Tsar's Path

The Tsar's Path (Russian: Царская тропа) or the Solnechnaya Tropa (Russian: Солнечная тропа) is a scenic walking path that runs along the edge of the Crimean Mountains near the city of Yalta.

The path starts out at the Livadia Palace and runs west to its finish at the Swallow's Nest in nearby Gaspra.

The path was built in 1861 by for recreational use by the Russian Tsar Alexander III near his Crimean resort at the Livadia Palace.

The path runs for 6.35 kilometres (3.95 mi) at an average of 150 metres (490 ft) above sea level.

[1] The path was constructed with no major gradient changes and laid completely horizontally, despite its location among the rugged Crimean terrain, as differences in elevation will have an adverse effect on those with medical conditions.
