Pedan Hike
The southern part of the Primorsky is saturated by beautiful natural objects. But not many of them are rumoured and legends such as Mr. Pidan, located nearby. Partisansk (in principle, in a few hours of ashes from the Lukjanovka railway station, on well-built trails and the ground road). According to a huge number of tellers, the peak of Pidan is hidden by the ancient Temple of Atlants, the slopes of the mountain are a mystery bird with a human face!
The very name of the mountain in the translation from the vengeance of local Aboriginals means 'Camni filled by the gods', streaming its beginning on the mountains has a miracle power, et cetera.

The local population of Lukjanowki belongs to tourists, in general, friendly (although the car is hired, the potatoes are bought) and somewhat ironic. For them, Pidan is a mountain that's known from childhood, and it's as unexplained as it is in a rusty cat. In the course of communication with the local population, it became clear that the road to the bottom of the parking lot before climbing to the top is that at least you go on the limo (the crowds of our predecessors did their business) and, in general, if we get lost, we can wait to meet or follow our travellers. On this optimistic note, we're on our way.
The road to the truth was a pleasure. In principle, we were lucky, one of the members of our group was already on the top, and with sin, he was oriented in the direction of movement (the most difficult was not...
