Grand Canyon Crimea is the beginning of the route. Grand Canyon National Park. Guide and useful information. What to see near the canyon

Greetings, friends!

Grand Canyon Crimea, photos of which decorate tourist sites, souvenirs and printed publications peninsula, is a very impressive attraction. A kind of aesthetic picturesque crevice with ice water - a crack on the body Crimean mountains.

And to the tourists who exclaim "Are you seriously! A collapsed waterfall, underwater caves and holy springs - what’s going on there in Crimea?!” I answer - you just start your journey along the Crimean trails, and already six months before your vacation you will start packing your backpack and waiting to meet them!

If anyone is interested, join us and let's go!

According to the time scale, the Grand Crimean Canyon is still young. It is only about 2 million years old.

After the formation of rocks, which was preceded by a long period of struggle between the ocean and land, complete immersion under water, geological and other natural processes, and rise above the sea depths, a tectonic fault occurred in this part of the peninsula.

After which, the waters of the mountain river and time worked to create the image of the Great Crimean Canyon, creating a unique nature reserve with a unique microclimate, flora and fauna.

Short story

The first explorer of the amazing crevice, who gave official name The “Grand Canyon” became professor I.I. Puzanov in 1925, to whom local peasants argued that this place was not good, at night you could hear strange noises, nothing less than “the devils celebrate their weddings...”.

But botanists, local historians, geographers and other interested societies studied the canyon even before the revolution, they say so topographic maps of that time, with the coordinates of the gorge marked.

Since the 1930s, the canyon has been part of tourist routes, and in 1947 received the status of a natural monument.

Since 1974 Grand Canyon is a nature reserve and is under the protection and supervision of forestry employees.

What makes the canyon unique: description

The Grand Canyon stretches for 3500 m. Twisting and winding, its path runs between the Ai-Petri massif and Mount Boyka at a depth of 320 meters. The width of the gorge in some places is only 2 to 3.5 m.

Over many centuries, the crevice has established its own microclimate. It is always cool and humid here, thanks not only to the high “walls”, but also to the plants growing on the slopes and in the gorge itself and to the reservoirs located at the bottom.

Here you will meet rich collection Crimean trees - pine, oak, linden, hornbeam, beech, ash, maple, rowan, yew and many others. In addition, unique shrubs and flowers “live” in the canyon, such as rare species ferns and orchids.

In addition to the familiar inhabitants of the Crimean fauna - hedgehogs, lizards, rodents, Here you can find roe deer and badgers, and brook trout splash in the cold and clear water!

Where is the Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is located in the Bakhchisaray district, 5 km from the village of Sokolinoe.

Our natural landmark perfectly complements the landscape main ridge Crimean mountains. And to be more precise, it is the property of the northeastern part of the Ai-Petri massif.

What awaits us on the way

Tourist routes have long been laid along the Grand Canyon. Where necessary, bridges or handrails are installed, steps are designed and paths are laid out, signs, information boards and warning signs are placed.

But, despite this, the path will still not be easy, and in the rainy season it will be completely dangerous, since the rivers are filled with water and even huge and heavy boulders are carried away by the rapid flow, and stone avalanches can fall from the slopes of the canyon.

It’s good to go with a guide for the first time, get to know the route, and don’t miss it important points and hear a detailed and fascinating story.

To understand what the Grand Canyon of Crimea is, you don’t have to walk along its bottom. There are also a calmer and safer excursion - on the right slope. In this case, you will admire the surrounding beauty from observation platforms and continue your journey along comfortable and wide paths.

Great excursion under the majestic walls of the Crimean gorge

So, you've decided that you need to explore the canyon floor. What surprises and amazing moments will come your way, what to see and where to visit without fail.

Start of the excursion

The path through the beech forest will lead you to the first and famous attraction - the Postal Oak, or rather what remains of it.

Unfortunately, the century-old oak tree, which became a place for secret correspondence between the partisans (the notes were hidden in the hollow), burned down for an unknown reason. But the scorched driftwood that remained from it still serves as a warehouse for letters, now for tourists.

You can also drop a few lines with wishes or parting words for the travelers following you.

Waterfalls, ice baths and... bungee jumping

Please note the one you need hiking trail will be accompanied by markers on the trees so you don't get lost.

Slightly higher is Silver Streams waterfall. Wooden paths lead to it, there is an observation deck and a tourist parking lot (a clearing with benches).

Not so long ago, this waterfall was beautiful and gentle against the backdrop of gray giant stones and emerald foliage. But a few years ago, due to severe frosts, the “cap” collapsed, and now it has changed somewhat.

