When travel was not yet hindered by quarantine restrictions, I visited a beautiful place - the village of Pylypets.
We went there by express train from Lviv to Mukachevo and got off at Volovets station.
And there the taxi driver pushed us in his minibus and ran steep serpentines with a face-to-face tour of the surrounding landscapes.
By the way, this village is one of the three largest villages in the Mizhhirya region and is located at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level. Indeed, when I got out of the car, I felt such a sublime feeling.
For me, coming to the Carpathians is always a kind of moving to some magical country. This is the majesty of the surrounding mountains and the endless hills that follow each other and look like shadows on the artist's canvas.
The town was very quiet and cozy despite the fact that it is one of the most visited places. Many of you have definitely heard of him. 300 meters from our house was the same waterfall "Shipit".
But you know the task is not to visit a popular tourist attraction, but to turn this trip into a fascinating non-standard adventure.
For example, while everyone is drinking liqueurs after visiting the waterfall, you climbed a nearby mountain on blueberries.
In such places, most likely no one is interested in it, so the bushes are full of large enough blue beads.
So it is unusual to climb a vertical hill and then on the lawn to meet blueberries live, not in a jar on a tray at the seller.
This is exactly what is called getting closer to nature. The waterfall itself is located in a specially fenced area, a kind of reserve.
And there are two ways to get to it, through the fair in a civilized way and through the eco-path through the forest. We chose the wilder option and walked through the forest.
In general, I am not some experienced mushroom picker or blueberry collector for sale, who comes to the forest for a specific case and for him the trees and hills are a common thing to which he does not pay attention.
As a person of inspiration, I always emphasize the diversity of the forest. These towering pines, which grow steeply and mysteriously do not fall.
Every time I admire them again and again.
These beautiful trunks are illuminated and these are deep green prickly branches.
Such a powerful immersion in the harmony of the forest, automatically renews the person.
Along the way, the eco-trail is complemented by many wooden bridges across the side streams.
All the way to the main waterfall goes along the river Ploshanka, from which this waterfall was created.
I really liked how cool the trees looked, which were leaning over the river, it was very comfortable to sit on them.
In general, I am a big fan of climbing trees and use every opportunity to climb the first best tree.
And here is the main bridge that is made across the stream flowing directly from the waterfall.
Here is the finish line to the waterfall.
What a really big waterfall for Ukraine. No wonder it is called one of the largest and most picturesque waterfalls in Ukraine.
Such a beautiful and powerful drop of water. These splashes of his from all sides look so epic.
Greatly refreshing, especially when it's summer. Also in the recess into which this waterfall falls, a kind of mini Jacuzzi is formed and whoever is brave can dive there and poke a little.
In addition to the main object in the village there will be other entertainment, both in the village and on its outskirts. If you want adrenaline then you will be offered a tour with bright landscapes and impressions - to ride on the high and steep roads of the mountains on this SUV.
But it will also be interesting to walk around the most cozy town.
There are a lot of themed trays. Wine, cheese, souvenirs, but most of all I liked the coffee tray.
As a new fan of Turkish coffee, I was very happy to see such a stand where a guy on the sand brewed coffee in a cezve with various spices.
I really liked the fact that there was such an asphalt road from the reserve to our house and it was very convenient to walk.
Just along it stood all the stands with products for tourists.
In the Carpathians, cheese is very common and there are many types of it from the usual to with spices, etc. And again we are haunted by bridge.
In that place near the Shipit Reserve, I saw a very strange thing, felled trees that resembled a dam.
Probably such constructions are made to support the shores and they did not shift. And that in the end the earth under houses didn't fall apart.
Here, for example, there will probably soon be a new hotel or private "villa." Hope it will be just as cozy I was at our hotel.
Located between the thickets near the river, on which we walked barefoot in the morning.
