The extremely picturesque Buky Canyon in Cherkasy region is formed by the high rocky banks of the Hirsky Tykich river.
The river cut its channel in granite deposits, the age of which is about 2 billion years. The canyon is narrow (20-40 meters in places), deep (up to 20 meters), winding and long (about 1 kilometer). It starts from the artificial two-meter overturning of the former hydroelectric dam, which is called the Vyr waterfall.
You can admire the rocky outcrops of the banks, between which the river runs along the rapids, in the center of the village of Buky, from the bridge over Hirsky Tykich.
The ruins of a 19th-century water mill and a hydroelectric power station from 1929 have been preserved.
Downstream is the Vyr itself - a deep place in the river bed, drilled by eddies. Next, you can find the most interesting place, where high sharp rocks very picturesquely hang directly over the water, creating a landscape that is completely uncharacteristic for central Ukraine, similar to a fjord.
There are convenient picnic areas along the entire length of Buky Canyon (there are many people on warm weekends).
