Ukraine is defined by its land.
Boundless steppes. Not just a landscape, but a force — a vast space that sets no limits.
Forests with roots reaching back to ancient times, stretching beyond the horizon. Beside them rose our first cities: Kyiv, Chernihiv, Korsun.
Mountains that safeguard Ukrainian traditions, legends, and songs.
The sea — a place of salt, sun, and trade, a place of eternal encounters with something new.
In our land lie iron ore and coal, graphite and salt, oil, gas, amber, quartz, amethyst, and much more.
Herodotus — the father of history — wrote about our land. Monks and merchants, diplomats and travelers walked upon it. We have countless accounts from them.
This hall is a tribute and hymn to the Ukrainian land.
The land you walk on every day in the east, in the center, in the west, north, and south.
And every millimeter of it is truly WOW worthy.
In total, there are 28 types and over 650 varieties of soil in Ukraine, formed over different parent rocks.
Take a look at how they differ from one another!
