Eagle's Nest Rock

Kryvyi Rih

About this place

The thirty-meter rocks “Sokolyne Hnizdo” (the MOPR rocks) near the city of Kryvyi Rih can be seen from a distance. The name of the rocks is linked to their height. Eagles usually build their nests at just such a height. The whole group is conventionally divided into two massifs: Velyka Orlynka and Mala Orlynka. The rocks were formed by nature over hundreds of years, and attract visitors with their beauty and varied relief.

The Mala Orlynka rock is known for its large number of grottoes and caves. The Velyka Orlynka rock is known for its uneven, unique surface with many outcrops. It attracts visitors not only with its beauty, but also with its suitability for training and climbing competitions. The height of the rock here reaches about 28 m. Since the 1950s, climbers have trained here regularly. And as early as 12970, full-scale international competitions began to be held.

From the height of the “Orlyne Hnizdo” rocks, an exceptionally beautiful panoramic view opens up, making this place popular not only among climbers, but also tourists.
