Sakura in Uzhhorod — Sakura Blossoms of Zakarpattia
The longest sakura alley in Europe • 90 km from Shayan
Every spring, the Uzhhorod embankment turns into a pink fairy tale — over 1,000 Japanese sakura trees bloom along the longest sakura alley in Europe. This phenomenon attracts tens of thousands of tourists from across Ukraine and abroad. Peak blooming falls in mid-April to early May, when delicate petals cover the sidewalks and reflect in the waters of the Uzh River.
Садиба «Закарпатський Прованс» in Shayan is the perfect base for a trip to Uzhhorod. The distance is only 90 km (1.5 hours), so you can combine admiring the sakura blossoms with visiting Uzhhorod Castle, strolling through the old town, and tasting Zakarpattia wines. In the evening, you return to the tranquility of the Carpathian Mountains, the swimming pool, and the comfort of our cottages.
Beyond Uzhhorod, Zakarpattia in spring offers countless experiences: the Valley of Narcissi near Khust, thermal springs, hiking trails in the mountains. Book a few nights at Zakarpattia Provence and create an unforgettable spring getaway.
