Everything you need to know about rest in the village of Zelenogorye (Crimea)

Crimea is most often associated with the sunny coast and the gentle sea. In this article we will tell you about an unusual vacation - we invite you to Zelenogorye. This is an amazing corner where you can enjoy the clean fresh mountain air and swim in the sea.

Zelenogorye is a small village with a population of 200 people. Mainly Crimean Tatars live in it - they are very friendly and hospitable people. The village is surrounded by mountains covered with various vegetation. It is located at an altitude of 260 meters above sea level. At a distance of 6-7 kilometers, there are unspoiled beaches, which are only 10 minutes away. Therefore, vacationers often live in Zelenogorye, and visit the beaches on the coast. Alushta is a regional center for Zelenogorye, and 10 kilometers to the southern coast of Crimea.

Tourists love mountain vacations and prefer to stay in a picturesque place among the mountains. There is something to see here. Mountain landscapes beckon with their unforgettable beauty, winding paths encircle the mountains and invite for a walk. You can also swim excellently in the high-mountain lake, which is located in the Panagia tract.

People coming from big cities prefer a quiet country holiday to noisy beaches. Some vacationers come here for just one day to admire the local beauty, then return to the beach. Someone lives here for several days. But no one leaves indifferent. The surroundings of the village are impressive with their beauty.

One of these places is the Panagia tract and the Arpatskie waterfalls. There is a special route for tourists.You can get here from the village on foot or by transport.

Among the mountains nestled a small stream Arpat, smoothly turning into the Pananya-Uzen river, translated from Tatar - "holy river". Winding through the mountainous terrain, the waters of the river fall from the rocks, shimmering with a rainbow of waterfalls. For many centuries, water, washing out stones, has formed strange depressions in them, similar to baths. In the summertime, it is pleasant to lie down in the "baths". The water warms up well in them, and you will get the most of your bathing pleasure.

Trails in hard-to-reach places are equipped with staircases with handrails. On the way there are benches and a toilet. Such trips do not require special training, but there are difficult-to-pass places in the mountains. Therefore, elderly people and children should refrain from long trips.

The pearl of the tract is an artificial lake. It is small, surrounded by an embankment. A rocky road leads from the village to a wide area. You can park your car here, but in wet weather the dirt road is not always suitable for driving. At an altitude of 290 meters above sea level, the lake is surrounded by the mountains Muezzin-Kaya, Chok-Sary-Kaya, Kuracha-Kaya. They are covered with rich vegetation and its color is reflected in the water. This makes the surface of the lake appear greenish-turquoise.

It is famous for its special beauty Mount Muezzin... The canyon fascinates tourists with its beauty so much that they are ready to spend the whole day here. In ancient legends, these mountains were given romantic names. For example, Mountain of lovers, Rock of dates. The depressions in the rocks, filled with water, were called the "bath of youth" or "the bath of health." According to the observations of local residents, staying in such a font improves human health.

The turquoise color of the water of the amazing lake beckons vacationers into its arms, and you can sunbathe on a small beach. For a thrill, there is an opportunity to fly on the "bungee" structure over the smooth surface of the lake. There are fish in the reservoir, but fishing is not provided here. If you want to pitch your tent, go down a little south of the lake. For spending the night, this is a more comfortable place than the steep coast of the beach. And in the morning you will be awakened by a fresh breeze, the polyphony of birds, you will enjoy admiring the mountain peaks that surround the area from all sides.

The village is dominated by the private housing sector. There will be no problems with accommodation. Friendly locals will gladly provide you with comfortable lounges or an entire home. The price of a room per day is 1000 rubles. Large families or groups of people are more likely to rent an entire house. It will cost more - 3000 rubles per day.

Vacationers are invited to admire the endless sea spaces, the delightful mountain landscape. It is not necessary to embark on a journey for this. It is enough to climb to a high mountain platform stretching over the village. The horizon expands in front of you up to ten kilometers. Moving deeper into the forest, you will come across real wilderness, places untouched by civilization. People who have come from large metropolitan areas always like this type of recreation.

You can relax in Zelenogorye all year round. But the most convenient time is spring and summer. The weather at this time of the year is excellent. In spring +18.20 degrees Celsius, in summer up to +30. In autumn, the mountain lake and river become shallow, waterfalls descend in a thin stream. And in the private sector, not all houses are equipped to accommodate visitors.

Most often, vacationers come by their own cars. A smooth asphalt road will take you to your destination. I would like to warn beginners against trouble. Be careful on the winding mountain road!
