Zacharovanyi Krai National Park
Zacharovanyi Krai National Nature Park is still very young, but it already holds a confident position among the main objects of the nature reserve fund of Ukraine. It was established in 2009 on the territory of Irshava district of Zakarpattia region with a total area of 6101 hectares to preserve, restore and effectively use typical and unique natural complexes of the Eastern Carpathians, which are of important environmental, aesthetic, scientific, educational, recreational and healthcare importance.
Most of the catchment area of one of the tributaries is located here
the largest river of Transcarpathia, the Tisza river. The Borzhava River, significant areas are occupied by wetlands, the upper sphagnum bog "Black Mud" where rare plants grow: insectivorous sundew, cranberries, broad-leaved fluff, black water vetch and others, preserved beech forests included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, rich biodiversity, significant historical and cultural heritage, unique rocky landscapes of the "Enchanted Valley" formed as a result of water-air erosion, original stone formations up to 100m high. The Enchanted Land lives up to its name: a truly magical place full of positive energy that evokes only warm and pure feelings.
The first time you come to the Enchanted Valley, you will be stunned by the fantastic creations of nature. Huge rocks of the most bizarre shapes are scattered around the tract. A little imagination and you will see the ruins of a castle, pyramids, animal silhouettes, dragon teeth or a human face.
The most popular forms of tourist activities are short-term recreation in summer and skiing in winter. Despite the rather favourable conditions and the presence of interesting natural objects, the organisation of the use of recreational resources in the NNP is at an early stage.
The key elements of tourist infrastructure within the NNP are
The most popular hiking and ecological educational routes are hiking trails. currently, 6 routes with a total length of 36.5 km have been laid out. some of them are radial, i.e. they are not looped. The trails are equipped with resting places, information stands, directional signs, and are marked. Outside the NNP, there are recreational complexes and individual visitor accommodation facilities (private houses, agricultural estates) and gastronomic establishments (private cafes and bars).
