Rivers are usually considered as sources of water resources for water supply and irrigation. However, many Crimean rivers and their valleys are unique natural monuments. The high-water karst springs that gave rise to them captured the imagination of the local residents of the low-water Crimea. Springs were declared holy, and monasteries arose near them. Since ancient times, all settlements were built near rivers, so there are many historical monuments in their valleys. The first transport highways were tied to river beds. Ancient roads ran along river beds and through mountain passes (bogaz) connecting the southern coast of Crimea with the rest of its territory.
Let's consider the tourist and recreational potential of the Kuchuk-Karasu River (Biyuk-Karasu, Malaya Karasevka, Sukhaya Karasevka).
The Kuchuk-Karasu River is a second-order tributary of the famous Crimean Salgir River and a first-order right tributary of the Biyuk-Karasu River. The Kuchuk-Karasu River is the last river in the Salgir river system. The length of the river is 62 km, the area of the drainage basin is 255 km2. The river begins with the karst spring Pavel-Chokrak on the northern slopes of Karabi-yayla, at the Gorucha pass and flows into Biyuk-Karasu at a distance of 25 km from the mouth. The main tributaries are the Sollar (Burliuk), 7.2 km long; DzhemrekUzen (Kopyrlikoy) 12 km long and Dzhanykbet-Uzen 5.8 km long. In addition to these tributaries, the river receives twenty more, less than 5 km long.
The name of the river Kuchuk-Karasu is due to the fact that its beginning is a karst spring (from Turkic, karasuw - spring water). To avoid confusion with the main river, the names contain the distinctive words “biyuk” - large and “kuchuk” - small. Often on modern maps these rivers are called Bolshaya Karasevka and Malaya Karasevka, respectively, which is associated with Russian pronunciation. After the inclusion of Crimea into Russia, Lieutenant General Baron Ingelstrom made a cameral description of Crimea (1784), which contained information, among other things, about the Karasbazar kaymakan, including the Kuchuk-Karasovsky Kadylyk. The names of some villages from this description survived until May 18, 1948.
It should be noted that the name of the river did not escape vulgarism (a simultaneous combination of both Turkic and Russian languages), such as “Malaya Karasu”. In the description of the Tauride province in 1865, the river is also called Malaya Kara-Su.
The upper southern part of the Kuchuk-Karasu drainage basin is located on the northern slopes of the Main Range of the Crimean Mountains and has a mountainous, highly rugged terrain. The steep and steep slopes of the mountains are covered with dense forest. All major tributaries originate here. In the foothill, middle part, KuchukKarasu crosses the first longitudinal valley, along the bottom of which the Belogorsk-Grushevka highway runs. The river cuts through the inner mountain range with the picturesque Prolom gorge, between the Ailyanchik-Kaya and Burunduk-Kaya mountains. The lower part of the drainage basin is a flat, treeless plain. Here the river network is poorly developed and is represented only by gullies and ravines that carry water during rains or snowmelt. The river itself most often dries up in the summer-autumn period.
The Kuchuk-Karasu drainage basin is limited from the south by a watershed line running along the vast Arpatskaya Yaila (Dzhelyav) with meadows and along the Kapsikhorskaya Yaila with glades on the tops of the Postrofil and Baybulatyn-Katmeri mountains. The southern slopes of the Main Ridge are occupied by the catchment areas of the south-bank rivers, Uskut, Arpat and Shelena, respectively. In the west, the Kuchuk-Karasu catchment borders the basin of the Biyuk-Karasu tributary - the Tonas River. The watershed line between them runs along the curved forested Kuba-Burun ridge, formed by mountains whose height decreases to the north - Khara-Burun (793 m), Stolb (754 m), Kuba-Burun (699 m), Kabarga (686 m), Dzhemrek (628.8 m). From the east, the watershed separates the basin of the Kuchuk-Karasu River and the entire Salgir from the rivers originating on the northeastern slopes of the Main Range of the Crimean Mountains. From the Shelensky Pass (663 m), the watershed runs along the Karakol ridge, with a rocky forest dome - Mount Burma (854 m). In this place, the mountain range bends in plan (from the Turks, Burmese - twisted). From Burma to the north, across the saddle rises the interesting Mount Koktash (Turkish, kok - blue, green, heavenly; tash - stone). Koktash is a heavenly stone, a type of limestone.
