WÄHLE EINEN TOUR

Ukraine is a large country by any standards, and there are thousands of interesting tourist locations here that are not known to the general public. We're going to tell you what Ukraine offers to tourists today and which locations you should definitely visit. Foreigners will fall in love with Ukraine at first sight!

Kamianets-Podilskyi Fortress: the grandeur of the past and the romance of the present

Today, the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi in the Khmelnytskyi region has a unique look of a European town that attracts tourists from both Ukraine and abroad. And rightly so! After all, earlier, around the XIV century, Kamianets-Podilskyi was the Kamianets-Podilskyi Fortress, a defense structure of the entire Eastern Europe.

Today, it is a calm, romantic, and simply atmospheric city on the map of Ukraine, with the Kamianets-Podilskyi Fortress, which looks like a fairy-tale castle, as its main location.

Once here, visiting the Kamianets-Podilskyi fortress and the museum of medieval torture located inside the fortress, everyone can see and feel the historical significance of this territory.

St. Sophia Cathedral - a thousand-year-old shrine of Ukraine

This object of Ukraine's historical heritage has been known since the times of princely rule. Once home to the first library that collected chronicles of life in Kyivan Rus, St. Sophia Cathedral is now a sacred Ukrainian location with a negative name.

The shrine was built in Kyiv from approximately 1017 to 1037, and its main “sponsor” was the ruler of Kyivan Rus, Yaroslav the Wise, for which his image and the image of his family were immortalized in the frescoes of this world-famous cathedral.

The main historical version says that Yaroslav the Wise was inspired to build St. Sophia Cathedral by his military victory over the Pechenegs. Thus, according to legend, the first stone of the cathedral was laid on the site of the fiercest battle with the enemy, where a lot of blood was shed.

Today, St. Sophia Cathedral embodies perhaps the most important religious and cultural heritage of Ukraine, which is able to remind every tourist of the historical greatness of our country.

Buky Canyon: a beauty for stalkers

In the village of Buky, Mankiv district, Cherkasy region, there is an amazing location - the Butsky Canyon, which exists due to the picturesque and very fast river - Hirsky Tikych. Scientists have found that the rocky banks of the canyon are about 2 billion years old (!), which attracts not only tourists who want to see the epochal grandeur of nature, but also climbers who like to use this place for their training.

The canyon begins near the 2-meter-high dam of the Butska HPP, the first hydroelectric power plant in Ukraine, built in 1929. Today, only stalker-style ruins remain of this engineering structure, but the waterfall, popularly called the Vyr waterfall, is still working.

Along the canyon, a picturesque path winds along a winding ribbon that leads to the ruins of a nineteenth-century mill, also powered by water. Right next to the water, tourists are allowed to set up tents for the night, and you can also just have a picnic here.

Earlier, we wrote about interesting Ukrainian cities other than the capital.

Lake Synevyr - the sea eye of eternity in the Carpathians

The list of the best locations in Ukraine would not be complete without this place. Meet the pearl of Transcarpathia at an altitude of 989 meters - Lake Synevyr. Perhaps the most mystical lake in Ukraine, skillfully hidden by nature from the human eye among emerald mountains, flower meadows and dark green spruce forests.

Lake Synevyr, sung in songs, described in books and shown in films, is the largest and deepest alpine lake in Ukraine, with a water cover of almost 5 hectares and a maximum depth of 22 meters. The lake is estimated to be over 10 thousand years old.

Tourists go to Lake Synevyr for both active and measured relaxation. Here you can have a picnic, go fishing (limited, with a fishing rod), spend the night at a campsite where you will be fed traditional bograch, or visit a lonely island in the middle of the lake, thanks to which Synevyr is also called the sea eye. However, swimming in Synevyr is prohibited, and hardly anyone wants to dive into the water, the temperature of which does not rise above 13 degrees.

One of the mystical attractions of this location is the legend of the so-called Carpathian Romeo and Juliet: a girl named Sin fell in love with a boy named Vir, but they were not destined to be together. When the girl learned that her father had ordered Vir to be killed, she committed suicide by drowning herself in a lake.

Kharkiv is made of reinforced concrete!

Only Kharkiv residents or people who have lived in Kharkiv for some time will fully understand this phrase. The Ukrainian city, which has been under constant Russian shelling for 3 years in a row, has forever earned the fame of an indestructible city and has become a symbol of the indestructibility of the whole of Ukraine!

Everyone knows about Kharkiv's cleanliness and incredible friendliness of its citizens; there is a whole Kharkiv dictionary of the local dialect; and whoever hasn't heard of Kharkiv benches and trash cans knows nothing about Kharkiv.

Today, there are entire flash mobs on social media, where Kharkiv residents who were forced to go abroad and have already visited different countries and cities all claim that they have never seen a better city than Kharkiv.

This is a unique Ukrainian metropolis with a special atmosphere and many locations that are becoming more and more interesting to tourists every day. And even though most cultural and entertainment venues in Kharkiv are closed, explosions are regularly heard in the city, and the duration of air raids has broken all records, visitors to Kharkiv say that the calmness and optimism of Kharkiv residents inspire the same mood in them.
