CHerkasshchina - the native land Khmelnitskiy

Shortly about a trip on the Cherkassk area where we have gone with the friends, which were from these places and, accordingly, could prompt where exactly to go and what to look. It seems, it was first my distant trip by the car. It is possible to reach there several routes, as on right (through Butts, Kagarlyk, Mironovku), and on the left coast of Dnepr (Borispol, perejaslav, Zolotonosha). We provereli both roads. An exact route any more I will not recollect, so I can not give the recommendation and from the point of view of quality of roads, besides, that the left-bank variant has seemed to me a little bit better. Therefore it is short about sights.

These places svjazanja from one of the most outstanding historic figures of Ukraine - hetman Bogdanom Khmelnitskiy (1595-1657). Here there was a manor of his father, here he and was born, for these earths it has lifted revolt, here was at war with Poles and won, from here operated the Cossack state and in the same places has been buried. Visitings are worthy such historical points, as CHigirin, Subboats, Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, Cold JAr. Here are located also well-known "shevchenkovskie places" - Kanev, Morintsy and SHevchenkovo - which visiting as can be switched on in a trip route. We there went separately.

To begin it is possible with CHigirina which once was residence Bogdana Khmelnitskiy and capital of the hetman state. It is known from first half XVI century, as strengthened kozatskaja wintering. Also was a frontier city of the polsko-Lithuanian state. In 1638-47 chigirinskim strostoj was Was Khmelnitskiy, from here begun the hetman career and made city the centre of the extensive possession. After destruction in 1678 iperenesenija Cossack capital in Baturin the city has lost the value and has gradually turned to usual district. High-grade historical monuments of type of a palace Khmelnitskiy there it was not saved, therefore visitings the mountain is worthy only Zamkovaja (Bogdanova). She almost in city centre not to notice it is impossible (a reference point - a huge monument Khmelnitskiy). Almost to the top it is possible to call in by car. In some places the fortification rests – walls and towers were saved. In a city there is a museum Khmelnitskiy.

It is literally in ten kilometres from CHigirina the village of Subboats (an accent on) is located. Once was farm of a family Khmelnitskiy, here he and was born. On the central area there is monument Bogdanu, here hotel (about level and the prices I know nothing). From here slightly on mountain it is possible to get directly to the main sight – constructed Bogdanom Ilinsky church which became subsequently its tomb. Very interesting style "Cossack barroko" – at once it is visible, that the church served also as a bastion for protection of adjoining territories. The church image can be seen on a denomination in 5 griven. Nearby there is a hatka-museum with subjects of a country life. Here, on waste ground, the manor Khmelnitskiy, burnt by Poles on which place there is a stone plate settled down. Here the Cossack gun is established. On an entrance there is a small parking place, the security guard in a box sits. It is possible to ask it about excursion which will be spent by the cool young lady-guide – terribly poetic nature pouring the speech by citations from Shevchenko by well put pathos actor's voice. :) And in church - the advanced young priest now serves in jeans and with a mobile phone. :)

In other party from the main area one more historical place - "Three krinitsy" is located. The direction will be prompted by the tablet-index. About kilometre on a cobblestone road of a very narrow curve small street, then long abrupt descent in a hollow to wells. About them different legends, but that taste of water in each of the nearby wells, really different, it is possible to be convinced personally go.

Further it is possible to go in Cold JAr (say, that temperature below always on 3-5 degrees more low, than above) where the well-known Motronensky monastery with Troitsk church is located and whence revolts Zaliznjaka and gajdamakov began. The monastery is opened for visiting though I inside did not happen also impressions I can not share. Itself jar is whole system of ravines, beams, hills and natural boundaries, all porosshee dense deciduous wood. Monument Zaliznjaku costs in village Medvedevka, and well-known thousand-year oak Zaliznjaka grows in village Buda. Present Cossacks like to arrange near it the of a meeting. :)

At last, Korsun-Shevchenkovsky. Here there is a well-known manor Lopuhinyh 18 century – one of the best landscape gardening complexes of Ukraine in style of romanticism, after Sofievki and Alexandrias. Very much I recommend to fans of landscapes. :) There is also palace Lopuhinyh, but inside all "osovetcheno" an exposition devoted by the Second World War and Korsun-Shevchenkovsky fight. In an exposition mainly personal things of the glorified generals, only in the main hall interesting enough exhibition of the trophy weapon. There is I.Soshenko's monument on its tomb, an observation post of Cossack times, B.Hmelnitskomu's monument, stella in honour of T.Shevchenko's stay in 1859, a chestnut of Shevchenko in dendroparke. Actually, Korsun has received the present double name in 1944 in honour of Kobzarja which throughout some time here veins and drew landscapes of the Ukrainian nature.

Here, actually, and all. I will add, that we spent the night on one of numerous camp sites on coast Rosi under Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, on road on with. Vygraev, but business was in the summer. For a dense dinner or a supper I recommend a restaurant complex "Mlin", that on district around Korsunja - it is tasty and it is inexpensive.
