RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
"Starfall of Memories" is one of the most famous equipped viewing platforms in the Koktebel and Feodosia areas, and indeed in the whole Crimea. It may not be worth going specifically only to the observation deck, but the way to it passes through another attraction Mount Klementiev.
The "Starfall of Memories" is located on the top of Koklyuk Mountain with a height of 345 meters, it in turn is located on the outskirts of Uzun-Syrt Mountain, also known as Mount Klementiev. A gazebo has been built here, which was once beautiful and snow-white, but today, due to lack of proper care, it has become a little dilapidated. However, her condition does not affect the views that open from her. And you can see from above the long Klementiev mountain, along the slope of which beautiful colored paragliders fly like feathers in good weather; the valley and Lake Barakol; in the distance you can see Cape Chameleon, Koktebel settlement, Karadag mountain range. On the slopes of the mountain, the remains of two Neolithic settlements and the Taurian were discovered, but even if you find them, there is nothing to see there.
The gazebo appeared here in 1956, and was originally called the "Gazebo of the Winds." In 1988, the old and completely dilapidated gazebo was restored and changed its name to "Starfall of Memories". Of course, in this regard, they immediately came up with a legend: it is believed that if you come here at night and make a wish on a shooting star, the wish will definitely come true.
