Hrushivtsi
Hrushivtsi is a village in the Chernivtsi region, Kelmenets district, Ukraine. It borders on the villages of Babyn and Nahoryany. It is located 9 km north of the district center, 2 km from the Dniester River and 12 km from the Larga railway station.
Hrushevtsi was first mentioned in written documents in 1559. In the vicinity of the villages of Hrushevtsiv and Nahoryany, the remains of settlements of the Trypillian culture (III millennium BC), the Early Iron Age (I millennium BC) and the Chernyakhiv culture (II-VI centuries AD) have been discovered. To the north of the village, the so-called Troianiv Val (first centuries AD) runs along the Dniester.
Hrushevtsi has a picturesque park, a local monument of landscape art. The park, which was called the "Lord's Garden," was laid out in the century before last by Mr. Chornyi. Here you can still find rare trees, including a false orange and a Ukrainian sycamore, as well as the remains of park architecture.
Hrushevtsi ends, and a dirt road leads along the Dniester meadow to the village of Marianivka. Halfway to Marianivka, in the narrowest part of the meadow in the Val tract, there are the remains of a rampart, popularly called the Traianovyi or Turkish rampart. The rampart is more than 600 meters long, up to one and a half meters high and up to 10 meters wide. Nearby are the remains of a ditch up to 1 meter deep and 10 meters wide. The rampart does not reach the banks of the Dniester, as it rests against natural obstacles: on the one hand, a swamp and stone blocks, and on the other, a deep ravine.
This is how the Shyshkiv hills look like from the ramparts:
