Gunib is one of the most beautiful places in the republic. Gunib
The Gunib plateau, which is about 50 sq. km, resembles a highly elevated island, which is cut off the outer world by the vertical precipices. It’s covered with pine forests. One can meet luxuriant brushwood of a relict Radde birch, which is met in such quantity only in Gunib and some other places of the Caucasus. The hill-sides are covered with a bright carpet of Sub-Alpine meadows.
In spring and summer people suffering from respiratory diseases have a rest in a health-resort “Radde” and a tourist camp “Eagle’s nest”. People say that a man who hasn’t visited Gunib has never been to Dagestan. An ancient sun-dial which mountaineers used 250 years ago is still kept in the village of Kegher near Gunib.
