Now in detail:
Leaving the hustle and bustle city, we can finally breathe! We travel to a typical Ukrainian mountain village. Twenty years ago, thanks to the powerful timber enterprises it was considered a promising industrial center. Now tourists come here just for aesthetic pleasure.
“Carpathian tram” arrived. While traveling in the van, local guide will tell you about the history of this region and the most narrow-gauge railway.
Our journey starts at 11.00. The tram has an open wagon for those who love to feel the wind in their hair and the warmth of sunlight kisses, or even a drop of rain on their face. There is also a traditional indoor wagon which does not make your journey less interesting.
We travel along a marvelous mountain river. By the way, there are more than 30 bridges during our trip!
The tram goes so close to the mountains that you can see in detail the patterns of moss on the rocks. Enjoy the view and breathe, breathe!
The route passes by the famous State Natural Reserve “Shirkovets.” Driving through the area, we meet for the first time with a sundew – flower that eats small insects. We can also breath the scent of baguley – in the warm summer days animals faint of that smell. Isn’t it great that it’s not summer yet! 😉
Our first stop will be near the water “Horyanka” in the village of New Myzun. Only 200 meters away there is a sourse of mineral water type “Naftusya” . Everybody can try the healing water.
We have a small break and we do not waste time in vain – we climb to the meadows to stretch our legs a bit and enjoy the scenery. Then we will get a portion of food for the brain and go on an excursion to the “air bridges” across the river Mizunka.
Next spot is at the Mizunski waterfalls.
Mizunski waterfalls are small waterfalls cascade behind the village New Myzun. The waterfalls are a bit low and remind thresholds. Over the falls there is an old bridge, where you can enjoy their simply astonishing beauty.
Our route continues past the source of “Dzyurkach” in the sanatorium “Dhzerelo Prikarpatya”, which was once the rehabilitation center for astronauts. This is our final point. Now we can relax completely and benefit from the beauty of the mountains and the freshness of the air! A delicious dinner will fill your body with energy. The food is never so tasty like the one which You eat at a picnic!
You will get an unforgettable experience and will definitely want to make the journey once again! Having rejuvenated the body and soul, full of new forces we drive back to Lviv to gshare our emotions with those who have spent the day at the TV screens or in the kitchen.
