Valley of Narcissuses, Hutskiy Castle

If you got tired from the cold colors of the winter and Your soul asks sunny emotions - present yourself a ball in the reign of flowers. It is opened by solemn polonaise of orchids. Farther is a turn of waltz with romantic irises and unrestrained round dance of merriment escorted by the thin ringing of campanellis, buzz of bees, rustle of grass and endless canon of birds and wind . .and then curtain.

And you will get in clinking silence of boundless valley of sunny narcissuses in framing of dark blue haze of mountains (Zakarpattia region).

A valley of narcissuses is 257 ha of unique territory, on which grow hundreds types of plants, added to Red Book. Similar reserves are in Alps (but there they are smaller). It is the only place in the world, where a mountain flower grows so low (a narcissus here dwells on height of 200 meters, instead of usual for him 2000).

But also here is explanation of this - here you will know the legend about Greek god Narcissus, who was wondrous beautiful, but insensible, - all around he broke up hearts by his indifference. Gods, in punishment for this, sent to him reckless love to himself. And when Narcissus had seen his reflection in the river – he was not able to step back from the river and died of melancholy. And since then on local meadows appeared a beautiful flower with a befuddle aroma from which a man can fell asleep forever.
But nothing passes without a trace, a narcissus drew the moral and now this place is fanned by the spirit of romanticism, warmness and sincerity, what you can make sure in. It is said that there is not such a single woman who has refused on suggestion of hand and heart, done in a fairy-tale valley yet.

While being here – you should necessarily visit the Hustskiy castle which due to the impregability was named "aery". When you overcome 160 meters - you will feel, that the whole world lies at your feet.

You should visit this surprizing place where the weather is always good - in fact a boundless valley is hugged by a sunny carpet which warms the soul by its graceful beauty. Reserve is included in the international network of biospheric reserves of UNESCO.
