Бельбецький каньйон, Canyon and natural monument in Bakhchysarai District, Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
The Belbek Canyon extends for 5 kilometers with walls reaching heights of 70 meters and a minimum width of 300 meters between Kuibysheve and Tankove villages.
The canyon received its protected status in 1975, following a reorganization of the local nature monument established in 1969 by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
The geological formations in the canyon present crucial evidence for studying the stratigraphy of Upper Cretaceous and Lower Paleogene periods in Crimea.
The canyon provides access points from the nearby settlements of Male Sadove and Velike Sadove, with Bakhchysarai serving as the primary urban gateway.
The canyon contains a protected grove of 2000 yew trees, declared a local conservation site in 1980, among its diverse flora including oaks and dogwoods.
