Most people plan their summer holidays by the sea, and consider the mountains as a place for winter recreation.. And it’s completely in vain, because the mountains offer many opportunities for active and passive recreation, as well as for healing and treatment in the warm season..

What can you do in the mountains (in our case, the nearest mountains are the Carpathians) in the summer?

Perhaps the main advantage of a holiday in the mountains is to breathe clean air, enjoy the silence and consume fresh local products..

Today, it is quite easy to find housing in the Carpathians for every taste - sanatoriums, boarding houses and recreation centers for lovers of the regime; private hotels and estates for those who want to be closer to nature and plunge into the atmosphere of the life of the highlanders. And, of course, no one has canceled the extreme version of a holiday in the mountains - outings and hiking with a tent.

For cognitive leisure - excursions to historical places and architectural monuments. Wooden churches, castles and palaces, ancient parks, wine cellars, museums and much more await you..

If you are interested in local traditions, listen to music and dance, taste regional cuisine and drink wine in a fun atmosphere, visit one or more of the festivals that are regularly held in the Carpathians in the summer.

Of course, there is no sea in the Carpathians. But there are rivers, lakes, ponds and pools. Therefore, swimming in summer is no problem.. Mountain water, although cold, is clean and invigorating.. In addition, you will have the opportunity to refresh yourself near real mountain waterfalls..

The most popular type of outdoor activity in the mountains is hiking.. The Carpathians have no equal in this. There are routes for all tastes and needs and for any level of physical fitness.. The easiest and most popular route is the Chornohora Range, where the main attractions of the Ukrainian Carpathians are located - an abandoned observatory on Mount Pip Ivan and the highest mountains Hoverla and Petros (Chernogora).

By the way, in the next few years the observatory should be reconstructed, so that the tourist map will be replenished with another well-groomed attraction..

For those who are too lazy to climb the mountain on foot, there are lifts in some places..
