Our two most popular summer routes, to Pikuy and Borzhava, are combined in the one weekend adventure. Your efforts will be rewarded with the breathtaking scenery of the Carpathian Mountains.

Borzhava Range is regarded as the most picturesque destination in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It is also one of the easiest terrains for hill walking. During a two-day tour to Borzhava, you’ll also discover fascinating objects of historical heritage: the remains of the former Soviet military base and the radiolocation station at the Stiy Mountain are the attractions of this route. In the last decades of USSR, the radar station controlled the airspace over Eastern Europe. The final stop of the walk is by the beautiful Shypit Waterfall. Total route length is 30 km.

Lopata Mountain is a beautiful peak in Skolivski Beskydy, one of the closest Carpathian ranges around Lviv. A walk to Lopata, with a relatively easy ascent and steep descent, is an enjoyable exercise for a day out. The peak used to be the epicenter of military clashes: one can still see the remains of WWI trenches there. Later, during the WWII, these fortifications were used by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in their victorious battle against the Nazi troops. On the Lopata walk, we will also see two interesting hydrological sites of the Lviv region: Kamyanka waterfall and Zhuravlyne Lake, also known as Dead Lake due to the high levels of hydrogen sulfide in the water.

Our ancestors believed that Christmas is the magical time. And the best place to feel the magic is in the Carpathians! Hutsuls, Ukrainian indigenous mountain community, cherish their authentic heritage. Their traditions are colorful and impressive. In this 4-days tour you will experience a festive Holy Supper of 12 meals, solemn holiday church service, famous men’s caroling and traditional Hutsul hospitality. This will be an unforgettable Christmas!

The starting point of your travel is Lviv, the biggest city in Western Ukraine, and the center of the historical region of Galicia with beautiful architecture and rich history. Being a medieval fortress on the crossroads of many transcontinental trade routes, Lviv (also known as Leopolis, Lemberg or Lwów) was a melting pot for many cultures, like Ukrainian, Polish, German, Armenian, Austrian, Jewish, Italian, and many more. They all left their legacies, which create unique atmosphere of contemporary Lviv. You’ll proceed to the Carpathian mountains, to the Hutsul region. This journey to the wild side of Ukraine will take you back in time!
Hutsuls are one of the Ukrainian ethnic groups who inhabited the Carpathians. Living in desolate mountain areas, they preserved their long-time traditions, handicrafts and way of life. We will visit Hutsul sheep shepherds, who still keep their ancestors’ lifestyle. We will make Hutsul traditional handicrafts such as pottery, blankets weaving and woodcarving. We will see traditional Hutsul wooden architecture which is on the UNESCO world heritage list. And we’ll indulge ourselves with traditional local cuisine. All that will be happening in the breathtaking landscapes of the Carpathian Mountains.

The transient and fragile beauty of spring flowers has inspired the Japanese for over a thousand years. Ancient Japanese tradition to admire blossoming cherry, or sakura, trees has found its way into Ukraine. The mild climate of sunny Zakarpattya region is favourable for whimsical sakuras and for winemaking as well, making the region a famous wine destination in Ukraine. That is why we offer to combine the contemplation of flowers with the tasting of local wines. The Schoenborn Palace and the collection of Uzhgorod city mini-sculptures complement the program of this one-day tour.
