Optional visit to the Earth History Park - an interactive park-museum. A place where you can feel like a real scientist and archaeologist. Guests of the Earth History Park will be able to visit the location of archaeological excavations, where they can dig up historical artifacts, study the history of mankind, have fun and spend time with benefit. In addition, the park is home to lions and tigers, as well as ostriches, playgrounds and lots of entertainment (entrance sq.)
The Orthodox monastery of Skyt Maniavskyi, called the second Athos in history, is a stronghold of Orthodoxy. It is located 40 km from Ivano-Frankivsk.
There is a church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on the territory, and there are miraculous icons.
This ancient shrine is located between the mountain cliffs of the Carpathians by the healing spring, the Manyavka River, in a unique microclimate.
The history of the Manyavsky Skete hides many secrets that have not yet been solved. The biggest mystery remains the healing properties of the water that collects inside the cave formed in the Blessed Stone.
According to scholars, Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky was buried in the Maniavsky skete, as he personally requested it during his lifetime, and even the murderer Makovsky agreed to "send the body to the estate in Ruda" and bury it as "a Rusyn in a Rusyn way."
In the 1930s, there were attempts to find the hetman's grave, but no remains were found. The original exhibit in the skete is the tombstone under which the first two abbots were buried: Job and Theodosius. In addition, the museum houses 6 ancient icons and 5 copies of the Bohorodchany iconostasis, banners, vestments, several crosses, samples of relief carvings, and metal products for religious purposes.
Maniavsky waterfall (special transport along the riverbed) - 18 meters of incredible beauty! The waterfall itself is located in a picturesque grotto, which is simply created for romantic and, perhaps, a little mystical photo shoots.
