Паша-Тепе

Pasha-Tepe is a mountain near Feodosiya standing about 167 meters high. The slopes are covered with Crimean pine trees and host modern telecommunications equipment.

A mineral water spring was discovered at the base of the mountain in 1904, leading to the establishment of a bottling operation. This discovery shaped local economic activity for years afterward.

The name comes from Crimean Tatar language, where Pasha refers to an Ottoman title and Tepe means peak. This linguistic heritage remains visible in how local people refer to the mountain.

Several cycling trails wind through the slopes, built and maintained by local cycling enthusiasts. These paths accommodate different skill levels for riders.

Archaeological digs near the summit uncovered a prehistoric tool-making workshop from the period when people were transitioning from Paleolithic to Neolithic ways of life. This reveals that the area was occupied by early humans thousands of years ago.
