Kichkas, Historical settlement near Khortytsia Island in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine
Kichkas is a settlement situated along the Dnieper River near Khortytsia Island, where the waterway passes through rocky terrain. The area has supported human habitation for centuries due to its strategic position on the river.
The area served as a winter camp for Cossacks during the 18th century under Kodak administration. This period shaped the settlement's role as a strategic riverside outpost.
Archaeological expeditions near Kichkas uncovered over 100 burial mounds from the Bronze Age and Scythian periods containing weapons and ornaments.
The settlement lies along Borodinska Street and is accessible to visitors exploring the region. Access to nearby Khortytsia Island makes it convenient to visit both locations during the same trip.
Construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in 1928 led to the discovery of several ornately decorated swords nearby. These weapons resemble the Sviatoslav sword type and hint at the area's ancient importance.
