Svyatogorsk is a city of temples, sacred places and chalk caves. It is here that Orthodox tourists come out from all the towns and villages of Ukraine, and, of course, from the neighboring neighboring countries. Here they seek to read prayers for health and well-being of your friends, relatives or loved ones. This place is also known to the younger age: it is imperative at least in the time of school education children are taken to develop excursions to this sacred mountain city. What to do focus in Svyatogorsk? Based on my bright school memories, the first thing to show schoolchildren is the most famous Holy Assumption Laurel in the Orthodox world. At 5 in the morning it already swing the doors, and it works tentatively until 11 o'clock in the morning. In order to enter the threshold of Svyatogorsk temples (there are many of them) Girls should take effect on the long skirts and do not forget to cover the head with handkerchiefs, boys are also desirable not to "sparkle" too short shorts. By the way, if you forget the handkerchief - in front of the gateway there is a shopping strap, in which already sanctified icons, icons, rosary and handkerchings are being implemented.
In the Lavra is very interesting. All travelers can visit local caves in which monks prayed. Newbies excursion will love. Stretch is quite a long line. It makes sense. It is worth stocking brakes. The entrance is 8 hryvnia, pay and from 9 to 16 you fall on any of the excursions. By the way, you also need to buy a candle that you will highlight the way - there is very dark. You will raise inside the cliff very high, and you can see the beauty of the sacred place from the Kieli window.
In addition, Svyatogorsk is the place of forests and fresh air. It is very cool to gain strength, rest from people, noise and urban worries. Wonderful landscapes give all the cool photos. Walking around the city, you will certainly inspect the monument to Hero Artem. He "lives" on the top of Svyatogorsk chalk mountains.
Next to the monument to Artem is an impressive size monument - Oak Kamyshev, as well as a wooden church, built without nails, bottomless and also a bath lake. And, where without them?, At every turn - la rays with original souvenirs, icons and other tourist "shimulats".
You can get to the city of Svyatogorsk by bus. If you travel from Donetsk, the buses here go from the bus station "Western" daily from 6 am (last of 5 pm)
Local accommodation rent at each step - both rooms and houses in the private sector, and highlighted rooms in hotels.
