Route description

This walk begins at Uzenbash-Bogaz Pass and descends along the Iograf ridge side towards Yalta’s lower woodland approaches. It visits the separate Captain’s Bridge viewpoint, then continues downhill to a woodland-side finish. This is a descent from the pass; climbing to the start is outside the walk. Iograf’s cave complex lies higher and away from the start, so underground exploration is outside the programme. Rocky bends on the upper trail give way to a woodland road. The agency requires a contracted instructor-guide on Iograf and a permit for established routes. Agree this specific descent and its lower continuation to the exit with the guide.
