The famous Kian Littoral is an endless sandy beach where the sea meets the land. It's a place where you can feel like you're on the edge of the earth.
Cape German.
Cape German is a real "edge of the world". A mysterious ship stranded on the shore is like the setting for an adventure movie. Find out its history and take unique photos.
Field lunch on the route (covered).
Cape Kekursky.
It's a place where time seems to have stopped. Harsh cliffs, endless expanses and the feeling that you are the first person to set foot here.
The abandoned Skorbeevsky garrison.

Field lunch on the route (covered).
We conclude our trip to the Peninsula with a visit to the famous "Black Mountain", the Musta-Tunturi range.
This name reflects the appearance of the ridge: dark rocks covered with lichens and mosses, which create a characteristic "black" hue.
Musta Tunturi is not just a geographical feature, but a place where history, nature and culture are intertwined.
