"City in the forest"
Description and Google map of cycling way around Lviv. This tour we recommended for everybody who like cycling and observing native nature. We tell about favorite citizens' parks and forests which are located in the city and around.
You can begin your bicycle trip on the central square and in some minutes get in the first park on the way. “High castle park” - there are several panoramic viewpoints of the city. After this park we go to the top of the hills in the city, where we rarely come across car routes.
The next park is the one the citizens call Kaiserwald. It’s a historical park which includes museum of wooden Ukrainian Carpathian architecture.
After this park we'll be cycling for a little while on the street with car traffic.In the end of Lychakivska street Vynnykivs’kiy forest appears. What is remarkable about this forest is that it was the Primeval beech forest. A lot of really old trees and some wild places. Good place for birdwatchers and everybody who loves nature. A lot of different routes for cycling. On the top of the hill in this forest the rocks with nickname “Devil rocks” are located. Good place for rocks climbing.
Way trough the forest is sometimes a way up, but may also be the way downhill. In the valley near the route to Vynnyki you can see a small lake. It’s a favorite citizens' place for swimming in summertime. Way at the ravine in the forest along the stream which fills the lake leads us to down part of motocross track. Above the track there is one more nature monument - “Honey cave”.
After
a short drive along the streets we get to last park on our way back.
Park Pohulyanka is something like primeval forest-park. Old trees,
small lakes, special routes with cycling springboard near the city
center. On the way to center you can see famous Lychakiv cemetery.
