Bokhit Hillfort

Archaeological site

Bokhit (Bohyt) is an ancient pagan settlement on the mountain of the same name in Medobory. Some elements, such as the local dolmen, date back to the 6th-5th centuries BC, while the main buildings date back to the 9th-10th centuries.

The length of the settlement is 300 meters, the width is 50-100 meters. In the center of the temple, an eight-petaled figure with indentations on the edges was found, paved with stone. A similar object has an analogy with the elements of the Perun temple in Novhorod. A square earthen recess for the idol was discovered near the shrine.

In 1848, a Zbruchansky stone idol was found on the bank of the Zbruch River (Lychkivtsi village district), the origin of which is associated with the Bohit settlement. There is an opinion that after the baptism of Rus, most pagans left their lands and moved their spiritual center from Kyiv to these places. Confirmation of this theory is the presence of other hillforts nearby (Zvenyhorod, Hovda) and its satellites.

The "Medobory" Nature Reserve has developed a tourist route and laid an ecological trail through the hillforts.
