Excursion programme
A tour of the castles of Zakarpattia offers a chance to touch the unique historical heritage of Zakarpattia, which will surprise you with its vivid diversity. You will discover the mysterious principality of Transylvania, which once included the surrounding lands.
You are to visit some of the most beautiful castles in our country, where the history of Europe was made and whose walls will tell true stories of love, valour, nobility and self-sacrifice. You will not only hear ancient legends and touch the beautiful, but also meet remarkable people who, not in word but in deed, recreate the history, beauty and cultural heritage of the Silver Land.
Tour of the castles of Zakarpattia, the programme:
- Departure from Uzhhorod.
- Transfer past the village of Serednie; the guide will tell the history of the eastern outpost of the Knights Templar, one of the most mysterious castles not only of Zakarpattia but of all Ukraine - Serednie Castle .
- A tour of the historic centre of the city of Mukachevo (the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St Martin, 4th c., the Greek Catholic cathedral, 9th c., the Town Hall and other cultural and architectural landmarks).
- A tour of Mukachevo’s Palanok Castle(9th-8th c.), which is rightly considered one of the seven architectural wonders of Ukraine.
- Lunch.
- A visit to the castle of love - “Saint Miklós” (15th c.), located in the village of Chynadiiovo.
- A tour of the romantic hunting castle of the Counts Schönborn (19th c.). The hunting castle is built in the neo-Romantic style, combining Romanesque and Gothic motifs. An incredibly beautiful architectural structure! A walk along the avenues of the old counts’ arboretum park to the spring of youth. A lake with ducks and swans, an enclosure with wild animals. A special aura of tranquillity reigns here…
- Transfer to Uzhhorod.
The price of an individual tour is calculated depending on the number of people.
All who are curious, care about history and know how to appreciate the beautiful, we invite to take the tour of the castles of Zakarpattia. On the territory of the Zakarpattia region there are 12 castles or their remains - and we will show you the best of them.
The tour of the castles of Zakarpattia takes place every Sunday. Departure from Uzhhorod and Mukachevo.
