Tour programme
Representatives of the “Pro Karpaty” company meet the tourists at the railway station in Ivano-Frankivsk.
We suggest starting your journey with an aromatic coffee to give you a boost for the tour in this ethnic city of the Prykarpattia region.
A tour of the historic centre of Ivano-Frankivsk - a stunning city with a “European face”, rightly considered the cultural centre of the west and one of the most beautiful cities in Ukraine. It is a pleasure to be here at any time of year!
Lunch during the excursion.
Transfer to Yaremche
A walk around Yaremche - the best-known climatic resort. You will have a splendid chance to visit one of the largest and most popular souvenir markets and buy handmade souvenirs (woollen socks, a traditional embroidered vyshyvanka, clay ware and much more in the ethnic style).
Make a wish in Yaremche? Easily done! The throne of wishes awaits you.
A walk to the waterfall, which impresses with the sheer force of its rushing water. Beside it you can feel powerful energy and, at the same time, calm and serenity. This is a place to breathe in the scents of the Carpathian forests.
Arrival in the village of Verkhovyna and check-in at a traditional Hutsul homestead.
A Hutsul wedding ceremony with Hutsul musicians, dances and songs, the wedding rite and a festive banquet; the guests (that is, you) are met by the young couple with music, the breaking of the kalach loaf and a treat of kalach with honey. Dinner is included in the price of the Hutsul wedding (Hutsul cabbage rolls, varenyky with vurda (highland cheese), boiled potatoes, banosh with huslianka and uzvar), and plenty of Hutsul costume. The entertainment lasts approximately 2.5 hours.
Breakfast
A tour of Verkhovyna - the capital of Hutsul culture. In this cosy place you get a feeling of freedom and delight; this is where age-old traditions and rites have been preserved. A climb to the mountain top, from where picturesque views open over the Carpathians, already dressed in their autumn colours.
A visit to the museum of Hutsul life and art “U trembitaria” - here are gathered old objects that were once an inseparable part of the Hutsuls' mountain life. Here you can touch history, feel the Hutsul colour and fall in love with the Hutsul land.
The collection was assembled over 30 years and includes household items, ancient Hutsul dress, tools, banknotes from various periods and much else that gives an idea of Hutsul life. The collection of musical instruments deserves particular attention, namely: violins, cymbaloms, the koza bagpipe, drymbas, trembitas, horns and others.
