Kamennomostsky (Russian: Каменномо́стский; Adyghe: Каменномост; lit. stone bridge), also informally called Khadzhokh (Хаджо́х), is a rural locality (a settlement) in Maykopsky District of the Republic of Adygea, Russia, located on the Belaya River 40 kilometers (25 mi) south of Maykop. Population: 7,213 (2010 Census);[1] 7,580 (2002 Census);[2] 8,292 (1989 Census).[3]

An Adyghe aul, famous for its prolonged resistance against Russian rule in the Caucasian War of 1817–1864, was located on the territory of this settlement. In 1862, a Cossack outpost was built in place of the ravaged aul, which later grew into the stanitsa of Kamennomostskaya (Каменномостская). The stanitsa was granted urban-type settlement status in 1948 but was demoted to rural locality on March 10, 2011.[4]

Khadzhokh canyon (Хаджохская теснина), which is 45 meters (148 ft) deep but only 3 meters (9.8 ft) wide is located on the Belaya River near the settlement. The modern name of the settlement is after a collapsed rock that forms a natural bridge across the canyon.
