Highlights
- Mountainbiking in the Carpathian mountains. Pastures and picturesque villages wait to be explored in the magical forests.
- Travel through Transcarpathia, here, the Ukraine’s ethnic diversity is felt the strongest. Hungarians are the biggest minority and many town signs are bilingual. At the beginning, you cycle through vineyards and gentle hills followed by the Carpathian valleys. In the mountain village Huklyvyj, a pittoresque wooden church from the 18th century can be visited, amongst other things.
Tips
- The streets are mostly car-free, however, the condition and surface aren’t always equivalent to the standards in western and middle Europe.
- Regain your strength after an exhausting cycling tour with traditional dishes such as Salo (salted lard), “borshch”, a soup made out of red beets or “soljanka”, a delicious meat soup.
- Take advantage of the cheap trains in the Ukraine. It’s advisable to book night rides which is comfortable and saves time. Bikes can be transported, however, you should inform yourself precisely beforehand. Most Ukrainian trains don’t have a luggage cart.
