Aktovsky Canyon

Devil's Valley, Aktovsky Canyon
Ukraine, Voznesensk
The Aktovsky canyon on the Mertvovod River in the Nikolaev region has a length of about 5 km and a depth of up to 50 m. It is sometimes called the "Valley of the Devil" because of the sheer cliffs. The canyon is a unique complex of water and forest-steppe ecosystems with an ensemble of rocks and granite boulders, repeating the famous North American canyons in terms of geological and landscape indicators. Here, in a limited area, a mountain tulip grows.

Difficult terrain and shallow depth do not allow rafting on this section of the river, but its sheer cliffs are attractive to climbers. The natural complex of the Aktovsky canyon is part of the natural national park Bugsky Guard. Near the canyon, you can visit Trikrat Forest Labyrinth.

Have been there twice. Once in the summer. The second is in the fall. I advise you to take a snack and water (tea, mulled wine) with you. You won't be able to see the area quickly. You will definitely want to visit the opposite bank of the Metvod River. The luckiest and most attentive will be able to find a path to go down the canyon. Take fishing rods and children, good mood and friends. In the area you can find a couple of interesting beaches and an old abandoned canyon with white mountains).

Was here in the fall on a short hike. Not easy to get by public transport, but worth it. Beautiful, almost wild places. Huge stones along the banks of the Mertvovod River. Places described by Herodotus. We spent the night on the shore in tents, did not meet anyone except a park employee. We climbed the rocks, picked up the wild rose, basked on the rocks, met the sunset.
