Carpathian ethnographic region is divided into three main parts - Precarpathia, Carpathian Mountains and Transcarpathia. For a long period of time, being a part of other countries, Ukrainians preserved their ethnographic culture, although there was some interference with Slovaks, Hungarians and Poles. Inhabitants of mountainous regions of the Carpathians kept the most archaic cultural features, which differ from the culture of woodlands. There are such ethnographic groups in the Carpathian region - lemky, boiky and hutsuly. Lemky inhabit the territory of the both slopes of Beskyd, between San (Sian) and Poprad rivers, in Velykobereznianskyi and Perechynskyi districts. The first memories in written sources about lemky date back to VI century. |

Beskyd ski area is located at the village of Verkhniy Studenyy off the Kiev-Uzhhorod train line. However, access is a bit difficult because the trains no longer stop at Beskyd station. You need to get off at the next stop (Skotarske), walk down to the elektrichka ("electric train") stop on the same line and get on the elektrichka going in the opposite direction (approx. 20 min. after the Kiev-Uzhhorod train passes through) and this time get off at Beskyd. Here you have a one-hour walk over the hill to get to Verkhniy Studenyy. Most mornings horse-drawn sleds will be there to take visitors to the village. An easier way, perhaps, is to take a taxi to Verkhniy Studenyy village from Volovets. Taxi drivers will find you themselves at the train station. It's about a 20 km drive. |

Hutsul villagers are exceptionally friendly and hospitable people. However, as the case anywhere in Ukraine, some discretion is advised when traveling. Travel in groups of 3-4 people for safety. Traveling with a native Ukrainian is best.
Be on the alert for con-artists that are very creative with schemes to get your money. Be especially cautious when exchanging currency. Being gently pick-pocketed is much more likely than being outright mugged.
If you plan to go bike riding on roads, ride defensively, and keep in mind that cars expect you to get out of their way. |
