Cows are herded by horse mounted cowboys, storks hunt for all kinds of amphibians, and people come here for a swim or picnic. The Base is green and full of life too. Flowerbeds and gardens are kept in tip top condition, the streets are swept and sprinkled regularly, giving the place a colorful and clean impression. Swallows nest under the ridges and balconies, frogs and other amphibians inhabit the creeks, even snakes can be seen. The usual stray dogs and cats are living on the scraps fed to them by gymnasts and kitchen staff, and when there are kittens or puppies born, they usually get more than enough attention from the gymnasts.
Hedgehogs sometimes invade the base, running about on the streets, often even in broad daylight.
The main apartment building, where the gymnasts live On the edge of the forest and the flood plains lies the Olympic Base, this is the place where the Ultra Ukes and Tryzub Titans live and train. And it's a good place to live for these fine young athletes, considering the general malaise in Ukraine. There are no distractions, no disco, no pub, no school, the place is fully equipped for sports, with medical facilities as well. Although the city is only a 20 minute bus ride away, the gymnasts spend almost all their time at the Base. Meals are served in the canteen.
