Every year in Spring Ukrainian city Uzhgorod becomes a fabulous place. Do you know why? Because in the middle of the April (until May) it’s time for a blooming cherry blossoms. For two weeks this small city the in Zakarpattia region becomes the most popular place in Ukraine.
Many streets are pink. It’s real miracle. Distance from Kyiv (where I live) to Uzhgorod is 800 km. I take a train and come there. Just for one day. Awesome trip!
In Ukraine we have many cherry trees. They aren’t sakura (decorative Japanese cherry). Ukrainian cherry blossom is white. Our trees can live in cold Ukrainian climate (especially in Winter). There is amazing cherry blossom mix in Uzhgorod.
Uzhgorod is very close to Hungary. Carpathian mountains are around this city. This is why Uzhgorod has a particularly mild climate throughout the year.
A little bit of history. Decorative Japanese cherry was brought to Uzhhorod from Vienna (capital of Austria) in 1923. It was a present for Ukrainian people.
Decorative Japanese cherry is everywhere in Uzhgorod. But many trees are in the center of the city.
This is Uzhgorod’s castle. Amazing place! Real history in cherry blossoms.
If you will be in Uzhgorod, come there. A castle was built between the 13th and 18th centuries. I like this place very much.
