Yaremche Travel Guide

Yaremche is a town of about 8,800 located in western Ukraine's Ivano-Frankivsk oblast.  It lies next to the Carpathian Mountains, at the entrance of the Carpathian National Park, so Yaremche serves as a Carpathian tourist base for the region. The Prut river flows through the area and falls through a scenic gorge that is visited by many tourists. Locals sell a variety of crafts, souvenirs and artwork in an open air market by the falls. There are trails that lead out of Yaremche for those wanting to explore the cliffs, valleys, and peaks nearby. One path takes you to the Dovbush Rocks. Excursions to Bukovel (40 km away) are possible by either bus (4 hyrvnia single) or taxi (120-200 hyrvnia return for car).
