This picturesque spot is called a fairy tale corner of Ukraine-everything about it is sheer poetry, it is so exquisite and beautiful.

Wherever you look, you see something, distinctive or inimitable. There are the Elysian Fields, the English Park whose collection of plants comes from many countries of the world, and the Caucasian Hill which seems to carry you to sunny Georgia. One finds luxurious pavilions and pergolas, beautiful grottos and waterfalls, an underground waterway… At every turn you are spellbound by the symphony of a stretch of water, by the singing of green strings among the trees and bushes. The views in Sofievka are always new, varying with the weather or time of day-morning, noon or evening. Sofievka is beautiful in any season of the year. In springtime it is arrayed in pink and white blossoms and resounds with singing nightingales; on a hot summer day, the breezes waft fragrance of parched grasses over the oak groves while the pleasant coolness of shady alleys beckons you; in golden autumn when the red and yellow leaves are falling, the park is carpeted with silver by the morning frost. Sofievka is lovely in the winter silence, too, when the great frozen waterfall looks like a giant iceberg and the steep grey cliffs wear cap of snow.
All who have visited the park are enraptured by its beauty, uniqueness and lyrical perfection of its landscaped compositions.
