As soon as we find place our asses on the sidelines, as the car stopped and an elderly man on the penny picked us up, warning that only goes up to Yarmolentseva. On the road showed us the place where a couple of years ago, after leaving his son crashed into the oncoming lane. But nothing happened concussion and fig impressions. Learning that we're going to Hawtin, said he was not in a hurry and dropped us in town, and right on track in Kamenetz.
And you do not believe it, but in less than 10 minutes as we drove. Behind the wheel sat an elderly man, and beside his wife. They do not understand us, telling us that it is better to buy a ticket on the train or ride the bus, but we proved them wrong and brought its advantages.
Toll (grandfather) and his wife told us an interesting story. In daily life realities are often close to mysticism. Therefore it is not always possible to divide between the true, real and fictional.
According to legend, in a valley near the village of Vihrovka Dunaevetskogo area during the national liberation war in 1648-1654 there was a fierce battle between a Cossack detachment and the Polish army. Despite the superior forces of the enemy, our heroic ancestors were able to win a convincing victory. It is said that Poles were chopped so much that their blue-water County, even it was not visible in the surrounding lakes.
were killed in this bloody battle and a few hundred Cossacks. Fearless daredevils Twin buried on the battlefield. Since then, it's called Cossack valley.
And over time, when things moved a little bit of the XVII century on the second plan, the descendants of just paving the way for Kamenetz-Podolsk. And she allegedly had been laid right through the grave. And it is here that those heroes are buried distant events, the old-timers say vihrovskie. People remember that, when a roadside shelterbelt even saw an old stone cross.
But what is remarkable. On the road segment within the valley is very often had a car accident and at great sacrifice. And this despite the fact that the road is smooth, and visibility for drivers is excellent. Along the way there were many memorable crosses killed in car accidents. The trees were always covered with crows. Local residents have linked this crime to abuse of the Cossack bones, and on a long-standing Christian tradition, decided to honor the memory of the slain. Three years ago on the initiative and financial support of the chieftain Dunaevetskogo Zaporozhian hut in the valley of the Cossacks was poured Barrow and blessed cross, dozens of other crosses were removed. Unbelievable, but during this time, there the area of highway not a single accident! Voronov, we also were not observed.Reaching the
Dunaevcy, we came to the local drugstore and buying medicine for a sore throat went on (this is the result of my "warm" sleep last night). Had to go through the city, the heat was incredible, and backpacks on their shoulders and the other was right ... that does not weigh enough.Having
in half an hour out of town was hard to find a good place to vote because the road there is a "rovnenko" and on the turns no one will. But all the same place we've found and stopped the bus! The driver agreed to take us to learn how we are going and where. He was heading in Kamenetz. Inside were empty seats and I'm a little nap, did not notice, as has been found in the city.
duo arrived in the tourist "mecca" of Western Ukraine in the afternoon, and we had plenty of time for sightseeing. We left things in the luggage at the station and went to see the city.
primarily visited the bridge "Running Doe," where I wanted to experience the Rope - jumping, but no luck, not a soul on the bridge, as I later learned that the season is already open - not just be in luck.
We visited all there is to it. Visited the old town hall, the Cathedral, the fortress. Do you like Smotrych River, which is located in the city, as well as other historical monuments ..
Watching this wonderful city we took things from the lockers and went to the track.
Sun through time had been to sit down and we thought that this time we get there without any problems at Hawtin. But no! All anyone did not stop, Muscovites were (which were sent to the festival), that is redneck or taxi drivers who did not want to lead us without cache. We went on foot (25 km to the fest).
's been half an hour from the time we stop - stopped a taxi uncle himself with Khotina and knowing people like us with no problems picked us up.
got there at night. Waking up went to the festival. Blushed beer and climbed all day in the city.
P.S End 1 part. In general, this is our first trip hitchhiking. Cache, we had the minimum.
