Features of the route "Above the Sea"
Contents
Don’t forget that the “Over the Sea” route, although not categorized, nevertheless remains one of the most difficult in our collection. This is not a walk, it's a hike. And in this campaign we have to overcome the following difficulties:
Long transitions
The route runs along the crest of the main ridge of the Crimean Mountains. We are going to the top. And there is little water on the peaks. The springs here are quite far from each other. As a result, day trips on this route are longer than in our other Crimean hikes (on average 16 km instead of 11).Crimean sun.
There is not only little water on the plateau, but also little shade. Most of the way we will be walking in open space. In the summer, this means encountering an incredible amount of solar energy. Headwear (hat, Panama hat, baseball cap) is required. Sunscreen (with a protective factor of at least 20) and light, loose clothing with long sleeves are advisable.Sometimes, when the heat becomes unbearable, we practice night treks. During the day we sleep somewhere in the shade, and in the evening we go out on the route and walk by the light of flashlights. The path there is wide and well-trodden (a real road) and such a crossing is absolutely safe.
