Mala Chortyzja ( Ukrainian Мала Хортиця , Russian Малая Хортица Malaja Chortiza ), in German Klein Chortyzja ; also known under the names Baida, Vyrwa, and Kanzeriwskyj, is a river island of the Dnieper in the urban area of the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia .
Mala Khortyzja is the smaller neighboring island of Khortyzja and like this part of the National Sapovednik Khortyzja .
The rocks on the north side of the island protrude 12 to 14 meters from the river. The island has a length of 520 meters and a width of 160 to 180 meters. The area is about 6.5 hectares.
Around 1553 the ataman Dmytro Wyschneweckyj built a fortress on Mala Khortyzja as an outpost in the fight against the Crimean Tatars , which was destroyed by the Tatars under their Khan Devlet Giray a few years after its completion . Whether these short-lived fort a Sitsch the Zaporozhye Cossacks was, as it says in the Ukrainian national narratives, is controversial.
