Voznesensk

Voznesensk is an administrative city in Mykolaiv Oblast in southern Ukraine, situated along the Southern Buh River. The town is surrounded by farmland and industrial plants, positioned at a low elevation of about 6 meters.

The city was founded in 1795 following the conquest of Ochakov Fortress in 1788, which secured Russian control over the southern regions. This military victory opened the way for establishing a new administrative center in the freshly acquired territory.

The river shapes daily life here, with locals using the waterfront for walks and leisure activities that reflect community habits. Schools and educational centers form gathering points where families engage in the rhythms of a regional town.

The city connects by rail to Kyiv and Dnipro, with a central bus terminal serving multiple regional routes. Visitors can easily access the region or move around using these transit options.

The Waterfall sports complex offers swimming and recreation facilities right on the Southern Buh riverbank. Locals favor this spot for cooling off and spending time with family, especially during warmer months.
