Buky Canyon

Spend the weekend far from the city

The amazing place in Ukraine to hike, to camp, to climb, to take photo, to swim

Canyon

It's located in the heart of Ukraine, about 180 km away from Kyiv to the south and 30 km away from Zhashkiv.

This canyon is relatively small, approximately 5 km (or 3 miles) long, 20 m (22 yd.) deep and from 20 to 40 m wide. It was formed by the Hirs’kyi Tikych river in the crystalline rocks of the Ukrainian shield. These Precambrian granitic rocks create a picturesque landscape in the form of steep cliffs and tumultuous rapids. Experienced travelers say that Buky rocks are very similar to the famous Norwegian fjords.

The canyon is especially beautiful in spring and autumn when banks of the river are covered in green or fall colors.
