Khotyn National Nature Park

Khotyn National Nature Park (Ukrainian: Хотинський національний природний парк) is a national park of Ukraine that covers a segment of the Dniester River Canyon and the Dniester River Reservoir.

The geology of the Dniester Canyon, cut into the surrounding plateau, includes granite and gneisses up to 2,000 million years old, as well as sedimentary and limestone rocks of the more recent Cenozoic (10–12 million years).

This climate is characterized by large swings in temperature, both diurnally and seasonally, with mild summers and cold, snowy winters.

[2][3] Because of the variety of terrain, habitat, and micro-climates in the park, plant and animal diversity is very high.

[1] Besides the Khotyn Fortress, there are a wide variety of archaeological and cultural sites in the park.