Along the way on the cliffs (if you get here during the season) surprises await you - attractions. What would it be like in Crimea without them - pay money!

Rush from one ridge to another at an altitude of 70 m at a speed of 10 m/s - please! You will be put on a bungee or, as they say now, a zipline.
Walk 100 m along a staggering and absolutely “alive” suspension bridge- no problem! You will be fastened to a cable and pushed in the back.
If you dream of feeling like a cool climber - dreams come true! You will be given equipment and launched down the slope on a rope!

If you haven’t gained enough impressions yet, let’s move on.

Holy spring, bath of youth and search for apples

On the log bridge across the Apple Ford, all travelers look up, trying to find miracle apples in the varied foliage. But there are no apples above the ford of the same name. Fruit trees grow up the river, and the stream brings fruits and leaves to this place. You will only be able to see wild apples in the water in the fall.

After the Apple Ford, the trail will lead you to the holy spring of Pania (Panagia). This is a fairly deep and turbulent spring on the site of an ancient chapel.

And finally, the final point on the map of the Grand Canyon will be. A deep pit with icy water and a waterfall at the base attracts the bulk of tourists.

After all, you guess that this icy natural reservoir is called the “Bath of Youth” for a reason?

If there are no contraindications, feel free to take the plunge! Where else will you have the opportunity to experience the powers of a life-giving mountain spring?

What's next?

At this point, the Grand Canyon does not end with a blank wall or abyss, but beyond that the route becomes very difficult and unsafe.

AND ordinary tourists It is better not to go there without preparation or an experienced guide. The main route will take you from 2 to 4 hours, depending on what walking pace you choose.

Impressions and reviews from visitors

Surely lovers of a sofa-beach holiday are unlikely to dare such a forced march through a rocky and river gorge on their only week-long vacation.

But the connoisseurs hiking and Crimean natural beauties are happy to share their emotions regarding the tour of the Grand Canyon. Here's what they say:

amazing place, clean air and breathtaking landscapes;
good exercise stress, new sensations, strong natural energy;
the best photographs, excellent health and a desire to come back again.

The list of reviews goes on, but there are also negative aspects. They are associated with some difficulties encountered along the way.

Firstly, it takes a long time to get there on your own.
Secondly, after rains, rockfall is possible.
Thirdly, along the entire route there will be no infrastructure, for example, the same benches with snacks or water.

How to get there

Sports tourists can go to the Yusupov trail in the area of the village of Sokolinoe and walk 5 km to the canyon along the slope of the Boyka mountain range.

Crimean peninsula – at these words, many travelers’ hearts begin to beat quickly. And the reason for this is the many natural and man-made beauties with which the area is generous and rich.

Mountain peaks interspersed with flat plateaus, cave cities monasteries, but everything pales before the majestic canyon! The Grand Canyon in Crimea (GBK) is truly a sight that needs to be seen at least once in a lifetime. And don’t think that this is a small crevice exaggerated by impressionable tourists - this is a place of power, incredible emotions, beauty and joy.

Where is the Grand Canyon in Crimea?

Between mountain range Boyka and the Ai-Petrinsky Highlands, on the south-eastern side of the village of Sokolinoe and the most beautiful Grand Canyon of Crimea lies. The natural attraction is the deepest on the peninsula and reaches 320 meters, while the narrowest part is only 2 meters, and the length of the chasm is 3.5 km. The Great Crimean Canyon is rich in water flows, there are countless streams, and the Azu-Uzen River runs along the bottom - incessant and stormy, originating from the very upper reaches and “accompanying” travelers along the entire route.

Grand Canyon routes

Travelers are always offered a route starting from the “Three Gudgeons” cafe - it is believed that even a novice tourist will walk the path from here to the “Bath of Youth”. The entrance fee is still charged (about 100 rubles each), but you can go in for free if the collectors have already earned money and left. So, from the foresters’ post, next to the cafe, the trail leads to Sary-Uzen.

The river fills only during heavy rains, so in summer you can literally cross it “without getting your feet wet.” The stone boulders are smooth and safe; you only need good shoes to make walking easy and comfortable. Following the first there will be a second crossing - this is the Kokozka River, which is formed at the confluence of a couple of other rivers. It’s not difficult to cross Kokozka, at the same time admire the local beauty, bushes and go to a well-marked path leading up.

There, where oak and hornbeam forests spread freely. For “wild” travelers there is the opportunity to turn along the river and move along with the riverbed, but this path is a little more difficult.

