So beautiful and incredible history. We were moved with beautiful energy.
Not recommended for tourists or people with children!
Beware of the cashier: When international tourists and Ukrainians are waiting at the entrance, they don't let foreigners in, no matter who was first.
Simple but very cozy and history-filled. Don't miss the archery place some 50 meters from here
