On Tarasova Gora

After visiting Kaniv we went to its' southern edge, where Kaniv Natural Preserve is located. It lies on the wooded hills on the right bank of river Dnipro. The highest hill is called Tarasova Gora (Taras' Hill), because the famous Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko was buried there. Now on the top of this hill his memorial complex (Museum, Monument and Park with few memorials) is located.
We came from the river side. From foot of hill to upper territory leads interesting stairs. We coped with them and then got fantastic view on the top of hill.
While walking there I made many photos about Tarasova Gora, alley of characters from Shevchenko poems and just about golden autumn. Here are some of them.
