The Black Sea steppe is known for Scythian mounds, which have survived to this day, as a monument to the nomads who inhabited the Ukrainian lands in the 7-3 centuries. BC The largest of the mounds is Oguz, which looks like a hill, which is actually the tomb of a descendant of the Scythian king Atheus. The place is considered rich, as the excavations were crowned with numerous valuable finds that complement the collections of the Hermitage and the National Museum of Jewels. An interesting fact is that the values ​​of the mound provoked a real gold rush among the population in 1901.

The impressive size of the area occupied by the reserve, which is 33 thousand hectares, is inhabited by 500 species of plants and about three thousand different animals.

Another unique place of Kherson region is Arabatska Strelka - a narrow sandy spit with a length of 113 km. It separates the Sea of ​​Azov and Lake Sivash, which is known for its atypical pink color of the water. The landscape there is not just beautiful, but incredible.

Lake Sivash is a shallow bay of the Sea of ​​Azov, divided by many peninsulas, capes, islands, which form a kind of labyrinth with incredible shapes. The lake is too salty and therefore salt has penetrated into the soil, forming in the nasal areas salt marshes and salt marshes. The uniqueness of Lake Sivash is added by mineral mud, salt, endemic vegetation and rare animals. All this in the complex makes it just a necessary object for a tour.
