Belorechensky district
The Belorechensky district is a region in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, situated in the foothills of the North Caucasus. Historically, its development was significantly shaped by the construction of a fortress in the 19th century as part of the Russian Empire’s expansion, which later grew into the city of Belorechensk. Today, the area is known for its agriculture, natural landscapes, and proximity to the Belaya River.
