Greetings! I prepared for you an excursion with extreme ascent. There are far from all drivers, there are not all drivers, there are also such that the trip becomes entertainment for whom the trip. Undoubtedly, the route is memorable and picturesque - the higher you climb, the more admires the panorama of the southern shore of the Crimea.
Dear readers! The article was written a long time ago, but still in demand, so I constantly update it and I log in relevant information. Updated 04.01.2019
You can climb to Ai-Petri, you can four ways: on foot, on your own car, on a cable car or with carriers ( list of carriers in January 2019 in VC: https://vk.com/ai.petri?w\u003dpage-1728944_54122784). Each option has its pros and cons, but at least one needs to be used. For pedestrian routes There are in the network scheme.
Due to the lack of snow on crimean resorts In early January 2019, Plateau Ai-Petri became the most popular Moz for active rest. Hundreds of tourists posted their pictures in social networks from the snow-covered mountain: who is on sledgers who are skiing, and someone in a kilometer traffic jam.
January 2, 2019 On the Plateau Ai-Petri movement was paralyzed, there were wanders who climbed the summer tires (they had to pull them out).

Dear, watch the Weather Conditions in the Winter Time! If you do not care about yourself, think about children! Some sites rescue services can not get.
Clear your cars: 4x4, spikes or chains, full tank.
Current weather information on Ai - Petri: https://ru.snow-forecast.com/resorts/ay-petri/6day/mid or in the specified group in VK.
On January 4, 2019, 6 Avalanov left, the transport itself could not get out, caused heavy tape techniques and junctions for punching to stuck people. Avalanches covered a lot of transport.
Previously, to visit Ai-Petri, there was a checked rule: a rise to a plateau in a narrow serpentine to 12 hours of the day, descent - after 12 hours of the day. Now this rule, the autotourists ignore and create problems to themselves, other and rescue services.
Our ride on Ai-Petri took place in mid-March, lucky lucky - the snow congestion met only on the northern descent.
Mountain serpentine leading on the plateau, the most protracted and winding into the Crimea. Depending on weather conditions, some sites or the whole road can be closed, what a sign warns at the beginning of the way or posting. There are landslides, collaps and avalanches here.
The road T 0117 leads to a Petri Plateau, and then along the northern slope, through the Big Canyon of Crimea, in Bakhchisarai district. The second name is the old Yalta route.
On the way, there are springs, interesting rocks and the most famous waterfalls Crimea: (on the southern slope) and silver jets (on the northern slope).
With all confidence, it can be said that the road to Ai-Petri is one of the most dangerous roads Crimea, so tired drivers and beginners do nothing there!
At the top of Ai-Petri, we headed after a walk through the Yalta embankment in the afternoon. From the sea, the cold wind blew and I was afraid that at the top we frozen finally, but the opposite came around.
For those who do not know how Serpentine looks like on ai-petri map of our route.
View Larger Map
The second segment is closer to the Plateau real American slides with rotation 180 °.
As I already said, the trip took place at the beginning of the spring, so there were no foliage on the trees. In the middle of the way, we stopped to take a few photos, further such an opportunity was not presented due to the features of the route. There are "pockets", but they are better not to occupy, you never know who will fall on your head ...
Photo from the group VKontakte "Weather on Ai-Petri" was made on December 2, 2018. From the side of the Bakhchisaraya road on Ai-Petri is much worse, many pits.
In the network there was information that in the winter of 2019 there will be no way to close on Ai-Petri.
This year, Krymavtodore specialists decided to change the rule. The approaches to the mountain will establish meteorological stations that will predict the weather and the state of the roadway. This will give road users to react, handle the road and bring it into a working condition.
In March, in the forest, there are entire Poles of snowdrops, but the phrase "oh what flowers, let's stop" was clearly not relevant, so photographed what grew next to the road.
In some areas, the fence was completely absent. But my question: "Why there are no bumps?" A friend replied: "If we fly down, they will not help us." Thank you, reassured ...
It remained to wait when we rise to Ai-Petri. I thoughtfully imagined how the plateau looks like, because the last time I was there still years .... The fits ago. Having entered the mountain, left the cars on a free plot next to the administration of the meteorological station.
