Yaremche. A Walk in the Park of Miniatures

Parks of miniatures enjoy great popularity with tourists and have an educational purpose. Adults and children feel like Gullivers in the land of the Lilliputians as they walk among the scaled-down copies of palaces, castles and natural landmarks. In Ukraine, parks of miniatures have been created in Kyiv, in the Crimea, and since 2015 in Yaremche in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. This small open-air museum presents the architectural and natural landmarks of the Carpathian land.
