Description of tourist objects:

Town Kolomiya is  one of the most interesting towns in Western Ukraine. It is called the capital of the Hutsul and Pokuttya tribal communities. It is compared with the bird-Phoenix, because each time after Mongol invasion (5 times it was utterly destroyed) was restored, becoming stronger and more attractive. In the times of the Austrian-Hungarian empire, Kolomiya was the center of cultural life in Western Ukraine. And nowadays it has everything to be proud of giving us the opportunity to explore the historical past. The museums of this town are among the best in Ukraine.

Museum of Pysanka in Kolomiya

In 2000 in Kolomyia the 10th international Hutsul festival "Kolomyika-2000" was conducted. Due to this occasion the first and the only Pysanka Museum in the world was created. The author of the project is Igor Shuman. The central part of the building is performed in the form of an egg in proportion of 1 to 200. The building is about 13 meters high. The collection of the museum has 12,000 eggs. The first floor of the museum is decorated with variable exposures. In his lobby there is a sculpture of the Mother of God with a child. The main museum exposition is located on the second floor. Here the most characteristic Easter eggs from all regions of Ukraine are collected. The museum's contacts with other countries are demonstrated by an exposition containing Easter eggs from Canada, France, China and the USA. One of the halls contains samples of clothing, jewelry and parts of the Hutsul house. In 1 year, the museum is visited by more than 100 thousand people.

Yaremche town is called the "pearl of the Carpathians". It sits on the pristine Prut river and nearby you will see the magnificent waterfall Probiy. We’ll take a look at the magnificent outcrop of massive sandstone boulders. For those interested in the last tribal culture of Europe, you will be intrigued by the Museum of ethnography and ecology of the Carpathians. Mountain names surrounding Yaremche from the south and south-west - Yavirnyk spine, from the west - Schyvka, Chornohorytsya, Synyachka, and the east - Makovytsya. Dora village (on the outskirts of Yaremche) is called the Carpathians “doors” with Prut river commencing between two mountain peaks – Makovytsia and Chornohorytsia. This town is a unique Hutsul capital, a Jerusalem for the Hutsul people. In Dora, which has about three thousand inhabitants, there are some unique and ornate churches.
