Cape Tuzla, Protected natural monument in Krasnodar Krai, Russia.
Cape Tuzla is a headland extending into the Kerch Strait that marks the eastern approach with high cliffs and natural rock formations. The landscape reveals distinctive geological layers and erosion patterns shaped by long exposure to sea currents and weather.
A severe storm in 1925 separated the cape from the mainland by creating a water channel exceeding one kilometer in width. This geographical shift permanently altered the cape's relationship to surrounding landmasses and coastal dynamics.
The cape represents a meeting point between the Black Sea maritime traditions and the regional customs of Krasnodar Krai communities.
The site is reachable from the surrounding region of Krasnodar Krai and remains accessible throughout most of the year. Weather conditions can affect visibility and access to certain areas, so timing your visit with local conditions in mind is helpful.
The cape served as a critical anchor point for major bridge infrastructure, becoming an integral part of a significant regional engineering project. The convergence of natural geography with modern construction showcases how the site was essential to contemporary development.
