Beshtau, Mountain summit near Pyatigorsk, Russia.
Mount Beshtau features five distinct domed peaks rising to 1,401 meters, with slopes covered in deciduous forests and a treeless summit area.
The mountain's name comes from Turkic language elements meaning 'five mountains', which later influenced the naming of the Pyatigorye historical region.
The Second Athos Monastery of the Dormition stands at the base of Mount Beshtau, connecting the natural landmark to religious heritage.
A network of hiking trails circles the mountain for 8.9 miles with an elevation gain of 908 feet, suitable for intermediate level hikers.
Between 1950 and 1988, Mount Beshtau contained uranium mines operated by the Soviet nuclear industry through Mine Administration Number 10.
