It has appeared the solvable task, and soon we have found the quite capacious microbus, where we could contain all our things and besides sit there. It is a little more time and we already on the Crimean road went in the direction of Ai-Petri plateau. This road (Bakhchisarai - Ai-Petri - Yalta) was constructed per 1865-1894 years. Its some parts passed on old Crimean roads, some other parts were made on new places. Approximately from to middle of 70 years this road has ceased. Now basic driving in Crimea is carried out on new road, which has passed through Angar saddle-point.

The old road has played a large role in mastering Crimea. The part of this road passes through Ai-Petri plateu and sometimes winter happens is brought by snow on the opened places of plateau or immovable landslip at transiting the road in mountains. In this case road is cleared away by powerful tractors. But our driving on serpentine road Bakhchisarai - Ai-Petri descended in rather safe time, how in May snowfalls and the immovable landslips represent a rather infrequent phenomenon, and in 1,5 hours after departure from Simferopol we dropped in to Ai-Petri.

It is necessary in this case to stop, what such is perceived the word " Ai-Petri "? This concept so polyhedrally, that contains in itself set of different concepts.

Ai-Petri it is both top of the plateau and huge trident disposed opposite to this top reaching altitude of 1234 meters above sea level, on which it is possible to get only with the help of climbing accommodatings and climbing experience. The word Ai-Petri perceive also plateau, both enclosing this trident and top and were in direct from them of affinity. In what put concept to word "Ai-Petri". The plateau in its separate places reaches an altitude of 1200-1250 meters, that is the tops Ai-Petri not much lower. Our tourist basis was at the altitude 1170 meters in several kilometers from the top of Ai-Petri plateau. The plan of Ai-Petri plateau is exhibited in fig. 1.
