Chortovi Skeli, Forest reserve with rock formations in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.

Chortovi Skeli is a 353-hectare local forest reserve created in 1984 within Lviv's Lychakiv district, south of Lysynychi and west of Vynnyky. It protects beech, oak, hornbeam and beech-pine stands on the Lviv plateau, around the Chotovi Rocks nature monument — erosion remnants of Upper Tortonian sandstone with a scenic summit.

The reserve was established in 1984 on the Lviv Plateau within the Vynnyky forest park, and it is managed by the Vynnyky forestry of the Lviv forest enterprise. Its purpose is to protect valuable beech, oak, hornbeam and beech-pine stands together with the Chotova Rocks, erosion remnants of Upper Tortonian sandstone. Genetic reserves of beech forest have been set aside within its 353 hectares.

The reserve takes its name from the Chotova (Chortova) Skela rock, an erosional remnant of Upper Tortonian sandstone with a conspicuous summit. The surrounding beech forests are also singled out as genetic reserves of beech, a status that shapes how the woodland is managed today.

The reserve lies within Lviv's Lychakiv district, south of Lysynychi village and west of Vynnyky, in the Vynnyky forest park on the Lviv plateau. It is managed by the Vynnyky forestry of the Lviv forest enterprise. Approach from the Lysynychi or Vynnyky side; the terrain is forested plateau with sandstone outcrops, so expect uneven ground.

The reserve protects genetic reserves of beech forest, and its core is the Chotova Skala, an erosional remnant of Upper Tortonian sandstone. The whole tract lies in the forest-park belt of Lviv's green zone and is managed by the Vynnyky forestry of the Lviv forest enterprise.
