A PROTECTED AREA WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE Crimea Ayu-Dag, Ayu-Dag[2][3] (Ukrainian: Аю-Даг, Crimean Tatar: Ayuv Dağ, Аюв Дагъ) is a mountain on the southern coast of Crimea, located on the border of Greater Alushta and Greater Yalta. It resembles a huge bear leaning toward the sea. And all the legends about Bear Mountain are associated with this animal.[4] The mountain's height is 570.8 meters above sea level[5], the mountain range is slightly elongated in a northwesterly direction for 2,400 meters, protruding into the sea for 2-2.5 kilometers. The total area is approximately 4 square kilometers. The Ayu-Dag complex is a nature conservation site.[6] Geological Origin Digital Elevation Model of Mount Ayu-Dag Ayu-Dag is a classic laccolith, or "failed" volcano. The mountain formed approximately 150 million years ago during the Middle Jurassic geological era as a result of magma intrusion into crustal faults. The Ayu-Dag complex is a massif of homogeneous gabbro-diabases, locally alternating with horizons of hornfels and hornfelsed rocks. To date, 18 minerals have been discovered on Ayu-Dag.[7] Flora and Fauna Main article: Ayu-Dag (Nature Reserve) The summit and slopes of Ayu-Dag are covered with shiblyak forest interspersed with small groves of Crimean pine.
