We decided to go directly to the mountains - to look at the Dovbush Rocks. For those who do not know, Oleksa Dovbush is a popular Carpathian hero of the XVIII century. The mountain ensemble itself consists of several rocks, which can be bypassed on one side by a convenient wide road and reach the central plain among them, or go a narrow, inconvenient and quite dangerous path through the rocks. There is a legend among the people that calls this path "purgatory": allegedly a person who has walked this path and come to the plain is cleansed of all sins. It would seem that special, but in some places the distance between the rocks is only 20-30 centimeters wide! Feelings are contradictory and indescribable: the cave between the rocks is getting darker and darker, the squeaking and rustling of bats' wings, the echo of dripping water - it seems that there is no way out!
For a while you move in the twilight, squeezing in those 30 centimeters and start thinking that it's time to lose weight and do yourself, give mental promises to go to the gym ...Well, children have fewer sins, so they quickly slipped on the trail. When a ray of light as thin as a cobweb appears in front of you, then you REALLY understand what "light at the end of the tunnel" is. Here they are: the cherished surface, a breath of air, the light of the sun! You begin to appreciate what you take for granted. Alice and Margo, being upstairs, said with genuine surprise: "Mom, we have real adventures, like Dasha from the cartoon (cartoon" Dasha the Pathfinder "or Dora the Explorer)". Upstairs we were greeted by a whole ensemble of rock caves, but our attention was drawn to a fabulous and unusual rock: if you look closely, you can see the image of a lion. According to folk legend, this lion guards the treasures buried here, which no one has yet found.
There is also a staircase where you can climb the "mane" of this lion - and appreciate the stunning views of the Carpathians. There, upstairs, is the Stone of Wishes, which can be touched and make a cherished wish.

Far away, in the waves of the Carpathian beeches,
The Ukrainian national hero lived there.
And the poor people, under the oppressive yoke
Did he defend, did he lead the troops? m.

Oleksa is Dovbush - People's Hero!
Who gave people food, peace? and.
Wealth, from the lords who took away,
He hid them all in the rock with Lev.

And the Lion - the immortal guarded them,
While our hero distributed them to people.
And still that Lion, standing there on the rocks,
Inflicts fear and terror on enemies.

Protects the simple, rejoices with children,
But he will not leave the rock!

Therefore, people named the nearest city
In honor of that Lion! Let everyone remember!
Now Lviv is flourishing, with the smell of coffee,
One of the most beautiful cities of Nenka-State!

And this legend is a fiction m? I!
Or maybe it was? The rock of the Hero knows! (my)
