Sokil Mountain

Natural object , Reserve

Sokil Mountain rises above the village of Karachkivtsi to the south of the village of Smotrych. This is the highest point of the Dunaivtsi region (348 meters) and one of the highest peaks of the Podilski Tovtry ridge.

In 1989, on the territory of 42.9 hectares, a landscape reserve of national significance "Sokil" was created here, which is part of the National Nature Park "Podilski Tovtry". Among the rare species of plants here grow dogwood, hawthorn, rosehip, juniper, thorn, Podilsk onion, white sedge, hairy hemlock, which is included in the Red Book of Ukraine.

Sokil Mountain is a nesting place for eagles.

Halfway to the top of the mountain are ancient caves. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the length of their passages exceeded 150 meters. Small rooms are formed inside the caves. According to legend, the robber Boyan hid treasures in these caves, the prototype for which was most likely the Polovtsian Khan Bunyak (Solodyvy Bunyo).
