Karmeliuk’s Podillia National Nature Park
Vinnytsia region
About park
The wildcat prowls carefully in the thickets, graceful roe deer walk, badgers and foxes come out of their burrows to hunt. In the meadows, blue, purple and white heads of the Eastern pasqueflower (Pulsatilla patens) stand out in all their beauty, the flowers of the snowdrop anemone (Anemone sylvestris) impress with their whiteness and the pheasant’s eye (Adonis vernalis) nods with all its yellow flowers from the bright bushes. Rare Listera ovata hides itself under the green tent of oak groves. High in the sky, the booted eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) and the lesser spotted eagle (Clanga pomarina) hover, looking for their prey. The stork walks loftily around the meadows.
Travellers come here not only to admire the nature, but also to take part in ethno-festivals and forums.
