The Carpathian Mountains have unique landscapes, which undoubtedly influenced the settlement of local residents. There are small settlements on the hills and in the valleys, each of which has a unique history, cultural and mythological heritage, traditions and customs. We've put together tours that will help you experience the extraordinary world of mountain dwellers. Read more in the article.

Vorokhta

Vorokhta is the village from where you can go to the highest mountain in the Carpathians - Hoverla. However, not only there... From Vorokhta you can go to the mountains of Shpytsi, Pip Ivan and Rebra. And beginners can start their experience of climbing the peaks from Mount Kukul - this route is not difficult at all.

Vorokhta is located on the banks of the Prut River and has incredible hydrological and forest landscapes, as it is situated at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level on the northern slopes of the Wooded Carpathians. By the way, it is here that world-famous Ukrainian biathlon champions prepare for competitions.

Earlier we told you that on the occasion of Independence Day, Visit Ukraine offers a special offer for families for tours that include climbing Hoverla. Details of the promotion can be found here.

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.

Visitors will be interested in the Hutsul Brynza festival and the Europe Center ethno-rock festival.

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.

Dzembronia is also known for its waterfalls, which are located in the Verkhovyna district and are rightly considered the pearl of the Carpathians.
