Tarki-Tau, Mountain summit near Makhachkala, Russia.
Tarki-Tau is a mountain summit near Makhachkala that stretches across the landscape and reaches approximately 725 meters at its highest point. The mountain has a broad, elongated shape with multiple peaks and forested slopes that display different vegetation at various elevations.
A fortress was constructed on the mountain in the early 19th century as part of military efforts to control the region. Ruins of this structure remain visible on the slopes today, marking an important period in the mountain's past.
Three historic villages sit on the mountain's slopes, where people have lived for centuries following local traditions. These settlements shape how the mountain looks today and show how the area has been inhabited over time.
An observation point is accessible on the mountain's slopes through walking paths or by vehicle along the existing road. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and allow time for the climb, as the paths vary in steepness.
A military radar installation sits atop the mountain while the slopes support hundreds of plant species including uncommon maple, beech, and rowan varieties. This surprising mix of modern infrastructure and rich vegetation makes the location noteworthy for nature observation.
