Pine Forest Dnipro

Coniferous forest in Dnepr is not as rare as it seems at first glance)

Pine Forest Dnepro:

•     Picnic Park Pridneprovsk (Lyubimovskoe forestry) - paid gazebo with barbecues and wild recreation on kebabs. A small piece of woodland almost within the city. Beautiful, but not enough space.
•     Forest on the North - rest on kebabs and walks in a small piece of woods. More suitable for recreation for locals than visitors. Not a lot of space, though it's pretty enough.
•     Frunzensky Forest Park is a mixed forest, but in some places it is almost pure pine forest with access to the beach of Lake Moscow.
•     Quarry on the bypass (Kirovskoye settlement) - rest on kebabs and walks in the real forest. Small part of the forest, but very beautiful places and good rest is possible without any conveniences.
•     Oryol region (Novomoskovsk) - rest at camping sites or campsites. It's a long way to go, but it's possible to have a good rest with or without conveniences, with the beach and walks. Very beautiful places.
•     Sandchanka with its campgrounds, like Hudson. The forest here is more mixed, but the pine forest is present. You can rest in civilized conditions.
•     You can have a rest on the shashlik, including the "savages" in tents in the Dnieper-Orel reserve in the Shulhovka village. Very beautiful places, but relatively far to go. No civilization at all.
•     Znamenovsky forest - quite a large area under pine trees. But the main advantage is the proximity of the Salty estuary and a real desert in the Dnieper) You can go here for mushrooms, shashlik and for the adventures and unusual sensations. In the "desert" found a military shell, shell casings...
•     Golubye Ozera (Elizavetovka and Kamenskoye) - shashlik recreation, including "savages" in tents, paid places with chargrills, paid and free of charge beach recreation areas. Very beautiful places for recreation.
•     Victory-5 - suitable only for a walk for 30-60 minutes. Rather suitable for local walks.
•     Coniferous forest in Kamenskoye. Behind the 10th district of the left bank in the direction of Kuleshi. There is also Golden Sands resort. Beautiful places for wild recreation, near the channel. Beautiful views around.

Not all places can be called a real forest, but you can take a walk everywhere. In this article, let's focus in detail on the first place in the list, namely the Picnic Park Pridneprovsk or Lubimovskoe forestry. Until 2020, this place was public and wild. Since 2020 it has been mowed down, barriers and gazebos put up, and civilization has appeared. No place to sit on weekends and holidays. A popular place for those who want to ride quads, like the forest in Kirovskoe.

The map below shows the exit from the road that runs from the South Bridge toward Igreni neighborhood. It is an unpaved road in the form of a "washboard". To pass it is possible in any weather and at any time of year - it is so strongly pressed. By the way, the place is beautiful at any time of year)

After the barrier on the left is a small free zone. Immediately to the right is the park with gazebos - a paid zone. And to the right goes a dirt road, which goes around the park and into the free recreation area.

In Dnepropetrovsk region there is a great place to relax on kebabs in a pine forest "savages" outside the town of Kamenskoye. The forest begins behind the 10th micro-district on the left bank and stretches toward the village Kuleshi and further to the canal Dnepr-Donbass. If you turn right before the canal, this road leads to the Dnieper-Orelsky Reserve with another gorgeous pine forest.

Ride out of town on a day off: behind the village of Znamenovka is Znamenovka coniferous forest, behind it a military training ground - a real wilderness. You can walk through the wilderness on foot, through the forest you can drive to the end and turn to the salt estuary (on the map below).
