*This “mountain” is located on the border of Peresyp and Slobodka. In its center passes the street of the same name – Shkodova Gora. According to legend, it received such a name thanks to the Cossacks, since they often had some kind of “Shkoda” during their movement along it, for example, a wagon broke. According to other sources, the name appeared due to the poor quality of the local road. In addition, under the mountain there is an old Cossack cemetery, founded in 1775.
