The park's boundaries follow the Dniester River for 100&nbsp;km as it flows from northwest to southeast in western Ukraine. For much of this length the park is only about 5 – 10&nbsp;km wide, centered on the river. There are over 50 significant caves in park, cut in the [[Travertine]] rock. These include the Ozerna (105&nbsp;km) and Optymistychna (230&nbsp;km) caves. The largest waterfall in Ukraine - [[Dzhurynskyi]] - is in the park. As with most National Nature Parks in Ukraine, the main park includes many smaller nature reserves, local park sites, historical monuments and natural attractions open to public visits.

Dniester Canyon National Nature Park (Ukrainian: Національний природний парк «Дністровський каньйон») follows Dniester Canyon, the largest canyon in Ukraine, along the middle course of the Dniester River. It protects a relatively undeveloped portion of the Ukrainian forest-steppe landscape, about 75 km east of the Carpathian Mountains in western Ukraine, and about 400 km southwest of Kyiv. The canyon is known for its varied geological formations, including two of the longest caves in the world. It is in the administrative district of Chortkiv Raion in Ternopil Oblast.[1][2]
