Day 3 - Vibrant Ventures

Day three of our Horlivka Hurtle tour is all about venturing away from the city's heartbeat and into its vibrant circumference.

The farmland offers a taste of country life and helps understand the agricultural backbone of Ukraine. Lunch will be at a local farmhouse that serves authentic homemade Ukrainian meals - doesn't that sound heavenly? The Post-Lunch plan is for the Prodporudnaya salt mine, known for its healing effects. Submerge in therapeutic salt pools or stroll around the underground galleries. As the day and our tour conclude, we'll drive back into the city to revel in its nightlife. Bid adieu over a glass of local ale or simply stroll under the starlit skies recounting those memorable Horlivka moments.
