Description
The Zelenchukskaya radio astronomical observatory is a significant scientific facility located in the Zelenchuksky district, Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia. Founded in 2001 by the Institute of Applied Astronomy (IPA) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN).
This observatory is the second of three observation points of the Kvazar-KVO network, which carries out ultra-long-baseline radio interferometry. Its main instrument is the RTF-32 radio telescope, which is widely used in national and international astronomical observations such as EVN (European VLBI Network) and IVS (International VLBI Observing Service for Astrometry and Geodesy).
The observatory conducts research in various fields of astronomy, including radio interferometry, astrometry, astrophysics (including the study of the Sun, planets of the solar system, galactic and extragalactic objects) and geodynamics.
The territory of the observatory is a well-groomed and clean space where you can even meet a well-fed cat. A visit to the observatory is possible only after prior agreement with the staff and organization of an excursion.
The RTF-32 radio telescope has impressive technical characteristics, such as a main mirror diameter of 32 m and a wide operating wavelength range from 1.35 to 21 cm.
The Zelenchukskaya Observatory actively participates in international scientific networks and services, which emphasizes its importance in world astronomy. Her work contributes to expanding our knowledge of the Universe and promotes the development of scientific research in Russia.

Медведи, лесной кот, олени, яки, рысь, волки, особое впечатление производит зубр! Можно купить набор еды (морковь, яблоки) и кормить травоядных животных.
Источник питьевой минеральной воды Джемагатские нарзаны. Место оборудовано для набора воды. Рядом есть небольшое кафе. Дорога от Теберды грунтовая, местами с большими камнями. На низкой машине проехать невозможно, высокая пройдет. Дорога до источника очень живописная, можно дойти пешком.
Водопад Шумка - невысокий, но красивый водопад , расположенный недалеко от трассы. К нему ведет крутая каменистая тропа. за проход надо заплатить экологический сбор - в будке сидит лесник.
Живописный каскад озер в горном ущелье. К ним ведет туристическая тропа от трассы Теберда-Домбай.
