Sofievsky park of rest

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

By popular demand, I will here gradually restore the reports on summer travel, destroyed by the armless administrator with diary, for which he once again sends powerful mental rays of liquid diarrhea and loss of sexual orientation.

At 8 АМ o'clock, Uman met us with a torrential rain, which, nevertheless, turned out to be very handy, while we got from the train to the square, the rain sobered and woke us, because we slept on the train for four hours.
The only real sight in this city is the Sophia arboretum, founded in 1726 by Count Stanislav Potocki on the territory of his estate.
I was told that you need at least 2-3 days to visit Sofiyivka, but my brother and I go fast, and therefore the whole park has passed for 4 hours along and across. The weather was happy - fresh air after the rain and not very hot.
For a long time I have not seen such beautiful places. The park is rich in water, fountains and springs with drinking water.
The fountain "Snake" works completely on natural energy without any motors and pumps: a channel from the Upper Lake is drawn under it and by a gradually tapering pipe diameter from 1800 to 40 mm in the metric system, a constant water pressure is squeezed out upwards by 15 meters .

And my brother, who imagines himself to be Charon, carrying souls from the Kingdom of Living to the Kingdom of the Dead on a boat.
