I have visited Ukraine many times and also lived not that far away from the Monastery of the Caves. The Monastery itself is for sure one of the most beautiful in Ukraine. In addition, you will find opportunities to swim in the river, getting a tan if you like, and also renting small boats. Places to stay the night are available. And for sure you need to visit the Monastery. If you buy a ticket to walk through the tunnel and up to the top of the Mountain, be sure to have proper footwear, sneakers are great. Also inside this compound, you will find an area with lots of different birds on display. On top of the mountain, close by, is the enormous Monument to Artem, a statue of a man in white marble. It is possible to get up there if you like. If you are in Kramatorsk, you can easily reach this area. I would recommend taking a taxi from the railway station. Rent the car and the driver for some hours, for sure less than a hundred euros. It is well worth it!

This monument was unveiled in 1966 at the entrance of Shevchenko Park. The statue stands on a granite pedestal. The inscription is from Shevchenko's poem "The Testament". The beginning of the poem reads: When I shall die, pray let my bones High on a mound remain Amid the steppeland's vast expanse In my belov'd Ukraine; That I may gaze on mighty fields, On Dnieper and his shore, And echoed by his craggy banks May hear the great One roar!
