Trip to Ukraine: The gazebo Swallow's Nest in Zaporozhye

Territory of the dispensary of Zaporizhstal located on the western coast of the island of Khortitsa on the river of Dnieper, on granite rocky mountains. On this rock early as 1935 built two beautiful gazebos, standing on a precipice over the river. During the years of World War II most of the health center and one of the gazebos was destroyed and the second building survived.

Now, when the dispensary is working again, this gazebo still standing above the river of Dnieper. From here opens an incredibly beautiful view to the river, the rocks of the right bank, and the island of Bayda, dividing the channel of the Old Dnieper.

From here it is very good to look at the sunsets - the sun moves over the right bank, and in the evening a sunlight sky is beautifully reflected in water of the river.

This gazebo is a favorite holiday destination for many residents and visitors of Zaporozhye city. Very often people come here during the celebration of wedding and this has already become a good tradition. In last years that gazebo get the name "Swallow's Nest", by analogy with the world-famous arbor on the edge of a mountain precipice in Crimea.

You can get to the gazebo through Zaporozhstal's dispensary or along the path that leads here from the side of a beach along the shore.