With the so-called sightseeing site, a clean space was opened - turquoise sky with glimpses of the Lazari drowned in the sea surface of the Black Sea. Evergreen shrubs and trees framed by their thickets Alupka and Koreaiz.
Silence and pacification flew in the air while under my legs ... .. and glass ranged.
In general, it is better not to watch down and until the fencing of the "species" site is not touched. This, then I realized that for the joy of tourists there is a completely different sightseeing site, and this, just like that, just in case ...
That is the fencing itself with the veil ornament. It is a pity that a little more, and it will fly into the abyss. How the sighting area without fence will remain ....
To the right away, the teeth of Ai-Petri are clearly visible, it is there who are the top station of the cable car, the most high Point 1234 m. And the cave three-page.
Right go - on the disassembly you will come.
This is such a "architectural" construction left after someone's delegity. Until 2011, there was a ski club at this place. Apparently, now these ruins will serve as prescurade.
Then it was quite sad. Customized "cafes" and trading tents with incomprehensible souvenirs who do not have anything in common with products of the Crimean masters. Special colorita national Kitchen Also did not notice, so I didn't go anywhere, I can't evaluate the proposed dishes.
Around the launch and chaos. Private houses, sheds, cafes, shalmans, construction. After 15 minutes you forget, for what kind of leishes you rose here.
In all cities are subbotniki, and the most famous mountain Crimea, due to complex lifting, remains away from civilization. There are not even the most ordinary garbage tanks.
"Highlanders" do not want to improve the territory due to unresolved land issues. Ecologists beat the alarm and urge to terminate economic activities in Ai-Petri, limit the capacity for the development of eco-tourism. It was just too late: many entrepreneurs work here for more than a dozen years. The circle was closed and now the whole hope for a new power that will take a rational decision so that the "wolves were full and sheep are intact" ....
On the edge of the cliff, another "architectural landmark". It was built with a different way so that it was from all windows and mountains, and the sea and the sun were visible.
On the faded signboard, the inscription cafe "Cheerful Roger", the best recipes of oriental cuisine.
Next to the "eastern cuisine" another species platform.
Here you can turn to the sea and distract from reality, but only in one direction, because from other sides, all the beauty of the plateau closes the construction and private houses.
Due to the features of the relief of Ai-Petri called Yayla - summer pasture. Since the old centuries, settlements were built on the plateau, but the largest "contribution" was made by Nomo Sapiens.
Back in 2014, the media reported that the Ai-Petri Plateau was put in order, the entire construction garbage was removed and there are no illegal buildings. Is it really more interesting ....
Perhaps the only object that is in its place is a monument to the Crimean partisans of the Great Patriotic Warwho died in battle in December 1941.
The road to Ai-Petri had important In times of World War II. It was according to her, the fascists moved troops and technique towards Sevastopol. The partisans managed to blow up the road and interfere with the enemy plans, but they all died in an unequal battle.
The price of incredible efforts of soldiers were able to protect their land, the memory of them should be transmitted from generation to generation, and not disappear under construction forests ...
Returning to the parking lot, we went on cars across the entire plane plateau.
The farther north, the snow becomes more. In lowlands, where the snow has not yet melted, snowboarders rode on the slopes. The first snow falls on Ai-Petri in October, and the steady layer is preserved from mid-December and until March-April.
And we had a protracted descent on the mountain serpentine towards the Bakhchisarian district. At the beginning of the road there was a rinse from snow and ice.
Before, with bad weather conditions For a private car, the road to Ai-Petri was overlapped by Yalta and from Bakhchisaraya. Everywhere dwied DPS. It is possible to climb to Ai-Petri on a rope or transport that carries out transportation.
Those who want to get to Ai-Petri can without difficulty finding the contact with the carrier (link above) on social networks. Comfortable transport is sent daily from Yalta.
The organizers of the shutter do not hide that the track is actually closed. At the same time, the carriers through DPS posts could not find out: "We have other moves. No matter how, but we will get. "
Approximately 35 km from the vertex of Ai-Petri, there is parking and tourist trail In the big Canyon of Crimea. I have already told about this route in your report.
