Glencoe — Into the Wild Beauty of the Highlands
Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most spectacular glens — a place where nature, history, and myth collide. Our adventure to the Lost Valley took us through ancient forests, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful hidden trails. This unforgettable journey was both a physical challenge and a spiritual escape into the heart of the Highlands.





The Magic of the Lost Valley — An Unforgettable Highland Experience
On July 20 and September 28, our Ukrainian community embarked on an inspiring journey to Glencoe to explore the legendary Lost Valley (Coire Gabhail). Known for its breathtaking scenery and dramatic landscapes, this route offered a perfect balance of challenge and beauty.
From the very first steps through the dense forest, we were captivated by the stunning views of towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and quiet streams. The trail led us across rocky paths and over small rivers, adding a sense of adventure and excitement to our hike.
Many of us felt like we had stepped into a fantasy world — the scenery was so surreal, it resembled scenes from The Lord of the Rings or Tolkien's books. Cloud-covered peaks and mystical valleys created a sense of wonder and serenity.
Reaching the Lost Valley was the highlight of our journey. Surrounded by silence and untouched nature, it felt like time stood still. We paused to reflect, take photos, and simply absorb the majesty of the Highlands.
This trip left a deep impression on our hearts. We are thankful to everyone who joined and helped organize this experience, and we look forward to more moments of unity, nature, and discovery.
