Oshten, Mountain summit at 2804 meters in Adygea, Russia
Oshten Mountain features five distinct peaks and contains limestone formations that give its slopes a characteristic light grey color throughout the range.
The mountain's name originates from the Adygean language, with local interpretations connecting it to the presence of permanent snow on its peaks.
The mountain holds a central position in regional folklore, particularly through stories of ancient battles that took place on its slopes.
The ascent from Yavorovaya Glade to the summit covers 8 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1114 meters along marked trails.
During winter, snow accumulation reaches 6 meters in depth, creating firn formations that transform into glaciers feeding multiple regional rivers.
