The Arbuzynsky Canyon near the village of Aktove is also called the Small Aktivsky Canyon, "Valley of the Devil".

The granite rocks that form the relief of the Arbuzynka River valley were formed 4 billion years ago as a result of volcanic activity (it is believed that the volcano has not yet cooled, so violets sometimes bloom on the rocks even in winter). Here you can meet pheasants, turtles, hawks, muskrats, moles, bison, wild boars and even deer.

Arbuzynsky Canyon is a part of the National Nature Park "Buzky Gard". It is often confused with the larger and more difficult-to-access Aktivsky Canyon ("Devil's Valley"), located on the Mertvovod River behind the village of Aktove.

The view of both canyons opens simultaneously from the rock "Navel of the Earth" - the highest point of the tract.

RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR

In the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion, employees of the Bashtanka Museum of Local Lore faced the problem of preserving the cultural values, the main collection, documentation and property of the institution. They continued to remove exhibits from the museum and bury them until the last moment, until a Russian military column entered Bashtanka on March 1, 2022.

After almost two months of hiding exhibits, at the end of April 2022, the museum managed to remove five thousand exhibits, which is almost half of the museum collection. The exhibits were sent to storage outside the Mykolaiv region. The most valuable are the works of art and the archive of artist Hryhoriy Dovzhenko, ethnographic materials (a collection of towels and clothing from the late 19th and early 20th centuries), collections of photographs and documents, etc.
