Nikitskaya cleft

Nikitskaya cleft climbing wall
Crimea, Nikita
Monument of nature (1969), located above the trolleybus track near the village of Botanicheskoe.

As if cut by a giant sword, the limestone cliffs form here a gloomy, cold gorge. Sheer cliffs 25-30 meters high hang overhead, a forest grows along the upper edge of the gorge. With a width of about 30 meters, the Nikitskaya cleft extends from east to west for 200 meters.

The kingdom of gloomy rocks is complemented by stone chaos and scree, deep cracks, from which even in the summer heat it pulls with grave cold. All three exits from the cleft are cluttered with pyramidal rocks. Interesting vegetation complements the originality of the Nikitskaya cleft. At the bottom, blackberry and clematis bushes are visible, similar to soft emerald pillows. Whips of evergreen ivy hide in the cracks. Here and there on the walls single clumsy trunks of juniper and Crimean pine nestled. You look and wonder at the amazing ability of plants to adapt to life literally on bare rocks. Pistachio, mountain ash, fluffy oak also grow here, evergreen trees of small-fruited strawberry stand out with a red trunk.

The cleft is located, indeed, above the highway itself, very close. However, we missed and went too far, but I have no regrets - wandered through the forest, climbed rocks, breathed fresh air and even saw a couple of roe deer! When we were already desperate and wanted to leave, we finally reached it, a crevasse. Nothing special - a few sheer cliffs, on which, according to the sign, the famous mountaineer Mikhail Khergiani trained. Films "Sportloto-82" and "Children of Captain Grant" were filmed here.
