Skyphsky stan (Scythian Camp)

Tourist complex «Skyphsky stan» (Scythian Camp) – one of the most outstanding memorial and tourist complexes on the island of Khortytsia.

About the place

Employees of the Khortytsia reserve claim that the «Skyphsky stan» (Scythian Camp) has a healing energy field. The mounds settled in 6 groups. All of them were as if strung on the so-called Scythian path, which is still valid today and runs through the middle of Khortytsia, from the Naumov's beam to the melting part. The fifth group of mounds is located at the highest point of Khortytsia – the height above the Dnipro level is 59 meters, above sea level – 72 meters. On the mounds there are steles of the Bronze Age, Polovtsian statues. On the western outskirts of the complex there is a museum of stone works, which consisted of stone hurmans, stupas, troughs, grain-crops, millstones and Cossack-type crosses that were found in nearby villages and brought to Khortytsia.
