The names of these picturesque places speak of beauty, love and peace. Our journey into the depths of centuries on a comfortable bus along the ancient “Murafa (Moravian) Way. There are countless legends about merchants, robbers, happy love and separation.

And how many hordes, “Yasir” and Haidamaks trampled this road?

Our first stop is in old Merchik, on the ancient estate of the Shidlovsky family, near the Church of All Saints. There is a stop at the ancient sacrificial stone, where the “Polovtsian woman” will show us the way from ancient times to the romantic “stone of love” on the modern estate in Sharovka.

We will walk along the shady alleys of intricately shaped old linden and chestnut trees, see “sugar houses”, guard houses, gardeners and foresters, brooding ponds, and take photographs on the famous cascade with the castle in the background.

Those who want to see mahogany furniture, unique stove tiles, unique parquet flooring and the former luxury of the Sharovsky Castle will go on a tour inside. Next is our journey to the estate of the very influential Kharitonenko family, to the “sanatorium” Natalino. Here in the ancient park we will see buildings designed by the famous architect Shchusev and visit the real architectural pearl of Slobozhanshchina, the Transfiguration Church.

The Mayak TA program includes a visit to an unforgettable, very unusual place: “Singing” terraces: nature, engineering solutions and the work of gardeners have turned a deep ravine into a mysterious sphere, in the center of which sounds and heat are reflected. There is an unusual microclimate and the echo of mysterious sounds.

The estate was named after his granddaughter - Natalevka. The park and the estate have undergone significant changes, but the preserved Church of the Most Merciful Savior will blow your mind. And this is the merit of those who created it with intelligence and love a century ago. In a secluded picturesque corner between Krasnokutsk and the village of Gorodneye you can find an amazing place - the Singing Terraces. And in order to maintain the intrigue... we will reveal all the secrets of the Terraces on the spot! Krasnokutsk Arboretum is a natural monument created by human hands. Autumn is the time when foliage on trees and shrubs and grass bloom especially beautifully. Nature, already bizarre and surprising with its diversity, becomes even more beautiful! Every bush, every tree in the park has its own story - interesting and educational. All this splendor is worth seeing once and you will want to come back here again and again!
