And indeed, if you climb the nearest mountain, Ozerna (1,296 m), from its height Synevyr looks like an enormous blue eye with an island for a pupil in the middle, framed by the thick lashes of spruce trees. Here you can enjoy a walk and also buy interesting souvenirs.

To keep the animals within the sanctuary they are guarded by an electronic shepherd - a fence carrying a weak current.
