Bakota Bay, Water inlet on Dniester River, Ukraine.
This 1,590-hectare bay stretches along limestone cliffs within the Podilski Tovtry National Nature Park, surrounded by rocky shores and clear waters.
The bay formed in 1981 after the construction of the Dniester Hydroelectric Station, submerging the ancient settlement of Bakota and its medieval fortifications.
The nearby White Mountain contains a cave monastery with frescoes dating from the 12th to 14th centuries, showing early religious practices in the region.
The water body supplies Kamianets-Podilskyi city and maintains mineral concentrations between 205 and 570 milligrams per liter, making it suitable for various uses.
The bay serves as a habitat for numerous bird species, including Eurasian goshawks, mute swans, and great egrets that nest along its protected shores.
