The National Vyzhnytsya Natural Reserve
The National Vyzhnytsya National Reserve with the total area of 7928.4 hectares was founded on August 30, 1995 in the low mountainous area of the Bukovynian Carpathians. Its mild climate and woods of beech and fir trees create favourable conditions for comfortable rest.
The reserve is situated between the rivers Cheremosh and Siret and stretches within the borders of Vyzhnytsya district.
The reserve attracts tourists by its geomorphologic sights: great rocks "Protyati Kameni" (Cut Stones), "Sokolyne Oko" (Falcon's Eye) and the Cave of Dovbush, and waterfalls "Mountain Throne" (Mt. Sukhoi) and "Huk" (Mt. Smuhariv).
The reserve is rich in such mineral water springs as "Chereshenka" (Sweet Cherry), "Vyzhnytsya" and "Luzhky". Recently two more curative springs of the "Naftusya" type have been discovered.
The Carpathian Mountains, wonderful in any season, are the best decoration of the region. Their landscapes are of vivid Hutsulian colouring with soft mountain contours, emerald-blue fir tree forests, mountain valleys and neat houses.
