The highest point of the Obukhiv area: 186 m above sea level, 55 above the Dnipro.

A hill above Trypillia crowned in its day by a Slavic sanctuary. The point's value today is the pairing of view and context: a kilometre away works the Kyiv Oblast Archaeological Museum, which explains what exactly lies underfoot. Without it the hill stays merely a fine view. In 1854 Divych Hill above Trypillia was drawn by Dominique De la Flise — a French physician who travelled the state villages of the Kyiv region and left albums of descriptions and drawings; his watercolour is in the card's Mention.
