The seven wonders of Ukraine

What are the must-see places in Ukraine? The list “Seven wonders of Ukraine” gives an idea of that. These outstanding Ukrainian places of interest were selected based on the votes of an expert committee, which selected 21 candidates out of 1,000 possible sites, and 77,000 internet users, which selected this final list. The vote for them took place in 2007 following a campaign to know more about Ukraine “Piznai Ukrayinu,” during which various public actions were held in different Ukrainian regions, called to make Ukrainian traditions and history more known to Ukrainians themselves, and was followed up with the vote “Seven Natural Wonders of Ukraine.” Euromaidan Press  brings you an overview of the places you shouldn’t miss on your visit to Ukraine.

1. Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) – Kyiv – a prominent center of Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was founded in 1051, when the monk Antoniy settled in a nearby cave on the hills of the Dnipro river. He was soon joined by othe men wishing to pursue the monastic life, and the underground cloister was enlarged and eventually led to the creation of above-ground temples. Developing and growing gradually, the monastery turned into the Kyivan Rus’ cultural center, being the home for famous writers, scientists, historians, and artists. It was a place of knowledge – Orthodox pastors were taught in the Lavra, and the first print shop and library in Rus’ were opened on its territory. After the conquest of Kyiv by the Tatar-Mongols in 1240, the Lavra’s buildings were destroyed, plundered, and burned several times. The complex’s reconstruction began only in the 18th century. The Lavra is famous for its chain of caves, in which lie the remains of the saints who lived here, including the cloister’s founder Antoniy and Nestor the Chronicler, a monk who wrote the Chronicles detailing the history of the Kyivan Rus.

2. Sofiyivskyi Park – Uman. This landscape masterpiece was founded in 1796 by the Uman governor, the Polish Count Stanisław Potocki, who decided to present this unique gift to his Greek wife Sofia. Built over the course of six years, the cost of the original park was estimated at roughly 15 million złoty, a fortune by contemporary standards, and was done over difficult terrain. The main contractor was Ludwik Metzel, a Polish military engineer who, tasked to “outshine any other park in Europe,”  imported many rare plants from all around Europe and employed up to 800 local serfs to get the job done. By original idea of the architect, the park illustrates different parts of Homer’s poems Odyssey and Iliad. Today, Sofiyivskyi park is a scenic landmark of world gardening design at the beginning of the 19th century. The park accounts for over 2,000 types of trees and brush (local and exotic) among which are taxodium (marsh cypress), Weymouth Pine, tulip tree, platanus, ginkgo, and many others.

3. Kamianets National Historic-Architectural Reserve – Kamianets-Podilskyi. A candidate to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it is centered around an medieval fortress, and is known as a “flower in stone” or a “museum on an island,” as it has an incredible quantity of monuments of the 11th – 19th century crowded onto a rocky island skirted by the tight loop of the Smotrich River flowing in a picturesque canyon. With a history spanning back to 1196, the city developed around the castle, and was at the center of numerous invasions during the 14-18th centuries, each of which left its impring on the city achitecture. The impregnable castle on a rocky outcrop was named a “fortress built by God” by its attackers.

4. Khortytsia.  This island the largest on the Dniper river is most known for being one of the strongholds of the Zaporizhzhia Kozaks, although its history spans back to the times of the Scythians, Sarmatians, Cimmerians, Pincenates, Slavs, and even the palaeolithic times. In 1552-56, Hetman of the Ukrainian Cossacks Baida-Vyshnevetsky established the Zaporizhzhian Sich, on this island, and built a castle from whic he set out on campaigns against Türkiye. After the liquidation of the Sich when Ukraine was absorbed by the Russian empire, the island hosted a Mennonite colony.

5. Chersonesus Taurica – Sevastopol. Founded in 6 BC, this   ancient city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a greek colony located on the shore of the Black Sea at the outskirts of Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula, where it is referred to as  Khersones . It has been nicknamed the “Ukrainian Pompeii.” It is considered that Prince Volodymyr, the baptiser of Rus, was baptised in Chersonesus in 988.

6. Saint Sophia Cathedral – Kyiv. Founded in 1011, this cathedral is an outstanding monument of the Kyivan Rus and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This masterpiece of arthitecture was built by Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise at the height of Kyivan Rus, in the Byzantine style, and significantly transformed during the baroque period. Despite being widely considered to mirror the St. Sophia cathedral in Istambul, it contains architectural and artistic elements unique to the Kyivan Rus. Its organization and stylistic treatment of mosaics and frescoes provided the model for many Kyivan Rus and later Ukrainian churches. Key events in Ukrainian religious, political, and cultural life have taken place in and around the cathedral. The first library in Ukraine was founded there by Yaroslav the Wise. He was eventually buried in the cathedral (his sarcophagus remains), as were other grand princes and metropolitans. Coronations were performed, foreign ambassadors were received, councils met, and many historic treaties, proclamations, and universals were announced there.

7. Khotyn Fortress – Khotyn. A stronghold famous throughout Europe for great battles in the past, it was built by, fortified, stormed, and included into the possessions of ancient Rus princes, Moldovan owners, Polish kings, Ukrainian hetmans, Turkish sultans, Russian and Austrian military leaders. The first written mention about Khotyn is dated back to the end of the 14th century, but the first settlements on the outskirts of modern Khotyn appeared 35-10 thousand years ago. The fortress acquired its modern look at the end of the 15th century, when Khotyn was a part of the Moldavian Kingdom, and has been the location for shooting stage for many famous Soviet movies.

