Fossilized Trees in Druzhkovka

The site contains preserved tree remains from the Paleozoic era, transformed into stone through natural mineralization processes over millions of years.

The fossilized trees, dating back approximately 300 million years to the Late Pennsylvanian period, received official protected status in October 1975.

This geological formation serves scientists and researchers as a natural laboratory for studying ancient plant life and regional geological evolution.

The one-hectare protected area remains accessible to visitors, though locating specific specimens requires guidance due to their scattered distribution across the terrain.

The preserved Araucarian trees at this location represent some of the oldest coniferous specimens found in Eastern Europe.
