In the middle of the blue sea space, a quadrangle of land stands out, where Tarkhankut protrudes on one side, and the Kerch Peninsula on the other. narrow lane Kerch Strait separates Crimea from Taman Peninsula, which is part of Krasnodar Territory Russia.

From all sides Crimea is washed by the seas: Black and Azov. If it weren’t for the narrow Perekop Isthmus connecting Crimea with the mainland, the region would have become a full-fledged island.

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is a region of Ukraine. The northern administrative border runs along Lake Sivash and the Perekop shaft. Arbat arrow in the northeast it divides the Crimea and the Kherson region. In the opposite part is the hero city of Sevastopol. By the way, it has republican subordination and is isolated from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on most economic issues.

center of business and cultural life region is the city of Simferopol. It is located in the very center of the peninsula and connects all routes between the cities of Crimea.

The area of ​​Crimea is more than 25 thousand square meters. kilometers, which is quite a lot for the peninsula. For comparison: this is more than Israel, Lebanon or Cyprus.

The nature of the peninsula is very diverse, at least due to the combination of 3 climatic zones. The land is favorable for agriculture, and sea ​​coast very convenient.

As for the relief of the Crimea, its flat part differs slightly from the neighboring regions of Ukraine. West Side passes into the limestone ledges of Tarkhankut, and in the east the hilly chains of Kerch begin. The famous Crimean mountains stretch from Sevastopol to Feodosia in three ridges. Their length is 150 kilometers. The northern slopes of the mountains are smooth and gentle, while the southern slopes are sharp and steep.

The uniqueness of the Crimean peninsula partly lies in its unique climate. Although the peninsula does not have large sizes, climatic zones here they have big variety. Surprisingly, with an area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe peninsula of 27 thousand square kilometers, there are as many as three climatic macroregions. This is not counting that there are up to 20 sub-regions here! The secret of this phenomenon is the combination of various relief formations, the fact that the peninsula is washed by two seas, the presence of bays, and also the fact that its borders encircle high mountains. Basically, the climatic zones are divided into three main relief units of the peninsula - the steppe, mountain, and southern embankment zone.

A feature of the region is the presence of areas where in winter period especially warm. At the same time, it is phenomenal that if, for example, in Yalta and Melitopol in summer the temperature spread is only 1 degree, in winter the temperature difference can reach 11 degrees! This is precisely due to the landscape, the Crimean mountains in this case protect Yalta from continental winds. The warmest of all, of course, is on the southern coast of Crimea, here the mild weather is due to the proximity of the sea. The most severe, in terms of cold weather, are the Crimean mountains, the peaks of which remain cold even in summer. The warmest place in Crimea is Miskhor. average temperature in January it is +4.4 degrees, and the average annual temperature is almost 14 degrees. Thus, the Crimea remains an attractive holiday destination for tourists even in winter, they come here for the Christmas holidays, or in winter vacation. Map of Crimean regions:

Crimean mountains- silent giants who keep the secrets of history

The mountains divide the Crimean peninsula into two parts: most of- steppe, and actually - mountainous part. The mountains stretch from the northeastern to the southwestern part of the peninsula, from Sevastopol to Feodosia, forming three parallel mountain ranges, which, in turn, are separated by beautiful green plains. The length of the mountains is almost 200 kilometers, the width is about 50 kilometers. The main ridge has the most great height mountains, it includes such giants as Roman-Kosh, with a height of more than one and a half kilometers, Chatyrdok, whose height is 1525 meters (which is only 20 meters less than the height mountains Roman-Kosh), and Ai-Petri, whose height is 1231 meters. The southern slopes of the Main Range are steep, while the northern slopes are gentle.

Peaks Crimean mountains without a forest, form a plateau, which is called "yayla". From the Turkic word "yayl" is translated as "summer pasture". Yayly combine the properties of mountains and plains, they are connected by narrow ridges with mountain passes. Since ancient times, paths from the Crimean steppe to the South coast passed in these places.

For centuries, the Yayla were washed away by rainwater, the streams of which dotted the mountains. numerous moves, forming beautiful caves, mines and wells.

Behind main ridge is the Inner Ridge. It is significantly lower highest point the inner ridge is Mount Kubalich, its height is less than 750 meters. The inner ridge extends from the Mekenziev mountains to Mount Agarmysh. The length of this ridge is 125 kilometers.