And along the path, which is well trampled by hundreds of tourists’ feet, it is easy, free and simple to walk. Having risen, travelers will find themselves at a crossroads: the roads are divided, it’s up to you to choose, but if you go to the left, you will definitely come out to the village of Sokolinoe, and to the right there will be the Great Crimean Canyon - we’ll go there. From the fork the road becomes more difficult, so count on your strength.

A little forward and you can already see the landmark itself, you can hear the sound of water and you can photograph a huge gorge with steep slopes covered with trees and bushes. On the left, the Sentinel cliff rises; it is the first to meet all travelers and escort them to the Second, Third and Fourth (Cave) cliffs. But this is all on the left “side”, on the right the Pine Cliff freely stretches out, hiding behind it the Almanchuk tract with the playful Yabloneva (Almanchuk) river. The name of the Almanchuk tract comes from a grove of wild apple trees that grow here to this day. After walking a little, you can stand on observation deck and enjoy the stunning panoramic views to your heart's content.

And now further! The water can no longer just be heard, but also seen - soon the entire expanse of the Blue Lake, so named because of the bluish reflection of the water playing in the rays of the sun, will open. In general, this is not a lake, but just a backwater, but if it’s the Big Canyon, then let everything be called “large”. The path through the Apple Ford to the confluence with Kokozka is fast, and there is already a floodplain with dogwood bushes, hazel, wild apple trees - a little further the riverbed will lead to the Ai-Petri plateau, but it is better to first have a good rest in a small grotto under an overhanging stone. This is where all the tourists who do not violate the travel rules stop. Rest will be required, as the trail becomes more difficult and narrower, there are steep descents, ascents and zigzag turns.

If the trip takes place in the summer heat, you can walk along the river bed; the stones are covered with a thick soft layer of moss, which bounces pleasantly under your feet. Well, in spring or autumn the stream is always full, so you have to follow the path. When going on a hike along the Crimean canyon, grab a fishing rod - a little further on the river becomes full-flowing and brook trout frolic in it excellently. It’s not difficult to agree with the foresters to catch a couple of pieces, and you will be pleased to bake your catch, of course, with the permission of the guide. If you don't take an umbrella to protect yourself from the heat, pick a huge butterbur leaf - there are plenty of them here. The protection is short-lived, but replaceable, and provides ideal protection from the sun.

The short path to the ford with the river turning around the rock will fly by quickly, but further, a little to the right, a real miracle awaits - the Pania spring. The abundance of the spring is amazing, as is always the cold water in it. Get your cameras ready, we are about to photograph the most beautiful places in the kingdom of stone pits and baths, including the famous Bath of Youth. This is where the usual route to the Grand Canyon of Crimea ends.

But there are many others. For example, go further, because all the most interesting things open up just behind these cliffs. The path will be difficult, not every traveler will be able to pass. But if you have endurance and endurance, then go ahead! There, where the steep walls almost close together, muffling the sunlight and settling gloom and twilight in the gorge.

It is quiet here, there is no sound of water, only pebbles rustle, gradually crumbling under the careless steps of travelers, and somewhere above there is the rustling of invisible trees. Already now the dry bottom is lined with limestone pebbles; you often come across ledges many meters high and rubble rolled in by stones. Sometimes you need to cross them, this is where minimal climbing skills and helping each other are required. There are rare paths that go around the rubble, but you will have to jump a lot. By the way, you shouldn’t be in a particular hurry, condensation settling on the stones is dangerous for fast movements - you can slip and fall.

Rockfalls also pose a danger to travel - at the bottom there are often huge pieces of limestone rock, crushed by the fall. To date, no one has been hurt, but caution is in order. In addition, traces of destruction from water jets are visible everywhere on the walls: grottoes, niches, ledges. Because of this, the Great Crimean Canyon cannot boast of evenness of plumb lines, but all the depressions are convenient for travelers, you can lean on them, and it is also interesting to view the temporary layers of the “pie” of plumb lines.

In general, there are enough interesting things along the way to last a lifetime of memories; the harsh beauty of the canyon is amazing; the new kind, panorama and it seems that you have found yourself in some other world, have broken away from reality and now there will be an entrance to the kingdom of the gnomes. But the two-kilometer difficult path ends, the walls move apart, become lower, and soon a magnificent basin with a waterless bed of the Kuru-Uzen (Dry River) and incredibly beautiful clearings lined with soft grass opens before your eyes.

