Psyrtskha is a stopping point of the Abkhazian railway in the city of New Athos in Abkhazia. There is a very picturesque path along the hydroelectric power station, it is very good that the platform is being restored — an exceptionally beautiful place, especially at dusk, in the evening lights. Nearby there is an ecotrope in the gorge leading to the cell of Simon Kananita, a fall at the hydroelectric power station, a railway road. We recommend a walk, there is definitely something to see here, admission is free (except for ecotropics, there is a ticket office at the entrance)

Now it is not a railway station, but a pleasant cafe soaked in the Soviet atmosphere, which is conveyed with breathtaking precision by professional restorers.
Thanks to the team assembled by entrepreneur Elana Jopua, guests of the city can enjoy the splendor of the architectural ensemble, delicious drinks and snacks to the sounds of charming 50s music playing from the speakers on the platform.

Visited in the evening and in the morning, the station is gorgeous at any time of the day👍
Psyrkha station (Psyrkha) is a now—inactive stopping point of the Abkhazian railway. In the Soviet years, it was here that tourists visiting New Athos got off, but today rare trains arise from the darkness of the tunnel, rush through and also disappear into the tunnel opposite.
Pscyrkha station is called not only the most beautiful, but also the most mystical of the abandoned stations in Abkhazia. It's all the fault of the symbol of the five—pointed star (a magical symbol of divine fire - the unity of spiritual and material).