The third row of the Crimean mountains is called the Northern Ridge. This mountain range the lowest, its height reaches only 340 meters. This ridge is also called foothills. The southern slopes of the northern ridge are steep, while the northern ones are gentle, smoothly turning into plains. Crimean mountains are great place for mountain tourism, hiking, climbing. Well-established infrastructure allows organizing a complex, good rest, useful for health.

Maps of cities of Crimea over 10,000 population.

Steppes of Crimea- fertile fields and mud volcanoes. If the mountains are located on only 20 percent of the peninsula, then the steppe occupies about 70 percent of the entire territory of Crimea. The Crimean steppe is the southern outskirts of the East European Plain. It is almost completely located on the same level, only slightly lowering in the north. On the Kerch Peninsula, the steppe is divided by the Parpach ridge, here southwestern part flat, and the northeast - hilly. The famous mud hills and coastal lake basins are located in this zone. There are unique mud volcanoes here (these volcanoes are not related to real volcanoes, because they erupt cold mud instead of red-hot lava).

flat part The Crimean steppe consists of southern chernozems, unusually fertile, from which more than half of the territory is occupied by arable land, the rest of the forest and pastures, and only less than 5% of the steppe is occupied by vineyards and garden plots.

Basis of green tourism- Crimean forests. It is naive to believe that the Crimea is an arid bare steppe. Almost 350 thousand hectares of the peninsula are occupied by forests. Oaks grow predominantly on the slopes of the mountains, here they make up about 65% of all trees (while pine trees account for less than 15%). On south coast the legendary juniper grows, and evergreen small-fruited strawberries. Here you can find pistachios, pontic needle, cistus, pyracantha, shrub jasmine, and many other plants that are hard to find on the mainland of Ukraine.

Diversity of Crimean water resources. There are more than one and a half thousand rivers and drains on the Crimean peninsula. The total length of water flows is almost 6 thousand kilometers. At the same time, it should be noted that most of them are small streams that dry up in summer. It is surprising that there are only 257 rivers that are more than 5 kilometers long on the peninsula.

The main rivers of the peninsula are divided into the following groups:

1. Rivers of the northern slope of the Crimean mountains. Here is the famous Salgir, the longest Crimean river, its length is 232 kilometers. The remaining rivers of the northern slope are much shorter, for example, Wet Indole - only 27 kilometers, Churuksu - 33 kilometers.
2. Rivers of the northwestern slope. Here is the most long river Alma, its length is 84 kilometers. Other rivers (Chernaya, Belbek, Kacha, Western Bulganok) are a little shorter.
3. Rivers of the southern coast of Crimea. There are mostly small water flows here, for example, the length of the Uchan-Su River is only 8.4 kilometers, Demerdzhi - 14, and Derekoika - 12 kilometers.

An amazing fact: the rivers of the northwestern slopes are located almost in parallel, and half of their path is mountain streams. The rivers of the northern slopes, which flow through the plain, flow into the Sivash. On the southern coast - short rivers are entirely mountain streams, they all flow into the Black Sea. Unique here is the Wuchang-Su River, on its shortcut it forms four beautiful waterfalls.

The reason for the underdevelopment river waters on the peninsula is that the main source of rivers are rains. Rainwater feeds the Crimean rivers by almost 50 percent, while The groundwater give rivers only 30 percent of their water potential. The rest is snowmelt. The groundwater potential of Crimea barely exceeds a billion cubic meters, for comparison, from Ukraine it supplies three times annually more water to the peninsula. 20 reservoirs and more than a hundred ponds help control groundwater. The North Crimean Canal from Ukraine delivers 3.5 billion cubic meters of water to Crimea, this is the main water source for agriculture. If not for this water source, then the arid Crimean steppe could not be fertile. (for comparison, in 1937 there were 35 thousand hectares of irrigated land, and in 1994 more than 10 times more - 400 thousand).

Certainly speaking of water resources, it is impossible not to mention the lakes-estuaries, valuable healing springs salt water. In total, there are more than 50 such lakes on the territory of Crimea, their total area exceeds 5 thousand square kilometers. Salt is obtained here healing mud. The most famous such lake is Sakskoye, but you can also visit Sasyk, Donuzlav, Bakal, Krasnoye or Aktashskoye lake.

Outcome: In Crimea, you can find absolutely everything on the maps, and even more. Rest for the purpose of treatment, winter and summer holidays, extreme tourism, hiking and cycling, wine tourism, rock climbing - here you can find a vacation for every taste and budget. Unique climate and the atmosphere of these places will make you come here again and again.
