Skole (ukr. Сколе) is located in western Ukraine, lying in the Lviv region. It is a small town, located in the picturesque valley of the Stryi River, surrounded by mountains. Skole is primarily known for its beautiful landscapes, making it a popular tourist destination, especially for those interested in mountain hiking and nature.
The town has a rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages, and is one of the most important centers in this part of Ukraine. Skole was known as a center of crafts, as well as trade in the region. Today, the town remains small, but is known for its folk traditions, local culture, and typical Ukrainian rural life.
There are also many tourist attractions in the Skole area, such as mountain trails, including parts of the Carpathian Mountains, and historical sites, which attract tourists seeking both peace and quiet and active outdoor recreation.
The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. It is actually the center of the city, so you will reach the nearest and one of the most important points of interest in the city, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
On the other hand, heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
The Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worthy of your attention. There, the works of Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
The museum is a great place to visit.
Monchengladbach can furthermore be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodation in Monchengladbach should be slightly lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar for virtually a whole week.
