Attractions of Kremenchuk district

Mount Pyvykha in Hradyzk on the shore of the Kremenchuk Reservoir is considered one of the highest points of the Left Bank of Ukraine (169 meters).

It arose as a result of the onset of continental ice during the Ice Age. There are outcrops of blue marl - a rare highly calcareous clay used in construction.

It is believed that the name of the mountain is connected with the settlement that existed here in ancient times, which belonged to the boyars Pyva.

In the 16th century, the Pyvohorsky Monastery was founded, near which the settlement of Horodyshche, and later the present Hradyzk, arose.

After the construction of the Kremenchuk Reservoir, Mount Pyvykha is gradually collapsing. It is a historical and geological reserve.

A monument to Taras Bulba, the hero of Mykola Hohol's work of the same name, was erected in Keleberda to mark the 200th anniversary of the writer's birth.

The bronze sculpture depicts the Zaporizhzhian chieftain Bulba sitting on a stone with a pipe in his mouth on a high rocky promontory and looking thoughtfully at the wide expanse of the Dnipro. A horse grazes next to him, and a Cossack cannon stands nearby.

The authors of the sculptural composition are artist Volodymyr Chepelyk and his son, sculptor Oleksiy Chepelyk.

Nearby is the Transfiguration Church (2005) and a monument to the soldiers who died during the crossing of the Dnipro in 1943.
