Kachynsky Canyon, Nature reserve in Crimea.
The Kachynsky Canyon extends for 3.5 kilometers with walls reaching 320 meters in height, featuring numerous springs and geological formations along its length.
The canyon formation began approximately 2 million years ago through tectonic movements where the African plate slides beneath the European continental plate.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of exploring the canyon through the Yusupovskaya trail, which connects to the village of Sokolinoe.
Visitors need to bring appropriate hiking gear and should avoid entering the canyon during rainy periods due to potential flooding and rock slides.
The temperature inside the canyon maintains a constant 11 degrees Celsius throughout the year, creating specific conditions for plant growth.
