The nature monument "Bienye rapids"

In the upper Volga is a fast and stony river. From Upper Volga lakes to Rzhev there are more than thirty rapids in it. The most famous Bensky Threshold is that near the village of Yelets, where for one kilometer the drop of water reaches three meters! The thresholds arose in the area of ​​the outlet to the surface of the lower carbonate limestone layers, which have increased strength due to marbling. Numerous whirlpools and breakers create a noise of water, which is heard at a great distance. The Bensky threshold is one of the most beautiful and famous monuments of nature in the Selizharovsky district. These thresholds - the main obstacle in the way of water tourists.
