Landslide in Crimea: how to get there and what to see?
Rest in Crimea means not only swimming in the sea and spending time on the beach, but also cultural rest. On the peninsula, there are settlements that are famous for the presence of historical places that deserve the attention of tourists. The village includes the landslide, but often it is recommended only as an intermediate stop on the way to Yalta, where you can spend a day. It will not be superfluous to consider leisure options, briefly learn the history of the village, as well as all its features.
Location
The village of Opolznevoe is located southwest of Yalta, only 25 kilometers from the city. This settlement has a fairly rich history, this is due to the findings of archaeologists. Based on their latest data, it can be reasonably considered that Taurus lived at this place. The emergence of the village, according to historians, can be safely attributed to the time of the Byzantine Empire, during that same period a huge defensive fortress was erected on the rock of Bük-Isar.
Initially, the place was occupied by Christians, where they were until the victory of the Turks. Confirmation of the complete eradication of Orthodox churches is their absence during the accession of the peninsula to the Russian Empire.
The name Landslide was given to the village because of a natural disaster that happened back in 1786 near the village. At that time, in the highlands, there really was a collapse that did not go unnoticed, because it interfered with the movement of travelers whose road ran through this village.
Interesting sights