Of course, in March there is not as interesting as in October.
Our March trip to Ai-Petri ended. Impressions remained ambiguous.
What happens on Ai-Petri in June 2018.
Between "mountaineers" and owners of cable the road goes rivalry for your client. I wonder what surprises the upper station of the lift on Ai-Petri. How events will develop, time will show. The article is updated all the time.
Crimea hotels on Buking. Under the form of a booking, be sure to install a tick in the column "I travel at work", because of the sanctions, Buking blocked the search for hotels in Crimea.
Thank you for attention!
Mount Ai-Petri, one of the most visited and famous sights Crimean Peninsula. The beauty of these mountain landscapes Words to describe difficult. Is it an artist, with a brush in his hands, it is subject to. Well, at worst, a good photographer. And better, come here, and all the charm and breathtaking spirit, feel yourself.
Name of Mount Ai-Petri translated as Saint Peter. Before the conquest of the Crimea by Tatars, was located on the mountain christian church St. Peter, in honor of him and was named the Mountain and Plateau.
Massover, tourists reached here at the end of the 19th century, after the road section was completed connecting the village of Sokolinic and Yalta, through the mountain of ah-Petri. The road was completed in 1894 and connected the southern and central Crimea. As a result - two major cities Yalta and Bakhchisaray received a direct message. The construction of a stone road has practically passed for about 30 years, and is still one of the most complex engineering projects of Crimea.
Attractions Mount Ai-Petri:
How to get to Ai-Petri by car
If you decide to get to Mount Ai-Petri by car, you should get to the Ai-Petrinsky Plateau, and from there to the i-Petri cable station. It is with her that begins to rise to the peak itself of the Mountain - to her tooths.
Ai-Petri teeth from the cable station leads a walking road. The duration of the route is about 30 minutes, without high drops in height. The cost of foot lifting to the tooth -100 rubles. Payment - at the entrance to the path.
Ai-Petri
Mount Ai-Petri Mountain The teeth are considered, their height from the base to the top is 1234 meters. In addition to teeth beautiful species, There are two extreme entertainment that can rinse your nerves, but are absolutely safe. All security rules are met and almost every element of extreme entertainment has two levels of insurance.
The most interesting, on my taste is the suspension road between the teeth. The passage on it very tickles the nerves, under his feet through the gaps there is a huge failure, with sharp rocks and tops of trees. After passing the cable car on Ai-Petri, you can safely put yourself in the category of extremals. Price walking 500 rubles. The average transition duration is 10-15 minutes.
If you still decide for a walk, it's best to do it in a pair, one goes along the path, the second from the end point of the route makes photos and videos, and then change. That is how you will get more successful pictures for memory.
Although it is a little longer in time than to go for each other, but you can save a little time - making a queue for the first person, immediately take the queue for the second. In order to have time to go through, and the second to take pictures and have time to in line, you should make a break between people in 6-7 people.
The second extreme route is descent to the cable car station, on the suspension cable. The descent to pass very quickly and fun, the cost of descending is 1000 rubles. The safety of the route is also at the highest level. Both extreme attractions work from April to September a month inclusive.
Going away from the teeth, you fall on the most lively part of the plateau, the market and a large number of cafes, canteens and restaurants. Food at the plateau is mostly Tatar: Pilaf, Chebureks, Lagman, lamb kebabs and so on. Also, if you want, you can find both European cuisine. Prices in catering establishments are very different. Therefore, if you walk and look a little, you can pick up the menu and the price tag is acceptable for you. Due to the large number of tourists, it is almost always fresh and tasty, but quite fat, although the choice of dishes is quite big and everyone can find something acceptable for themselves. Almost in all cafes and restaurants offer wine tasting. Almost, all wine or homemade, or bought on wine plants Crimea. In most institutions, wine is quite low quality, with large quantity Dyes. Therefore, if you want a high-quality drink, we ask for a wine spilled in the factory, with an excise stamp. This option will be the best for your body.
