It is situated among the trees of beech and smereka forest and sand rocks. The opryshkys headed by legendary leader Oleksa Dovbush once hid here. Have a walk around the complex — stone embankments, rocky formations, mysterious gorges and deep holes, you will never forget such a journey.

Excursion to the Tustan Fortress

Tustan Nature Reserve consists of: Kamin Rocks complex (Hostryi Kamin, Mala Skelia, and Zholob) and rocks that are geographically adjacent to the Voronovyi Ridge; area that is adjacent to the aforesaid rocks with cultural layers from the ancient times to the Middle Ages; a defense system (multirow ditches and ramparts) of the Tustan Rocks complex; a hydraulic facility (dam) in the Stavy Natural Landmark; areas where natural landmarks are located. Tustan is a unique historic monument and a piece of architecture of the ІХ-ХІІІ centuries that unrivaled throughout Europe. It is a place where you can turn back history and become a part of Ukrainian Medieval culture.

Excursion to the Lake Synevyr

Synevyr Lake lies at an altitude of almost 1,000 meters above sea level. The Legend of the Carpathians, the Pearl of the Carpathians, or the Sea Eye of the Carpathians — these are just some names of Synevyr. It was formed around 10 thousand years ago as a result of an earthquake; three mountain streams flowing to the lake maintain a high water level all the year round. The lake has a maximum depth of 24 m and an area of around 5 hectares. The lake is graced with mahogany sculptures of two lovers: a young man Vyr and a girl Syn; legend has it that the name of the lake was formed by combining these two names. The monument is 13 m high. In Synevyr, there is numerous trout of several species; however, fishing for trout is strictly prohibited. Swimming in the lake is also prohibited, although cold water doesn’t inspire to swimming — in summer, it reaches a maximum temperature of 10-12 °C only. You will always want to come back to the life giving waters, especially, if you are a backpacker tired of the trip. Create your legend about the beauty of this lake like more than one generation did, like those who were fascinated by this place, left and keep leaving a piece of their hearts here.

Synevyr Brown Bear Rehabilitation Center

Synevyr Brown Bear Rehabilitation Center occupies an area of 12 hectares of mixed forest, mountain rivers, and waterfalls. The mission of the Center is rehabilitation of individual brown bears that were abused or held captive in an improper environment. The bears are first held in pens and after the treatment, they are let go to a specially equipped natural environment. For those bears that do not want to make homes themselves, there are twenty dens dug out at the rehab center. The top of these ‘homes’ is equipped with wood beams and the floor is covered with hay and dried leaves. Today, 18 bears live in the rehab center.

Excursion to Kolochava

There are 10 museums in the village, imagine how much the dwellers love and are proud of their homeland. There is no other place in Ukraine like Kolochava with its spacious valleys and spinless lush forests. You will be amazed to see either a monument, a memorial sign, or a church rising from behind a sharp bend of a twisty path. This place is really replete with landmarks. It’s no wonder because the village combines various traditions and the heritage of Hutsuls, Boikos, and Lemkos and welcomes everyone who wants to explore it.

Having meals at Wolf’s Korchma (Tavern)

Beneath Mountain Hymba in the village of Pylypets, there is one of the seven wonders of Ukraine — a waterfall Shypit. Its numerous streams fall down from a height of 14 meters and resemble thousands of diamonds that are rolling from above. The waterfall attracts by its beauty at any time of the year. However, it is the most full-flowing in the spring, when the snow melts. What is the waterfall whispering about and what love story are its waters narrating — you will find out during our tour.

Mountain Hymba

In Polish, “gemba” means a lip. The mountain does resemble a lip. It offers many vast landscapes from the Polonyna Borzhava, a part of which Mountain Hymba is. The tourist routes, as well as hiking routes, pass here. Eight lifts are operating on its hillsides, therefore even the laziest tourist can easily get to the top of the mountain.

Travelling to Zakarpattia (Transcarpathians)

Warm and welcoming holiday land of poets and cookery experts. There is a certain unique festival for each type of wine: white wine festival in Berehovo, red wine festival in Mukachevo, young wine festival in Uzhgorod as well as honey and wine festival.

It is the only authentic deer farm in Ukraine. One hundred and fifty chamois and deer attract streams of tourists. Actually, no one can help to admire these sweet and friendly animals constantly posing for a photo. You shouldn’t miss a chance to feed yummy stale or fresh bread to them.

Thermal Pool Warm Waters in Veliatino

Healing waters of Zakarpattia (Transcarpathians) are very popular among both locals and Ukrainians from other cities. Warm waters of Veliatyno is one of the most popular thermal water resorts, well known for the healing effects. These baths are saturated with bromine and iodine that have a relaxing effect on the body. The salinity of this water is 100 grams per liter, which is ten times higher than that of seawater. Even overseas visitors come here to rest, relax, and rejuvenate in the warm waters extracted from a one-kilometer deep well in Veliatino. You should try it because your health is worth taking care of.

