Rock "Kamyana Bahachka" ("Petrified Bahachka"), located in the village of Ust-Putyla, is located to the left of the road.
It is a pyramid-shaped geological formation 30 meters high, 12 meters wide at the base.
"Kamyana Bahachka" is a very rare form of weathering in the Carpathians. The rock actually resembles the figure of a man, or rather a woman. Among local residents, her appearance is shrouded in a legend about an evil and wealthy woman who spared a small amount of money for a beggar who was dying of hunger. She was petrified as a punishment for her greed.
The Austrian colonists called the rock "Bishop" because the jagged top of the rock reminded them of a bishop's crown.
