Lypa B. Khmelnytskoho, Botanical natural monument in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.
Lypa B. Khmelnytskoho is a botanical natural monument featuring three ancient oak trees in eastern Lviv Oblast. They occupy a small forest area and form the core of this protected site.
The site received official protected status in 1984 to preserve these particular oak trees. This designation made it a recognized part of the region's natural heritage.
The oak trees here connect to Bohdan Khmelnytsky, a significant Cossack leader in Ukrainian history. The site's name reflects his resistance against Polish rule during that era.
Visitors should check if access roads are in good condition, especially during wet seasons. Local guidance or maps help locate the exact position of the oak trees.
The three oak trees display different characteristics that make them valuable for scientific studies of regional biodiversity. These differences are not immediately obvious but experts regularly examine their distinctive features.
