The Department of Tourism and Resorts of the Lviv Oblast is launching a project that has not yet been implemented in the Lviv Oblast – a blog tour of various parts of the region.
The project envisages 10 issues that will reveal the tourist potential of Lviv Oblast, show its versatility and motivate travelers to visit little-known areas that are often underestimated by tourists.
“This project aims not only to draw attention to tourist attractions of the Lviv region, but also to show people who create special locations with a special atmosphere, local cuisine, ethnic traditions. This is the diversity that our region can offer – natural locations, mountains, reservoirs, national parks, active attractions, architectural monuments, sacred buildings, tourist locations,” says the head of the Lviv OVA, Maksym Kozytskyi.
The project will contribute to the recognition of tourist objects, the development of the tourism industry, the filling of local budgets and the improvement of the sphere of transportation, catering, tourist support and the souvenir industry.
“There is tourism, tourism is developing despite the war and adverse conditions. Today we have record amounts of tourist tax, which is more than 25 million hryvnias in 7 months, for which we thank a conscious business that works honestly and makes its contribution to the development of communities and the region. Tourism is necessary for physical and emotional recovery, as well as for the rehabilitation of our defenders, so we hope that this project will also contribute to the development of the entire industry,” added Maksym Kozytskyi.
The first issue is about Chervonograd. Mines or industrial enterprises immediately come to mind, but this area has much to surprise. You will see:
rafting on kayaks and snowshoes, you will learn another interesting name of Chervonograd (no, no, not Krystynopil);
patriotic quest based on real events of the early 1940s;
unique Sokal ceramics, which claims to be on the list of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine;
the pantheon in memory of fallen soldiers of the UPA and the Cossack church;
the incomparable Easter eggs of the Chervonograd master Taras Horodetskyi, which to this day no one can reproduce, only on larger egg sizes;
sacred and architectural monuments, one of which has a fresco of Putin burning in hell.
