Excursion-camp Alimov Balka

Alimova Balka is one of the most mysterious and mystical places in Crimea. At the bottom of the Alim beam flows a clean spring with drinking delicious water.

The place is very beautiful and mysterious, such an atmosphere you will not find anywhere else in the Crimea. It seems to be incredible natural beauty, but it seems that everything here is frozen and quiet, even the birds sing somehow cautiously.

The place is unique in itself thanks to a stream murmuring at the bottom of the beam, crevices, caves. Alimova beam (gorge) is located on the Kacha River valley opposite to Kachi-Kalion. The length of the beam reaches 3.2 km, and the width at the mouth is approximately 320 m.

The name of the beam comes from the name of the legendary robber Alim, this is the so-called Crimean Robin Hood. He repeated the exploits of the English Robin Hood, took money from the rich, and gave it to the poor. There are so many legends around his deeds that it is difficult to find out the truth today.

According to locals, the spirit of Alim lives in the caves. Therefore, a truly strong, brave and highly spiritual person can safely pass the gorge.

Alimov Grotto is a very spacious place. According to archaeologists, this place was inhabited by cave people. They are indicated by the found petroglyphs - drawings of ancient people, made by ochre. It is assumed that their age is about 4 thousand years. The first picture shows two women performing a ritual dance. The second picture shows a rider who met with mysterious personalities. Such works are really impressive, but over time they disappear.

Another interesting and mysterious place - Alimov canopy - a settlement of people during the Stone Age. After conducting a series of archaeological excavations, scientists were able to find the bones of domestic pigs and conclude that Alimov canopy was the center of the Crimean pig breeding in the period 7-6 millennia BC.

During a walk along the trail from Bashtanovka, you can find a large stone under which a cave-digging is dug. This is a place of worship for the Gentiles. Scientists have dubbed it a “roadside sanctuary.” The stone is covered with original drawings and recordings in Arabic. At first glance, it may seem that these are banal inscriptions. However, the stone is shrouded in mystery, which lies in the meaning and sending of ancient messages. It is still impossible to decipher and unambiguously interpret them.

Next, you can find stones with notches that were used for construction purposes. Cave towns had holes for fixing logs that formed canopies from the rain.

It is enough to walk another 50 meters to try the purest water from the spring of Lower Kachnege. Water has a unique, unforgettable taste.

In the eastern part there is a cracked rock. According to local residents, in the sieve you can see the inner walls of the mountain. Such an opportunity must not be missed. Both sides of the crack are decorated with simple drawings made with brown brown paint. These are images of people, animals and ancient symbols.

At the top of the beam are "Tavra boxes" (dolmens) - stone mystical structures of the Taurus. Herodotus was the first to mention them. He also described the lifestyle of the Taurus. According to his writings, the Taurus feed themselves with plunder and war, worship the goddess Virgin, kill captured captives with a club, display the heads of their enemies, and throw their bodies into the abyss.

Constructions of massive stone blocks can be compared to boxes. The classic stone box of Taurus includes four slabs dug into the ground, forming its walls. At the top there is a fifth plate, like a lid. Most often, the wall of the box was built from several matched stones. The parameters of a stone box of medium size: more than a meter in length, a meter in width and about a meter in height. They were often surrounded by stones placed on the edge. The estimated weight of one stone is several tons. Still remains a mystery method of construction of these structures Taurus in ancient times. The period of construction of Taurian boxes - 6 - 5 centuries BC. Their second name is the Crimean dolmens. These are powerful places of power around which you can recharge energy, meditate, get answers to questions of interest.
