- A visit to the rehabilitation centre for bears . The sanctuary is designed for thirty bears. Each has been given its own den, indistinguishable from a natural one.

- A stroll through the cosy European streets of ancient Uzhhorod, along the embankment of the river Uzh, where the children can feed the swans, ducks and gulls.
- Uzhhorod castle , standing proudly above the historic centre of the town. Like every castle, it has its mysterious legends. One tells of a countess of unearthly beauty who died for love and has known no peace since. At night the ghost of the girl - the "White Maiden" - wanders the corridors of the thousand-year-old castle... Do you not believe it? A walk along the embankment of the river Uzh - the longest lime-tree alley in Europe.
- Getting to know the mini-sculptures scattered all over the town, which are Uzhhorod's calling card.
- Lunch.
- An exciting quest around the mini-sculptures, with an "Uzhhorod" cake as the prize. This quest is a friendly game. There is adrenaline and the thrill of competition, but nobody loses! Every player, whatever the result, will come away full of good feeling and will discover an enchanting Uzhhorod full of secrets, riddles and surprising finds.
- Summing up. The "Uzhhorod" cake - the reward for taking part!
