Lviv's Fountains, Waterfalls and Water Jets. Oases of Beauty and Inspiration on Holiday

Lviv's fountains on holiday. After the equipment was dismantled, they were prepared for the winter season. The nozzles were washed with special high-pressure cleaners, the accumulated debris was cleared away, and everything was mothballed until spring. Fountains always adorn squares, green zones and the grounds of educational and health institutions, and they are among the most beautiful architectural masterpieces. I invite you on a photo and video walk through Lviv to structures that demonstrate the use of the law of universal gravitation, engineering logic and designer imagination. 

Train No. 130 Kremenchuk-Vorokhta. The Nadvirna-Mykulychyn Section

Passenger train No. 130 Kremenchuk-Vorokhta links the centre and the west of Ukraine, an industrial and academic region with the Carpathian land. Residents of the Poltava and Kyiv regions travel by train to Lviv, to Ivano-Frankivsk and to a place of active recreation — the mountain resorts of the Nadvirna area.

 

Vovkiv. From Market Square to the Church, the Wooden Church and the Museum

Every town or village has its own experience of preserving historical sites and architectural monuments, which together make up Ukraine's cultural landscape and keep alive the memory of particular events or figures. The village of Vovkiv lies 20 km south of Lviv, in the floodplain of the Zubra River. It is first mentioned in 1398 and has a centuries-old history.

 

Fursove. The Kurgan — the Highest Point of the Mezhova Area

Kurgans — the burial places of the ancient Sarmatians and Scythians — are under threat of disappearing. As a rule, kurgans are interesting for the unusualness of their structures, and these steppe summits have cultural and historical value. There are ever fewer of these earthen giants among the agricultural fields.
