The most popular is Kamianka in the Skole Beskids — several cascades in the forest on an easy trail from Skhidnytsia.
The Skole Beskids: Kamianka and Laznyi waterfalls, Zhuravlyne lake, the Carpathian Lighthouse tower — all within 1.5–2 hours.
The Dovbush Rocks with caves, the Rozhirche cave monastery, the Stilske hillfort and the unusual 'Carpathian Sea' — an abandoned dam on the Stryi river.
Non-slip soles only. Waterfall and rock trails get wet and slippery, especially after rain.
The most accessible waterfall is Kamianka near Dubyna village, about 7 km from Skole, reached by a well-trodden trail. For panoramas, climb the Carpathian Lighthouse tower on Mt Tsiukhiv Verkh near the Skhidnytsia resort. The Dovbush Rocks with their caves and legends (already in Ivano-Frankivsk region, about 2 hours from Lviv) and the Rozhirche cave monastery are a separate adventure. Wear non-slip shoes — rock trails and waterfall approaches get slippery.
