Third ridge of Crimean Mountains, Limestone ridge in Crimean Mountains, Ukraine.
The Third Ridge extends 150 kilometers across southern Crimea, forming the external section of three parallel mountain chains with karst formations.
Geological studies reveal that the Third Ridge emerged through marine sediment deposits during the periods from Jurassic to Quaternary ages.
The ridge contains multiple passes that local populations have used for centuries to traverse between coastal regions and inland territories.
Numerous hiking paths cross the ridge, with clear markers leading to viewpoints overlooking both the Black Sea and northern steppes.
The limestone structure of the Third Ridge creates a natural filtration system that channels rainfall into underground lakes and water reservoirs.
