The picturesque stone "Grotto nymph", built in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Poltava, is a landmark of the Trostyanets dendrological park.
About the place
Ruins near the lake lost in the woods are truly an impressive place. The grotto was built in 1809. Since then, it has become overgrown not only with moss, but also with countless legends. The local people also tell about the 20-kilometer underground tunnels from here to Akhtyrka, and about the letters that the lovers were leaving here for each other, and about the theatrical performances and concerts that took place in the grotto, as well as about the "adult" games of the rich men with serf "nymphs" . Everyone decides for himself what he should believe in. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing the grotto.
