30.08.2009 - Krasnokutsk dendro

You need to travel 110 km from Kharkiv to get to Krasnokutsk dendro. The people (link: russian site), with which I travel, travels on scooters with an average speed of 50-60 km/h. Given our speed and distance we have planned a stopover for rest near city Staruy Merchik.
 

 
Bad people abandoned kittens in the middle of the road. :( We wanted to take these kittens with us, but could not do that. Kittens will not be comfortable in the bag on a motorcycle. :(
 
Having covered the rest of the way we arrived at dendro.



 
Going into the arboretum, we saw a remarkable kind of nature.
 




 
In the struggle for tourists park authorities placed several wooden sculptures.

As with any popular tourist spot here you can watch the painting created by vandals
 
 
After bypassing the park, we went to nearest river to dine. After this I went home.
 
By the way the road to and from the park was great (except for some places), and I calmly drove 100-110 km/h on it.
 
P.S. According to the reports of intelligence, kittens were given to good people, this taken care of the club members koleso2x4 (link: russian site).
