Kapustino Mountain Dolmens
The dolmens of Mount Kapustino are hidden in the forests of the Krasnodar region and attract only those who know their location. Overgrown with moss, these megaliths preserve traces of precise stonework and carved joints. Their purpose is still debated, ranging from burial sites to ritual or astronomical structures. Despite the mystery, they continue to captivate both researchers and travelers.
Covered with moss and forgotten in the quiet forest, the dolmens of Mount Kapustino are visited only by those travelers who know where to search. Surrounded by dense woodland in the Krasnodar region, these ancient megaliths remain some of the most enigmatic monuments of the Caucasus.
The surviving slabs reveal striking details: the precision of their joints and the carved grooves in massive stones demonstrate the remarkable skills of the builders. Such craftsmanship has long raised questions among researchers about the methods and knowledge used to create these structures.
Their purpose, however, remains a mystery. According to one interpretation, the dolmens served as burial or ritual sites connected to the veneration of ancestors. Some researchers suggest they may have had astronomical or symbolic functions. Local legends speak of their spiritual power and hidden energy. What unites all these views is the simple fact: we still do not know for sure.
Unfortunately, the lack of preservation and recognition by state authorities has led to gradual damage. Without proper care, these unique monuments risk being lost. Yet the atmosphere of Mount Kapustino’s dolmens — their silence, their moss-covered stones, their presence in the forest — continues to inspire awe and curiosity in those who visit.
