By and large Ukraine is as flat as a topographically challenged
blin
(pan-
cake), which makes its bumpy bits all the more special. Ukraine's slice of the
Carpathian arc barely reaches over 2000m, but its soothing wooded slopes, rough
stony trails, flower-filled upland pastures and wide, snaking valleys make this
prime hiking, biking and skiing territory. Needless to say, the Carpathians are
home to Ukraine's highest peak, Mt Hoverla, a fairly easy trek from nearby vil-
lages, as well as several ski resorts.
