| The Lazeshchyna River. Transcarpathia |
Like most of its Carpathian sisters, it has rapids and riffles.
The sources of the Lazeshchyna are on the Chornohora massif, between the Carpathian peaks of Hoverla and Petros.

In the settlement of Yasinia, the Lazeshchyna meets the more powerful Chorna Tysa, and together they form part of the Danube basin.

The hydronym shares its name with the village, which stretches along the river for about 10 kilometres. Concrete road bridges and pedestrian suspension bridges on metal cables with a wooden deck are thrown across the river.

The suspension crossings sway as you cross them and are reminiscent of a swing.

The proximity of mountain ranges, the picturesque landscapes, and the colourful scenes of village life add to the tourist appeal of this Carpathian beauty.
