Great Canyon of Crimea, Natural canyon in Crimean Mountains, Ukraine
The Grand Canyon of Crimea stretches for 3 kilometers between Ai-Petri and Boyka massifs, featuring limestone walls that reach depths of 320 meters.
Russian-Ukrainian scientist Ivan Puzanov documented and named the Grand Canyon of Crimea in 1925, establishing its scientific significance for geological research.
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour ruins on the Boyka side contain Eastern Orthodox icons, representing religious heritage within the natural formation.
The canyon requires careful navigation during dry weather or after rain due to potential rock slides, with access available through hiking trails from Yalta.
The Fountain of Youth, known as Kara-Gol, maintains water temperatures between 10-13 degrees Celsius throughout the year in its 5-meter deep basin.
