Description
The Kalyna Country Ecomuseum is a heritage and eco-tourism district in East Central Alberta, named after the highbush cranberry plant, pronounced (Ka-lin-na) in Ukrainian. Kalyna berries were a popular source of food amongst the early pioneers, fur traders and natives. Kalyna Country is a year round playground with culture as diverse as the landscape that offers it. Here the Aspen Parkland and the Boreal Forest converge, split by the scenic North Saskatchewan River Valley, all amidst thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land.
Throughout the region you will see natural rolling hills, abundant livestock and wildlife, beautiful crops and farmland, parks and wilderness areas, unique roadside attractions, scenic hilltop views, pioneer homesteads and picturesque valleys.
Leave the hustle & bustle behind. Pack the camper, hit the highways, take the trails, and enjoy a journey into our history, culture, and adventure in Kalyna Country.
