Excursion program Bathing in tanks in Lumshory:

- Departure from Uzhhorod.

- Moving to the small highland village of Lumshory.

- A walk along the Turychka mountain stream to the small but very picturesque waterfalls "Davir" and "Solovey".

- SPA procedures: alternating bathing in tanks with hot mineral water and a cold mountain river. An unforgettable experience! A huge cast-iron vat with a capacity of approximately 2,000 litres stands in the middle of a roofless wooden hut. It is filled with mineral water and heated with firewood on an open fire. There are several stones in the vat. You get inside (4-5 people), and the hospitable host puts firewood in the fire and "cooks" you over a slow fire. As soon as you feel that the blood begins to boil (although the water is heated to no more than + 45° C), jump out! An icy mountain stream is a few steps away, dive there and get back into the tank.

- Moving to Perechyn. Lunch-tasting of Transcarpathian cuisine in ethno-restaurant "Horseshoe".

- Moving to the castle hill near the village of Nevytske. Excursion through the ruins of Nevytskyi Castle (15th century) - the most mysterious castle in Transcarpathia. History and legends of ancient walls. According to legend, young brides of a noble family were buried in it, away from human eyes. Amazing photos with a view of the Uzhan Valley and the Slovak Tatras.
