Skansen in Kolochava

Immediately after the village of Negrovets, the houses of the large village of Kolochava begin. Its population is more than 7 thousand inhabitants. To go from one end of the village to the other, you have to lose a lot of time, because the length of Kolochava is more than 15 kilometers. Kolochava consists of five villages: Lazy, Horb, Bradolets, Suhar, Mereshor.

In his time, Kolochava was famous for the novel “Mykola Shugai” by the Czech communist writer Ivan Olbracht. The novel is devoted to the fate of the last Carpathian opricho. To this day, many tourists from the Czech Republic visit Kolochava every year.

Скансен у Колочаві

If you walk around the countryside, you can hear the sound of the marshy ground snapping. It is because of this sound under the feet of the peasants, who fled to these places from their masters, that the name of the village comes from, because there really is clucking around (“circle of clucking”). Another legend connects the origin of the name of the village with the Kolochavka River, which flows through the village. The name of the river comes from its stormy nature. The water in the raging river is muddy (turbid). According to another legend, once upon a time in the village of Ust-Chorna, a young peasant named Chavka, who came from a poor family, was sent to serve in the army. Chavka ran away from the service and settled in the forest, even married a girl from Ust-Chorna. When her mother was asked where her daughter went from the village, she answered “Kolo Chavka”. That is how the village of Kolochava appeared.

On the rise in the center of the village, to the left of the road, stands the majestic Church of the Holy Spirit with a bell tower. The temple was built in 1795 by master Ferenc Tekka. The church is slender and perfectly proportioned: the high tower above the nave ends with a baroque dome. The wooden two-story belfry, which stands nearby, is covered with tin. Due to inter-confessional disputes between the Orthodox and Greek-Catholic religious communities of the village, the temple is empty and is a museum. The last restoration of the temple and bell tower was carried out in 1969-1970.

Kolochava is known primarily as a museum village. As many as ten museum institutions operate here. They are dedicated to folk architecture, narrow-gauge, Bokorash, Soviet school, Czech school, Arpad line, internationalist soldiers, UPA soldiers and Ivan Olbracht. Each museum impresses with its uniqueness and inimitability.

In addition, as many as twenty sculptures have been installed in Kolochava. Here you can find monuments dedicated to workers, shepherds and teachers. In total, half a hundred memorial objects are located in Kolochava.

The unique Shwegan Bird Park is also located in Kolochava. A local enthusiast has collected a huge collection of exotic birds in it.

There is a “School of Shepherding” in Kolochava, where tourists are given the opportunity to try themselves as a shepherd: drive a flock of sheep out to pasture, cook cottage cheese and milk goats and sheep.

In the spring, you can admire the real purple sea in Kolochava – the saffron valley is located here.
