3. Miskhorskaya Trail
Koreizskaya, or Miskhorskaya Trail, had been used for the transportation of ice since 1845. It was used for cooling wines at the Vorontsov Palace.
The ice was cut into pieces in the Trekhglazka Cave and moved down in giant packages with oxen. The trail is the shortest way from Ai-Petri plateau to the sea.

4. Silver Arbor
You can see this snow-white rotunda on the edge of the Pendicul Mountain. It is located on the long way to the top of Ai-Petri, the road Yalta — Bakhchisaray. The arbor was built in the honor of the builders of the Yalta — Ai-Petri — Bakhchisaray road.
In winter the arbor gets slightly covered with ice and gracefully shines in sunlight like it is covered with silver. That is why it is called silver.

5. Alupka-Isary and Biyuk-Isary forest trails
Forest trails Alupka-Isary and Biyuk-Isary lead to the places where the fortifications used to be in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In some places their rubble walls are still visible amid the wilderness of the nature reserve.
You can see the famous Mikhaylovsky Spring at the Alupka-Isary Trail. It was discovered in the 1840s. The water from this spring was used for the needs of the Vorontsov Palace for a long time as well as the ice from the Trekhglazka Cave.
