Valley of the Katun river

Chuya Highway, Altay, Siberia and Far East

The valley of the great Altay river Katun looks very picturesque. Altayans call this river "The Hostess of Altay". From the Altay language "Katun" is translated as "Hostess". In some places, the current of the Katun River is so rapid that thresholds of a high complexity category are formed.