Now all that remains is to go to inspect Cape Trapis, go down to the Yohagan-Su valley with its springs and carefully look down from the huge Fifth Cape! The spectacle is definitely not for the faint of heart - a view of the entire gorge from a great height leaves in the memory such a storm of emotions that it is impossible to cope with them right away. Then a calm walk along the path, at first gentle, and then steeply running down, and finally, again the murmur of water, the trunks of centuries-old beeches and the Dzhevizlyk spring, where you can rest before leaving the canyon.

There are plenty of routes along the Great Crimean Canyon, they vary in length and complexity. And there is always the opportunity to choose a lighter version, for example, to go on an adventure with the kids.

Map of the Crimean Canyon

When looking at the map, you should pay attention to a large number of rivers, springs and other sources. Formed as a result of a fault earth's crust, The Grand Canyon of Crimea is indicated on the map as a deep chasm with a length of 3.5 km. The difficulties of crossing the gorge force agencies to offer routes along the upper edge, but if you wish, it is worth considering the map and taking the risk of making own routes. Moreover, there are plenty of turns that allow you to shorten the path and go back to the merge and exit to the cafe.

However, if tourists are not afraid of difficulties, it will open for them new world– these places are accessible to not many travelers and have preserved the almost pristine freshness of natural beauty. It is impossible to see all the beauty of the gorge from above, ledges and dense vegetation interfere, but from below the view enchants and does not let go, the secluded corners of the Great Crimean Canyon are so beautiful.

The tectonic fault has a lot of attractions, both encountered along the way and requiring separate inspection.

Waterfall Silver Streams

The waterfall is only 4.5 kilometers south from the village of Sokolinoe, it’s an hour’s journey, but the time spent on the road will more than pay off! The luxurious waterfall is located at the entrance to the Small Canyon and is the “creation” of the Sary-Uzen River. But, contrary to the name (Yellow River), the waterfall is Silver, not yellow, and delights travelers with its sweet-sounding tints.

Visually, the entire flow of water resembles strings with which the wind “plays”. In winter, the streams freeze and the waterfall turns into “Crystal” - the icicles hang in the most bizarre way, forming an intricate pattern and slowly ringing with the blowing wind. The shape itself is very unusual: countless streams of water burst out from under the cap of moss, and behind the stream a black entrance to the grotto opens. Add to this a hornbeam forest interspersed with beech, rowan, centuries-old oaks and a complete feeling is created fabulous place, which is what this waterfall is!

Bath of youth

The Grand Canyon of Crimea gives youth not only to the soul, but also to the body. The famous Bath of Youth is believed to restore the joy of life even to people of the older generation. It is this legend that attracts many travelers to swim in the font, wanting to plunge into the water, the temperature of which rarely exceeds 9-10 degrees. Thought-provoking pleasure. The depth of the bath is 5 meters, so you can even dive, but few people dare to undertake such an undertaking, but you can always try!

Post oak

The Post Oak is another attraction that the Grand Crimean Canyon offers. Once upon a time, partisans used the opportunity to put a letter in a hollow oak tree for delivery. And for a long time the tree delighted travelers with beautiful letters, where people wrote about their dreams and achievements and shared joyful emotions. In fact, writing a letter and leaving it at the Postal Oak was the same as sending a message to Santa Claus. But in 1982 the tree was burned, and today only the skeleton of a mighty oak tree remains at the fork.

But this should not upset travelers; the Grand Canyon of Crimea is replete with wonders and remarkable places:

1. Blue Lake– this is the place where love confessions acquire indestructible power;

2. On Yablonev Ford, look who will give you a hand - this often turns out to be the very person you have been waiting for all your life;

3. Source Pania always fulfills your deepest desires.

As you can see, here in the canyon nature takes on the fulfillment of your most secret dreams, and therefore you should prepare thoroughly for the excursion.

Great discovery of the Grand Canyon of Crimea

Until the 20s of the last century, this gigantic chasm was known only to scientists, and there was not a word about it in guidebooks to Crimea. He told the world about this unique canyon in his books, and, in fact, Professor Puzanov gave it its name. But the Grand Canyon of Crimea brought real popularity documentary, filmed about him in 1925 and today, alas, lost.

After the film was released, the Grand Canyon of Crimea, a hitherto unknown route, became a place of pilgrimage for tourists.

Its length is 3.5 km, the height of the walls is 320 m. Usually the canyon passes upstream. The most popular section is from the Postal Oak to the Bath of Youth, which is located approximately in the center of the gorge. What goes beyond its borders usually eludes the gaze of organized tourists.

The inaccessible Grand Canyon of Crimea, the Bath of Youth, seems to cut off inexperienced tourists. This section of the route almost always runs along the dry bottom of the gorge. It takes 3-4 hours for trained hikers to cover its 2 km section in summer. This low speed is explained big amount obstacles that you mainly have to climb around.

