Its charm is in no way inferior to such promoted regions as the Carpathians or the Crimea. Uniqueness of this trip is due to picturesque landscapes: steep rocky or afforested banks of 200 m high, travertine rocks, geological outcrops, caves and grottos, waterfalls and marvelous islands. All this is untouched and wild nature that gives silence and solitude.
This region is peculiar in terms of the weather – canyon banks preserve sun warmth, therefore there are no rains here in summer and in spring everything is blooming 2-3 weeks earlier than anywhere in this region.

God (Boh) – that is how Ukrainian ancestors called this beautiful river. Maybe that was not groundless… Southern Buh – modern name of the river – is the 3rd biggest river in Ukraine, that flows across central and southern regions (steppe and forest-steppe area). Southern Buh is known for its rapids that were formed due to the geological formation – Ukrainian crystal shield.
Landscape park of Pobuzhzhya is located there. The rapids of the river were used by Ukrainian Cossacks and nowadays there are 2 the most dangerous and difficult rapids - “Myhiya” and “Hard”. It becomes more and more popular among tourists for rafting and the rocks are very suitable for rock-climbing trainings.
