Cossack Becket

Historic area

The reconstructed Cossack becket is located on a hill above Samara near the village of Vasylivka.

Cossack observation posts in the form of wooden towers, from which observers controlled the surrounding steppes, were called bekets. Beckets also served as signal baths - in case of danger, signal fires were lit on them.

A beautiful view of the Samara forest opens from the becket near Vasylivka. A wooden cross is installed nearby.
