Why should you give priority to rest in the Carpathians?
The large territory of Ukraine makes it an amazing place for hiking. However, the most exciting trails are located in the Carpathians. They say that from one of the highest mountain ranges of Montenegro you can admire the panorama of the entire Western Ukraine.

It is especially beautiful here in spring and summer, when greenery, colorful flowers and berries cover the mountain tops.
Climbing the highest mountain peak of Hoverla is a real challenge and an unforgettable adventure during your vacation in the Carpathians.
