Ullu-Khurzuk

A mountain river in Karachay-Cherkessia, in the upper reaches of the Kuban. It flows among the ridges of the Western Caucasus and bears the same name as the village of the same name in these regions.

Like most local watercourses, it is cold, fast and fed by meltwater from a height. The road along such rivers usually leads deep into the mountains, to their source.
