General information about Maiaky

The village Mayaki is located on the right bank of the Siversky Donets River near the town of Sloviansk (15 km).

Founded in 1663 as a watchtower fortress of Muscovy on the southern border (Mayatsky prison). According to one version, the name of the village came from the tower (lighthouse), which was built on the highest hill above the river Siversky Donets, which housed a barrel of resin and firewood, and during the approach of enemy hordes Cossack guards set fire to barrels and a black signal pole. smoke warned of the danger.

Not far from the village of Mayaki are the botanical natural monument of national importance "Mayatska Dacha" and "Tsarine Horodishche", which is an outstanding archaeological monument of 9-13 centuries.

Село Маяки розташоване на правому березі річки Сіверський Донець неподалік міста Слов'янськ (15 кілометрів).

Засноване в 1663 році як сторожова фортеця Московії на південному кордоні (Маяцький острог). За однією з версій, назва села пішла від вишки (маяка), яку спорудили на найвищому пагорбі над річкою Сіверський Донець, на якій кріпили бочку зі смолою та дровами, а під час наближення ворожих орд козацькі сторожові роз'їзди підпалювали бочки і чорний сигнальний стовп диму попереджав про небезпеку.

Неподалік від села Маяки розташовані ботанічна пам'ятка природи загальнодержавного значення "Маяцька дача" та "Царине городище", яке є видатним археологічним пам'ятником 9-13 століть.
