About the location

On the banks of Berda river, there is a series of five geological monuments of nature, among which are the cliffs of the Donkey Ears and the High Rock. The donkey's ears are a rock with two quartz dikes, "ears" formed on the top. The cliff "Donkey Ears", has been under protection since 1972. The rock is on the right bank of the river Berda 1 km north of the eastern outskirts of the village Radyvonivka.

Thinking about Berda river, before the eyes there are images of high rocks at the right bank of the river. A picturesque place on Berda river is a rocky site of "Donkey Ears" (Mykolaivka village). Here the rocky massif is arched by an arc for 1.5 km along the river current. The most famous rock, giving the name of the whole terrain, is the rock of the "Donkey Ears". Through water and wind erosion, granites took the form of the ears of this animal.

The massif is surrounded by patches of untouched steppe, where ordinary thyme, feather grass, violet, thickets of wild rose and hawthorn grow. Wild ducks, waders, herons and other birds nest here.
