CARPATHIAN NATIONAL NATURE PARK &
AROUND
This is Ukraine's largest national park and the heart of the Carpathians. However, it's a
very different sort of national park - industrial logging occurs here, for example. Only
about a quarter of the area is completely protected, but that hasn't detracted too much
from the natural beauty of the place…yet.