A little lower than the gazebo of the winds is a waterfall of student-su, he is the highest Crimean waterfall and one of the most high waterfalls in Europe. In the literal translation from the Turkic, the name is translated as "flying water". The height of the student-su -Okolo 99 meters, the maximum peak of the activity of the waterfall, falls on the spring, from the beginning of March to mid-April. In the summer, student-sob turns into a relatively small stream, but it does not prevent him from looking gracefully and attractive. More details
In addition to all the above-described attractions of Ai-Petri still follow one of the most beautiful mountain roads Stantheev trail. The trail originates a little lower than the waterfall of Stude-Su, but the most convenient to rise precisely to the waterfall, it is on foot 120 meters along the road up and, you have a large signpost - butt trail, with a description of the route. The route of the Standard trail, passes over the waterfall of Stude-Su (you can approach the waterfall) by picturesque valleys Ai-Petri and gradually the Stantheev trail goes to Botkinskaya and smoothly through coniferous forests descends to Yalta, namely to the zoo fairy tale. Average walking time in the Stepgeevskaya and Botkin trail 4-6 hours. The entire route is labeled with color labels, it is very difficult to get off the path. Throughout the route, people will meet, trails are very popular and well drowning with thousands of tourists.
Rising to Plateau Ai-Petri On the cable car, you have a choice how to go back. It can be descended as well as rose, but in the summer, the queues are very large and you can simultaneously sleep in them. Therefore, as options can be descended by bus or route taxi. But it should be noted that the driver is directly hatched to quickly go down and raise the peristers. From this directly depends on their earnings. In general, this is also a kind of extreme-walk. But despite this, all drivers are sure to stop on a silver gazebo and a waterfall of student-su.
How to schedule aide ai-petri
Planning a visit to Ai-Petri visiting by car - in my opinion, it is better to start with a visit to a large canyon, the cost of the entrance is 100 rubles. You can also offer guides - from 1000 rubles. The guys are very funny, but in essence, almost useless. It's very difficult to get off the route. There are only two trails for which people rushed all the time, even in winter. A walk takes about 2-3 hours together with swimming in the bathroom youth.
The big Canyon of Crimea is located at the very beginning of the rise to the mountain of Ai-Petri, from the side of Bakhchisaraya. If you eat with Southern shore Crimea - you have several options: drive around ahi-petri, through Sevastopol, then minimize on Bakhchisarai, and in front of him to go to Ai-Petri. Or through the Ai-Petrinsk Plateau climb to the top of ah-petri, cross all the plateau and go down to the foot from Bakhchisaraya. From Yalta to the Big Canyon about 2 hours of driving, if traveling - it will be somewhere as well
Next after visiting Big Canyon It is necessary to climb the plateau again, go to the teeth, go down to eat in a cafe. After the cafe, you can choose an equestrian walk or visiting the cave trial. Equestrian walk on average to do from 800 rubles. at one o'clock. You will also offer a walk on quad bikes and other entertainment, cost, approximately everywhere the same.
Going away from Ai-Petri towards Yalta. The first stop on your way will be a silver gazebo. Visiting is 100 rubles .. then the waterfall is slightly lower about 15-17 km., Waterfall Stude-Su. Also 100 rubles.
The whole walk is designed with the departure from Yalta at 9:00 for a whole day, if you go on the proposed route, then by 20: 00- 21:00 you will return to Yalta again.
If you are going to visit Ai-Petri, then you need to pay attention to comfortable shoes, sneakers or sneakers, take warm things, because the temperature difference is Yalta - Ai-Petri can be up to 10 -15 s and be sure to take water with them. If you are swinging through the serpentine, you can take pills from the damp in the pharmacy. Their cost is very low, but the effect is quite good.
Winter on Ai-Petri Life does not freeze. In winter, the Hat-Petri hat is usually covered with snow from January to February. And winter sports originated on this basis: skiing, wildlife and sledding. Almost all winter roads of the Crimea are on the Ai-Petreno Plateau. The most popular tracks are 25.26, 27 kilometers, laboratory. All tracks are almost in the middle of the plateau, you can get to them on the way Yalta Bakhchisarai. The road is one and "miss" - it is impossible. Only in winter it is cleared of snow. In winter, the lift to the mountain is mostly opened only with full-wheel drive cars and on winter tires. During the snowfall, travel on Ai-Petri is partially closed on little time From the side of Yalta and with Bakhchisaraya.
