A 17.5-metre-high stele is part of the National Memorial Complex “Vysota marshala I.S. Konieva” in Solonytsivka. Together with an exhibition of military equipment, a chapel and a museum, the complex is the town’s cultural focal point. It is also where cycling route 7301 ends; the route is 12.24 kilometres long. Solonytsivka thus offers two distinct starting points for planning your trip: the memorial complex and a cycling route with its own course.

Memorial complex with several thematic points of interest

The memorial complex includes a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Warrior and the museum “Kharkivshchyna u Velykii Vitchyznianii viini 1941–45 rr.” The museum’s title refers to the Kharkiv region during the Second World War, 1941–45; the exhibition explicitly focuses on military equipment. The stele, chapel, exhibition and museum each offer a different thematic perspective within the same complex. If you are interested in regional history, the museum’s title provides a specific historical timeframe; if you pay attention to religious dedications, the chapel offers a different point of interest. Check current access to the complex before your visit.

Cycling route 7301: destination, distance and terrain

Cycling route 7301 runs from Kharkiv to the memorial complex and ends in Solonytsivka. It is 12.24 kilometres long. The route runs entirely on unpaved roads and away from settlements. Deciduous forests, meadows and fields line the route; the terrain is also hilly, with ascents and descents. The distance, surface and elevation profile offer different points of reference for planning the cycling leg, while the landscape details add to the route’s character. Check current route conditions before setting out.

Return routes to Kharkiv in the wider region

Two routes are described for returning from the Konev Heights to Kharkiv. For one option, descend to the main road and turn left onto a paved road. The alternative goes through the Udy River valley and also passes the airfield in Korotych. This gives you specific features to compare: the road route with a turnoff on one side, and the Udy valley together with an additional airfield on the other. Cycling route 7301 runs from Kharkiv to the memorial complex; these return routes, by contrast, describe ways back to Kharkiv from the heights. Check current route conditions before your ride.

Choose accommodation based on your destination

If the memorial complex is the reason for your trip, search for holiday apartments in Solonytsivka for your specific travel dates. Then plan your stay around your main interest: a cultural visit, cycling route 7301 or one of the regional return routes to Kharkiv.
