Mykulychyn. In Flight on the Carpathian Swing. A Place Everyone Is Drawn To

Both adults and children love to swing, feeling the euphoria of flight and the sensation of free fall. Everyone tries to reach the maximum height, increasing the amplitude of their swinging as they compete with one another. A person is familiar with the effect of swinging from childhood, when a newborn is rocked in its cradle. Doctors consider the swing a therapeutic procedure, beneficial for development and health, since the back-and-forth motion soothes and lifts the mood. One of the most famous swings in Ukraine towers on a mountain slope in Mykulychyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, and every day crowds of tourists head here to spend a pleasant time, to feel the joy and to reach seventh heaven.

Nadvirna. The Jewish Necropolis. A City of the Dead Is Not Put on the Tourist Route

Jewish cemeteries in Ukraine are little-studied and almost unknown objects of folk culture that form part of the history of our state. Abroad, such places are popular with tourists and are kept in good condition. A city of the dead is not suitable for a stroll, yet to get an idea of the cultural and historical heritage of the Jewish community in the town of Nadvirna in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, it is enough to visit the north-western sector of the Jewish cemetery.
