Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 5 hours
* A wellness route with fabulous panoramas of the Crimea, mountain streams and gorges. I will take you along two trails through the protected lands of the region: you will enjoy the views of the Yalta Bay, the endless mountain expanses, the grandeur of the highest waterfall in Eastern Europe — and most importantly, the kind of fresh air that urban residents can only dream of. • We will follow the route of the first Russian climatologists who came up with recreational hiking trails: your thoughts will be freed from the burden of daily problems, and your body will be cleansed of harmful substances that saturate the air of megacities. Our path passes through pine and juniper forests along the southern slopes of the main ridge of the Crimean mountains — along the Botkin and Shtangeevskaya trails. • You will see the highest waterfall in Eastern Europe, Uchan-Su, admire the view of Yalta from the Stavri-Kai cliff and from the numerous observation platforms of the route itself, and enjoy the freshness of the mountain gorges through which the waters of mountain rivers and streams run merrily. • Along the way, I will tell you the most interesting things about the history, geography and geology of Crimea. You will learn about how a wild, little-explored region became the center of the Russian Empire's climate treatment, and listen to legends and interesting facts about the places that will meet on our route. The hike is simple and accessible for children. Nevertheless, the climb is 400 meters and the distance is 9 km, so the absence of health problems is an important condition for participation.

Меня зовут Михаил. Я занимаюсь организацией экскурсий и пеших походов по горному Крыму. Являюсь аттестованным экскурсоводом. Это моя основная работа. Хорошо знаю горные маршруты и увлечен историей своего края. По образованию я экономист, однако, как это нередко бывает, увлечения начинают постепенно охватывать всю сферу жизни и становятся основным смыслом и миссией деятельности человека. Горы всегда привлекали меня своей красотой и умиротворением. Я хочу поделиться с вами своей любовью к Крыму и его неповторимой природе, культуре и истории.
