Rakhiv
A small village has become known as the geographical center of Europe. It was founded in 1447 by Hutsuls from Galicia, who were engaged in sheep breeding, beekeeping and fishing. Traditional occupations still remain in the village, as do the old kolyba huts where the Hutsuls settled several centuries ago.
It is said that the name of the town comes from the opryshky movement, which used to count the money taken from the rich here.

Dzembronia
A small village surrounded by mountain peaks offers all the possibilities for relaxation - rest in the woods, picturesque views, picking berries and fruits, clean mountain air...
However, Dzembronia is known not only for its landscapes... Once upon a time, the mountain village was called Berestechko, which did not catch on with tourists and locals. In 1946, the village received its modern name.
There is also work for lovers of the mystical here. Near the village there is Mount Eared Stone, where, according to legend, the Molfars offered sacrifices to the gods thousands of years ago by slaughtering a white bull.
