Granite canyons are a surprise of the Cherkasy region: the Hirskyi Tikych and Tiasmyn rivers have cut deep valleys in the rocks, and old estates with parks stand above them.
Buky
Start at the Buky Canyon: the Vyr waterfall and the dam of the former hydroelectric plant are its most photogenic spots.
Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi
Next comes the Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi Historical and Cultural Reserve and the Lopukhin estate on the Ros river.
Kamianka
Finish in Kamianka: the Tiasmyn Canyon and the Davydov estate, associated with Pushkin and Tchaikovsky.
Tip: the route is long — more than a hundred kilometres of roads between Buky, Korsun and Kamianka — so you may split it over two days. Wear comfortable shoes on the canyon paths.
