Closed to foreigners for most of the cold war, the “Ukrainian Switzerland,”
is a region of mountains, rivers, villages and castles. Get the most out
of your trip, even before you leave home! Learn about the amazing history
and unique architecture of this region ruled previously by Hungary, the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. The book
contains hundreds of full-color photos and illustrations, as well as,
city maps. Each chapter helps guide you along the many hidden pearls of
Transcarpathia: from the city of Uzhgorod to Rakhiv (the geographical
center of Europe). Each chapter starts with the history of each city and
then offers excursions and walking/driving tours. The guidebook not only
recommends standard hotels, but private farms, where one can also stay
and enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains.
