The waterfall flows down numerous picturesque cascades in a narrow, precipitous gorge and is surrounded by steep ledges made of andesitic rock. It is considered, in its own right, as one of the most beautiful in the Carpathians. The high meadow (polonyna – in ukr.) Borzhava, rising over the waterfall, is a traditional grazing land where shepherds spend the summer, cooking in their huts (kolyba) delicious cheeses (brynza and vurda)

Once a border area of three countries, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, it has preserved its authentic and unique characteristics. A true beauty stands up on a hill in the center of the village – the wooden Church of the Holy Spirit. In fact, wooden architecture is one of the Transcarpathian snaps. Three of Kolchava’s museums – “The Narrow-Gauge Railroad”, an open air museum “The Old Village”, and “The Old School” complex – are recognized as one of the best museums in Ukraine. The original museum exhibits accurately reflect the villagers’ lifestyle.

Next, if our trip is in May, we will take a massive amount of photos in the Narcissus Valley – a national park where infinite numbers of wild narcissus flowers grow.

We will make a stop virtually in every village to look around the wooden temples, all of which are unique in their own way. Beregovo will meet us as the most welcome guests.

It rises up to the top of a mountain which stands alone, and you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views in every direction from its terraces. One of the peculiarities of the castle is a temple where a wedding ceremony can be conducted for followers of any religion so that it attracts a lot of couples.
