In the village of Levkiv, the tourists visited a wooden church, where they met Father Vasyl, who was a military chaplain, and had the opportunity to talk to the sexton, who showed and told them about an old book, paintings and murals.

In the second part of the excursion, the University staff made an ‘eco-tour’ through the mountains to the Nirod Waterfall and visited the springs with healing water “Krynychky” and “Rudia”. In addition, they walked through a birch grove and followed a path to the Scythian Lake-Whale, where they visited the island of Love. On their way back to Kyiv, the tourists had the opportunity to see the remains of the count’s estate, the Nirod Palace.
