it is one of the most surprising and original places in Ukraine. The German baron von Val @ had the crazy idea in the th century of forming a unique nature-safari reserve in Europe on the steppes of Ukraine, bringing the most original animals. On 2 300 ha, the reserve includes a zoo, a biological garden, and, in exclusive terms, preserved virgin steppe, only place in Europe where the steppe retains its original appearance. We discover more than sixty species of birds, from Australia's black swan in the ostrich, but also from llamas, zebras and emus. To note, this is the only place in Europe where you can see American buffalo. Moreover, there is also the famous horse of Prjevalski, discovered in 1879 in Mongolia by a Russian explorer that gave him his name.
