Ridge Echki-Dag
Echki-Dag is a small mountain range in the southeast of Crimea, between Koktebel and Kurortny. Despite the modest height, the mountains here are really spectacular: sharp rock teeth, deep gullies and cliffs that drop straight to the sea.
From the ridge, there are wide views of the Black Sea coast and neighboring Karadag. The trails along the ridge are easy, but with little water, so bring water here with a reserve - a good option for a one-day hike with views in all directions.
