WHEN I TORTURED A BAD DREAM (Ending)
Kherson at the height of summer is asphalt roads melting from the heat and red-hot stone labyrinths of city blocks. Of course, the locals are accustomed to such a climate. But visitors are looking for salvation.
It's good to be in the cool interior of the bus after the heat of the steppe. It is imposing to fall apart on a comfortable seat and contemplate the landscapes passing by the window. The district center Chaplynka is not so far away.
A straight road leads from Chaplynka to the desired village of Grigorovka. But her condition is to be the best. The last four-kilometer segment of the steppe primer puts the final point in the journey. And, finally, the coveted healing pit, sparkling in the sun with salt crystals and amazing pink water.
According to legend, millions of years ago, the waves of the ancient Lemurian Sea splashed here. And a small pink piece of healing moisture has survived to this day. Reality, as always, is boring and mundane. In 1969, a military aircraft crashed on this site. There was a huge explosion. As a result of which a funnel was formed, which quickly filled with salt water.
The plane was very secret and the military worked very hard to collect the remains. Why they dug up both the place of the fall and the surroundings. As a result of such barbaric intervention, a source was opened. This is probably one of the very few cases where a person's act led to a positive result. In a very specific place. Because healing brine comes out only here.
Officially, it refers to salt-saturated, weakly sulfide, chloride-magnesium-sodium peloids. Simply put, a very salty mixture of minerals and organic compounds. Accordingly, it must be applied without departing from the cash register. Because upon contact with air, irreversible changes begin. And dirt loses its unique properties.
The main one among them is that mud is a natural biostimulant. A specific natural catalyst for the hidden reserves of the human body. What could be more natural.
Vigov LLC is engaged in the treatment process directly on the spot. This is the only company in the country that has a state license for the development of Sivash mud, as well as for their packaging and sale.
Balneologists recommend taking mud treatments every other day. Since this is a very strong load on the body. As a rule, the course of treatment is ten applications. That is, a person should expect at least three weeks of stay at the resort.
The peak season is July and August. It seemed to be a debilitating heat. But, the fact is that the mud must be hot. Then its efficiency increases significantly. Or make multiple passes. And in the intervals between dives, take a walk along the shore of the bay and breathe in the no less healing air, saturated with salts and aromas of steppe herbs.
Surprisingly, even a single dose has a magical effect on the body. And those who have completed a full-fledged course leave rejuvenated and filled with the energy of this miraculous land. And they come back again and again. To the source of strength and health.
And then another bus and another crossing. This time to the very end of the Kherson region to the Sea of Azov.
The Arabat arrow can be called an excellent model of unrealized opportunities. But a hundred-kilometer sandy spit connecting the mainland with the Crimean peninsula, as if specially created by nature for recreation. There are no more such gorgeous beaches in Ukraine. Moreover, on the one hand lies the Sea of u200bu200bAzov, on the other - the Sivash Bay. And we should not forget about the unique sources of thermal mineral water.
On the shore at the base of the spit lies the city of Genichesk. From it to the Novoalekseevka station, which stands on the strategic Kharkiv-Simferopol highway, is only about twenty kilometers. This short branch has more or less regular train service. There are also buses and minibuses. And of course the ubiquitous taxi drivers. So there are no special problems to get to Genichesk.
Until recently, the airport was in Genichesk. But his runway was dismantled. And now these powerful slabs serve as a road surface on Arabatka. Just enough to pave the way to the village of Strelkovoe. And here, in general, the territory of the Kherson region ends. Next is the Crimean possessions.
To get to the spit, you have to drive across the bridge across two straits - Thin and Promoina. Then twenty minutes of sobering shaking and finally the desired point. The Garden of Eden hotel complex is located in the center of the resort village of Genicheskaya Gorka, 10 km from Genichesk.
The buildings of the Garden of Eden Hotel really stand right in the garden. And there are heavenly apples. True, they are small. But in this branch of heaven on earth you can find a lot of other tasty things. Although there is a much larger selection in a restaurant with such a pretentious name "Noah's Ark". Surprisingly, it also works on the buffet system. With a hint, so to speak, of Turkey.
Among the trees are three residential buildings with their own names. The largest of them is Clover. It really does look like a cloverleaf. And it is closest to the sea. Kedar follows him. And closest to the Garnet road. It also has its own SPA center.
Cases have their own personal design. Moreover, almost every room is made in its own way. By the way, there are more than a dozen of them. As they say for every taste and budget. There are also two pools. Probably for those who are too lazy to walk a couple of tens of meters to the sea.
And this is the main attraction. Boundless, brackish and surprisingly warm. And also with a very gentle descent. Ideal for parents with children. And a sandy beach. With seashells. The most interesting specimens of which are regularly collected by guests for souvenirs every morning. After all, the main principle here is - I found it myself!
