Kazantypskyi State Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Crimea, Ukraine
The Kazantypskyi State Nature Reserve spans 450 hectares on a peninsula surrounded by the Azov Sea, connected to land by a narrow sand strip.
The reserve received its protected status on May 12, 1998, through a decree of the President of Ukraine to safeguard the natural complexes of Crimea.
The name Kazantyp originates from Turkic languages, meaning 'bottom of the cauldron' due to the geological formation of its elevated edges and lower interior.
The reserve experiences a continental climate with hot summers reaching 35.7°C and mild winters dropping to -22.3°C, making spring the optimal period for visits.
The protected territory contains 541 plant species, including 25 listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, alongside 188 vertebrate animal species within its boundaries.
