Hurzufske sidlo
Hurzuf Pass is a mountain pass in the Crimean Mountains at an altitude of 1,348 meters, between Babugan Yaila and Gurzufskaya Yaila. One of the highest passes of the Crimea, through which people were once transported by wheels, and not only by foot.
A dirt forest road passes through the saddle: to the south it leads to the village of Partizanske and the South Bank Highway, to the north - to Romanovsky. Don't expect asphalt, dust will be enough.
The place is not only passable, but also ancient: in 1981, an ancient sanctuary was found here, that is, people climbed here long before us. The Artekivska trail to Roman-Kosh, the highest point of Crimea, begins nearby, and geologists believe that it was from here that the Adalara rocks and the Red stone once broke.
