The village of Klesiv on the Klesovka River is located 25 kilometers east of Sarny, next to the Kyiv - Kovel highway.
The village of Klesiv has been known since 1654. The Dormition Church of the 18th century has been preserved. The development of the village is connected with the construction of the Kyiv-Sarny-Kovel railway and the opening of the "Klesiv" station at the beginning of the 20th century. Here are the largest deposits of amber in Ukraine.
The Klesiv Arboretum has been created on the territory of Klesiv Forestry. On the opposite outskirts of the village, there is a man-made pond "Koplishche" (flooded quarry), on the banks of which there is a recreation area.
Селище Клесів на річці Клесовці розташоване в 25 кілометрах на схід від Сарн, поруч з трасою Київ - Ковель.
Село Клесів відоме з 1654 року. Збереглася Успенська церква XVIII сторіччя. Розвиток селища пов'язаний з будівництвом на початку XX століття залізниці Київ-Сарни-Ковель та відкриттям станції "Клесів". Тут знаходяться найбільші в Україні родовища бурштину.
На території Клесівського лісництва створено Клесівський дендропарк. На протилежній околиці села - рукотворна водойма "Копліще" (затоплений кар'єр), на берегах якого облаштована зона відпочинку.
Klesiv Arboretum
Park / garden
The Klesiv Arboretum was created on the territory of the Klesiv Forestry by a self-taught landscape designer, former forester Oleksiy Voron.
With his own hands, he created a lot of green sculptures from trees and shrubs, which he brought from various forests of Ukraine. The alleys of the Klesiv Arboretum are decorated with balls, pyramids, cylinders and glasses. There are about 30 sculptures, many arches and other architectural forms. There are also complex sculptural compositions: "Virgin Mary's Candle", "Olympic Cup", "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's Chalice".
At the entrance to the Klesiv Arboretum, visitors are greeted by a huge coat of arms of Ukraine made of spherical thuja trees.
