Description	Deutsch: In den Fels gehauene Höhlen in der ehemaligen Festungsstadt Çufut Qale auf der Krim, Ukraine. English: Cave in the ruins of the old city of Çufut Qale sometimes spelled as Chufut Kale, a historic fortress in Crimea, near Bakhchisaray. Its name is Crimean Tatar and Turkish for "Jewish Fortress" (çufut/çıfıt - Jew, qale/kale - fortress). Çufut Qale was historically a center for the Qaray (karaïts of crimea) community. In the Middle Ages the fortress was known as Qırq Yer (Place of Forty) and as Karaites to which sect the greater part of its inhabitants belong, Sela' ha-Yehudim (The Rock of the Jews).
