Khotyn National Nature Park

Dniester River canyon, reservoir and karst caves near Ukraine's border with Moldova

The park follows 160 km of the Dniester River Canyon, cut into the plateau through granite and gneisses up to 2,000 million years old and younger limestone. Karst caves open in places, and the Khotyn Fortress lies right beside the park.
