" is the confluence of the Big and Small Pshish streams (western slope). Girla is one of the watercourses of the Kuban in the region. The length of Pshish is 258 km. Once its length was longer - part of the lower reaches was under the water of the named artificial sea. The depth of the river does not exceed 2 m, and the width is 15-20 m. Along the course, first oak and beech forests of a steep crevice are found, then deciduous foothill groves, and only closer to the “finish” is an agrarian plain, which was once a ram pasture among local tribes .

The hydrological regime is associated with unstable snowmelt. Therefore, sometimes the height of the catchment basin exceeds the norm and level river water rises. Notable tributaries of the water "artery" are Filtuk, Koshka, Ples, Tsetse, Khadazhka, Khadyzhka, Ganzhinsky drain and Gunayka. The latter is famous for its three campsites.

Rest on the river Pshish and fishing

It is convenient to study the river by moving on different types transport - kayaks, cars and suburban train Armavir-Belorechensk-Station. In the lower reaches it is crossed by the Bzhedugkhabl-Adygeysk highway (this road is a segment of the route from Krasnodar to Maikop), in the middle reaches - the Apsheronsk-Goryachiy Klyuch highway. Well, the "asphalt road" leads to the upper reaches, connecting the picturesque villages of Shaumyan, Goyth, Terziyan and Altubinal.

The Pshish River in Khadyzhensk is decorated with many pedestrian and road crossings. One bridge stands out the most. It is located near the attraction Shaman Stone. We are talking about a rock of strange shape. It resembles the face of a Mongol.

Rest in the river delta can be varied. Let's start with the fact that some sections of the channel are called the "valley of ancient graves." For example, a mountain rises above the Perevalny farm, on which the most famous burial complex was found. No less interesting is the Lysaya upland (under it is the village of Goyth). Pilgrimages are often made here.

It is necessary to mention the glory as a tourist and resort town. It has a "view" in the tract Belaya Gora and a waterfall of stunning beauty - a cascade, with a total height of 25 m. The path is laid along the rocky river Khadazhka (not to be confused with Khadyzhka, on which the city is equipped). And there are several clinics on iodine-bromine waters.

Unfortunately, of the camp sites there is only an abandoned one - in a neighboring location from the village of Altubinal. However, extreme people or lovers of savings are even pleased ...

Fishing is another of the activities that you can afford. There are chub, barbel, black-bellied, crucian carp, silver bream, perch and podust. Places for fishing - almost all the channel.

Where the river flows ("sea" in the sector of the Krasnogvardeisky district of Adygea), the hospitable village of Kunchukokhabl awaits you. There are good guest houses in Khadyzhensk, the villages of Tverskaya and Kabardinskaya. Hotel "Psekups" 20 km from the mouth - in Adygeysk.
