Things to see and do Carpathian Mountains

The park includes six different massifs, plus the Chorna and Yulivska mountains at an altitude that varies from 180 to 2,061 m above sea level. Nearly 90% of its territory is made up of virgin forests. The park office also has a very informative museum on the nature of the Carpathians (open every day from 8am to 5pm). Just behind the museum begins the path that is part of the Via Carpatica, a trail of several tens of kilometres that runs through the northern part of the Transcarpathian region to Poland.

For information about the courses you can contact the very competent staff of the park office who will provide you with all the necessary information about the visit and the accommodation possibilities. Here you will also find an exhibition on the culture and nature of the Carpathians.

Not far from Saint Nicholas Cathedral, the small wooden church Saint-Nicolas is the oldest in the city.

Organizes trips to the Carpathians and Crimea.

Organizes excursions in the Carpathians.

The Art Nouveau facade is a masterpiece in itself. There is a collection of bucovines rural paintings from the th century. But the visitor's eye can only be attracted by the magnificent city hotel which is certainly the most beautiful building of the square.

Another street in the heart of the city, named after the Lithuanian prince Koriatovych, came to invade the Transcarpatie in 1393. The city is divided into two parts: The part is, where most buses and taxis leave, and the western part, much more commercial.

Attached to the Zoology Museum, this huge botanical park spans 4 ha. It houses 3 900 species of plants, 1 100 of which are greenhouse.

This museum displays a collection of 110 000 pieces from the region: fauna, flora, history, folklore and even numismatics.

This is the city centre of Uzhgorod. It is composed almost entirely of cafes, restaurants, banks and shops. Its name of Italian origin means "the street of walks". The former occupants of the city were two Princes princes, the Drougetti brothers. All the houses in the neighbourhood are old and have only two or three floors. The ruelle is narrow and leads straight to Voloshyna street, another very lively street.

One of the most interesting excursions is that which leads to the cliffs and caves of Dovboush, the name of one of the heroes of the region, Oleksa Dovboush, who had found refuge there. To get there, you must take the bridge above the Prut and walk towards the south over 1 km. The path to access the cliffs starts on the left. It takes about 3 hours to take this hike.

With its 2 061 m it is the high mountain of Ukraine. The climb of the mount, which is one of the most popular hikes of the Ukrainians, is not particularly difficult. Initially, the trail follows the road of Yaremche towards Vorokhta and Zaroslyak. You can walk on foot or borrow one of the many Mar с hroutk hadžić that cover these destinations. 7 km south of Vorokhta you will see a fork and follow the road on the right towards Zaroslyak. The climb starts from the tourist base of Zaroslyak. The summit is easily recognisable to the Ukrainian flag proudly drawn. From 1 400 m, the path is surrounded by fields of wild flowers and grass. Here you will find a small source of drinking water. At the top, the only trees that grow are dwarf pinnacles. The vegetation on the west side of the mountain is far less green because of its exposure to warm air masses from the southwest. The summit offers a superb view of the other summits. Some plates of snow resist in summer. It is at the top of this mountain that Ukraine knows its worst time: cold and snow all year round. Moreover, the name of the mountain, of Hungarian origin, means "the snowy mountain". But this does not prevent 24 000 Ukrainians from climbing it every August to celebrate Independence Day.

It is not of great interest. However, it shows the evolution of the city. Temporary exhibits, with random taste, are organized

This museum offers beautiful objects representative of the traditional Houtsoule and Pakoute culture (another Ukrainian Carpathian people). Among the objects are carved sticks, as well as various local musical instruments, including a trebita (kind of horn of the Alps), a duda (kind of bagpipe), as well as junkers. You can also see beautiful ceramics and some popular icons of very beautiful invoice on the second floor.

It is regrettable that the museum does not have a little more money to better expose this beautiful collection. In the main staircase do not miss the beautiful stained glass stained glass window.

We find a pretty shop selling local crafts.

A little further are beautiful antiques, much more authentic than Lviv and more affordable. However, it will not be easy to get a large object out.
