Vysokohirne (Ukrainian: Високогірне; Russian: Высокогорное) is a rural settlement in the Yalta municipality of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[2]

Previously, the settlement was known as the Tuzler village (Crimean Tatar: Tüzler). Following the forced deporation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[3]

Vysokohirne is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 695 metres (2,280 ft).[1] The settlement is located 7 km (4.3 mi) southwest from Livadiya, which it is administratively subordinate to.[2][4] Its population was 137 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[2]
