To have a good weekend, it’s better to plan it. Do you like to chill by the campfire, enjoy your time outdoors, breathe in the scents of flowers and freshly roasted shish kebab? If so, you should look for special places to rest by the fire.
Most Lviv residents go out of the city and have picnics on the lawns near the water. Keep in mind that resting with fire is only allowed in designated places - those that are equipped specifically for building fires. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting a fine, which will probably ruin your vacation.
Those who break the fire safety rules in the forest area are legally held to administrative responsibility. In such cases, they may be fined (eighteen to fifty-one hryvnia). Offenders who fire bonfires on meadows, pastures or stubble will have to pay from 170 to 340 UAH. Officials will receive an even higher fine - up to 1200 UAH.
