Attractions of Sheshory

Silver waterfalls in Sheshory are one of the most famous and most visited waterfall cascades in the Carpathians.

The waters of the small Pistynka River (a right tributary of the Prut) overcome massive sandstone boulders here for several hundred meters, creating two parallel waterfalls 5 and 3 meters high (Velikyi and Malyi Huk). They got their name due to their powerful voice and the fact that the sprays sparkle very brightly in the sun.

From 2003 to 2006, the festival of ethnic music and folk art "Sheshory" was held here.

Silver Falls served as scenery for several films and video clips.

The wooden church of the Holy Great Martyr Paraskeva Pyatnytsya was built in Sheshory in 1874.

Currently, the landmark of Hutsul folk architecture of local importance has lost its authentic appearance - the church is almost completely covered with tin, wooden windows have been replaced with plastic ones.

The temple belongs to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

The Lebedyn mountain lake is located on the territory of the Hutsulshchyna National Park, 5 kilometers northwest of the village of Sheshory.

Located in the mountains at an altitude of 650 meters, surrounded by a beech forest.

The legend tells about how in the waters of Lebedyn Lake, a young man and a girl in love, whose parents were against their marriage, joined forever, like swans.

The area of the Lebedyn protected tract is 45 hectares. Many medicinal plants can be found here.
