Lysaya, mountain in Primorsky Krai, Russia
Lysaya is a mountain of the Sikhote-Alin system on the border of Partizansky and Lazovsky districts in Primorsky Krai, Russia. Its rocky summit reaches 1,560.7 m, and its relative height exceeds 1,200 m, the greatest in the krai. The Yelomovsky spring, a tributary of the Kievka, rises on its slopes.
The mountain is part of the larger Sikhote-Alin range, which has long been home to wild animals such as leopards, deer, and bears. The region was historically sparsely populated, with explorers and naturalists coming here to study the unique plants and animals of the mountain environment.
The name Lysaya, 'bald', matches another summit northeast of here that lies inside the Zov Tigra nature park, so maps can confuse the two. The mountain sits on the border between Partizansky and Lazovsky districts. Its Yelomovsky spring feeds the Kievka, and a 23-metre waterfall of the Benevo cascade stands 7 km from Benevo village.
This mountain is best visited during warmer months when the weather is milder and trails are passable. Bring water, warm clothing, and a map, and be prepared for uneven terrain that requires careful footing.
