All placed objects are made in a single fairytale style from an environmentally friendly product—wood.Stepping on this Alley, you find yourself in one of the most beloved animated filmsof modern children—Masha and the Bear, walking further, you will meet with the Cossacks—the pride of the Ukrainian nation.Further along the Alley, we are surrounded by: a fairy-tale hut, under which there is a giant mushroom, a baby-train, the Nutcracker, the cartoon characters of Once Upon a Dog and On the Road With Clouds.
In the center of the Alley, there is a “Sundial”. The basis of its creation is the Henichesk legend about the Crossroads of the Four Elements: when Darkness and Emptiness existed in the Universe, and Chaos reigned, the Creator decided to create a world whose foundation became the Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.Water is the source of life, Fire (the Sun) is a source of light and heat, the Earth is the home of all living things, and Air is an irreplaceable source of life.Each of the Elements is powerful, but only together they can turn the world into a better one.Therefore, combining mythology with the climatic features of the city (Henichesk is the sunniest city in the south of Ukraine, it is a land of heat and sun, where an average is 300 days of sunshine a year), the idea arose to create a sunny site with a Sundial at the crossroads of Four Elements in sunny Henichesk.
Robocop, Malvina, Artemon, Buratino, Alice in Wonderland, Cheshire Cat, three monkeys in grotesque poses: “I see no evil, I hear no evil, I do not speak of evil”, Flying ship, Prostokvashino—all these fabulous heroes will meet you on the Alley.
