A cascade of waterfalls with a height difference of 16 m. It is located on a stream - the right tributary of the Biskiv stream. The stream itself flows through the village of the same name and flows into the Putylka River. For a long time, the waterfall has been dry stones, and the reason is massive deforestation and the general drying up of streams and springs. If you want to see it in action, it is better to go in the period after prolonged rains or spring snowmelt. The common name comes from the large number of roe deer, which in the past were very numerous and now the area is attractive for deer, roe deer, hares and wild boars. It is very easy and convenient to get to the waterfall. From the Vyzhnytsia-Putyla highway, a transport road leads to the Biskiv tract, which in 5 kilometers will lead us to this natural wonder. An interesting fact is that a plant that scientists around the world have been looking for for many years (the only wild ancestor of modern wheat) was discovered and studied near the waterfall.
