The boys' parents will understand me. It's hard to please a 10 year old. Excursions to museums are of little interest to him. And mothers so want to escape somewhere for the weekend. And suddenly...an invitation to archaeological excavations. An ancient settlement with a long history. Secrets and riddles. What if we find a treasure? And we went with Krina. Yuei. Moreover, the impressions of the knightly tournament in Trostyanets, which we got to thanks to this travel agency, have not yet cooled down. Early summer morning, you want to sleep, but what about the treasures and mysteries of antiquity? On the way, on a comfortable bus, with funny guides and interesting stories.

Samo Belskoe hill fort greets you with breathtaking aromas of steppe herbs. The mounds majestically rise to the sky. We soak up this air, admire the wooden and stone sculptures. And slowly we are filled with magical energy. It seems another minute and a rider in a pointed headdress will leave from behind the hill.
Here is his arrowhead. You can touch it, feel the coolness of the metal. The guide warns to be careful. The Scythians smeared such tips with poisons.

We are handed strange metal objects. Semicircular with a ring for hanging. It's a steel, exactly as Andersen described it. Ancestor of lighters. And ancient cradles. They slaughtered not only tobacco, but also aromatic herbs.

And here is the old ring. Which of the Scythian beauties tried it on his finger? Who looked in the bronze mirror, guessing at the betrothed-mummer? Now it's a secret. We peer into the thickets of grass. And suddenly we find something unusual. But no, the settlement knows how to hide secrets.

Let's go to wash away the age-old dust to the Vorskla River. Passing clean water washes away fatigue. Colorful fish tickle your feet. Until we meet again, land of mysteries and wonders. We will definitely come back here with Krajina Yue