The mountain is a former coral reef. There are many such isolated peaks in the southeastern part of Crimea. The current mountains were underwater ridges on which colonies of corals settled.
In the place of Crimea in the Jurassic period, many millions of years ago, the warm Tethys Sea splashed. As a result of tectonic processes, the mountainous country eventually rose to the surface, and underwater ridges lifted bizarre coral blocks high into the sky. The rocky peak of Koktash (804 m) can be seen far from the road against the background of the blue sky. The mountain is easily recognizable by its steep cliff, similar to a giant fang, protruding from the cap of the dark forest. A light cliff cliff appears bluish or greenish (depending on the lighting). Since “kok” also means “heavenly,” it is a mountain rising into the sky. And indeed the edges of the cliff are sheer, and the sharp ledge is directed upward. However, in Turkic languages “kok” is also translated as “east”. It is quite possible that such a noticeable mountain served as a kind of signpost for the road to the east. In the Middle Ages, in this direction along the beds of the rivers neighboring KuchukKarasu - Indol, Wet Indol, Dry Indol, Small Indol, the great Silk Road partially passed - the road to India (“ind” - India, “el” - road). From Persia, caravans went to the medieval trading cities of Kafa (now Feodosia) and Soldaya (now Sudak). Then the watershed crosses a longitudinal valley and passes further along the long wooded Chipmunk Ridge, whose numerous ledges look like huge waves catching up with each other. The ridge ends in the north with the asymmetrical mountain Burunduk-Kaya. From the northern side of the Burunduk ridge, the Dzhanykbet-Uzen River flows into Kuchuk-Karasu from the right bank. Once upon a time there was a postal road to Feodosia. The highest point of the Burunduk Range is Mount Kubalach (738 m), which is also the highest mountain of the Inner Ridge.
The top of the mountain is covered with protected beech forests. On the southwestern slopes of the mountain in the Kubalach tract, a botanical reserve of national significance “Kubalach tract” has been organized. This is the only place not only in Crimea, but throughout the world, where the rarest endemic grows, the perennial primrose plant - Kuznetsov's cyclamen. The plant was declared a protected area in 1971, and in 1977 it was listed in the Red Book. Mount Kubalach is composed of limestones. White outcrops of nummulitic limestone are visible on the slopes of the mountain, where the remains of old quarries remain. At the foot of the mountain is the village of Michurinskoye, which until 1948 was called Kaburchak, which means “shell”. Precipitation that falls on the vast surface of the mountain seeps into the mountain range and then emerges as springs near the mountain. For example, near the village of Rodniki (formerly Chokrak, which means “source”). And the village of Tekie (now Melekhovo), belonging to the Mohammedan spiritual rule (“tekie”, “tekke” - a dervish abode, monastery), according to a cameral description (1865), arose near the fountain. In the low-water Crimea, local residents called captured springs fountains.
Mount Kubalach is encircled by the Belogorsk-Grushevka highway, laid in the longitudinal valley separating the Main and Inner mountain ranges. During the Great Patriotic War, the highway was of strategic importance, as the Nazis used it to transfer their troops to the Kerch Peninsula. In December 1941, Crimean partisans committed one of their first acts of sabotage here.
Along the highway in the valley of the Kuchuk-Karasu River lies the village of Bogatoye. The former name of the village BakhchiEli, which means “edge of gardens,” suits it perfectly. The inhabitants of the valley grew apples and pears of indigenous varieties. The “List of Populated Places of the Russian Empire” (1865) mentions the sovereign Tatar village of Bakche-Eli near the Malaya Kara-Su River.
Typically, tourist routes are directed to the upper reaches of the Kuchuk-Karasu River. From the main highway Belogorsk - Grushevka, in front of Bogaty, a road goes south to Cheremisovka (formerly Kopyurlyu-Koy), located on the left tributary of the Kuchuk-Karasu - Dzhemrek-Uzen, originating in the Ortachek tract, between the Kabarga and Dzhemrek mountains. The former name of the village testifies to the high water content of the river (kopyur - bridge, koi - village). Dzhemrek-Uzen flows into Kuchuk-Karasu in the middle reaches, near the village of Michurinskoye. The Kuchuk-Karasu itself flows at the right side of the valley along a straightened channel, parallel to the road. Here the river valley is box-shaped and occupied by gardens. The river bed was diverted to the right side of the valley in the 70s of the twentieth century, freeing up the land for intensive palmetto gardens, and a reservoir was built under the southern slopes of Mount Koktash and an irrigation system.
