Mezynsky National Nature Park

Mezynsky National Nature Park is a nature reserve in northern Ukraine with forests, meadows, and the Desna River with its floodplain areas. The park encompasses various habitats and provides space for many plant and animal species.

The area was designated a park in 2006 and contains one of the region's most important archaeological sites. The Mezyn settlement shows evidence of human occupation from the distant past.

The archaeological museum displays artifacts from early human settlements with mammoth bones and reconstructed dwellings. This collection tells the story of people who lived in this area thousands of years ago.

The best time to visit is from May to October, when the weather is mild and the paths are passable. Walking routes run through the area, and a local guide can make exploration more manageable.

The park contains Pidkova Lake, known to locals as the Lake of Happiness and associated with a special swimming tradition. This connection to local customs adds an extra layer to the visit.