If you are planning to rest in the Crimea, it does not matter what time of year, be sure to visit the mountain ah-Petri, it is one of the most beautiful.
But for some reason, thoughts were constantly returned to the mountain of ai-petri. I decided not to oppose the inner feeling and share today my impressions and, of course, photographs of Ai-Petri.
The morning began as usual, breakfast, shower, etc. We did not build any plans for this day. Anton and Camilla was lying on the sofa and watched the TV, and I did not leave the feeling that you need to go somewhere or go. Since we did not know almost nothing about Yalta, I won on the Internet about local attractions. And my choice fell on Mount Ai-Petri. Anton was not delighted with what needs to go somewhat somewhere, on this day he was too lazy and he wanted to just sit at home. But I made convincing him to gather. The only thing that embarrassed me was, in all reviews that I read about Ai-Petri, everyone strongly recommended to take with them warm things that were not in and large. We thought how to go to the store and buy something, or not bother. As a result, they took with them a pair of socks, spare T-shirts and sweathers daughter.
We did not have time to come out of the house, how suddenly the rain began, which with each minute intensified until I turned into a real shower. We only managed to rinse under the roof of the store, as our eyes were flooded with water, as in one of the children's songs "... Pedestrians on the puddles, and the water on the asphalt river." That is what we watched. It seemed that even the weather against our trip and would have to go home.
But after twenty minutes later I began to merge, and we drove our rainfirs and decided to at least reach the store, since I went out into the street.
On the way, on the central street of Yalta, we saw a woman selling excursions and decided more to persist her about Ai-Petri. From her, we learned that excursions to the mountain depart at three in the afternoon, in order for visibility from the mountain better. We were delighted, because on the clock there was only an hour of the day. It meant that the day is not yet lost and everything should work out. We did not advise any particularly warm clothes and was also encouraging. Yes, and the weather at this point has already improved, the sky clarified. The price of a man's excursion accounted for 700 rubles, including a ticket for a funicular, but without food and the cost of entry into the protected area. By time, the excursion lasts 5 hours, taking into account the road back and back to Ai-Petri. Thanks, we went to the bus station, reasonably deciding that it was still cheaper to get to Ai-Petri. And the time will be more so as not to hurry to inspect. In general, as I understood, to all the attractions of Yalta and the surrounding area, you can get on buses from this station. 
Small lifehak: If you come to Yalta on the bus, being on the bus station do not rush to leave him right away. Since from the same bus station go all suburban buseswho will take you to all attractions. You need to go to the other side of the station, where the suburban goes from and there to find out which buses you need and how much is the ticket.
On the bus station, it turned out that the bus was a bus at number 102, the fare of 25 rubles. Even before Ai-Petri goes the bus at number 32.
The road takes about 40 minutes. You need to go before stopping the "Cable Car". The only minus bus trips - it is scored by people under the urban and what air conditioners do not go about and speech. It was for this reason that we missed one bus, which was already full and waited for the next, where they took seats. With a child, it is more than relevant, judge for yourself. 
While we were driving, through the window of the bus glomilly saw the castle "Lastochka nest" and still beautiful palace Eastern style called "Dulber". Run forward to say that in Swallow nest We visited, but in the palace "Dulber", unfortunately, no.
But finally, and our stop. We did not have time to go out, as the voices of taxi drivers were immediately collapsed on us, offering to take away from Petri. As for me, this is not the most successful way to find a client. Without giving people to even look around and so intrusive offering their services, it does not cause anything other than desire to get rid of them and leave. What, in fact, we did. The entrance and cash desk on the cable car is right at the stop. But it is difficult to understand how they are closed by trading rows with different souvenirs. The correct direction indicated to us the most taxi drivers 🙂 The ticket to the funicular costs 250 rubles per person in one direction, in our case up. Children's ticket 100 rubles (up to 7 years old), just in one direction. Someone on the contrary, goes to the top by taxi, and back goes down on the funicular or rides on the funicular there and back. 
