Dubova alleyUkraine, Melitopol
The oak alley in the village of Sosnovka covers an area of only 0.12 km2 and is part of the Staroberdyansky forestry. The avenue of 22 oaks was planted in the second half of the 19th century by Mennonites - pacifist Protestants, whose ancestors moved to the Russian Empire at the invitation of Catherine II in the second half of the 18th century. The first house of the Mennonite community has also been preserved here. At the end of the alley there was a pond with a boat station, on weekends a brass band played. The oak alley has been declared a natural monument of local significance. In 2014, 3 young oak trees were planted here so that the alley would continue to delight future generations. Nearby are Elita Park, healing springs and the nature reserve "Stone Grave".
