Vorokhta is a small town in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains on the Prut River. It is a popular tourist resort.
Town is surrounded by mountains with coniferous and beech forests and in summer it is very nice place for walking.
Wooden church, built in the 18th century, is beautiful example of local architecture.
Mt. Hoverla: This is the tallest mountain of Ukraine, and this is THE town closest to the mountain, despite what maps might say. President Yushchenko climbed the mountain during his successful campaign. Part of his platform was cleaning up Ukraine, and he wanted to clean up the trail on Mt. Hoverla. The trail on Mt. Hoverla is EXTREMELY steep, and it is better to located guide. There is deep snow at the top even in summer. Find a homestay in Vorokhta, there are no real viable hotels. People are friendly and curious, but watch for the occassional two-bit thied - nothing dangerous however. The countryside is beautiful and idyllic. There is skiing in the winter.
