Tour Description
The developed tourist product has a distinct ecological direction. The main target audience is made up of eco-tourists and nature lovers. This tourist product is also designed for young audiences, namely the students of geography and biology departments of Ukrainian universities.
The peculiarity of this tour is in the fact that in a comparatively short time (no more than 12 days) potential tourists have the opportunity to get acquainted with the most famous and unique nature reserve territories of Ukrainian and Romanian Carpathians during one tour only.
Taking this journey, you will discover the beauty of untouched nature and learn a lot about its biological diversity.
The Carpathian Mountains have beautiful landscapes: mountains and green valleys, rocks, which rise to the heights, precipitous hillsides. Mountain villages, which are on the way of the tour, summer tents, built by the villagers for stocking hay, unknown paths of shepherds, which run through forests and meadows ‒ all these things create a unique atmosphere.
On the territory of Rakhiv Region in Zakarpattia Oblast you will be able to see Hutsul Alps and Maramures Massifs, as well as unique relics, preserved on the territory of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve.
After that, you will have a unique opportunity to visit Romania – Maramures County. You will try local food and enjoy subalpine grasslands of Tatar Tableland and highland swamps. You will visit open-air museums, and take a unique train trip. In the spring time there is a wonderful opportunity to visit the narcissus valley both in Ukraine and in Romania.
