The city of Haivoron on the banks of the Pivdenny Buh is located 70 kilometers northwest of Uman, 40 kilometers from the M-05 (E-95) highway "Kyiv - Odesa".

It originated in the 18th century as a Cossack winter coat. The name, most likely, comes from the name of the bird haivoron (rook).

The development of the village is connected with the construction in 1897 of the Haivoron narrow-gauge railway with a length of 130 kilometers along the Rudnytsya - Haivoron - Holovanivsk route (a monument was installed - the Belgian steam locomotive MT-202 of 1895, which is considered the oldest locomotive in Ukraine). Since 1949, Haivoron has had the status of a city.

A water mill (XIX century) and a railway station building (1897) have been preserved. The main part of the Haivoron narrow-gauge railway is still in operation today, sometimes a train is run on it for tourist groups.

Місто Гайворон на березі Південного Бугу розташоване в 70 кілометрах на північний захід від Умані, в 40 кілометрах від траси М-05 (Е-95) "Київ – Одеса".

Виникло в XVIII сторіччі як козацький зимівник. Назва, швидше за все, походить від птаха гайворона (грака).

Вперше село Гайворон згадується в 1752 році. Через рік тут була збудована дерев'яна церква Святого Іоанна Предтечі, а в 1889 році споруджений кам'яний храм, який був знищений за радянської влади (відновлений в наш час).

Розвиток села пов'язаний з будівництвом в 1897 році Гайворонської вузькоколійної залізниці протяжністю 130 кілометрів за маршрутом Рудниця – Гайворон – Голованівськ (встановлено пам' ...

З 1949 року Гайворон має статус міста.

Зберігся водяний млин (XIX століття) та будівля залізничного вокзалу (1897 рік). Основна частина Гайворонської вузькоколійки донині діє, іноді для туристичних груп нею пускають потяг з паротягом.

Haivoron narrow-gauge railway

Entertainment / leisure

The Haivoron narrow-gauge railway is one of the few operating narrow-gauge railways in Ukraine. It was built in 1897 as part of a large network of narrow-gauge railways, created in the south of Ukraine by the Southern Association of Access Roads.

The 130-kilometer long route starts in the village of Rudnytsia, passes through Bershad, Haivoron and ends in the village of Holovanivsk. The Haivoron narrow-gauge railway is the longest in Europe.

The infrastructure of the railway included a station, a locomotive depot, a locomotive repair plant, and repair workshops. Since then, Haivoron has been the capital of Ukrainian narrow-gauge railways.

The station is located next to the regular railway station, on the other side of the tracks. Regular passenger traffic is carried out along the entire route (TU-2 locomotives). At the request of tourist groups, the old steam locomotive Gr-280 can enter the route.

In order to popularize and preserve the Haivoron narrow-gauge railway, the "GoodoK_Fest" festival was introduced in 2021, which is planned to be held annually.
