The city is an important railway junction (Belorechenskaya station) of the North Caucasus Railway on the Armavir—Tuapse line, with an electrified branch running up the Belaya River valley (via Maykop) to the settlement of Kamennomostsky. Hitchhikers often travel through Belorechensk along the A160 highway, heading to and from the mountains of Adygea.

Hitchhiking out
South towards Maykop via A160
- Bus No. 111 goes from the city center to the settlement of Vostochny. After it turns off the highway, there is a stop called "DNT Zheleznodorozhnik-1" — you can walk back to the highway and hitchhike opposite the turn (no guardrails or streetlights) or walk a bit further south to a cafe/eatery with a convenient pull-off and the entrance stela to Adygea.
North towards Ust-Labinsk and Korenovsk via A160
- Buses 108, 109, 115, 116, 122, 193, 549, 582, and 610 turn at the intersection with traffic lights 12 km from the city. Just after the turn there is a "request stop." The intersection has streetlights and a wide shoulder, surrounded by fields with little to distract drivers.
- Several streets in Belorechensk lead from the center directly onto the highway. Explore potential spots and improve this description!
Southwest towards Goryachy Klyuch and Apsheronsk
- Bus 107A goes to the stanitsa Pshekhskaya.
- Buses 102, 103, and 120 turn south at the same stanitsa (Pshekhskaya), on the right bank of the river.
- Minibus 159 goes to Apsheronsk.
East towards Kurganinsk and Armavir
- Bus 114A will take you to the turn for Stepnoy. According to 2020 photos, there are no streetlights or guardrails.
- Bus 114 goes to the stanitsa Giaginskaya—it's better to get off closer to Stepnoy for easier hitchhiking.