The valley has been inhabited since ancient times. Remains of Neolithic and Copper Age settlements have been found here. There were also here the same age as the Egyptian pyramids - mounds from the Bronze Age (3 thousand - 2.5 thousand BC). At that time, tribes of the Kemi-Oba culture lived here, who inhabited a significant part of the Northern Black Sea region and Plain Crimea. Under the earthen embankment of the mound there were stone structures, and even deeper, wooden burial boxes made of thick oak trunks. They contained products made of flint and copper, and pottery. The name of the archaeological culture was given by the Kemi-Oba mound excavated in 1957 (Turks, Kemi - an ancient Turkic family; both - the peak) on the watershed of the Kuchuk-Karasu and Tonas rivers, not far from the modern village of Dozornoye. In the Middle Ages, these lands were part of the territory of the Soldai Genoese consulate. Fleeing from the Seljuk Turks, in the 11th - 12th centuries. Armenians settled in these fertile lands. They settled mainly between Karasu-Bazar (now Belogorsk) and Kafay (now Feodosia), where many monuments of this people have been preserved. One kilometer from the village of Bogatoye, upstream the river, there are the ruins of an Armenian temple of the 14th century. The temple bore the name of the Savior, and in the second half of the 19th century. there was a monastery of St. Elijah with him. The monument has the status of national importance.
Then the road approaches the river and passes through the village of Krasnaya Sloboda, located on the left bank of the Kuchuk-Karasu. The bus part of the route ends at the next village - Povorotnoye (formerly Ailanma, Ailyanma). The former Turkic name of the village is Ailyanma, meaning “to turn, there is no further road.” However, walking routes diverge from the village into picturesque gorges formed by the river and its tributaries, with waterfalls and “baths of youth” (the conventional name for Eurasian cauldrons that are formed by falling water and refined by stones carried by the river during floods). The result is small in area, but quite deep mountain lakes with clear water that has a blue tint. The name “bath of youth” is very appropriate, since any person, having plunged into clean water with a temperature of, as a rule, 8 - 10 degrees, jumps back with brave prowess, regardless of age. In these places, waterfalls and “baths of youth” of the narrow, sometimes rocky, Kokasan gorge are known. It should be noted that the word "kokasan" is present in many names here. On the southern watershed rises the forested cone of Mount Kokasan-Tepe (tepe - peak), on the watershed between the Tonas and Kuchuk-Karasu rivers there is the Upper Kokasan clearing, and in the valley of the right tributary of the neighboring Tonas River, the Kok-Asan-Uzen River (uzen - river) , – Nizhny Kokasan clearing. The road from Belogorsk to the village of Privetnoye passes through the Kokasan-Bogaz pass (Bogaz - pass).
One of the walking routes known as “Cheremisovsky waterfalls” goes to the picturesque Kokasan gorge. Immediately behind the village the protected territory of the Belogorsk forestry agency begins. The road along the gorge is pleasant even in the summer heat, since the protected beeches close with their crowns at the top, and thanks to this, the forest is shady and cool. The riverbed is littered with stones of various sizes. The exposed tree roots show the level to which the water rises during a flood. The sides of the gorge, although not high, are close to each other, so the power of the water that developed such a miracle of nature is especially felt. To facilitate passage through the gorge, foresters equipped simple devices, thanks to which even a completely unprepared person can overcome the crests of the three waterfalls encountered along the way. The guides tell legends and stories about each “bath of youth” and each waterfall, giving them appropriate names (youth, health, beauty, love, wealth). Tourist custom requires you to plunge into the water of each “bath” and stand under the jets of each waterfall. In this case, the animating skills of the guide are very important, who, after a convincing story, courageously plunges into each of the baths, thus urging tourists to do the same. Such excursions into nature give health, youth, beauty, and love, which is the true wealth of every person. The excursion route along the Kokasan tract ends at a huge cascading waterfall, above which the river is a small stream, following which upstream you can reach the Gorucha pass (743 m) and reach the Arpatskaya yayla. Then you can go down to the Panagia tract, located on the southern slopes of the Main Ridge, and along the bed of the Arpat River go down to the southern coast of Crimea. Once upon a time there was a road connecting the city of Karasubazar (now Belogorsk) with the village of Arpat (now Zelenogorye). The picturesque gorge of the Arpat River is called the land of sharp peaks. In the upper reaches of the Arpat, from the north and west, the picturesque, unusual for the Crimea, sharp peaks of the Sori (Sugar Loaf), Shuvri and Khrikol mountains catch the eye.
