Beautiful park in Chernihiv. Parking was easy and access to the sites was easy too. The park has many buildings to check out and some of the views are great.

New this historical place for more than 40 years and always though - nothing interesting. By case this summer I participated the walking tour "Mystic ancient Chernigiv" ~ 17 Euro for 3 hours. Rediscovered a lot of new information - even that there is the "Lucky stone " in the rear wall (from the park side). You can ask your dream and it will true. Strongly advice to take this tour. Just google it and you find it. This is operating church - also inside very friendly abbot and very knowledgeable. He share his knowledge easily.

At the edge of Boldyn Hills park, alongside the burial places (“kurgans”) of Slavonic warriors, there is a grave of Unknown soldiers, warriors who gave their lives in the Great Patriotic War (WWII). When battles for capturing the city of Chernihiv by fascist invaders were being fought, a woman of Chernihiv buried four lost soldiers in her family garden. In 1967, the graves were opened, and the names of three soldiers were discovered, they were buried in brotherly grave. The name of the fourth warrior remained unknown. He was buried here on the Boldyn Hills, at Chernihiv’s highest place. To commemorate all the warriors who were killed on the fronts of Great Patriotic War, the Eternal fire was lit in 1967. The Eternal fire is burning on the Grave of the Unknown soldier side by side with the ancient burial mounds on the top of the Boldin Hill as the homage of those who died in the battle for independence of our Motherland. The ancient part of Chernigiv and Holly grove are well seen from this place. The old legend says that Chernihivites were baptized in that grove in 992.
