Pyvykha Mountain

Natural object

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.
