Description of the attraction
National Natural Park "Hutsulshchyna" is the pearl of the entire Hutsul region, the beauty of the Ukrainian Carpathians, as well as the pride of local residents.
Park "Hutsulshchyna" was created with the aim of preserving, reproducing and rational use of genetic resources of flora and fauna, unique natural complexes and ethnocultural environment, which have a special nature conservation, historical, scientific, educational, cognitive, aesthetic, recreational and health-improving value.
The park, first of all, is interesting because it is one of the few parks in the country, in which the Hutsul ethnos has been successfully preserved and developed. Customs, crafts, and traditions - all this lives in authentic Carpathian villages on the territory of the Hutsulshchyna Natural Park. This is one of the few places where you can touch the original culture of the Hutsuls: buy your favorite products from local craftsmen, take a master class on weaving and carving, or try yourself as a musician by playing local musical instruments.
The park has a fairly complex and mostly hilly terrain. Its highest point is Mount Gregot, 1472 meters above sea level. The invaluable wealth of the Hutsulshchyna National Park has become its various forests, where oak, ash, elm, beech, hornbeam, birch, elder and buckthorn grow. Many of the park's plants are included in the Red Book of Ukraine.
The park has a very well-developed tourist infrastructure. To services of tourists are presented many options for active recreation. In winter there are ski slopes. There are also many hotels, recreation centers and sanatoriums.
An interesting feature of the natural park "Hutsul" is the fact that the original Hutsul architecture has been preserved here - the famous Hutsul churches, which are distinguished by their sophistication and harmony.
