The castle-cossack route. From the battlefield - to the ball

Where to go: Dubno-Plyasheva

You should take with you:

  • - recordings of medieval music (or musicians themselves);
  • - the mood to get to the ball;
  • - readiness to fire a cannon;
  • - historical novel "Berestechko" by Lina Kostenko;
  • - ten hryvnias.

Impregnable fortress walls, a romantic Beatka tower, not fully explored dungeons, princely chests, full of jewelry… And ballrooms, crystal chandeliers, Venetian mirrors and no ghosts. Today Dubesky Castle remains one of the most visited tourist destinations in the region. Remembering the famous princely hunts, a hunting hall was recreated here. Nowadays, enthusiasts intend to arrange falconry, which was popular at that time.

Meanwhile, a unique tourist attraction is the reserve "Field of the Battle of Brest", which can be reached by driving through the city of Dubno. Well-known scientists and reconstructors from all over Europe visited here. The fact is that most of the places where the famous battles took place, including Grunwald, have changed beyond recognition. And the field near the village of Plyasheva, where the Cossacks and the Polish nobility met in 1651, remained almost the same as a few centuries ago.

So if it is interesting to visit the prince's castle, learn about the entertainments of nobles and their treasures, and then get into the atmosphere of the Cossack era, visit the church where Bohdan Khmelnytsky prayed, walk around the field where the largest battle in Europe took place, then the route that connects ancient Dubno and the famous village of Plyasheva, just for you.
