Kremenets Mountains National Nature Park

Low ridges and plateaus of eroded chalk, clay and limestone, cut by ravines and gullies, form the southeastern third of the Holohory-Kremenetsk Ridge. The park protects the critically endangered Klokov birch, which grows on only two mountain tops, both within its bounds.
