“…In Ukraine, the problems of studying, preserving and tourist use of waterfalls are covered in a number of works, usually in Ukrainian (Gulych 2004, Zinko and Teres 2009, Bubniak et al 2011, Giletskyi 2013, Khilchevskyi et al 2017, Kovalchuk and Kovalchuk 2018. Scientists of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in 2012 developed and published the concept of creating a network of geoparks in the western region of Ukraine (Bogucki et al 2012). In particular, a general overview of the potential of ecotourism & geotourism in Ukraine has been made (Kiptenko et al 2017).…”

Waterfalls of the Eastern Carpathians (Ukraine) as objects of geoheritage and geotourismThe aim of the paper is to cover the results of the study of mountain waterfalls in Ukraine in the context of assessment of the state and problems of geoheritage preservation and geotourism development in the Eastern Carpathians. The state of tourist infrastructure near waterfalls was analyzed in the study. For the first time the tendency and share of attraction of waterfalls by tour operators in programs of thematic geotours and mass excursion tours in the Carpathians were analyzed. A number of expert recommendations have been developed for regional authorities on the protection of waterfalls through the further development of the geoheritage network (opening small geoparks and local geodestinations with the status of "protected tracts"), the inclusion of attractive waterfalls in the branding and PR-promotion of values, routes and trails of sustainable geotourism in the Eastern Carpathians.

“…The loess cover here is almost continuous (up to 10-15 m thick), except for local uplifting in the Povcha Upland and Mizoch Ridge, where tertiary rocks outcrop. The loess-palaeosol cover of the Volyn' Upland has been intensively studied since the 1970-s (Bogucki, 1986;Bogucki et al, 1975;1995;Tsatskin, 1980;Morozova, 1981;Nechaev, 1983;Melnychuk, 2004;Bezusko et al, 2011;Kusiak et al, 2012;Bezusko, 2013;Jary and Ciszek, 2013;Fedorowicz et al, 2013;Hlavatskyi et al, 2016;Łanczont and Madeyska (Eds. ), 2015; Nawrocki et al, 2018;Bonchkovskyi, 2019;2020a;2020b;Meng et al, 2021), however some problems still exist, including the reconstruction in sedimentary conditions.…”

Grain size and geochemical composition of the loess-palaeosol sequences are important evidence of the sedimentary environment in the Pleistocene, which enables to revela- tion of the sedimentation rates, the origin of deposits, and the sources of material that contributed to the loess accumulation and pedogenesis. The Kd index (10-50 μm / <5 μm), and the Ti/Zr, Ti/Nb and Ce/Y ratios considered to be indicators of aeolian silt accumulation, whereas the ratio of physical sand to physical clay have been suggested to reveal the relationship between sedimentation and pedogenesis. The grain size and geochemical analysis were applied at the Novyi Tik section (Volyn’ Upland), which is characterized by detailed stratigraphy and lateral diversity of palaeosols and deposits. Based on grain size and geochemical data from the section, four main units have been distinguished, which represent periods with similar sedimentary environment such as MIS 10-7, MIS 6, MIS 5 and MIS 4-2. During MIS 9 and 7, pedogenesis pre- vailed with a slight sedimentary contribution; during short-term cooling, thin loess beds were formed. High loess accumulation rates occurred during MIS 6, however, the source of aeolian dust material was different from those to other loess units. At the end of MIS 6, a period of dynamic sedimentation began, which resulted in the sandy grain-size composition of soils and non-soil deposits of MIS 5. The highest sedimentation rates presumably occurred during the stadials, therefore the soils could inherit the grain-size composition of the parent material. Moreover, during MIS 5 in the valley of the Styr River, episodes of aeolian sand accumulation could take place, since the sandy grain-size composition of soils of that time is widespread throughout the basin of the modern Khrinnyky reservoir. At the end of MIS 5, abrupt changes occurred in the sedimentary environment: sand sedimentation almost ceased and a period of aeolian silt accumulation began, and proceeded until the Holocene.

Objective. Analyze the structure and features of the nature reserve fund within the western part of the North Pokut highland and find out the problems and prospects for its optimization. Methods. Field, analysis, processing of stock materials of environmental services, remote sensing methods, cartographic. Result. The nature reserve fund of the western part of the North Pokuttya highland forms one regional landscape park, 15 reserves, 37 natural monuments, 12 protected tracts, three arboretums and five parks-monuments of garden and park art. The largest in area is the Dniester RLP (19,556 hectares), which accounts for 96% of the total area of the NPF in the region. A large number of valuable natural objects: caves, rocks, ledges, karst funnels and abysses, springs are located outside the Dniester RLP. Suggestions for optimizing the protection of valuable objects that need to be preserved. Valuable objects need protection in the form of geological monuments of nature and karst-speleological reserves for their further preservation, as karst abysses and funnels, occasionally at the foot of rocks become places of accumulation of household waste of the local population. This leads to loss of value of the natural object, pollution of the environment, deterioration of the ecological condition of the territory. Conclusions. We propose to create a karst and speleological reserve for the preservation and protection of caves, karst fields in the vicinity of Isakiv. As a geological monument of nature, it is necessary to protect large karst abysses ("vertebrae") and the cave "Pokutyanka" with a length of about 935 m. It is necessary to create hydrological monuments of nature to preserve high flow sources, waterfalls on travertine rocks. They are concentrated along the slopes of the Dniester.
