Mount Kosh-Kaya, Mountain summit near Simeiz, Crimea.
Mount Kosh-Kaya rises to 254 meters above sea level, featuring a distinctive silhouette that resembles a lying cat against the Crimean Mountains landscape.
The Simeiz Observatory, established on the southern slope of Mount Kosh-Kaya at 360 meters elevation, has contributed to astronomical research in the region.
