Basalt columns
Berestovets village, Rovensk region
The geological reserve “Basalt columns” in the center of the Rivne region is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the country and undoubtedly one of the most unique places in Ukraine. Many tourists consider it a place of power. Once the mining of basalt was conducted here, and now you can see the dense rows of columns-polyhedra, striking with monumentality and geometric perfection.

Apple tree bush
Krolevets city, Sumska region
This is the only apple tree in the world, growing in the form of a bush. It is one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of Ukraine." A feature of the apple tree (nowhere else known) is its ability to independently root the branches. The branches bow to the ground and take root when one of the trunks dies, so the apple tree prolongs its life. Now there is no initial maternal trunk in this apple tree, it has about 15 stem-branches attached to the earth and occupies an area of about 10 hundred square meters. The estimated age of the apple bush is over 200 years.
