Mountain Karst of Crimea, Protected geological reserve in Autonomous Republic of Crimea
The Mountain Karst of Crimea encompasses 4,316 hectares of limestone formations, featuring over 4,000 sinkholes and 209 caves across its territory.
Alexander Kruber conducted the first scientific documentation of the Mountain Karst of Crimea in 1915, leading to its designation as a nature reserve in 1989.
The reserve contains numerous geological formations that have influenced local traditions and scientific research methods throughout the Crimean Peninsula.
Visitors need special permits to access certain areas of the reserve, and guided tours provide information about the cave systems and geological features.
The Soldier Cave within the reserve holds the record as the deepest cave formation in Crimea, containing minerals such as calcite, gypsum, and aragonite.
