About the place
The Ancient Steppe is a picturesque coastal strip of the island of Khortytsya covered in steppe grasses. It is one of the few areas of true steppe that has never been touched by a plow. Its length reaches 2 kilometers, and its width is approximately 100 meters throughout the entire section from the Shyrokaya ravine to the Chernyahivka ravine.
The unique microclimate and special ecosystem found here is unlike any other in the world. Approximately 250 species of animals, 120 species of birds, and practically all the plants from the Red Book are found here.
The uniqueness of this area lies in the fact that several landscapes merge together along the coastline - the wide channel of the Old Dnipro River, the high cliffs of Khortytsya, the golden steppe, and the incredibly picturesque ravines that cut through the steppe.
