Jag tror att du vet att det är inte säkert eftersom du var tvungen att fråga den här frågan ...
Din regering (Tyskland tror jag?) kan ge dig ett uttryckligt svar. Kontrollera alltid dina nationella reseanvisningar!
Den tyska regeringen anger på sin hemsida specifikt stater :
Traveling to the North Caucasus Federal District and adjacent regions is an indication of the increased security risk. In particular, not necessarily required trips to Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan is strongly discouraged. In the above mentioned regions there is a higher security risk due to attacks, armed conflicts and kidnapping cases than in other Russian parts of the country. Persons who travel to the above-mentioned regions despite the high risks can expect only limited assistance from the German Embassy in Moscow in the event of an emergency. Short-term restrictions on the right of travel for foreigners can not be ruled out.
Border traffic with Georgia and Azerbaijan The Dariali / Hoher Lars border crossing on the A 301 ("Georgian Military Route"), which connects North Ossetia (Russia) with Georgia, as well as the border crossing between Samur on the border between Dagestan (Russia) and Azerbaijan are now back for the international Travel opened. However, capacity-related difficulties in crossing the border can not be ruled out. An entry via the Georgian-Russian border into the Georgian conflict areas Abkhazia and South Ossetia will continue to be punished by the Georgian authorities as an illegal border crossing.
Regarding the security situation in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, the travel and security information of the Foreign Office for Georgia has to be observed.
Så, vad de försöker berätta för dig är, Gå inte dit om det inte är nödvändigt . Det är upp till dig att bestämma vad som är väsentligt och om det är värt risken. Tänk på att det tyska konsulatet i Moskva är väldigt långt borta när du sitter i en Dagestan-fängelse eller hålls för lösen. Bara ge det tanke.
När det gäller Georgien (och Sydossetien du frågade om), som det hänvisas till av den ryska delen ovan, har den tyska regeringen också specifikt stater :
Entry by land is possible via Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia. Foreigners wishing to enter Russia from Georgia must use the Dariali / Hoher Lars border crossing on the M3, the so-called "Georgian Army Route". Capacity-related difficulties at border crossing and resulting waiting times can not be excluded. Above all, however, the security situation in the North Caucasus should be taken into account: Travel to Ingushetia, Chechnya, Dagestan, North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria is strongly discouraged (see Travel and Security Policy Russian Federation ).
South Ossetia and Abkhazia Travel to Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the immediate vicinity of the conflict region are strongly discouraged. Consular protection can not currently be granted to German nationals for lack of access. Even the feasibility of a rescue flight to these areas is not ensured in an emergency.
Entry into Georgia - defected areas of Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Russia continues to be prosecuted by Georgian authorities as illegal border crossing, South Ossetia is closed to international travel, the administrative border with South Ossetia is restricted area, since the 2008 war there is an increased danger from mines and unexploded ammunition.
Due to the unpredictable security situation near the administrative borders, it is strongly recommended that the area be avoided or that Georgian authorities obtain prior approval. Abkhazia and South Ossetia are not under the control of the Georgian government. Russian troops are stationed in the areas and at their administrative borders. The situation in the conflict regions is currently stable, but it can change at any time. Therefore, inform yourself about the local media.
The Georgian "Occupied Territories Act" prohibits travel, economic activity, land acquisition or real estate, as well as other activities in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, with few exceptions. Infringements can result in fines or imprisonment of up to five years.
Also on later trips to Georgia threatens the refusal of entry, it should emerge from the pass that previously an illegal entry into Abkhazia or South Ossetia / Georgia has taken place. Therefore, it is strongly advised to be informed about the relevant regulations in a timely manner, and to obtain the necessary approval from the Georgian government. The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of State for Reconciliation and Civil Equality provide information and permission to enter the country .
Jag besökte nyligen Krasnodar, Sochi, Maykop, Stavropol och Tbilisi / Stepstanminda Georgia, vilket inte är så fruktansvärt långt ifrån dessa områden du frågar om. Min ryska fiancee arbetar för ett av de stora oljebolagen i Ryssland och skickar henne ofta till Krasnodar-regionen för arbete, och det är inte helt säkert för henne. De måste vara borta från gatorna i solnedgången och hon måste täcka hennes blonda hår för att undvika problem. Jag reste genom Georgien här i januari, i snön, och många lastbilar var kantade upp, oförmögna att röra sig. Tänk på att vädret kan påverka alla resor till norra Kaukasus bergen.
Jag vet också att mitt land (USA) specifikt säger att någon resa är förbjuden för Dagestan. USA: s statsavdelning skisserar det här :
North Caucasus (including Chechnya and Mount Elbrus)
Civil unrest and terrorist attacks continue throughout the North Caucasus region including in Chechnya, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Dagestan, Stavropol, Karachayevo-Cherkessiya, and Kabardino-Balkariya. Local gangs have kidnapped U.S. citizens and other foreigners for ransom. There have been credible reports of arrest, torture, and extrajudicial killing of gay men in Chechnya allegedly conducted by Chechen regional authorities.
Do not attempt to climb Mount Elbrus, as travelers must pass close to volatile and insecure areas of the North Caucasus region.
The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens traveling in the North Caucasus region, including Mount Elbrus, as U.S. government employees are prohibited from traveling to the region.