The booths go quite often and wait not more than 5-10 minutes. 
When our group entered the landing platform before we appeared mountain Ai-Petri in all its glory. 
And somewhere far, a small color point, a cable car, on which we had to go to the top of this mountain moved to her gray background. Well, here we are in the booth, and climb everything higher and higher.
And at the bottom replace each other different types, then coniferous trees, then grape plantations.
In the cabin, enthusiastic and even frightened exclamations are heard. Someone is really scary at such a height. But this is only the beginning of the path, in the middle we were waiting for a transplant to another cabin of the funicular. So where do really fascinating views begin. The rudder cliff is approaching the closer, I decided that it was time to start shooting videos.
All, we are in place! Everyone with relief fell out of the funicular and did not have time to translate the Spirit, turned out to face the face with a magnificent panorama, which captured the Spirit. 
In addition, we decided to rise even higher, on the rocks "Zubets". To do this, you need to go through the market, past the set of cafes, the names of which are trying in all ways to lure you inside. But we persistently passed by these mouncing and teasing flavors, and species, although saliva oh, how to flow 🙂
In order to climb these "teeth" of one desire, as it turned out, little. Rocks "Teeth" are part of mountain forest natural Reserve And the entrance is paid there. 
For each of us they took 100 rubles, the child is free. By the way, the owners of horses, where you can arrange an equestrian walk along the reserve. By the way, at this point it became cloudy, although it was still hot. I was as in T-shirt and remained in her. We started our climb, the time on the way is really 15-20 minutes, strictly up. The road is quite complicated, throughout the path the stones and the roots of trees make it difficult for the way.
Therefore, it is necessary to be in a comfortable sports shoe, which has never been useful to us this time. In general, there is good, the most painful mountain air, silence, only a complex lift prevents fully in full measure.
Finally, we are on the top. Views are awesome, we are really very high that even becomes a little scary. But it does not prevent us from photographing and photograph.
There, where the figures of people are visible, we climbed. Rock "Tissues"
Suddenly Anton laughed and showed for her daughter. The face of the face on his head stood on end, in the literal sense! I, however, too.
As it turned out, it was a harbinger of a very close thunderstorm. Meanwhile, the sky above our heads is becoming darker and lower. And suddenly, it louded so that we almost deafley !!! The people around frightened not for a joke, and we too. Without stopping the rumble from the sky, it was raining, everyone rushed down under the saving protection of trees. We run on the run to hide phones with a camera in a backpack, stretching on a child and rainflakes, while fearing, no matter how to roll themselves the neck on wet and slippery stones, and that zipper can not be fried. The emission of adrenaline was not weak. But everything went around and we continued the descent down, under the incessant rain. It was very difficult to descend. Not only are the stones and the roots of the trees were slippery, so also the earth slid. That's where we were useful and served good service. By the time we descended, the rain was over, and we were tired of the order, frozen and hungry. Here we used the services called and decided to relax, and dine. 
I can not write about the fact that we ate and drank on Ai-Petri. The cafe on which we stopped our choice belongs to Tatars, as well, and everything is in the territory of Ai-Petri, as far as we understood. Taxi drivers, traders on the bazaarchik, cafes - everywhere Tatars. I do not know why they are engaged exclusively. Naturally, only oriental dishes were in the menu. We ordered a kebab, shurp and pilaf. 
It would seem that here is this, in any city of Russia, in any cafe can be found the same set. But! Here dishes were properly prepared, as it should. I have long dreamed of a kebab from beef with melting pieces in your mouth, which I used only in Tashkent. Who tried, I will understand 😉 and finally, my dream came true! This kebab was exactly the same, mmm, fingers license. 
