Khram Pokrova Pryesvyatoyi Bohorodytsi

This is a place of power. As if nothing unusual, a kind of wooden church, made in duhi Cossacks, ie wrong era, but the atmosphere ... especially in bad weather ... it reminds me a little house, where Thomas Brutus had read the burial of the young lady.

Khortytsya is the largest river island in Europe. Mysterious and unusually beautiful, mysterious and warlike, there is a special nature and energy, here our roots and sacral freedom. On this earth walked Shevchenko, looking for inspiration Repin, Bunin and Gorky. On the glorious island, remembered the Great Herodotus, who by the way, visited here and described the fairy land to Gilea, where Hercules met the Serpent and she gave birth to him three sons and only one of them - Skif, managed to pull the aunt of his father's bow and stand at the head of the Scythian clan . There are still hundreds of caves open in the rocks, in one of them - Zmeeva, when the three-headed Serpent inhabited horror all over the district, he was met and described by the heroes, crooks and Cossacks. On the Black Rock, the famous Svyatoslav Igorevich father of Vladimir the Great was basely murdered, and in 2011 a local fisherman pulled out a sword, possibly belonging to a prince, with a conventional fishing rod. Contrary to popular belief, there was never Zaporozhye Sich on Khortitsa, it was located on a neighboring island, but the Cossacks inhabited and settled on this land, and also built defensive fortifications. Until now, walking in the wild, dense thickets of the island, you can stumble upon the ancient burial mounds, Cossack cemeteries, it is said that on one of them archaeologists stumbled upon burials of characters stabbed with stakes and lying face down. The island has incredible energy, it is considered to be a place of power, there are many sanctuaries, temples, mysterious stones and idols of different cultures, it's not for nothing that Khortytsa enters the 7 Wonders of Ukraine.) It would be necessary, somehow, to conquer the island - to pass it from beginning to end, this about 12 km. and who knows what can open up to me on the way.

Interestingly entertaining.
