Discover Velyka Omelyana

Velyka Omelyana brings together archaeological settlements from different periods, the offerings of the “Favor” equestrian club and a spring site passed by Route 621. When planning your trip, you can distinguish between these points of interest by period, type of activity and location.

Archaeological settlements from different periods

An archaeological settlement on the eastern outskirts of the village dates from the 11th to the 13th century. Two other settlements in Velyka Omelyana are attributed to the Bronze Age and date from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BC. This places the Bronze Age settlements several millennia before the settlement on the eastern outskirts. One of these settlements lies 400 metres southeast of the bridge over the river on the Rivne–Mlyniv road. The other is 300 metres southwest of the edge of the village. The landmarks differ: for the first settlement, the bridge and road are key; for the second, it is the edge of the village. The compass directions also help distinguish the two Bronze Age sites. If you would like to place the local history in context, the Bronze Age and the 11th to 13th century are represented side by side here. For a spatial comparison, the relevant points are the respective starting landmarks and directions. This lets you distinguish the settlements by both historical period and location, without treating the three settlements as a single site.

Riding lessons and horse excursions

The “Favor” equestrian club in Velyka Omelyana offers both one-off and recurring riding lessons. There are also excursions exploring the world of horses and people, as well as how to interact with horses. The formats differ in their offerings and focus: riding lessons centre on riding, while the excursions explore horses and interaction with them. You can also choose between one-off and recurring sessions for riding lessons. This may help you decide which type of activity fits your travel plans. If you would like to schedule a riding lesson or excursion, contact the club in advance to ask about specific dates.

Spring site and Route 621

The spring site is in Velyka Omelyana, and Route 621 passes by it. Its location is described differently from that of the archaeological settlements: there, compass directions, the edge of the village and the bridge on the Rivne–Mlyniv road serve as landmarks; for the spring, the route number is the reference point. This provides another specific location alongside the historical periods and riding activities. If you include Route 621 in your navigation, you can identify the spring site as the place the route passes.

Choose the focus of your stay

When looking for a hotel in Velyka Omelyana, you can first decide which local point of interest matters most to your trip: the settlements from widely different periods, the equestrian club’s offerings or the spring site on Route 621. The archaeological settlements provide a historical perspective, while riding lessons and excursions offer specific activities involving horses.