So, I remembered the saliva flowed 🙂 hot shuffle, pilaf, cake, green tea in the glands - this is exactly what we needed to warm up and relax. By the way, while our order was preparing, for us there was a free tasting of home wines and Chaqi private production. Of course, we are not gourmet, in wines, frankly, do not really understand. We liked the Red Dessert Wine "Black Commander". The cost of one bottle was 500 rubles, but pretty frozen we bought 1, 5 liters of wine for 350 rubles. Although, most likely, we still inflated a little, who knows 🙂 and another interesting moment, we were so pleased with good service and consumers that we were pleasantly surprised. But everything fell into place when they brought an account. Attention: in the total amount of the account, 10% of the service were included, be ready for this. Nevertheless, we gladly drank this wine, ate delicious dishes and a peace was condensed to us so nice to sit down on the pillows and drink tea, wine. 
For a long time I did not want to leave, but already in the evening and it was time to gather. When we went out, Anton offered to go back to the lower visor area, where we went. Views from this site are no less impressive.
We could not leave, everyone photographed, watched, photographed again.
At some point we noticed that there were alone on this site. Apparently everyone went to the last funicular, which from the top station leaves at 18.00. This only pleased, around anyone, silence, space and a breathtaking height.
But all when it ends, we had to say goodbye to Ai-Petri and descend down. To do this, we used the services of taxi drivers and for 400 rubles, for two, we were brought to the house. 
I must say that the road down goes through the serpentine and it is very narrow. Before you go, we specially agreed with the driver that he will stop the Lake and Waterfall of Study-Su. We have visited the lake, even scored a key water near him. 
But the waterfall decided not to go. Since our driver explained to us that at this time of the year the waterfall practically dries. The most peak of power and beauty waterfall is gaining in the spring, during the melting period of snow, and in the fall, during the rain period.
I thought about myself that it would be a good reason to once again visit the mountain ah-Petri. This place was very sank to my heart.
Among the most popular man-made wonders of the Crimea, one of the first places is occupied by the famous cable car Mishahhor-Ai-Petri. Its features - the presence of the most extended insanid area with a length of 1670 m and an angle of lifting at 46 degrees - provided her place in the book of Records Guinies.
Work on the creation of the road was started back in 1967 and lasted about 20 years! It took a lot of time to adjust steel ropes, but at the project implementation stage there was an unforeseen circumstance - the ropes dropped right on the rocks. The output was two: or destroy rocks, or change the project. Fortunately, the designers could not encroach on beauty and changed the project.
In the winter of 1987, the Accepting State Commission accepted the work, and in May of the same year, the first passengers were appreciated. Since then, the cable car on Ai-Petri has become a favorite attraction of all tourists. It works year-round, stopping for prevention for only a few weeks in February. For all the time of her work, the accidents were not, only once, in 2013, the trouble happened when the power supply was turned off. Nobody suffered, but since then the funicular is served by its own autonomous power plant. In addition, in the same year, the steel rope was replaced with a new one, so I-Petri's cable car 2019 meets in excellent condition.

Legend of Ai-Petri
One of the legends about Mount Ai-Petri is connected, of course, with the wind. In time immemorial, the great ocean gave birth to a huge mountain with teeth on top. At the very top was so beautiful and sunny that there was a mighty king of winds. Very loved the king to frolic and play with the clouds: to disperse them, form the bizarre images of them. But, as they say, for the wind of the game, for a person - solid misfortunes and destruction. Wake-up winds annually applied a huge damage to settlements by the sea. Then, then people agree with the winds, and gathered advice. Long consulted the wisest representatives of the tribes. At the same time, the most quiet warrior named Peter, said he knows how to conquer the wind. The elders just laughed at that, and advised young war to grow up and not clever. Then Dark Night Peter alone headed to the most peak of the mountain in the monastery of the winds. Having found the top of the Tsar winds, Peter said that from now on, the winds will serve a person. The king of winds was angry and blew with all his might. Peter imperceptibly pulled the bull bubble because of his back, he scored the air, and Peter broke away from the ground. Mobbled was not frightened, but descended from the mountain as hot-air balloon, skillfully managing them. Then I understood the king of the winds that people deceived him, and were able to curb the element. Mountain has since been called in honor of St. Peter, who was able to curb the wind and taught people to skillfully use his energy.
