"Березовый Рай" "Birch Paradise"

"Birch Paradise".
Basically, everyone comes to the Vinnitsa railway station, since Khmilnik itself is a small town with a local population of 30 thousand. Vinnitsa is 40 km away. At the station, taxi drivers will not leave you alone, so it is impossible to get lost. In an hour you are already at Gaia.
We arrived early in the morning..... Oil painting - a former pioneer camp, damp, cold. I'm in a coma.
Settled quickly, gave the booked room. We had a standard with our own bathroom. Entering the room, I began to come to life, expecting Soviet pillows and interiors, I saw minimalism, new (albeit modest) furniture, a normal mattress (not a hammock) and clean new linen. Weak, but there is Wi-Fi. Uraaaaaa, I'm going to dig in here, I thought.

But, relatives who came with me (and there were only 10 of us with infants), decided the entire day route for me. Uncle Dr. Melnik was waiting for me, to whom I was skeptical. I was taken to a separate building, where the doctor occupied the apartment (later we called this building a torture house, because of the procedures carried out in this building - wave therapy, gas injections....etc. Everything is very painful, but effective. These procedures paid). I think I won't say anything, I'll partisan. And what was my surprise when the doctor, looking at me, scanned all the problems of my exhausted body. For the guests of "Guy" consultations are free, people came from outside - 50 UAH. I was imbued with respect for the doctor and my mood improved (I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to find an intelligent doctor here - my last bitter experience of a local sculptor is a blessing to the Malaya Institute).
I go out into the street - and oh, a miracle, the sun, birds, forest, clean air, indescribable beauty. Further appointment of a doctor. After that, a specially trained person draws up a schedule for the procedures and prints them out on a computer. I paid with a PrivatBank card, there is a terminal at the reception (I broke the tradition of keeping money in various interesting places and sleeping with half an eye).
There are two sanatoriums nearby, they are trade unions, the territory is very impressive, but what is happening inside the rooms, in the dining room, during procedures……. everyone unanimously resented and quietly envied our "pioneer camp". Yes, there is still animation there - an uncle with a button accordion, uuuuuuuuuuuuuu fire pensioners, wondered where and what hurts them ! ? In the same place, a brass band visits, there is also a mini-market. I really liked the market because it saved me a lot of money. Buy nothing but souvenirs (IMHO). Drinking establishments in assortment.
Next is the dining room. Two halls, one with a radio, the other without. We have enough circus in life, so we went into silence. There are chairs for children. Vitamin table (carrots, cabbage, beets,.......ketchup, mustard and lemons for tea). But you need to come on time, as some "hungry" rake everything clean. Although, it still remains. Take as much as your stomach desires.
The menu is custom-made, there is a diet. There is a lot of food, we are a little swollen there and our clothes have shrunk. I liked pastries and homemade dumplings, dumplings, noodles. Well, how not to eat a pampushka if it is so ruddy, with a crust, smells like garlic and looks at you?!

Procedures: radon (what everyone goes for). Baths in the sanatorium nearby, go through the woods, depending on how fast you walk. My journey took 5 minutes. The bathtubs are dead, but the nurse disinfects and collects water in front of you. At first, my imagination painted a picture of how someone was necessarily dismembered in these baths, and then they ate....but I got used to it 3 times. The main thing is that at the time of ablution, repairmen do not go, and they often hunt for this.
All other procedures took place in the "Gaya". There are a lot of them - electrical procedures, physical procedures, Evminov's shop, exercise therapy. There is a beauty parlor, very worthy. Facial cleansing - 160 UAH, chakra stone 200, anti-cellulite massage, vacuum massage, just a massage. Speaking of additional payment - this is only your initiative, we did not pay extra and received a quality massage. The attitude is friendly, the endurance is amazing (we were with children, and our children are without complexes, but manageable, we prohibit only what is life-threatening). Almost everyone was able to find a way. The nerves of the staff are reinforced concrete.
What is damp - yes, cool - yes (the children were given a heater). But all this is compensated by the fact that “Guy” is in the forest and, imagine the morning, you are still basking in a warm bed, and outside the window the birds are singing in the forest, clean air. All this + hospitality of the staff + professionalism did their job. We liked everything and will try to come back.
P. S. Trips to the city. Near "Gai" there is a final bus stop, it takes 15 minutes to get to the city, it costs 2.5 UAH. It's impossible to get lost. Everything in the city is very sad, but optimistic. There is "Silpo", some kind of abandoned castle, a river. Russian speakers are a local curiosity, but no one showed aggression. Were in Kamenetz-Podlsky on excursions, who are interested, I will answer questions. That still trip, with adventures, but we, in a different way, do not know how.
