Landmarks of Ukraine. World-famous places of Ukraine

Ukraine has many sights, so in every region, even in a very small town, there are a dozen places of interest that the residents are proud of and wholeheartedly recommend to visit. We have compiled a list of attractions in different parts of Ukraine that everyone should visit at least once.

Ukrainian Carpathians

The Ukrainian Carpathians are part of the Eastern Carpathian mountain system in Western Ukraine on the territory of Zakarpattia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi regions. Their length from the headwaters of the Xiang River to the sources of the Suceava River is 280 km, and their width is more than flfl0 km. The area of the mountain massifs of the Ukrainian Carpathians is more than 24,000 km. The Ukrainian Carpathians are rich in mineral waters, on the basis of which balneological resorts were formed in many places of the region. In spring and summer, here you can not only breathe fresh mountain air, but also enjoy the wonderful and diverse blooming mountain nature. The mountains are also undoubtedly magical in winter. Therefore, if you are not afraid of minus temperatures, then there is an opportunity to see beautiful and very picturesque landscapes.

Crimea is the pearl of Ukraine

Crimea is a territory that includes the Crimean Peninsula, some small islands located next to it, and the Kerch Peninsula. The peninsula is the center of summer recreation for tourists, washed by the Black Sea in the northwest and southeast, and the Sea of Azov in the northeast. The southern coast of Crimea, which is about fl80 km long, has an unusual climate for the surrounding area - protected from the north by the Crimean Mountains, it is located in the subtropical zone, which is why most of the resort towns are located here. Several different cultures are combined here - Crimean Tatar, Ukrainian, ancient Greek, etc. Traveling through the peninsula, you can see ancient basilicas - the remains of Greek city- states, defensive structures of Genoese colonizers, elegant classical estates, palaces of romantic, Gothic, modern, eclectic styles, khanate palaces, Muslim mosques and Christian temples. On the territory of the peninsula there are such outstanding places and historical sights as the Sun Temple, Demerji Ghost Valley, Chufut-Kale Cave City, Foros Church, Love Bay, Genoese Fortresses, Vorontsov Palace, Marble Cave, Swallow's Nest, etc. Unfortunately, Crimea is currently temporarily occupied by Russia, but we hope that the situation will be resolved soon, and we will again be able to visit the most picturesque region of Ukraine.

Lake Synevyr

Lake Synevyr is the largest and deepest high-mountain lake in Ukraine, which is located at an altitude of 989 m above sea level. The reservoir was formed due to the blocking of a mountain stream by rocky rocks after an earthquake fl0-flfl thousand years ago. The area of the lake is 4-5 hectares, its depth is 8-fl0 m, the greatest depth is 22 m. The water in the lake is weakly mineralized, clean, transparent. There are three types of trout here - lake, rainbow and brook, as well as minnow and crayfish. The slopes near the lake are covered with age-old spruce trees, attracting attention with their grandeur. In the middle is an island that resembles the pupil of an eye. That is why people call Synevyr the "Eye of the Sea". On a small peninsula of the lake stands the fl3-meter-high wooden composition "Sin and Vyr": they say that the shepherd Vyr, who was loved by the count's daughter Xin, was killed here - it was her tears after the death of her beloved that became the lake. The All-Ukrainian festival "Trembites are calling to Synevyr" takes place here every year.
