The Lazeshchyna River. A Hutsul Mountain Stream

Ukraine has about 30,000 mountain rivers, and we admire the overwhelming majority of these watercourses in the Carpathians. The Lazeshchyna is a typical small mountain river with a stony bed and a swift current; it is 21 km long and flows within the Rakhiv district in Transcarpathia.
