The Carpathians are not just mountains. It is a real space of strength, inspiration and harmony that opens up only to those who are ready to touch its depths. If you dream of fresh air, mountain panoramas and a touch of the distinctive culture of Zakarpattia, this trip is for you.

Read on to find out how to go on an unforgettable trip to Lake Synevyr and see the real tourist gems of the Ukrainian Mizhhirya.

Synevyr is a legend worth seeing

The trip lasts one day, but leaves an impression for months. It starts with the picturesque panoramas of the Volovets Pass, where a real Carpathian fairy tale begins. Then the route leads to Lake Synevyr, a natural gem that is rightly considered the heart of the Carpathians. Surrounded by pine trees and shrouded in legends, this alpine lake fascinates with its silence, mysticism and incomprehensible depth.

A place of power and a meeting with the Carpathian giant

Not far from Synevyr, there is a bear rehabilitation centre where brown bears rescued from human cruelty live. Here you can observe the animals in a semi-wild environment, learn about their history and role in the symbolism of Transcarpathia. This is not a zoo, but a place where you can feel respect for wildlife.

Hutsul flavour and Shypit waterfall

Lunch in a real kolyba is not just a delicious stop, but an introduction to Hutsul cuisine. And afterwards, you will get acquainted with one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Carpathians - Shipot. Its powerful streams fall from a height of 15 metres, creating a mesmerising symphony of water and stone.

Conquering a mountain peak

The final step is to climb Mount Makovytsia. Thanks to the cable car, you can easily reach an altitude of 1,300 metres and see a breathtaking panorama of the Borzhava meadows. This moment is the perfect culmination of the trip: silence, space, beauty of the environment and a sense of freedom.
