Key landmarks
1
Manyava
Here, on the banks of the Manyavka River, one of the largest spiritual centers of Western Ukraine is located - "Ukrainian Athos". The historical-architectural reserve "Skyt Manyavskyi" was founded as a hermitage monastery in a picturesque corner of the Carpathians by Jov Kniagynetsky, a native of Mount Athos (1606). At the time of its greatest prosperity, 556 monasteries of Eastern Europe were subordinate to the hermitage. Now here is the Manyavsky Khresto-Vozdvizhenskyi Men's Monastery of the UOC KP. Not far from the hermitage is the "Manyava Waterfall", which is one of the most beautiful and highest in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It cuts through the hard Gorgan rocks, and the water falls from a height of about 20 meters.

Yasinya
"Hutsul capital", the village is located between the Carpathian ridges of Chornohora and Svidovets on the banks of the wayward Black Tisza. Yasinya became famous throughout the world thanks to the masterpiece of Hutsul wooden architecture, the Church of the Ascension of the Lord (1824), i.e. "Strukivska Church", which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
