Porih Revuchyi Waterfall

The unique artificial waterfall “Porih revuchyi” was opened on 14 September 2013 to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Ukrainian writer T. H. Shevchenko. The site chosen for the waterfall was no accident. It is on Monastyrskyi Island that the largest monument to the Kobzar stands, the poet who bequeathed to his descendants that he should be buried “where the Roaring one roars.”

The waterfall is 17 meters high and 20 m wide.   It has become a decoration of the largest rapid on the Dnipro and a symbol of the resilience of the Ukrainian people. 

Interesting facts:

• About 1060 cubic meters of water pass through the waterfall / h.
• The waterfall has several operating modes.
• There is a theory that the site for the waterfall was chosen precisely where there is an entrance to underground caves.

Tip:

The waterfall does not operate continuously, but only on public holidays, weekends, and every evening. In the evening, it is lit with multicolored light. From November to April (sometimes May, depending on the weather), it does not operate.
