The rocky canyon on the Gorny Tikich River near the village of Buki (the border of Cherkasy and Vinnytsia regions) is one of the most beautiful places in Ukraine. The canyon itself is small, about 5 kilometers long, and this place itself is unique in that there are the ruins of the first hydroelectric power station in Ukraine. The beginning of the canyon is right in the center of the village, near the monument to Lenin. For lovers of savage recreation with tents, there are very good places where you can stay, the only thing is that you need to stock up on firewood in advance.

The Gorny Tikich River flows in Proterozoic granites, whose age is estimated at 2 billion years, and forms a deep (up to 20 m) and narrow (in some places 20-40 m) canyon, one of the ledges of which is named after the famous Ukrainian geologist-petrographer (“ Rock of Rodionov). Gorny Tikich, together with the rivers Gniloy Tikich and Yatran, enters the Southern Bug basin. Before entering the Buk Canyon, the waters of Gorny Tikich rapidly roll down from a block of granite, thereby creating a noisy two-meter waterfall Vyr. Near it, in the nineteenth century, a large water mill was built, of which only fragments have survived.
