Amazing and mystical place Meganom Crimea

in #travel7 years ago

Summer of 2013 I with my friends went to Crimea Cape Mehanom with camping.
Meganom probably a most beautiful place in Crimea. And mystical too.
Greek called that place like a portal to another world, There many obelisks, ruined temple of Shiva and another mythology staffs.

Meganom is a peninsula, a hole, a cape and a mountain in The Crimea, not far from Sudak. The name «Meganom», from Greek means «A big pasture», «A huge house». «Meganom» cape is seen from the whole south and east Crimean coast, it looks like a dome-shaped peninsula and seems to be a united body of masonry. But in reality, it consists of four separately standing capes, separated from each other with deep valleys and canyons, reaching the open sea. The nearest to Sudak cape is called Rybachij (Fishing). It used to be called Kilse-Burun (Church cape). The next (to the east) – the most brought forward and the highest cape is Meganom or Choban-Basty. In 3 to the east kilometers from that cape is Bugas cape (A passage). Nearby is Bugas valley, which goes to the sea with Bugas cape. Bugas cape is the most interesting cape for tourists, it has transparent water, which is perfect for diving. Further to the east is Tolstyj (Thick) cape with Chalka bay, where Kozskaja valley begins. Not long ago the territory of Meganom cape was classified as a secret. There is still rocket control center running on the cape elevation. The nature of Meganom is protected. It is interesting due to its plantation complex, connecting mountain and steppe landscapes, and also thanks to its transparent, clean coastal waters.

Strong winds are typical for the local climate and are used for electricity acquisition. There is a department of «Donuzlav’s wind-driven power-station» on the peninsula. The foundations for wind-driven power-station on Meganom cape were laid in 1999, and the station itself was opened in May 2002. Altogether there are 58 wind aggregates, which generate 100 kW/h of energy. The station is serviced by four men.

The ecological route to Meganom: The rise from the Kapsel valley goes along the path to the Meganom top. Acquaintance with wind generators. The descent to the beacon, where lenses, which were installed at the end of the XIX century, still can be found. The descent to Ach-Kaja canyon. Acquaintance with badlands – reliefs of deserted and semi-deserted regions, consisting of branching ravines and narrow passages. The duration of the route is 6 hours.

Дякую! Я був в Криму декілька разів. Дуже шкода, що не встиг прогулятись горами. У них є один великий "+" у порівняні з Карпатами - це море! Можна милуватись горами у поєднанні з морем!

І там і там око милується)