Wine Tasting

Hospitable Mansion of Mychailo Polychka’s Family Wine House is located on the outskirts of Vynohradiv in Zakarpattia Oblast on the southwestern slope of Chorna Hora (‘Black Mountain’). The massif of the mountain with orchards and vineyards growing on its down slopes is a state nature reserve. Wine House offers wine tasting sessions. The wines are made of grapes growing in the vineyards of the southern side of Mount Shalankivska in Vynohradivskyi District. The area is geographically located at the level of Hungary’s Mount Tokay (Tokaj). On the land plot where the Wine House is located, there is a ‘collectible’ yielding vineyard with over 250 table and wine grape varieties from all over the world. Wines are made at the underground cellar of the Wine House, where the temperature level of 14-16 °C is maintained throughout the year. At the underground cellar, you can learn about the wine aging and storage technology. On the 1st floor, there is a tasting room where the fireplace is burning during wine tasting sessions reviving the history of viticulture and winemaking and filling with a jolly spirit of the God of Wine Bacchus. There is a covered terrace adjacent to the hall and entwined with various grape varieties were in the cool shade of a grape bush, you can hold a glass of wine and enjoy fresh grapes thinking about eternal. When acacia and linden trees are in bloom, you can breathe dense, fragrant air, hear birds singing, and see pheasants walking around and calling each other. Before the sun goes down, you can hear a roebuck’s call from the nearby forest. You can find a full range of honey products from apiaries located on Chorna Hora. Visitors have open access to both the orchard and the vineyard. From July to December, table grapes (including Don Agate, a therapeutic variety) constantly ripen in the vineyards.

Geographical Center of Europe

There are a lot of ‘centers’ of Europe in and outside of Ukraine, since Europe is always young, changeable, restless, etc. But this center near Dilove Village was measured (I would love to say ‘treasured’) by a special ultraprecise Austro-Hungarian device in the pre-war period of 1887… So, there is no doubt about it, moreover, no one wants to doubt… Ok then, here, then here!

Ascent of Hoverla

Such hiking trips, or ascents, will clean your body and give you a second wind. Conquering steep trails will make you hardier and more confident. Moving several kilometers up the road, to heavens, above the clouds, passing by three worlds: coniferous and beech protected forests, a belt of low growing junipers mixed with blueberry, or yafina (‘athena’), bushes, and spacious mountain pastures carrying the smell of wind. You can see springs sanctified by molfars and rare wild birds somewhere on the way… Ascent of Hoverla is an adventure that you should not miss!

Hutsulshchyna and Hutsuls are our country’s flamboyant phenomenon. Hutsuls have been historically known for bright, colorful clothing and authentic folk traditions, which attract many visitors from around the world. Mountains have had an impact on this subethnicity, in particular, on the character and habits of Hutsuls. They are extremely hospitable and cheerful people, so come here, and you will see!

Excursion to Hutsulshchyna

Hut-Museum of the Film ‘Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors’

The Museum that was founded at the turn of the centuries is a monument to the Ukrainian poetic cinema of the past century. The museum’s staff like Carpathian gold diggers washed out memories about the cinema’s great adventure piece by piece. Here, ordinary citizens, incredibly talented people and genii are mixed in a single flow as well as folk antiques and advanced means of expression of that time. ‘Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors’ won many international awards and still fascinates viewers.

Polonynska ‘Khata-Staya’ (Cheese Factory)

If you come out to a mountain pasture in late summer, you will immerse yourself in the world of sheepherders. Previously, sheep farming was considered the core labor activity of Hutsuls; however, later on, cheese making and sheep shearing became not so profitable, although the traditions still live on. In a ‘kolyba’ on the mountain meadow, there are big bryndza (sheep milk cheese) truckles hanging from the ceiling and being smoked. You should ask cheese craftsmen to learn what ‘gleg’, ‘buts’, ‘vurda’, etc., mean. Polonynska ‘Khata-Staya’ is waiting for you!

Roman Kumlyk’s Musical Instrument Museum

Roman Kumlyk, the owner of the private mansion museum that was founded in the first half of the 2000s, prefers to conduct excursions in a varying manner. You can always learn something new here. The museum owner collected various exhibits, such as household items, clothes, money, women's jewelry, etc., from throughout the Carpathians. However, the collection of musical instruments that is frequently extended is the most valuable thing here. Mr. Roman will not only tell you about each instrument, but will also play, or even sing, which turns the excursion into a concert of authentic music, music of tops and bottoms.

Verkhovyna Brewery Museum

Verkhovyna private brewery is not only a production facility, but also a museum where the experts will help dear guests discover the world of tipsy magic herbal potions of Hutsuls.

Chornyi Cheremosh Rafting

Optional!

Chornyi Cheremosh Rafting is an extreme outdoor activity in the mountains, but given the low complexity of the river, it is quite safe for beginners. This is the place where you will find everything you need to experience water and enjoy the beauty of the Carpathians. Turbulent river flows and steep mountain rapids: Dzembronia, Didiv Likot, Bila Kobyla, Huchky, Huk — you will not be able to forget the experienced impressions. Flood of positive emotions and sensations, stunning Carpathian landscapes, and clean air — this is the vacation in the Carpathians that you will remember forever.

Excursion to Bukovel

Bukovel is the best ski resort in Ukraine that you can enjoy all year round. You can go skiing, snowboarding, skating, dog sledding, etc., in winter, and go hiking, diving in the lake, and sightseeing in summer. Anyway, here, you can always enjoy clean healthy air, breathtaking views and have an excellent mood.

Probiy Waterfall

In Yaremche, you feel you are at the heart of tourism. Stop and get down on a boulder, warmed up by the sun along the Prut River. Listen to the roar of the foaming Probiy Waterfall, get surprised looking at brave guys swimming next to the dangerous waterfall whirlpools, behold the stunning flowing river standing on the suspension bridge completely covered in love locks. You can buy wonderful Carpathian stuff at the souvenir market not far from here (edible horses made of cheese, handwoven blankets, and various wooden and cane products). You can try traditional Hutsul dishes in a must-visit Vodohray Café and Hutsulshchyna Restaurant built without a single nail (borshch, bryndza, baked trout, etc.).
