Carpathians Mountains in Ukraine might not have the drama of Alps (the highest point is only 2061 m). However, their wild rolling hills totally win by being far from crowded. Lightly marked up trails welcome the adventurous travelers. Small family-owned guesthouses are a truly great value for the price. Local Hutsul community still herds the livestock in the highlands, tends to their fields, and supplies the majority of Ukrainian handicrafts. Great place for hiking, cycling, skiing, and simply meeting the locals, who keep their own special way of going about things.