Another pedestrian route also begins above the village of Povorotnoye along the flow of the right tributary of the Kuchuk-Karasu - the Burliuk River. In its upper reaches, the river flows through the Burliuk-Dere ravine with steep wooded slopes and many side ravines. Burliuk originates from the northwestern slopes of the long forested mountain Berliuk, with extensive clearings at the top. During the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War, Mount Berlyuk and the Berlyuk Gorge were a partisan region. There are many monuments to military glory in these places. In Povorotnoye, an obelisk was erected at the mass grave of partisans and civilians who died in 1941-42, at the foot of Mount Berlyuk - the Mound of Glory, and at its top - a monument.
The watershed between the Kuchuk-Karasu and Burliuk rivers runs along the tops of the Sori Mountains, its wooded northern spur - Mount Skirda, then along the Srednyaya Mountain and Mount Alu-Kaya. To the east of Mount Sori is the peak of Emula-Kaya (Ayu-Kaya) with rocky capes and cliffs and a wooded northern slope. "Ayu", from Turkic. - bear. Either this is a bear corner, or there were once bears here.
Below the village of Povorotnoye, Kuchuk-Karasu receives another right tributary - the Sollar River, originating at the Shelensky Pass (663 m). In its uppermost reaches, the river flows through a rocky gorge, then enters a wooded valley and two kilometers south of the village of Krasnaya Sloboda (formerly Sollar) flows into Kuchuk-Karasu. The name Sollar applies only to the lower reaches of the river (sollar is a term of the tribal structure, meaning “left”). The upper reaches of the river are called Kommurlyuk. From Turkic “Komurlyuk” – places where charcoal is burned. Through the Shelen Pass, which is a deep saddle between the Chatal-Koz mountains from the east and Karaul-Tepe from the west, you can go to the village of Gromovka, and then along the bed of the Shelen River to the village of Morskoye (formerly Kapsikhor) on the South Coast. Mount Çatal Köz is a two-humped forested ledge with rocky outcrops and clearings on the southern slope.
There are many mountains in Crimea with the name “Chatal”. In former times, “chatals” were called garden supports in the form of flyers at the end. At the time of full fruiting, native varieties of apple trees produced very high yields, and branches without chatals could not hold it.
Conclusions. Natural and historical monuments in the upper reaches of the Kuchuk-Karasu River are the tourist and recreational potential of the Belogorsk region. Natural history excursions to picturesque gorges with waterfalls shape the ecological worldview of tourists. Historical excursions to monuments from the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars foster a sense of patriotism. For local residents, the unique nature and rich historical past evoke feelings of love and respect for their land.

Everything started as usual. There was a four-day weekend in connection with the holiday on March 8 and we decided to go hiking. And we decided to go to the Kuchuk-Karasu canyon, which is beyond Belogorsk, from the village of Povorotnoye.
The first thing I would like to note is that you order a car in advance, since when you arrive in Belogorsk at 6 am on March 8 (not yet at the bus station, but on the highway outside the city - the “kind” driver of the regular bus dropped him off, although we asked at the bus station, but he didn’t stop at the bus station and that’s it...) we discovered that there was no life here , we were lucky - we met a local whose friend drove a taxi, lifted this friend out of bed and for a small sum we got to Rotary. And it’s still worth taking a car because regular buses basically don’t go to Povorotnoye)))
And here we are standing at the beginning of the “trail”.
More precisely, not paths, but still a machine track, a step to the side and knee-deep, or even higher, snow. The car track quickly ends and the trail begins. The speed is very low, we change the leader so that he doesn’t get too tired
At the same time, the canyon itself looks very, very cool, you don’t see it often beauty of Crimea in such a snowy setting.
Climbing the canyon takes half a day.
The day is ending and we get to the parking lot Upper Kok-Asan.
