The museum of writer Marko Vovchok was not interesting, unfortunately. Visiting it requires calling a phone number to summon the museum guide and waiting a little bit.

The main tourist attraction of Bohuslav is the outcropping of granite bedrock. It is a large area which includes all the visible granite around, but the map has the pin dropped over the place where people go bathing. They made some changes to the natural form of this granite, and are having fun.
Stairs from the higher side of the river were one of many ways of getting to the bathing place.
The tiny footbridge from the high side to the low one.

A canal to the hydropower station.
More water had to be crossed.
The Ostriv street. «Ostriv» means «Island» in Ukrainian.
A monument to the folklore character Marusia Bohuslavka is standing on the island. Here it is from afar, with lots of rocks around:

The bus station stands on this island. A fountain with three elephants bearing the names of little rivers and hills stands near the station.
Dogs resting in the shadow of the waiting area.
It took less than two hours to get back into the concrete ant colony of Kyiv.
