Zmiiv

"Kharkiv Switzerland" is a picturesque area in the valley of the Siverskyi Donets river south of Zmiiv.

The hills above the river offer wonderful views that have long inspired artists. Thus, the artist Petro Levchenko depicted this area in the painting "In the Kharkiv Region".

It is most convenient to climb the hills in the area of the bridge over the Siverskyi Donets at the entrance to Zadonetske.