We trampled down the parking lot for a very long time, we were lucky to take an avalanche shovel, otherwise...
In the evening, after chatting over a mug of tea, we decide not to rush upstairs as we had planned, but to go to Zelenogorye- look tract Panagia. And here is a sunny morning.
We cheerfully begin our journey, but with each thigh-deep sinking, joy and lightness disappear.
Having reached the ridge above Panagia we see a beautiful snowy picture.
Have a snack and begin the descent. Our descent is unusual, because under 30 centimeters of snow the path is not visible, so we descend “by touch”. And here is the reward: waterfalls, and not the ones that people from Zelenogorye take people to, but the upper ones, which are on steep slopes in the middle of the forest and to which there are no paths.
To be honest, I wouldn’t go there either if there wasn’t snow. And so one step, two steps... and here is a waterfall.
After admiring the waterfalls, we go out into the valley
but the days are short and we stop for the night.
There is already much less snow here, in some places there is no snow at all.
Sleep, early rise and cultivated part of the canyon Panagia– you can’t say anything beautifully, but sometimes the metal railings that fit into the frame are simply driven to white heat.
IN Zelenogorye It’s good, it’s warm, but you need to get out, but there’s no bus - it’s not the season. No, of course there is, but once every few days and in the early morning at about 6 o’clock. We go to Greetings, the sun is warming, there is no snow, grace...
In Privetnoye we are luckier and we leave for Alushta, and on the way we were thinking of something else to do for one day and came up with the idea of stopping by Angarsk Pass and run through the lower plateaus Chatyr-Daga.
There are always a lot of people there - you won’t have to walk. Indeed, there are paths to Cold couloir In general, we ran up the road - there were competitions. We go out, the path, although narrow, is very good, and we enjoy the beauty of the winter forest.
But our plans were not destined to come true; the trail ended in a parking lot. And our attempts to trail ended with us falling almost waist-deep at every step. Well, that means not this time. Goodbye Crimea, we will definitely come back.
Beyond the fifth waterfall, the sun-drenched slopes of the canyon beckoned us into their beautiful, mysterious distances. But time is up, our driver must
be in Simferopol at 15 o'clock. Therefore, the need to return became inevitable - it was necessary to overcome 4 km of rocky riverbed in an hour.
On the way back, the Kuchuk-Karasu gorge appeared different to us, it showed
us your other side. 
It’s always like this in the Crimean mountains - if you go forward for a long time without looking back, then
When you return, you will see completely new pictures of nature. 
Among the purple-red splendor of the autumn shores, only
lakes with green pieces of the passing summer reflected in them. 
I noticed an amazing thing. My legs didn't feel at all this time.
fatigue compared to last year’s trip to the Kuchuk-Karasu canyon. 
Then, in the end, I could barely trudge, the joints of my feet ached as if they were bruised, and my knees were trembling.
Probably today the canyon received me like an old acquaintance, hospitably
feeding with energy. 
They say in the summer here after heavy rain the water level in the river within an hour
rose by a whole meter. So you can’t joke with the Kuchuk-Karasu river, otherwise
you will be saved by swimming :) 
I imagined something similar, so I studied the weather forecast in advance
across several sites. 
And today nothing stopped us from enjoying the peaceful beauty of the gorge,
quietly dormant in anticipation of future shocks. 
The fact that at times the elements show their violent temper here does not cause any
doubts. Fallen trunks and broken branches literally litter the bottom of the canyon. 
In the dry season, the river is slightly fed by springs that make their way through
shores. One of them attracted our attention with the quiet music of water, invisibly
flowing under a pile of stones... 
This is one of the most noticeable outcrops of blue clay on the surface of the slope.
I know cases when compresses from it helped with joint diseases. 
My companions have already climbed high to the shore, and I’m trying to get to the beginning
canyon along the bottom. Smaragda lakes framed by lapis lazuli rocks do not let go... 
Nature in autumn is full of bright treasures that enrich the soul and help it.
survive the long cold winter with its monotonous grayish-white color scheme. 
You just need to not miss these short moments of the most beautiful time of the year.
In the Crimean Mountains there are still some corners where pristine nature has not known the transformative influence of man. Some of them are quite accessible, and people without special training can easily visit them. A similar example of pristine nature is the Cheremisovsky waterfalls. Crimea here remains the same as it was during the Middle Ages.
