Yasinia. Don't Just Pass Through

People come to the Zakarpattia village of Yasinia to enjoy the emerald beauty of the Carpathian expanse and to climb the peaks of the Chornohora range. Since 1894, trains have been arriving at Yasinia station carrying those eager to feel the mountains and see this enchanting land from the height of the mountain summits. Before World War II, Czechs and Germans came here to hunt and to visit. European journalists prepared reports about the authenticity of this multinational settlement, while foreign artists discovered little-known picturesque landscapes.

Syniak. A Balneological and Ski Resort of Zakarpattia

As far back as the 16th century the messengers of Ivan the Terrible, crossing the mountain ridges and the hard-to-reach passes of the Sarmatian Mountains, reported to the tsar that the water in these parts was: "sour as cabbage soup, and there are wells in which you could boil an egg, and there are little streams in which, once you wash, you could turn into a bird". The healing properties of the Carpathian springs helped resorts to develop in this picturesque and ecologically clean locality. High on a mountain meadow, amid untouched forests, lies the small village of Syniak.
