Stone tomb in Zaporozhye region

The stone grave is located not far from the Village of Mirny in the Melitopol district of the Zaporozhye Region. This is one of the most ancient monuments of this kind in the territory of Ukraine. The place is a stone mound with a height of 12 meters and a diameter of 3 kilometers, where there are 62 stone caves where scientists found 160 stone tablets with inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century BC. Presumably they were left behind by the Arya tribes living in those days in the south of Ukraine, who later migrated to Iran and India.

This is a great place for those who want to “recharge” energy and meditate.

Devich Mountain in Tripoli

Devich Mountain is considered one of the most powerful places of female power. If you believe in “old times’ legends,” in pagan times here was the sanctuary of the patroness of the female goddess Virgo (hence the name, in fact,), so men on Devich Mountain were not allowed under the threat of death. But women are always open to it – at all times the most frequent guests here were those who could not get pregnant, or pregnant women who wanted to give birth to a healthy child.

Bakota in Transnistria

Bakota – a village in Transnistria, a place of archaeological excavations, pagan sanctuaries, strong energy and beautiful scenic landscapes.

The village is known for its rock monastery of the XI century, the remains of which are nearby. This monastery, located in caves, according to historians and archaeologists, is the oldest in Podillia. Natural springs with water, beating nearby, are considered curative.

The area is unique not only with its natural beauty and cultural monuments. Meteorologists compare the microclimate of Bakota with Yalta. Even nature reminds the Crimea. Mountain air, rocks that have become an obstacle to cold winds, stony and pebbly beaches, diverse vegetation and wildlife make up the unique ecosystem of the region.

Dovbush rocks in the Carpathians

In the X-XVII century BC there was a pagan sanctuary. With the spread of Christianity in its place, an Old Russian cave monastery-skete was formed, and then a sentry fortress that stood until the 16th century. Ancient legends say that the detachments of Oleksa Dovbush kept in these caves the “good” selected from the rich.

Dovbush rocks also attract tourists with “purgatory” – a narrow tunnel between rocks, through which a man can hardly pass. Having passed through this tunnel, you can throw off all your sins.

Khortitsa Island in the Zaporozhye region

Island Khortitsa modern esoterics are called one of the most energetically strong places in the country. Geologically, this island was formed several billion years ago by a fracture of the rock, which was later washed by the Dnipro. Over time, Khortytsya was filled with vegetation, but there were “granite rapids” at its edges. There is still a place called “Dumna skelya”: the Cossacks used it for prayers. Bioenergetics confirm that there is a huge place of power here.

The land here is also special, and the Cossacks took a piece of their native land with them in any hike as an amulet. When the Sich was dispersed, some Cossacks had to swear an oath to the Turkish sultan, who allowed them to create the Transdanubian Sich. Introducing before him, they vowed to protect the land on which they stand. Well, as in the boots they poured the earth with his native Khortitsa, they remained true to her. There were certain prayers in the Cossacks, which were said, only standing barefoot on the ground and charging with its energy.

Askania-Nova in the Kherson region

The astonishing positive energy of the Askania-Nova Reserve was noted even by NASA scientists. Local residents fully agree with them. Lie in the smelling herbs of the present Ukrainian steppe and fill your body and soul with natural energy will not hurt anyone, bioenergetics are sure. Local guides claim that if you listen, it seems that the steppe buzzes, absorbing the differences of bumblebees, larks, voices of animals. One can feel how far the deer run, how important the bison or horses go-the steppe lives as a mythical creature and transfers its energy, gives strength, health and inspiration. Enjoying the unity with wildlife, it seems that, really, gaining strength.

Nearly 100 archeological monuments have been found on the territory of the landscape park, which represent a continuous chronological series from the Paleolithic to the formation of the Slavic ethnos.

Buk canyon in the Cherkasy region

It is also considered a place of power. This rocky canyon, whose age is estimated at 2 billion years. The canyon is narrow, sometimes 20-40 meters wide, and deep enough for a steppe area – up to 20 meters. Before the entrance to the Buk canyon, the waters of Gorny Tikich swiftly roll down from the granite blocks, thereby creating a noisy two-meter waterfall-roll Vyr. Near it, in the nineteenth century, a large water mill was built, from which only picturesque fragments were preserved.

In 1972, the Buk canyon, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Central Ukraine, was given the status of a state nature monument of local importance.

Its length is about 134 meters, and the maximum depth is 2.8 meters. The water in it is slightly mineralized, and remoteness from large industrial centers and a large crowd of people allows it to be clean and transparent the whole year.
