Kush-Kaya

This is a 474-meter-high mountain near Novy Svet and Pike perch, also known as Sokil. The Crimean Tatar name Quş Qaya translates as bird rock.

Yes, the mountain is an ancient coral reef about 150 million years old, from the time of the Tethys Ocean. They say it is the largest such reef in Europe - not bad for an ordinary-looking rock.

In total: more than two dozen routes from the 1st to the 6th category of difficulty have been laid to the top. If ropes and iron scare you, the west and north sides can be tackled without equipment.

Near the foot of the mountain passes the only asphalted road connecting Novy Svit with Sudak. It is difficult to get lost - to turn to nowhere in particular.

Yes, depending on the lighting: in the sun it is white, and after rain it acquires purple shades. Free performance for those who are in no hurry.
