Ozhyhivske Tract

A hydrological reserve of local significance covering 8.6 hectares about 1.5 km east of the village of Ozhyhivtsi, declared in 1996. It preserves a wetland complex of marsh and meadows in the floodplain of a left tributary of the Zbruch. Typical wetland vegetation grows here, along with rare species such as bogbean and the early marsh orchid, a wild orchid that blooms in late spring. The small tract appeals to plant lovers and those seeking quiet walks, especially in May and June. The plants are protected and must not be picked; it is best to photograph the flowers from the edge of the meadow.
