The river Dnister


dnestr dnestr1

The river Dnister is 1362 km long, with 705 km located on the territory of Ukraine. The Dnister flows out of the Northeast slopes of the Ukrainian Carpathian mountains in the Lviv area and carries its waters through Ukraine and Moldova to the Black sea. On the picturesque banks of the river there are unique historical and natural sights - castles, monasteries, churches, ruins of ancient settlements, falls, sources of curative waters, rocks, grottoes and caves. As the valley of Dnister has been populated by ancient settlements from ancient times, it has much more historical monuments, than many European rivers.

Bouchach

Buchach2

Bouchach laid on so-called " Volosky Way " which went along Dnister from the South Europe. The most ancient memorial in Bouchach is the remains of the castle built by Ukrainian feudal lords Buchanski on the place of the older strengthening. The remaining walls and towers are of the 16th century. Walls (up to 3,5 m. thick) had 3 circles of detours with loopholes for firearms. The strongest semicircular wall with two towers faces the Zamkova Street of the town. The fortress also comprises the Renascence palace, probably, built on the place of an older construction. The palace was decorated with galleries with arcades. In the middle of a court yard there was a fountain.

Chervonograd is princely city of 11-st century which now cannot be found on any map, ancestral lands of Korjatovichi, Danilovichi and Buchanski magnates. It is fortified and decorated with the nature itself. Red ground under your feet, red lacet of the road, a real mountain one, which leads you to an ancient bridge, red as well, over  small streamlet, green crater of woods around you, 16-meter high waterfall, the highest one on plains Ukraine and the final chord - snow-white ruins of fine castle. It seems this beauty is not real, and can only be seen on pictures in bright guidebooks

   Red Mountain

This place is called «Dnister’s subtropics » as the local climate is always 1-2 degrees warmer, than in environs. In winter, snow does not remain on the mountain longer than two days. Formerly, this area was covered with vineyards, but national struggle with alcoholism in the middle of 80th has caused irreparable damage to plantations.
Interested people can climb the Red Mountain with instructor to look at a canyon from the top.
