You can get to the meadow from the Bolshoy Talgar Pass (3200), to which the Medeo - Shymbulak cable car leads. The air here is filled with bird songs and smoke from fires. Krasnaya Polyana has equipped places for pitching tents, there are benches and places for making a fire and even a bathhouse next to which there is a small dam on a stream, in which you can swim if you want (the water in the stream is very cold, several degrees). Everyone collects water in this stream, this water is absolutely clean and you can drink it.

The glade is the place of the so-called mountain party, in the summer there is always someone living here, always someone from the vacationers plays the guitar in the evening.
