The swamps of Polissia are impressive. Endless ravines and impenetrable thickets, inaccessible to people and full of many secrets.
Thousand-year-old peatlands preserve the remains of ancient creatures. Carnivorous plants and rare orchids, rhododendrons and heather flourish here. Eternal possessions of beaver, elk and whooping crane. And, of course, the incredible world of traditional Polish trades: picking berries, catching cypresses, weaving vines, archaic beekeeping - all this will be told by experienced wildlife guide Andrii Sagaydak.
The author will share information that will be useful to tourists: from the nature calendar and safety rules to the secrets of survival - how to get drinking water and find food in the swamp, how to make a fire in the swamp or get out of a swamp on your own.
This book is a great opportunity to learn more about the wildlife of the Ukrainian Polissia.
