This place has become a real unique find for us, where we relax from the busy life in the city on the Black Sea. For several years in a row, we go to the village Lebedivka, Odessa region to live by the sea for several weeks. There is an amazing forest directly above the sea, which stretches for several kilometers. And people here live in tents, forgetting about civilization. They set up their camps, where they cook on the fire, sit in the evenings and sing songs, and I always like to walk along the forest, watching how many people, like a whole community, coexist here, respecting nature and leaving behind cleanliness and order!
A special man-made miracle, which is harmoniously combined with wildlife, is the stairs in the clay rock, which were created by fishermen to go down to the sea. These stairs have become a calling card of the camping forest of the village of Lebedivka. When I first saw these stairs, I was amazed! Imagine a narrow deep passage in a clay rock, where only one person is comfortably accommodated at a time, and two provided they touch each other tightly. And the people who rest here go down to the sea every day and go back up into the forest.
Going down these stairs, I came across such an original clay ledge, like a balcony, from which the stairs diverge on both sides and go to the beach. There are no handrails and people are holding on to the stairs with their hands, and men are helping down the afraid women and children. But later, after training, we ran fast up and down :)
And noticed that our legs became strong for several weeks of rest.
On the beach, too, there is a lot of interesting handmade, where people fully realize their creativity, using sand and shells :) This is how sand castles and shell applications on clay rock appear. And sometimes we meet amazing masterpieces like this mermaid, for example :)
And once we were walking on the beach and saw an extreme descent down the ladder. There are tourists who do not want to walk far in the woods to the normal descent and have arranged their own)
We tried to get up - but halfway back. It was scary!
Once we arranged a photo shoot on the edge of the cliff, just above the narrow passage of these stairs to the sea. It was extreme and exciting to stand there and look down.
These photos were taken on a wild beach in Lebedevka in 2018-2019
