Ancient granite dolmen ruins set in wooded foothills near Sochi — striking low-profile megaliths with carved entrances and lichen textures. Photograph details (stone faces, joints) and context (surrounding forest, ridgeline backdrops). Best at golden hour for warm side light; overcast helps reveal surface detail. Accessible by short hike from an unnamed road; parking limited at trailhead and paths can be uneven — wear sturdy shoes. Respect archaeological rules (avoid climbing or moving stones).
