Attractions of Bukovets

The rock of Pysanyi Kamin (Written Stone) is a famous monument of nature, history and culture. Huge blocks of sandstone, up to 20 meters high, form a flat platform that offers a stunning view of the surrounding mountains.

The Pysanyi Kamin is an ancient pagan sanctuary where a sacred fire burned in ancient times. Many drawings (petroglyphs) and inscriptions remained on the surface of the rock over the millennia, which is where the name of the natural monument comes from.

Ivan Franko, Lesya Ukrainka, and Mykhaylo Kotsyubynskyi often visited here.

The "Ternoshorska Lada" rock in the Ternoshory tract north of the village of Bukovets, on the outskirts of the village of Snidavka, is better known as "Dovbush's Head".

The forest reserve "TractTernoshory" has the form of an elongated mountain slope with a total area of ​​10 hectares. It is a chain of rocky outcrops of sandstone along the mountain river Bezulka Druha. Individual remains reach a height of 40 meters.

Local residents traditionally call the most bizarre rock the name of the legendary national avenger Oleksa Dovbush. Some researchers believe that the rock has an artificial origin and is an ancient sanctuary up to 40 thousand years old.

The rock was named "Ternoshorska Lada" because of its similarity with the widespread Paleolithic figurines of the female progenitor deity. The stone image of the goddess is 10.4 meters high, 2.4 meters of which is the head. The total weight reaches 100 tons.
