The Early Bronze Age has left its mark in the form of dolmens - cult buildings. To one of these monuments of archeology we will be poisoned! The main attraction of our trip will be the only fully preserved monolithic dolmen. On the way to it we will visit the monastery, look at a real apiary and an unusual tree.

Our journey will begin with a visit to the Monastery of the Desert of the Cross. There is a font, a shop at the monastery and the beautiful nature around it. It is worth coming here at least to walk along the footpaths in the forest nearby.

In the village of Golovinka itself there is an unusual tulip tree. The tree got its name because of its flowers. The fact is that they are shaped like tulips.
