Grand Canyon of Crimea, Gorge
Crimea, Sokolyne
6 km south of the village of Sokolinoye, along the highway or along the old Yusupov trail over the Kokkozy River. Tourists walk 3 km among sheer cliffs of marble-like limestone 320 m high. Under the action of flowing waters (crystal clear) in a grandiose fault that separated the Boyko massif from Ai-Petri, stones and pebbles drilled into the canyon bed about 150 boilers, gutters and baths, alternating with waterfalls and cascades. The most famous - the Bath of Youth (Kara-gol) has a temperature of 11-13 ° C all year round. After it, the canyon narrows in places to 3 m and ends with a heap of blocks in the form of large rounded lips, from which the Auzun-Uzen river (Rta stream) flows.

The flora of the canyon is rich in rare species, including the lady's slipper orchid, and simply mighty pines and beeches at a dizzying height. To the north of the canyon, on the Sary-Uzen River, there is a Silver Strings waterfall flowing over a moss-covered harp-shaped grotto. Above after a series of cascades is the Yusupov Pond. Nearby there are also caves and other interesting places.

We have been to the Grand Canyon twice - the first time with an organized tour and together with crowds of other thirsty natural beauties. Then it was August, the heat was unbearable, and it was a pleasure to swim in all sorts of baths and baths, despite the rather low temperature of the water. I liked the tour. The next time we were lucky enough to get into the canyon from the opposite side. Nobody! Only occasionally could the voices of invisible climbers be heard crawling along the walls of the canyon.
