Yuzhnoukrainsk is a young city, which was built as a satellite of South Ukrainian nuclear power plant. This power plant generates 10% of electricity in Ukraine. We came here to see the beautiful scenery. Both banks of the Pivdennyi Bug river near Yuzhnoukrainsk are part of the National Park "Buzky Gard". First of all we were interested in the opposite river bank, which can be reached by a curious mechanical (non-electric) ferry.

see this map ). There is a passage through the vineyard to the observation deck on the Pivdennyi Bug. At this point, you can see the most well-preserved part of ancient road of Asgard. Yes, you read it right, we're not kidding. Studies have been conducted and found out that a city of Asgard from Norse mythology used to be here. This area was described by Icelander Snorri Sturluson between 1220 and 1230 in Ynglinga Saga, the most important source for the early history of Scandinavia. From here to the north came Odin (Thor's father). In Yuzhnoukrainsk there are historians who dedicated quite a lot of time to this research, and we have heard such facts from one of them.

map shows the places visited by us. Be careful on the trail along the opposite river bank. There is a small power plant there, access to the territory of which is closed. Therefore, you need to talk to the guards and ask for entrance. Otherwise you need to climb up to go around the power plant.Kyiv , Odessa , Vinnytsia , and Mykolaiv .Tags, Ukraine: observation deck , river , rocks , unusual buildings observation deck , river , rocks , unusual buildings