Where are the Cheremisovskys in Crimea?
The waterfalls are located in the Belogorsk region. The nearest settlement is the village of Povorotnoye. The water giants themselves were created by the waters of the Kuchuk-Karasu river, which local Russian-speaking residents familiarly nicknamed Malaya Karasevka. It flows through the Kok-Asan canyon, better known as the Small Crimean canyon.
Waterfalls on the map of Crimea
History of appearance: the road between the stones
Cheremisovsky waterfalls were formed as a result of the passage of a river bed among piles of various rocks. The less resistant ones were smoothed out and washed away by water, but the harder ones remained in place, and one had to “jump over” them in the river. The geological features of the area also explain the differences in the shape of individual waterfalls. The falling water in some places knocked out depressions in the riverbed, creating the so-called “bathtubs”.
It is recommended to visit the waterfalls in spring or autumn, when it rains (sometimes it’s better in spring). The reason is simple - like most Crimean rivers, the Kuchuk-Karasu is small and almost dries up in the summer heat. At the same time, falling sources lose their power, or even practically disappear. Although the riverbed runs through a gorge, the path here is quite comfortable; any more or less healthy person can walk the route. Handrails are installed in the most dangerous places; parking lots and bridges are equipped.
Legends of the Cheremisovskys: love and youth
Remarkable tales about Kuchuk-Karasu are most associated with two waterfalls - Youth and Love. The first one built a recess in the riverbed called the Bath of Youth. The recipe for rejuvenation seems to be borrowed from the Little Humpbacked Horse (just as cruel). But it is effective - citizens who decide to swim here jump out with truly youthful agility. Of course, the water temperature here, even in the summer heat, does not exceed +10 degrees. The Falls of Love does not provide for such tests. It’s just that there are actually two parallel thresholds that connect in a common “bathtub”. The symbolism is clear.
Cheremisovskie waterfalls: walk through the Small Canyon
The excursion along Kuchuk-Karasu is carried out both upstream and downstream - the beauty of the landscapes does not change. There are many waterfalls and rapids on it, but only a few of them usually attract attention. They are not particularly tall or powerful, but aesthetics are hidden not only in records!
In addition to the already mentioned cascades, tourists are very fond of the Gorge waterfall - 
The most beautiful photos are taken here. The bed of the stream in this place is maximally squeezed by stones, so the stream is very narrow, but at the same time more powerful. There is an observation deck nearby that allows you to view almost the entire canyon with all its beauties. Popular Cheremisov waterfalls also include Pigtail and Mother's Tears, revered not for their power, but for their grace and aesthetics. The series is completed by a 10 m high Cascade, overcoming several ledges on its way.
To walk along the Cheremisovsky waterfalls, you will need comfortable sports shoes, since the entire trail passes between stones. It is also worth dressing quite warmly, since in the depths of the gorge it can be noticeably cool even in summer. Otherwise, no difficulties are expected during the route. It can be overcome in a few hours, but many tourists stay here longer, stopping at parking lots. These places are allocated not only to protect nature from the excessive enthusiasm of firewood collectors and camp organizers, but also for convenience - there are not many corners suitable for spending the night on the ledges of the canyon.
Tourists who visit these areas leave quite specific reviews. Of course, these are people for whom the “civilization” of everyday life is of secondary importance. She is not here. But the charm of the landscapes and pleasant surprises along the route are noted by everyone who walked along the Cheremisovsky.
Where are the cascades?
Where are Cheremisovsky waterfalls? Finding this place is not difficult if you move along the highway connecting and. In the area of Bogatoye, located on this highway, has a turn to Cheremisovka. Next you should move towards the villages of Krasnaya Sloboda and Povorotnoye. You don't need a map - there are signs marking the way. But you shouldn’t expect to drive your car too far - you’ll still have to leave it in a parking lot or with local residents and move on foot.
By car you can get to the waterfalls from:

On the Crimean Peninsula, many tourists prefer not the sea and beaches, but forests and mountains. Such exotic connoisseurs will definitely advise beginners to visit the Cheremisovsky waterfalls. Crimea will be incomplete without such places, where it is not modern spoiling that “rules the show,” but ancient, true values. Watch a short video about them in conclusion!
