This is one of the best summers I have spent so far in life. Last year I had to stay home, isolated because of lockdown situations. Previously I was so busy settling down myself so I haven't focus on anything else. So, it was part of my plan to see the Kharkiv region thoroughly and I am glad that I did. I have been into many unique locations, gathered knowledge, and explored unknown locations. Many locations are only known by native people and they are hidden gems, if you have native friends, you will be able to explore. Yesterday one of my friends was asking me how I have managed so many trips in 2 months. I smiled and said, " because I wanted to see Kharkiv ".
My next year plan is still uncertain but for sure I will travel to Europe, some unknown unexplored locations. Also, I have found canyons here in Ukraine so I will visit that too. We are now in august and this is the last month for summer travel. After that, I can't go on a trip like I did last month. I am going to attend 3 upcoming events in august so I am excited for them too...
This is the branch of the Donets river located in the village called Korovobe. I have written before that the Donets river is one of the longest rivers in Ukraine and the last part of this river is in the Kharkiv region, later it is flowing in Russia. This part of the river is narrower than the other parts and seems like a river branch. The river is surrounded by a National Nature forest... It is a very calm, quiet atmosphere here...
Many people from the city come here to spend summer vacation. There are almost 8 recreational complexes here besides some people have their own "DACHA" (Summer Houses). Kayak is very popular here, especially in this location. Because the water is calm here and not so deep. Less chance for accidents so people do kayak competitions here.
Some come for hiking, some come for BBQ or picnic party. But all come here for recreational purposes and spend 4-5 days here. The water is clean, not salty at all. People take a swim here and do fishing as well.

I have taken a lot of pictures here. I was enjoying the mesmerizing scenery of the river and calmness of the nature. The blowing breeze was soothing and fresh. The murmuring of the river was whispering into my ears, "wanna join!!"
The reflection of the blue sky on the river was amazing, it looked beautiful.
We have spent 2 hours there sitting on the riverbank.
Kids were playing with the sand and people were enjoying their swim. Some had found a nice spot under the trees for a picnic. Hot summer is perfect to take a swim in the cold water of Donets.
Here are some pictures that I have taken while sitting there. It was a great feeling to spend some time there.
Do you like rivers? Do you like spending time at the riverbank? Do you like nature? Let me know in the comment section...
Until next time... Have a nice day everyone...
