Crimea

The Crimean Mountains are a mountain range located on the Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine. This range consists of three parallel, flat-topped limestone ridges. The highest peak in the Crimean Mountains, and on the entire peninsula, is Mount Roman-Kosh, which stands at 5,069 feet (1,545 meters). The lower slopes of the mountains are forested, while the higher elevations are treeless. The southern coastal plain of Crimea, near these mountains, has a warm climate and is a popular resort area.12
