Chortova Hora, Botanical natural monument in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine

Chortova Hora is a protected botanical monument covering about 13 hectares with diverse plant species from western Ukraine. The terrain displays the natural vegetation typical of this area.

The site became an official protected botanical monument in 1975 when the Ukrainian government established it to preserve its ecological value. This designation marked an important effort to safeguard the region's plant populations.

The name reflects local folklore and traditions tied to the surrounding landscape and its natural character. Walking through the site, you can sense how the land has shaped the stories and values of people in the region.

The site requires preparation for natural terrain conditions and is best visited during dry weather. Proper footwear is important as the ground can be uneven and challenging to walk on.

The site hosts populations of the fly orchid, a species whose flowers closely resemble insects. This remarkable plant tricks pollinators with its deceptive appearance and represents one of nature's most clever adaptations.