Here are seven natural wonders of Ukraine

3. here are seven natural wonders of ukraine. they were chosen by opinion of experts:.

Ukraine Has Its Seven Wonders Too

1. Aktovskyi Canyon

If you associate the word "canyon" with the Grand Canyon in the state of Colorado (USA), you will be even more surprised to find out that his younger brother is located in Ukraine. Every year, not only Ukrainians, but also foreign tourists, come to Mykolaiv Region to admire this natural beauty.

2. Oleshkivski Sands (desert)

Ukraine has forests, forest-steppes, steppes, mountains, lakes, rivers, seas - but it also has deserts. This desert is also one of the largest in Europe, with a total area of more than 160 thousand hectares. It is located in the south of Ukraine, on the territory of Kherson Region. So, if you so wish, you can go there from the canyon mentioned above. The trip by car takes no more than 4 hours.

3. Tunnel of Love

If you are in Rivne Region, then be sure to go to a place near the town of Klevan. It became popular not only in this country, but also abroad, as it is one of the most romantic places in Ukraine. It is called the "Tunnel of love" and looks like an arch made of trees and bushes, surrounding the railway for nearly four kilometers. This place appeared thanks to a military base located nearby. The fact is that the said railway led to a military base, and the green areas should have acted as camouflage for it. As for the perfectly correct shape of the tunnel, everything is extremely simple: the railway is still in operation, and the train breaks off the outgoing branches when it moves. It is believed that if a couple that is in love makes a joint wish here, then it will come true.

4. Lake Synevyr

Synevyr, the largest mountain lake in Ukraine, is extremely popular among tourists. It is located in the Carpathians and appeared more than 10,000 years ago as a result of an earthquake. Its depth in some places reaches 24 meters.

There is a beautiful but sad legend that a lake emerged from the tears of the daughter of a rich Earl who did not want her and an ordinary shepherd to be together. When he found out that they had feelings for each other, the count ordered that the young man be killed. And that order was carried out immediately. The girl cried bitterly for a long time and a lake arose from her tears. The girl was called Syn, and the young man Vyr; hence the name.

5. Optimistic Cave

An interesting name was given to a cave in Ternopil Region, which is considered the longest gypsum cave in the world. It reaches 260 km to date, though all of its passages have not been studied sufficiently.

Even the name of it appeared by chance: for a long time, colleagues did not take the discoverers of the cave seriously, calling them optimists. Nevertheless, they believed it would be longer than everyone expected. By the way, speleologists from Lviv discovered it back in 1966, but the cave explorations are ongoing.

6. Khortytsia Island

Khortytsia Island, the largest island on the River Dnipro, deserves special attention. The total area of the island is about 2,500 hectares, and its natural wealth is remarkable: there are coniferous and oak forests here, as well as grasslands. Among the plants, you can find a lot of plants that are rare for mainland Ukraine.

7. Apple Tree Colony

The Apple Tree Colony turned out to be the last one on our list. It is located in the city of Krolevets, Sumy Region, and is a tree (not a garden, as it may seem at first), which occupies an area of 0.1 hectares and bears fruit for more than 220 years, although the age of an apple tree does not usually exceed 60. The secret lies in the fact that the branches lean to the ground and eventually take root, so when one of the trunks dies, the other one rises to the top. This is how the tree prolongs its life.

Seven wonders of Ukraine

Wonders of Ukraine are must-see sights including 11th century cathedrals, bicentennial parks, inaccessible fortresses and amazing natural landscapes.

1. Kamenets Reserve

The 12th century ancient fortress and the “old city”, which preserved its authenticity, are the main objects of the Reserve. And its defensive fortifications are probably the best in Eastern Europe, so it’s definitely worth to visit Ukraine and see them. In total, there are about 200 historical and architectural monuments, which you can see on our Kamenets-Podolsky Sightseeing Tour .

2. Kiev-Pechersk Lavra

It’s an ancient monastery, founded in 1051. The territory of the Reserve houses a complex of churches and temples, a gallery and unique museums such as the World’s Smallest Things Museum. What else? You will see it on our  City sightseeing tour: Kiev in 180 minutes.

3. Sofievka Arboretum

The 200-year-old Sofievka Park is a scenic landmark of world gardening design featuring sculptures, waterfalls, fountains and ponds. Its history is very romantic: the park was founded by a Polish tycoon as a present to his wife.

4. Aleksandria Park

You can walk here for hours as the Park occupies 200 hectares of land, features 25 reservoirs and 2,500 plant species. In the 18th century Aleksandria Park was considered one of the best in Europe. The best time to visit it is the end of August when the annual Air Balloons Festival Alexandria Extravaganza – a spectacular and beautiful show – takes place here.

5. Khotyn Fortress

This 10th-18th cc. fortress was considered one of the most unapproachable in Europe. It’s a great place for the defense architecture fans. The battleground, towers, and heavy artillery loopholes have been preserved until now. The Fortress looks very impressive. Therefore, 12 movies were filmed here.

6. St. Sophia Cathedral

This 11th century Cathedral houses the world’s largest collection of millennial frescoes (3,000 sq.m.) and mosaics (260 sq.m.) St. Sophia Cathedral is one of  UNESCO World Heritage sites in Ukraine . Visiting St. Sophia Cathedral is included into Historical Kyiv private walking tour .

7. Khortitsa Island

The largest island on the Dnieper River boasts a unique nature and more than a hundred cultural and historical monuments. Ukrainian Cossacks, famous fearless warriors, inhabited Khortitsa in the 15th-18th cc. The Reserve keeps the atmosphere of those times and the Cossacks’ way of life.
