Krasnaya Polyana 1
Krasnaya Polyana 1 submitted by Ogneslav : Krasnaya Polyana 1, the 1st dolmen. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Krasnaya Polyana 1 dolmen is located in the Russian Caucasus mountains near Krasnaya Polyana. Adjacent to this dolmen are two other others - Krasnaya Polyana 6 and Krasnaya Polyana 7 and although they are destroyed their remains are clearly visible nearby. See the separate pages for these and also for several other nearby dolmens.

Actually this site and the other six (Krasnaya Polyana 1-7) are quite easy to find. To get there one better start walking from the end of Achishkhovskaya street - where the asphalt road has ended turn to the left to a gravel road and then take the first turn to the right. Follow this road until it enters a forest where one will see a footpath going to the dolmens marked by the blue marks on the trees.

The site is mentioned in Nikita V. Kondryakov's book "Tainy sochinskikh dolmenov" (The secrets of the dolmens in Sochi region), ISBN 978-5-9703-0219-4 as Krasnaya Polyana III dolmen group.

Coordinates point to the first, intact dolmen.

Quoting J.P.Mohen, The World of Megaliths, 1989, p.46-47, ill. :
"This group of megalithic monuments in the Northern Caucasus is characterized by rectangular chambers with port-holes slabs ; a stone-plus was sometimes used to block the opening.
And :
The megalithic tombs of the Caucasus do not appear to have been used for mass burials. They do contain characteristic princely offerings, however. (...).
