Karabi yayla

Karabi yayla

Attraction 📍 Crimea

Karabi Yayla is the largest mountain plateau of the Crimean Mountains, a wide and almost treeless Yayla in the east of the massif. Its surface is a real museum of karst: countless watering holes, karol hollows and entrances to caves, which are counted here by the hundreds.

The plateau looks harsh and deserted, there are few landmarks, so it is easy to get lost in the fog - no wonder there is an old weather station in the middle of the plateau. Travelers come here for the feeling of space, caves and a starry sky, which is not disturbed by any city lights.
