Kemal-Egerek

Kemal-Egerek is a cone-shaped summit that widens from north to south, forming part of the Yalta mountain range. The peak rises to approximately 1530 meters and stands out as a distinct point in this mountain system.

Until the mid-20th century, the plateaus around the mountain served as summer pastures with ancient cattle paths connecting shelter sites to grazing lands. This reflects a long history of shepherding activities in the region.

The mountain's name comes from the Crimean Tatar language, merging a common male name with a word for sheep enclosures. This naming reflects the region's long-standing connection to herding practices.

Hikers can follow the marked route 70 to the summit, which runs along a ridge from the neighboring Mount Basman. The trail is officially registered and provides orientation for visitors planning the climb.

The mountain serves as a water divide between two rivers, with slopes covered in grassland and composed of marly limestone. This geological feature makes it a noteworthy point for nature observation.
