The traditional bike ride on Mount Mashuk took place with the participation of teachers and students from the Institute of Foreign Languages and International Tourism at PSU!

The “Energy Route” bike ride took place along the familiar picturesque trails of Mashuk: from the legendary site of M.Y. Lermontov's duel to Proval.

This year, the column was joined by those who had not ridden a bike for a long time, as well as true cycling enthusiasts. Those participants who had not yet mastered cycling went on a walking tour along the same routes.

The “Energy Route” gave everyone the opportunity to improve their health, get an emotional “recharge,” and once again admire the beauty of Mashuk.