During spring floods and after heavy rains, this section is practically impossible to cross.

Grand Canyon of Crimea: “Great Around the World” route

The circular route, when travelers walk along the bed of the Grand Canyon of Crimea upstream of the Auzun-Uzen River, and then return along the upper path, admiring the gorge from numerous capes, is called the “Great Around the World”.

It starts from the Yew Cascade, which is located a little lower downstream than the “classic trail” that starts from the Post Oak (or rather, the remains of a tree where tourists leave notes).

Along this route there are many interesting objects that are definitely worth paying attention to.

Yew cascade. A waterfall under old yew trees that flows towards huge stones overgrown with moss and entwined with plants. If you walk from it along the right bank, then on the way you will encounter a narrow gap between huge boulders. An old tourist tale says that unfaithful spouses get stuck in it.

Blue Lake. It represents an expansion of the channel. Its water is emerald green, but only in early spring. In summer there are many swimmers here, so it becomes cloudy and greenish.

Apple Ford (at the descent of the path leading from the Postal Oak). This is the name of the place opposite the mouth of the first left tributary of the Auzun-Uzen River - Almachuka (translated from Tatar as Yablochny). In autumn, it carries many wild apples into the main channel, which fall into its waters from apple trees growing upstream. This is where the fruits accumulate, which is what gave the place its name.

Source Pania (from “Panagia” - “All-Holy”). It was one of the holy springs that were worshiped here back in the Middle Ages. Today it is one of the TOP 20 Crimean springs, spewing out 370 liters of water every second.

Bath of youth. This is one of the erosive cauldrons, “drilled” into the bottom of the canyon by stones rotated by the spring stormy flow. Decorating the Grand Canyon of Crimea, the Bath of Youth or Kara-Gol attracts hordes of tourists who take its name too literally. But it appeared quite recently - in the 60s. People jumped out of this black lake and plunged into it too quickly, because the water temperature here, even in the hottest heat, is about + 9 degrees.

The depth of this “trough”, as the baths were simply called Crimean Tatars, no more than 5 meters. It is fed by an ever-living spring located 150 m upstream.

Yohagan-su tributary (missing water), right, joins upstream. In summer it dries up, revealing a steep slope with a suite of smooth-walled baths. It is loved by canyoning fans who climb up it to get to the right wall of the canyon.

If immediately after the Bath of Youth the Grand Canyon of Crimea is still full of water, then, literally, after a few hundred meters, its bed completely dries up. Nature has prepared natural barriers for travelers here in the form of piles of huge boulders and smooth-walled baths, narrow corridors where you can barely stand with your arms outstretched.

There are only four such narrowings. The largest corridor is the first, 200 m long, the smallest is the last. But even between them the channel does not expand to more than 6 m.

Having conquered the extreme Grand Canyon of Crimea, the route can be laid in two directions - or continue it by returning to starting point along the upper paths, or go to Ai-Petri.

Grand Canyon of Crimea: how to get to observation points

Capes, from which you can view the Grand Canyon of Crimea from above, are located on both sides. They are numbered, designated by numbers, although there are also “nominal” ones.

Getting to them is not difficult - numerous paths lead to them, they are marked on the map.

A particularly impressive view opens from the Sentinel Cape, also known as the First, which literally reigns over the canyon.

An excellent vantage point is the Fourth Cape, next to which the Cow Grotto (Taur-Koba) appears black. According to the stories of tourists who had to stop here for the night, the wind produces absolutely incredible sounds from the grotto, turning it into an Aeolian harp; all the rustles here are amplified many times over. It received the name “cow” because shepherds hid their cattle here in bad weather.

A breathtaking panorama also opens from Cape Trapis (from the Greek “trapezus” - table), but only in spring and autumn, because in summer it is covered by green thickets.

A hike through the Grand Canyon of Crimea in the summer will take just one day and will be a wonderful family adventure. And those who are ready for more severe challenges can try to overcome the canyon in the off-season or become a pioneer of their own climbing route.

The crevice is located next to the Bakhchisarai-Yalta highway. Therefore, the answer to the question: “The Grand Canyon of Crimea, how to get there on your own?” uncomplicated. Between these settlements There are many buses and minibuses.

Regular buses run from Bakhchisarai to the village. Sokolinoe, from there to the entrance to the Grand Canyon 5 km towards Yalta. It’s impossible to pass by – there’s a landmark parking lot and an abundance of excursion buses.
