Home Kitaigorodskii cut - Kitaigorodskii geological outcrops - is on the left side of the village Ternava and runs around the hillside on the outskirts of the Kitai-Gorod. This detachment covers an area of 60 hectares. A minor part of the deposits, mainly sandstones, located in the floodplain of the river, after the rise of the water level in the 83-84 years of the 20th century were covered with water.
However, the cut itself, and to this day has retained its uniqueness, which lies in the fact that only in the area of the village KITAYGOROD Silurian deposits are observed in full section. Based on the results of the study of the Silurian deposits in the region made the selection of three horizons Podolsky Upper Silurian: the upper horizon - limestone, medium - shale, lower horizon - sandstones. Due to the fact that the fossil across only limestone (upper) horizon, its age can be determined most accurately.
Scientists say that Kitaygorodsky incision is a unique geological landmark of national importance. However, because the places in the world where the Silurian rocks occur in full section, of very little outcrop of this can and should be attributed to the global geological heritage.
Close to cut spread Kitagorodsky forest, which is a botanical reserve of the local value. It grows in a rare orchid species are of great value. On the Kitai-Gorod wall also found relics - shiverekiya Podolsky and miraculously found myself in this place gisop drug. There are several versions of the appearance here of the relict plant. Or he "came" on the Dniester River to the south, as well as all kinds of Mediterranean flora, or it brought the monks for cultivation on their "pharmacy garden."
