The Vchelka waterfall is located on the Gnylopiat' River in the Zhytomyr Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine, between the villages of Singury, Golovenka and Perlyavka. The waterfall is high and about wide.
The name of the waterfall comes from the area — the Vchelka farm, which belonged to the Zhytomyr doctor and philanthropist Franz Vchelka. As of 1906, there were 43 yards (ca. 39 m) on the farm and 232 inhabitants.[1]
