At-Bash
At-Bash is a mountain on the Ai-Petryna mountain range with a height of 1196 meters, approximately 6 km west of Ai-Petri and 2 km north of the village of Lymena (Blue Bay). The summit has the shape of an asymmetric pyramid: the northern slope is gentle, and the southern one is cut off by rocks.
The name is from the Crimean Tatar language - "at" horse, "bash" head: the fault is a small rock on the southern ridge, which reminded someone of a horse's head. Due to the contrast of the slopes, the mountain is bypassed wisely - from the north it is easy to climb a gentle slope, and from the south you meet steep rocks.
It is convenient to tie At-Bash to the routes on Ai-Petri: from there you can reach it by hand.
