Holidays in Verkhovyna
In the south of Ivano-Frankivsk region, which in Ukraine is usually called Prykarpattya, in the very centre of the Great Carpathian Arc, one of the 14 administrative districts of the region is situated. It is called Verkhovyna district. It is special in terms of many characteristics, and primarily because of its geographical location.

The distance from the centre of the district to the regional centre by the shortest way to the North is 125 km. The same distance is to another nearest regional centre, town Chernivtsy.
