Yaremche & Ukrainian Carpathians in 60 seconds
Cradled in the forested Prut valley inside Carpathian National Nature Park, Yaremche is the classic base for Ukraine's Hutsul highlands. Watch the Prut plunge over the stepped sandstone ledges of Probiy Waterfall, hike the Dovbush Rocks trail through mossy beech and spruce woods, and continue up the valley toward Vorokhta's stone railway viaducts and the trailhead for Mount Hoverla.
