Mount Karachun

Natural object

Mount Karachun is a natural landmark of local importance. Translated from Turkic, "karachun" means "black death". There are many legends about the mountain.

Today, there is a large chalk quarry on Mount Karachun, and chalk tericones are produced nearby. From the mountain and the nearby chalk tericones, a wonderful view of Slovyansk and its surroundings opens up.

Until recently, on the feast of Ivan Kupala, fire dances were held on the mountain and flaming wheels were lowered from it.

Due to the strategic importance of Mount Karachun, its commanding height above the city of Slovyansk, and the location of the TV and radio transmission center on it, during the Russian-Ukrainian war, it became the object of a protracted military confrontation in April-July 2014. On the night of July 1, 2014, as a result of pro-Russian armed formations shelling Ukrainian positions on Mount Karachun, the TV tower was destroyed.

On December 5, 2016, a new TV tower was inaugurated on Mount Karachun.
