Paragilmen mountain, Protected summit in Alushta, Ukraine

Paragilmen is a limestone outlier of the Main Crimean Range rising to 857–871 m, 2 km north of Malyi Mayak near Alushta. From the sea it looks like a large trapezoid with slopes of 60–80° and a flattened summit stretching almost half a kilometre north to south. About 30 species of trees and shrubs grow on it, 10 of them listed in the Red Book.

Paragilmen has been a protected nature monument since 1964. Its name comes from the medieval Greek word 'paraginome', meaning 'to go beyond something'. In August 2015, unknown persons cut down the geodetic survey marker, including its three supports, on the summit.
