Скеля Гранітний Репер у Кременчуці фото 228

Outcrops of gray biotite-plagioclase magmatites. The height of the rocky outcrop is 5-6 m. The slope to the Dnieper is stepped. Since the 18th century, the levels of the Dnieper floods have been noted on this slope. The first mark is 1787, then 1789, 1820, 1842, 1845, 1877, 1888, 1895, 1915 and the last date is 1942. The rock is a geological monument of Ukraine and a historical monument of the city. This year, the rock was washed away, freed from the dirt of many years of stratification, and now the Kremenchug embankment has acquired an even more picturesque look.
