Excursion programme

Ужанська ДолинаThe excursion «Secrets of the Uzh Valley» - a journey into the heart of Carpathian history

Are you a lover of history, antiquity and breathtaking mountain panoramas? Or do you dream of discovering the little-known, authentic world of the Carpathians?
The excursion «Secrets of the Uzh Valley» is just for you.

This is a journey into a land where time seems to have stood still: ancient wooden churches, the archaic culture of the Boykos and Lemkos, picturesque mountain villages and panoramas that take your breath away.

What you will see during the excursion

The route passes through the Uzh National Nature Park - one of the cleanest and least urbanised regions in the country.

You can expect:

  • ancient wooden churches (UNESCO);
  • an introduction to the unique culture of the Boykos and Lemkos;
  • villages with a history of over 800 years;
  • the defensive structures of the Hungarian Árpád Line from the Second World War;
  • a tasting of mineral water from natural springs;
  • the multi-ethnic cuisine of Zakarpattia.

The programme of the excursion «Secrets of the Uzh Valley»

Departure from Uzhhorod

Transfer to the Velykyi Bereznyi district. Along the way the guide will tell you about the daily life, traditions and history of the Lemkos and Boykos, who have long lived in the valley of the Uzh River.

The village of Kostryno

A visit to a Boyko wooden church - the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God - a unique monument of sacred architecture.

The Árpád Line

Discovering the fortifications of the Hungarian defensive Árpád Line, hidden in the beech forests near the village of Sil.

Lunch

We recommend trying traditional dishes of Zakarpattian cuisine.

The village of Uzhok

The Uzhok Pass (883 m)

A place that for centuries connected peoples and states on both sides of the Carpathians. From the pass there are stunning panoramas of the Carpathian mountains.

The Uzhok railway

One of the most beautiful railway sections in Ukraine, laid back in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Steep climbs, tunnels, tall bridges and fantastic views from the train window.

Return to Uzhhorod

Why choose this excursion

  • a route away from mass tourism;
  • a blend of nature, history and culture;
  • UNESCO heritage sites;
  • perfect for lovers of authenticity;
