The Seven Natural Wonders of Ukraine

Although the Seven Wonders idea quite landmarks and places of cultural interest rightly drew attention to the buildings, in Ukraine, there is still more to tell about this country that some locals and the outside world should hear. For this reason, the public was asked to take part in a second vote - this time focussing on places of natural beauty. They came up with seven truly spectacular sites. They are all worth a visit but, for now, here are just two of them.

Askania Nova is a nature reserve which was established in 1898. With hundreds of species of grasses and flowers, this is a largely untouched area of natural steppe. The area maintains a safe environment for the many species of birds, some of which are quite rare. It is often the mammals, however, that eager tourists come to see. Among the animals is Przewalski's horse, the only species of horse which can be truly considered to be wild. Within the confines of the reserve, there is a small town and several villages. Access is mainly by bus.

Dnistrovsky Canyon is another of the natural wonders, but here, you will find a lot more evidence of human settlement. The canyon itself stretches for 250 kilometres of rocky terrain with an abundance of plants, birds and wildlife. The steep sides of the canyon provide for breathtaking scenery at many points along its length. Walking along the River Dniester, expect to find caves and waterfalls, as well as villages boasting impressive landmarks such as churches, monasteries, fortresses and castles. For the adventurous, there are perfect conditions for rafting, so you can combine the challenge of the rapids with the beauty of the landscape.
