Highest peak reaches 993 metres (3,260 ft) above sea level.

According to legend, the mountain is named after Parashka — the daughter (according to other version — a wife) of Prince Svyatoslav Volodymyrovych, son of Volodymyr I Sviatoslavych, who was killed on this mountain by the troops of Sviatopolk I of Kyiv in 1015.

This event was preceded by the battle between Sviatoslav and Sviatopolk near the town of Skole.

Geologically, the mountain is formed from layered sandstones and shales.
