Protovche

Protovche is located in the southern part of the island, in the protected zone of the reserve. An intensive process of restoration of the historical landscape is taking place here. The ancient Rus settlement of Protovche, mentioned in the chronicles, was located here more than a thousand years ago. A stylized hut (zymivnyk) was built on the complex’s territory and today performs two functions: a stationary guard post of the reserve and, at the same time, a tourist object. One can enjoy a beautiful view of the floodplains here, including quiet lakes with lilies and a floodplain forest bursting with greenery: sedges, willows, poplars, and oaks. This place has many beautiful and rare plants, birds, and animals.

Since the territory is protected, entering it on any watercraft is forbidden. This is punishable by law, and entering is only allowed with an employee of the reserve.
