- Stari Bezradychi - Enjoy a hike through the stunning Kyiv countryside featuring lakes, forests, hills, and canyons. The trail spans approximately 12-15 km. We’ll meet at a designated point and travel by bus to the picturesque and verdant village of Bezradyshi. Here, you’ll find the residences of former president Yushchenko and other notable figures. We’ll take a brief tour of the village, visiting the church, local shop, and experiencing the daily life of the residents. The hike will take us through the Kyiv hills, often referred to as the “Small Carpathian Mountains,” and to a canyon known for its pristine, untouched beauty. We’ll have a picnic on the hills, offering panoramic views, and visit a lake located at summer residences where you can swim in clean water if you wish. We’ll return to Kyiv by bus. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and bring a swimsuit, raincoat (depending on the weather), some food for the picnic, and water. If you book a tour for four or more people, we can arrange a private hike for your group. The hiking route may vary as we have several unique paths to explore.

Great time! - We had so much fun and were able to hike through areas we would not have known where to go without the local guide. Great trip! Highly recommend.

hiking near Kyiv - I've already been to 3 hiking events organized by Amazing Ukraine (2 events in 2019 & 1 event in 2020). I loved all of them thanks to the friendly participants & warm atmosphere. I saw lots of beautiful landscapes & visited the places that I had never visited before (although I was born and bred in Kyiv). The thing is ... you aren't likely to find a beautiful lake somewhere in the forest or an old church outside the city if you travel on your own. But the guide showed us these amazing places located in the middle of nowhere. I absolutely loved the slow pace, i.e. I could enjoy nature & communication with new people while walking. We were not in a hurry, it was rather relaxing. We even had a picnic! You don't need to be well-prepared physically for this hiking as all the hiking trails around Kyiv are rather flat. And I loved the mixture of locals and foreigners. I got acquainted with amazing people from China, the USA, Germany. These hiking tours are definitely for those, who prefer nature & communication to long excursions & museums. And it's a great opportunity for travellers to get acquainted with Ukrainian people.

My First hiking tour in KYIV - Myself yogesh and my native is India. This is my first hiking experience in Ukraine, The hiking group is of 8 people including tour guide Iryna and Sergi. I don't speak Ukrainian nor Russian so Iryna and Sergi were able explain the places in English. On this hiking tour I walked 6-7 hours through forest, clean lake to swim, monastery, park etc We met around 10:20 am and finished 6:00 pm. Overall I enjoyed the moment and would visit back another time.
PS Iryna and sergi was very friendly and fun to be with :)

Hiking near Kiew - great experience! - We spent a wonderful day hiking near Kiew, walking through silent forests and flowerful fields. Our guide sasha showed us amazing views on the banks of river dnepr and towards Kiev. Visiting a monastery (and its outstanding natural caves) was a highlight, - second highlight was a wonderful (bring yourself) picknick. Transportation with public busses was well organized, all tickets were included.
Special thanks to Iryna for organizing everything and for joining us on the tour!
Next time we come to Ukraine we‘ll do a tour again! :-)

Authentic Experience - I met Sacha at the appointed spot but as there was just me he got his wife Tanya to come as she spoke a little English. While I missed out on the historical context They are a lovely couple and it was an interesting walk which included a local bus ride, a lake and forest and a visit to a monastery with catacombs. Later it started raining and we headed into Kiev for a wine.
