National Nature Park Homilsha Woods

The protected area spans 143 square kilometers of forests, meadows, and wetlands along the Donets River valley in northeastern Ukraine.

The territory gained its first protection status under Peter the Great, who designated it as a protected ship grove for naval construction wood.

The park contains numerous archaeological sites from multiple periods, including remains from the Bronze Age through the Kyivan Rus period.

Visitors can access the park through five hiking routes that connect to historical monuments, with swimming permitted in designated river areas.

The park's ecosystem supports 50 fish species, 153 bird species, 53 mammal species, and over 800 plant species within its varied terrain.
