Attractions of Ust-Putyla

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.

The wooden church of Saint Paraskeva in Ust-Putyla was built in 1881.

It belongs to the type of three-part, three-headed temple common in the Bukovyna Carpathians. The monument embodies all the characteristic features of this type: faceted nave and apse and rectangular nave; widely spaced, almost equal in height tent domes with a pronounced interception at the base, sheathed with shingles, with a slope inward, girdled by a shallow belting of the wall. The folds of the tops in the interior contribute to the vertical opening of the space. The entire massive volume of log cabins turns into domes of heads, repeating the contours of the mountains surrounding the valley.

The belfry is located to the west of the church, vertically sheathed with tesserae, eight on four, with a tent ending.
