Walking Tour Along the Landscape Alley
Recently the Landscape Alley has become one of the favorite places of kievans and guests of the city. Usually excursion in the center of ancient Kiev becomes a great delight for kids, who look at the fabulous residents of the Alley with interest. It is also cool that people can not only look at the beautiful sculptures by Konstantin Skretutsky. Everyone can touch the original mosaic characters, take pictures and even climb inside a variety of rabbits, birds and cats!
The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation organized informative walking tour for kids from multi-child Misyura famiy, as a part of the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event.
The excursion began with pleasant news. Liza Misyura was a birthday girl! The representatives of the Konstantine Kondakov Charity Foundation did not miss the opportunity to congratulate the birthday girl and give her and the rest of the children pleasant gifts.
After that the guide showed our large family the ancient sites of Kiev. On the viewing platform near the National Museum of History kids were able to admire the picturesque city views from the heist place of the Landscape alley. Than a tour guide led the children to the ancient stone with a phrase on it saying “The history of the Rus land started here” and showed the oldest tree in Ukraine – an Ancient lime tree. The Ancient lime tree grows near the foundation of the Desyatynna Church and is considered to be magical – it makes wishes come true. So all the children closed their eyes and made their small, but important wishes.
The excursion continued in a fabulous park on the Landscape alley. Children from multy-children family Misyura were looking forward to see the fantastic characters of the park. There all the children took photos near the mosaic sculptures, made wishes and just were having fun. Everyone, without exception, did not miss the opportunity to move down from slides on the original playground and sit on the bench, carefully sheltered with “warm” mosaic rug.
All the participants of the excursion spent a great time outdoors, learned a lot of new and interesting information about Kiev and had fun from the soul. We are confident, that the children will remember this day for a long time, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world.
