The Dovbush Rocks near the village of Bubnyshche are one of the most interesting rock complexes in the Carpathian foothills: giant boulders, deep crevices, passages and paths between the stones. The place is named after the outlaw Oleksa Dovbush, and legends about him are told here. This half-day trip from Truskavets lets you see the rocks, a waterfall and the resort town of Morshyn without hurrying.

Why go

  • The Dovbush Rocks in the Bubnyshche tract – giant boulders, deep crevices and secret paths between stones
  • A walking programme with legends of the outlaw Dovbush, told by your guide along the way
  • The Sukil waterfall by the road: wide river cascades, handy for a quick photo stop on the way
  • A stroll through resort Morshyn – a green mineral-water town in the foothills, known for its springs
  • Lunch in a Hutsul koliba by the rocks with Carpathian dishes after the walk among the rocks

First we stop in Morshyn, a resort town with mineral waters, and stroll along its green streets. Then the road leads to the Sukil waterfall: the river drops over several wide cascades about 15 metres across, and this spot is easy to reach right from the road. The main part of the programme is the Dovbush Rocks in the Bubnyshche tract in the Polianytsia Regional Park. The guide leads you along paths between giant boulders, shows the cave pits, secret passages and the narrow “Devil’s Gorge”, and tells legends of the outlaws. These places were filmed in the recent film “Dovbush”. At the end you can have lunch in a Hutsul koliba by the rocks. Zakhid Travel provides transportation and a guide, and admission to the rocks can be added to your order.
