Buky , once a small town, and now an urban settlement, has been known since 1515.

The main attraction of Buky has got considerably respectable age. Waters of the protoocean Tetis splashed on the place of the Carpathians centuries ago. High ridges towered in the sky, the researchers state that they are higher than the Alps But the cataclysms of still a young planet did their work. The new mountains grew on the place of the oceans and the old ones came down. Now they remind us about the aged menacing peaks with the granite flanges on the surface of the earth. These flanges are stretched from the Korostensky Uzh basin through the basins of the Ros, the Tikych, the Tyasmin, the Southern Bug up to the sea.

Thousands of years the waters of the new rivers sharpened the granite of Proterozoic age, until they formed quite picturesque canyons. The canyon on the Tikych in Buky (it is actually stretching downriver up to the village of Chorna Kamyanka) is the most picturesque of them - steep slopes more than 25 metres high, fast waterfalls...

That is the main reason why one of the Tikyches received the name of Hirskiy (in English means “mountainous”) that always evokes a smile of an unaware reader - «well, what kind of mountainous river on the plain», but in order to be convinced, it is necessary to see that with your own eyes.

The imposing ruins of a water-mill remained on the right bank of the Tikych, and it is even possible to find big millstones. It is worth walking along the bank from the mill downriver still a little, farther in the thicket, upriver, there is one more little waterfall ~ not so rough, as Tikychsky Vyr is, but picturesque in its own way. The air of charm is added by the fact that there are no crowds of tourists here, besides it is possible to explore the old dam that crosses the riverbed and reminds more likely a fortress wall.

The traces of Trypilska culture, barrows are discovered on the outskirts of the settlement, While coming to Buky from Krachkivka on left riverbank traces of the site of an ancient settlement were found. It was marked on the map of the traveller Boplan of the first half of the XVII century. It is verified by the archival document sent to the imperial archaeological commission in 1834 and which was found in the fund of explorer Antonovich.
