Maksym Zaliznyak's Oak

Natural object

Maksym Zaliznyak's Oak in Kholodny Yar is one of the oldest oaks in Ukraine (perhaps the oldest). According to various estimates, it is from 1000 to 1200 years old.

The patriarch oak grows on the southern slope of the Kyrykivsky Yar tract on the territory of the Kholodny Yar tract on the outskirts of the Buda village. It is the largest in Ukraine and one of the ten largest trees in Europe. Its girth is 8.9 meters, height - 24 meters. The trunk was struck by lightning six times.

Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, Severyn Nalivayko, Taras Shevchenko rested under its crown, but it is named after Maksym Zaliznyak - the leader of the Haydamak uprising, which was active in these places. The Zaliznyak oak is considered a symbol of Kholodny Yar, as well as one of the symbols of the Ukrainian Cossacks.

A monument to the residents of the village of Buda, who died during the Second World War, has been erected nearby.

There is a cafe and a souvenir shop at the entrance to the reserve.
