Second ridge of Crimean Mountains

The second ridge of Crimean Mountains extends over 180 kilometers with elevations reaching 572 meters, creating a natural barrier between coastal and inland regions.

The geological formation of this mountain range began during the Mesozoic era, with significant developments continuing through the Cainozoic period through tectonic activities.

Local communities have established multiple nature reserves throughout the second ridge to protect endemic species and maintain the ecological balance of the region.

The mountain range receives between 600 to 1000 millimeters of annual rainfall, supporting diverse vegetation and creating a temperate continental climate zone.

The ridge contains valuable ornamental stone formations, including gabbro-diabase, which originated from solidified magma during its geological development.
