Journey to the White Rock
Almost in the middle of Crimea, between the main mountain range and the endless steppes, rises extremely unusual rock. Its height above sea level is 325 m, altitude difference between the valley and the top of the cliff - 100 meters. Today you had the chance to visit and see its wonderful views with the author of the report.
Since Soviet times, this place was chosen by filmmakers to make a film about the American West Indians and not only - at different times of the White Rock filmed "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines", "Mustang-pacer", "leader of the Redskins," "Mirage" "Cipollino", "armed and dangerous", "Cabbages and Kings", "Lobo", "money-changers", "Wonderful Valley," "The Headless Horseman", "Aircraft flying in Russia", "The Witches Cave", "Escape at the end of the world "," Apocalypse Code "and others.
White Rock is located in Belogorsk region of the Crimea over the river valley Bink-Karasu. If you get to it from the north, it is not right and understand that the guides to the incredible cliff - going through the steppe road, transshipped through the hills and suddenly ... you under the steep wall. From the south, the rock looks exactly as in the photo - from left to right Ak-Kaya, on the right - Mount Adzhilar. Between them, the top is crumbling winding road on which earlier and climbed the plateau. Now there is a paved road to the right of Adzhilara, from which branches off the top of the primer is already passing along the edge of almost Adzhilara and Ak-Kaya.Belaya rock was formed by erosion and weathering of Cretaceous limestones and sandstones of the many thousands of years. If you stand just below the rock - at the foot of the mound can be seen very well what was once a rock wall
The plateau on the hill Adzhilar. Here, at the foot of Adzhilara and further, in the cavity between it and the Ak-Kaya and filmed those same movies, of which I said at the beginning
The views from the mountain plateau Adzhilar
The geometry of the fields
Here is a giant relay
At the foot of the White Cliffs it was not built in one town with the decorations for the shootings. All that you have seen, for example, in "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines" was located in this place under a rock.
The views from the White Cliffs
The tip of the rock wall. A feeling that someone just cut off all the excess with a knife
The height is about 325 meters above sea level
Old road that led to the rock. Today it is possible to climb the only well-prepared SUV.
. Faults in the top of the plateau. Here in general a lot of faults, natural grottos and caves
The rock wall is White Rock. At the bottom is clearly visible scree created by wind
Once these "small" pieces fall off and fly down with a crash
At the foot of the White Cliffs in the '70s, it was excavated about 20 sites of prehistoric man Mousterian. And near the ancient centers found a large amount of fossil remains of extinct fauna of the Crimea: a mammoth, cave bear and a giant deer, saiga, the primitive bull, wild horse, onager, and others.
One of the fractures in the rock wall
. But once it was the seabed. Yes, it is hard to believe, but true. That here and there under their feet caught here are blocks of stone that consists entirely of fossilized seashells
Shellfish, frozen in stone
In some places, it's just a piece of rock
Some shellfish have themselves become stones
White Rock, view from the road. Such sees it, most people passing by.
Layer Cake, created by wind and time ...
