Bukhtivets Waterfall, Waterfall in Nadvirna Raion, Ukraine.
Bukhtivets Waterfall cascades 8 meters down moss-covered rocks through a narrow canyon, creating a powerful rush of water that flows year-round in the Ukrainian Carpathians.
The waterfall has been protected as a hydrological monument of nature since 1972, preserving its natural integrity and geological formations for future generations to experience.
Local communities consider the waterfall a symbol of natural purity and include it in regional folklore, while it serves as an important site for eco-tourism development.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by car, bicycle, or on foot from nearby villages, though the final 6 kilometers require careful navigation on deteriorating road conditions.
During winter months, the waterfall partially or completely freezes, transforming into an ice formation that offers a completely different visual experience for cold-weather visitors.
