How to travel from BASEL to CHYHYRYN?

BASEL

Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city and the only one with a port - a river port, of course. It is located on the Swiss border with Germany and France on the Rhine River. The city abounds with numerous historical monuments, and is also famous for its great cuisine and dozens of museums and art galleries.

Basel - city attractions

First of all, visit the local old town with its Gothic cathedral, dark red town hall, Spalen gate (one of three still standing today) and the famous white and blue houses. Around the square are picturesque narrow streets with many historic houses. The observation deck behind the cathedral offers a view of the Rhine River and the other side of the city.

From Basel's museums, it's worth visiting the Tinguely Museum - a prominent Swiss sculptor and painter working in the 1950s and 1960s, famous especially for constructing moving installations and machines, or the Natural History Museum with a huge collection of fossils, remains of prehistoric animals, where you can also learn about the history of the creation of the Alps and the entire region. Also noteworthy is the Museum of Art - one of the most important cultural institutions in the country, full of famous works of art from the 15th century to the present day.

By its location at the meeting point of three borders, Basel is a bit different from the rest of Swiss cities. It combines different cultures, languages and flavors.

CHYHYRYN

Chehryn (ukr. Чигирин) is a town in central Ukraine, located in the Cherkasy region, on the Tymba River, a tributary of the Dnieper. Although it currently has the status of a small city, Chehrin has a very important historical significance, especially in the context of the history of the Cossacks and the birth of Ukrainian statehood.

The most important point in the city's history was the Chehrin fortress, which was one of the main defense centers in the region in the 17th century. This castle played a strategic role during the war with the Ottoman Empire and during the war with Poland. Although the fortress was destroyed by the Turks and Russians, its ruins are still a symbol of Ukrainian resistance and have great historical significance.

Although Chehrin is not a large city today, it has a rich cultural heritage that commemorates its former role in Ukrainian history. Czehryn is home to many monuments commemorating the struggle for independence and national heroes such as Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

The city is also home to the Czehrin Museum, which presents the history of the city, the fortress and the Cossack period. Also worth a visit is St. Michael's Church from the 18th century, which is one of the region's most important religious monuments.
