I want to tell you about one of the most interesting places in Ukraine. These are Dovbush rocks. I was there two years ago.

Dovbush rocks are a fascinating combination of natural wonders and man-made creations located in Ukraine’s

Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.

These rocks are named in honor of the legendary folk hero Oleksa Dovbush. According to the legend, his gold was

hidden somewhere under the rocks.

Oleksa Dovbush is compared with a famous English folklore character – Robin Hood.

The rocks lay in the beech forest. In the sunshine days the forest turns into a magical place.

There are many interesting places in the rocks, such as a gorge, through which you can squeeze only if you are in

good physical shape.

A trip to Dovbush Rocks is a good idea for travelers who want to spend one day at the mountains without long hikes

and extra physical efforts.

You will get a lot of pleasant emotions while hiking and jumping from rock to rock.

Many places on the rocks are quite dangerous, be very careful!
