Bychkivtsi Oak

A local botanical natural monument near Bychkivtsi village in the forest tract Bychkivtsi. It is a pedunculate oak more than 400 years old with a trunk diameter of 160 cm, a relic of the ancient Podillia oak forests. The tree is 25 m tall with a crown about 15 m across north-south and 20 m east-west, and an old lightning scar is visible on the trunk. It gained protected status as early as 1972. It is a good goal for a forest walk and a living reminder of the Cossack era and the region's primeval woods.
