Author: Anatoly Brynza, Dnepropetrovsk. Bashnya Tower. Two easy routes in Crimea Bashnya (610 m above sea level) is located in the area of Sanatornoye village, on the eastern side of the highest peak in the area, Kilsé-Burun. In the 70s, it had the name "Tower above the camp". This is due to the fact that at that time there was water in the well in this area and on May and October holidays, many tent camps of climbers were located here. Now, unfortunately, there is no water. Bashnya consists of three peaks: Western, Central, and Eastern. Two very popular easy routes are laid on the Central peak:

• №1 "Truba" (2B)
• №2 "Cherep" (1A) The routes have a common lower part. The approach to the routes starts 400 m east of the houses located under Mt. Kilsé-Burun. There, a trail begins, leading to a fairly simple Bashenny couloir, separating Kilsé-Burun and Bashnya. It is quite easy to ascend to the yayla, as well as descend from it. The approach to the route takes 15–20 minutes. You can descend from the plateau in 30–40 minutes via the Bashenny couloir.
