Pyrohiv. Wooden windmills

Over the steppe, above the valleys, the wind played with the feather grass,

and it came upon an old, abandoned windmill.

And the wind called out to it:

"For nigh on half a century now

you have stood here alone, as if enchanted forever."

(A song by Bohdan Kyik)

The windmills at the open-air museum in Pyrohiv are its most recognisable exhibits and the most popular subjects for romantic photo shoots.
