Бельбецький каньйон, Canyon and nature monument between Kuibysheve and Tankove, Bakhchysarai District, Crimea

Belbek Canyon is a 5 km stretch where the Belbek River cuts through the Inner Range of the Crimean Mountains between the settlement of Kuibyshevo and the village of Tankovoe. Its walls rise 65–70 m, and the narrowest point is 300 m wide. The gorge formed through water erosion along a deep fissure in the Cretaceous limestones and marls of the cuesta.

In 1975 the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR declared Belbek Canyon a natural monument of national importance. In 1980 the Crimean regional executive committee made the relict yew grove on the left bank, some 2,000 trees, a protected local object. The canyon cuts through the Inner Range of the Crimean Mountains between Kuibyshevo and Tankovoe.

The canyon draws visitors interested in geology, as its rock walls display different colored layers that tell the story of Earth's past. These visible strata make it easy to observe and understand the region's geological makeup while walking through the gorge.

Access to the gorge can be reached from the nearby villages of Male Sadove and Velike Sadove, with Bakhchysarai serving as the nearest larger town. Sturdy footwear is helpful since the terrain is rocky, and weather conditions should be considered as steep slopes and rock surfaces vary in accessibility depending on the season.

On a south-western slope on the left bank of the Belbek stands a relict yew grove of 2,000 trees, declared a protected local object by the Crimean regional executive committee in 1980. It is one of the canyon's features visitors most often walk past without noticing.
