Ich kann diesen Ausflug nur wärmstens empfehlen. Hier hat einfach alles geklappt von der Buchung der Tour bis zur Rückkehr ins Hotel. Gebucht haben wir vor Abflug aus Österreich heraus übers Internet. Wir sind pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt worden und sowohl unser Guide als auch unser Fahrer waren sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und kompetent. Unser Guide hat geduldig unsere vielfältigen Fragen beantwortet und hat uns sehr viel Wissenswertes über unsere Ausflugsziele und die Ukraine erzählt. Wir haben uns für diese Tour entschlossen, da wir neben Lemberg noch eine zweite ukrainische Stadt besuchen wollten und das Kloster klang ebenfalls sehr interessant. Von beidem wurden wir nicht enttäuscht. Zhovkva ist nett. Im Schloss ist noch etliches an Restaurierungsarbeit zu leisten, aber genau dieser Kontrast zwischen dem kleinen, bereits restaurierten Teil und der großen restlichen Anlage hat seinen ganz eigenen Reiz. Der Aufstieg auf den Rathausturm war ebenfalls nichts alltägliches, denn er führt durch ein kleines, aber liebevoll eingerichtetes Museum direkt den Stiegenaufgang entlang! Das Basilius Kloster ist einfach prachtvoll. Ebenso prachtvoll und wunderschön gelegen ist das Kloster Krechiv. So wunderbar der Ausflug bis dorthin war, das für uns absolute Highlight war die kurze Wanderung durch den Wald zum Höhlenkloster. Dieser Weg ist schon alleine für sich einfach beeindruckend, führt an einem wunderbaren Brunnen vorbei und und lohnt jede Mühe. Man kann hier wenig weit von Lemberg entfernt Natur genießen. Gutes, stabiles Schuhwerk ist hier erforderlich! Der krönende Abschluss war die St. Trinity Holzkirche. Wir haben die Tour übrigens auf Deutsch gebucht und unser Guide hat super Deutsch gesprochen! Die Tour ist in einer Minigruppe (2 Personen) nicht ganz günstig, vermutlich auch mitbedingt durch die Buchung in deutscher Sprache, aber ihren Preis unserer Meinung nach auf jeden Fall wert.
