Map of bike lanes in Dnipro: creation (updated)
If you want to build your route around the city of Dnipro on a bicycle, taking into account bike paths, the first thing that comes to mind is to google “map of bike lanes dnipro”. Unfortunately, the search will not give you the desired result: either there are no bike paths in the Dnipro, or such a map simply does not exist. Let’s check what is happening with bicycle paths in Dnipro in 2020.
Samara forest in winter
This year, for Christmas, the Samara forest looked very autumnal: instead of snow, it rained and fallen leaves layed underfoot. Green sprouts could still be seen around.
Airborne Forces Day in Hvardiiske
The end of our stay in the Samara forest coincided with Paratroopers Day, which is celebrated on August 2. On this day, in the nearby village of Hvardiiske, a celebratory demonstration was held, in which fighters of the 25th separate Dnipropetrovsk airborne brigade took part.
Samara Forest: Cherkaske
The forest formed in the Samara region is a unique ecosystem. In addition to the fact that it is home to rare representatives of the animal world of Ukraine, the Samara forest can also surprise you with its diversity of vegetation – oaks and maples are replaced by pine masses in an instant.
Spending a few days in this forest on the banks of Samara is a great pleasure, inhaling its smell, you feel that you have entered a real forest, which no artificial green space can compare with. A real corner of paradise in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Cycling Dnipropetrovsk - Stari Kodaky
The KAVA club organizes bike rides in Dnipropetrovsk for everyone, weekly. On Sunday, July 17, the destination was a quarry in the village of Stari Kodaky. Thanks to this ride, I saw the Dnipropetrovsk airport for the first time, as well as the quarry itself, and also practiced taking photos from a bicycle on the move.
