Ethnography treasures
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 resort
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.
