Top picturesque rocks of Ivano-Frankivsk region worth seeing at least once

Most of the territory of our country is covered with fields, meadows and steppes. But why Ukrainians often travel abroad to admire majestic natural areas - fjords, waterfalls, and caves - when we have all this? And even more. Thus, sit back and relax. Today we're going to tell you about the incredible spots the nature has been created for several centuries.

Hungarian rocks

They are located in the village of Zelene, Verkhovyna district. To the west of Mount Skupova is a group of vertical stone giants. They form a whole massif surrounded by a spruce forest. This is one of the least explored megalithic complexes in the Carpathians. That's why tourists rarely come here.

By the way, all the formations are located at different distances, and there are no route markings. Thus, we advise you to follow the map.

It is said that the top of one rock looks like a human head.

The distance from the Krynta meadow is about 16 kilometers.

We also recommend visiting the Vaselyna Yanushevska Vyshyvanka Museum. It houses towels, pillows, paintings, traditional clothes, books, etc.

There are several overnight accommodations in the village. In particular, the Berda, Vasyl Ivanovych, and Hutsul manors.

Zamchyshche rock

It is located near the village of Novoselytsia and the river Svicha. It is also a part of the Osiy Nature Reserve. The peak is characterized by steep slopes that stretch to the reservoir. From here you can admire the surroundings.

Be sure to visit the Vyhoda Narrow Gauge Railway Heritage Center. It was set up in the former residence of Leopold Popper-Podhragy. Here travelers will get acquainted with the peculiarities of the region and the ecosystem of the Carpathians. Tourists will learn about the woodworking industry and the work of the railroad. By the way, a rare steam locomotive is kept here.

You can also buy a variety of souvenirs here: children's toys, dishes, magnets, clothes, etc.

The choice of accommodation here is small. There is only one hotel in the village - Ortus. However, you can go to the neighboring locations: Mala Turia or Dolyna.

Darvaiv rocks

They are located near the village of Kropyvnyk. The stone giants form a chaotic massif. A crystal clear stream flows between the boulders. It flows into the Putna River. By the way, here tourists can admire the cascade of waterfalls of the same name. It stretches for more than 300 meters.

Another 20 kilometers away is the Shyrkovets Swamp Hydrological Natural Monument. Its territory covers an area of 12 hectares. It is said that the center was formed during the Ice Age. Rare small-fruited cranberries grow here. It is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. Special walking trails have been laid for travelers. The Carpathian tram also runs here. The route starts from Vyhoda and ends in the town of Senechiv.

Accommodation can be found in Staryi Mizun: the Vendyshir Apartments or the Raishtok Manor.

Dovbush rocks

They are located near the village of Bubnyshcha on the territory of the Polianytsia Regional Park. The natural attraction lies at an altitude of 668 meters above sea level. It was formed more than 70 million years ago. According to a legend, in the XVII-XVIII centuries, these boulders served as a safe haven for famous opryshky.

There is a legend about an attack by the Mongol-Tatar horde. The Prykarpattia people fought heroically against the enemy, although they were in the minority. When hope faded, a young Boikos girl asked a rock to hide her. It was at that moment that stones fell on the attackers, and they retreated. When the battle was over, the young woman climbed the mountain. If she saw danger, she would beat a tambourine and warn people.

We also recommend going to the Polianytsia waterfall. The path to the rocks often starts from here.

By the way, special camping sites have been set up in the village. You can stay overnight at the hotel of the same name too.

Feel the greatness and power of nature! Hurry up and go on a trip to Ivano-Frankivsk region!
