Mashuk, Summit in Pyatigorsk, Russia
Mount Mashuk stands 993 meters above sea level, forming a prominent peak near Pyatigorsk with a clear elevation difference of 398 meters from its base point.
The western slopes of Mount Mashuk mark the location where Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov engaged in his final duel with Nikolai Martynov in 1841.
The mountain contains numerous walking paths through Kurortny Park, established in 1823, connecting various mineral springs and architectural monuments of Pyatigorsk.
Visitors can reach the summit via a 45-minute hike on a tree-lined path or take the cable car that operates regularly from the base station.
The summit provides views extending to Mount Elbrus, with optimal visibility during early morning hours when the atmosphere allows clear observation of the distant peaks.
