Travels in an “eco” style – by Ukrainian paths

The Ukrainian Carpathians are the ideal place for the travels in an “eco” style: find your own edelweiss flower, see the sunrise high in the mountains, take a rest with a fishing tackle near a quite lake, and also enjoy the silence of the rural area to the fullest and have a look at the traditions and folk crafts.

A small mountain village Lumshory is one of the picturesque places of the Ukrainian Carpathians. And this is because of the unique baths originated from the remote past. They look like a wooden house without the roof, where there is a big cast-iron water tank in the middle, full brimmed with the mineral water. The water is warmed up on the open fire. As soon as you are in a water tank, the bath owner enthusiastically begins to add the brushwood into the fire. If you begin to feel that it is too hot, run very fast to the fresh mountain stream to cool the blood.
