Kiselyov Cliff, Natural monument and cliff in Tuapsinsky District, Russia.
Kiselyov Cliff is a 40-meter (131-foot) high natural monument along the Black Sea coast in Tuapsinsky District, Russia. Its walls display vertically tilted rock layers rising directly from the water, forming a sharp rock face.
The Russian government declared the formation a protected natural monument on March 26, 1980, recognizing its geological significance. This recognition came after decades of informal local appreciation of the site as a landmark along the coast.
The rock formation bears the name of Russian landscape painter Alexander Kiselev, who worked along this coast in the 19th century. Today, visitors come here to experience the same views that once inspired his paintings.
Marked trails from nearby Tuapse lead to the viewing point, with access varying depending on weather and season. Sturdy footwear is recommended, as the terrain can be uneven in places and path conditions may change quickly.
The formation spans 0.9 hectares (2.2 acres) of protected land, creating a specific microclimate between the rock layers. This confined area shelters plant species adapted to conditions directly above the seawater.
