2. BARANOWKA Baranowka
Podolia, the rolling country of western Ukraine between the Dniester and the Southern Bug, is a land of black soil, limestone canyons and old towns. It was a frontier between Poland, Lithuania, the Ottomans and Russia for centuries, and many of its villages carry the layers of that history, with Catholic and Orthodox churches, ruined castles and Jewish cemeteries. The label here, Baranowka, with its Polish-style spelling, gives a clue to the mix, and the ride pairing with Satanivska Dacha, a forested nature area in the region, hints at the walk and the ride on offer.

3. Satanіvska Dacha
Ukraine's Podillia is a gently rolling country of black soil, but along its southwestern edge a line of strange ridges rises out of the fields, and Satanivska Dacha lies among them. The ridges are the Tovtry, a belt of low hills made from fossil reefs, remains of a barrier reef that grew in the warm shallow sea that covered the region some twenty million years ago, in the Miocene. The rock is limestone studded with shells and corals, and the ridge runs for hundreds of kilometres, a landscape unlike anything else in eastern Europe. The area is protected as part of the Podilski Tovtry National Nature Park.
