Holohory-Kremenets Ridge () forms the northwestern part of the Podolian Upland. With an elevation of 350-470 meters and a length of up to 250 kilometers, the ridge's northern side falls steeply into the depression formed by the Buh, Styr, Ikva and Horyn rivers, with the altitude difference reaching 150-200 meters. Of partially tectonical origin, as a result of massive erosion the ridge is distinguished by numerous mesas dissected by river valleys, gullies and ravines. The ridge's lower parts consist of chalk covered by miocenic sandstones. As a result of abundant rainfall in the area, it is covered with numerous forests.
Constituent parts
The ridge is divided into three parts: Holohory (western part spanning from Lviv to Zolochiv); Voroniaky (central part from Zolochiv to Ikva); Kremenets Mountains (from Ikva to Horyn).
