Kholodnyi Yar (Ukrainian: Холодний Яр) is a relict forest area in the Cherkasy Oblast in Ukraine, which has historical and environmental significance.

The Forest Fund of the Kholodnyi Yar tract is mainly represented by highly productive plantings of artificial origin.

[2] A significant part of Kholodnyi Yar — 561 hectares (8% of the area) — is included in the objects of the nature reserve fund, among which, the largest, covering an area of 553 hectares, is the nature monument of national significance "Kholodnyi Yar", created by order of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR No.

The first written mention of the Kholodnyi Yar belongs to historians who described the battles of Lithuanian and Kievan Rus' soldiers with the Horde in 1363-1367 on the "Blue Water".

Due to the dangerous proximity of the Wild Fields and the incessant attacks of nomadic tribes, these lands were uninhabited for a long time.
