Shypit, Natural cascade in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine
The waterfall forms multiple cascades over 14 meters of rock formations at the foot of Mount Hemba, creating a natural water display in the forest.
The geological formation emerged from Paleogene sandstones and gravelites with thin layers of shale, shaping the current structure of the falls.
The name Shypit translates to 'whisper' in Ukrainian, connecting to regional folk stories about the sound of water carrying messages through the mountains.
Visitors reach the falls by following marked trails from Pylypets village, with entry fees of 20 UAH for adults and 10 UAH for children between 7 and 16.
During winter months, sections of the waterfall freeze while remaining water streams continue flowing, creating contrasting ice and water formations.
