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.

The Malevskyi Complex. Picturesque and Little-Known

Despite all its achievements, humankind is inextricably linked to nature, which has given the people of Earth water, air, light, and warmth. People make everything they need for life from natural materials and forget to value and protect these priceless gifts. Nature offers visual aids for understanding the material world and inspires admiration for the astonishing beauty of the surrounding environment. One of the geological clues to the planetary order can be considered the rocky Malevskyi Complex, located in the south-eastern part of the sub-Carpathian village of Deliatyn.

Mykulychyn. Church of the Ascension. Hutsul Architecture

Mykulychyn is the largest village in Ukraine, made up of several uchastky — uchastky precisely, not mere plots — located on the slopes of the Carpathian Mountains. In the centre of the village rises a church with the status of an architectural monument, consecrated in 1868 in honour of the Holy Trinity. The church could not hold all its parishioners, the people of Mykulychyn and visiting guests, while for the residents of the mountain village districts it was not always convenient to reach services along mountain dirt roads and trails. In 2003, on the remote uchastok of Polumystyi at the foot of the emerald ridges (gruni), in the valley of the Prutets Chemyhivskyi River, a new Church of the Ascension of the Lord was built.
