Attractions of Hradyzk

The Hradyzk roadside fish market spontaneously formed opposite the bus station of the Hradyzk village on the N-08 Kyiv-Dnipro highway thanks to the developed fishing industry in the Kremenchuk Reservoir.

Fresh, dried, dried and smoked Dnipro fish are sold at the Hradyzk market: zander, bream, catfish, pike and others.

The Museum of Hero of Ukraine Oleksandr Bilash was founded in 2004 in his native Hradyzk - in the premises of the Hradyzk Gymnasium, which bears the name of this outstanding Ukrainian composer. The initiator of the creation of the museum was the director of the educational institution Alla Salimon.

The exhibition presents items of Oleksandr Bilash's musical and literary heritage, which have historical and artistic value. In particular, the composer's daughter Olesia Bilash donated his personal belongings, awards, collections of poems, musical works, and gifts to the museum.

Currently, the museum has over 500 exhibits, which are placed in seven exhibition sections: "Childhood of Oleksandr Bilash", "Education of the future composer and poet", "Beginning of literary activity", "The flowering of creative talent and cooperation with outstanding figures of culture and art of Ukraine", "Poetic achievements", "Family roots and family of Oleksandr Bilash", "Last years of life".

In the courtyard of the gymnasium in 2012, a bust of Oleksandr Bilash was installed.

Pyvykha Mountain in Hradyzk on the banks of the Kremenchuk Reservoir is considered the highest point on the left bank of the Dnieper or the Dnieper Lowland (168 meters). It is sometimes mistakenly called the highest point of Left-Bank Ukraine.

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.
