The sculptural composition "Concord Table" on the hill behind the Old Fortress symbolizes the cultural diversity of Kamyanets-Podilskyi.

The giant concrete millstone in the center of the composition symbolizes the city, the metal pipe with a crown-shaped break is a fortress, and the limestone blocks spread around the millstone represent the seven nations that together created Kamyanets: Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, Lithuanians, Armenians, Turks and jews

The eighth stone lying aside is interpreted as a symbol of the fact that in the future any other nation or nationality may also affect the development of the city.

The Craftsmen Synagogue in Khmelnytskyi is the only surviving Jewish temple in the city.

The railway branch connecting the Slavuta sand quarry with the railway station "Slavuta 2" passes through the forest. The tunnel looks especially impressive in the period when there are many leaves on the trees.

Unlike the famous "Tunnel of Love" in Klevan, the arch of the tunnel in Stryhany has not yet been formed, and it is only about 100 meters long.

The large complex of buildings of the barracks of the Kamyanets-Podilskyi fortress looks especially impressive from the opposite side of the Smotrych canyon - from the pedestrian bridge or from the Holy Intercession church in the arboretum.

They were designed to house a military garrison by the commandant of the Kamyanets fortress, Yan de Vitte, and were built at the end of the 18th century by the architect Stanislav Zavadskyi.

From the side of the river, the building looks like a fortress thanks to powerful retaining walls and loophole windows. Russian writer and poet Kostyantyn Batyushkov, Decembrist and hero of Borodino Volodymyr Rayevsky, scientist-lexicographer Volodymyr Dal, writer Mykhaylo Bulhakov served here.

In Soviet times, a tobacco factory was located in the barracks. Now the complex is in an abandoned state.

At the moment, special attention is drawn to the entrance to the territory of the Makiv sugar factory, which has preserved the unusual decor of the Victorian era in the form of a gate with caryatids.
