The Rocks of Dovbush are a group of unique natural and man-made structures named in honor of opryshko (revolutionary) Oleksa Dovbush. According to the legend (for tourists, of course), his gold was hidden somewhere under the rocks.
The rocks lay in the beech forest, and with good sunlight the forest turns into a magical place. There are many interesting places in the rocks, such as a gorge, through which you can squeeze only if you are in good physical shape.
Warning: Many places on the rocks are quite dangerous, be very careful!

Getting there: The best way to get to the rocks is by car. Note that you must walk about 3 km to get to the rocks, if you are without a car.
You can buy a tour in resorts such as Truskavets.
Tip: In small towns of Ukraine it is much more convenient to use a taxi (if any) or just ask the locals to give you a lift for money. Use of public transport will be difficult if you are not local and don't know the schedule.
