Great, great, great! Unbelievable place! It's pretty hard to go to the top, but it worth it 100%. There is fantastic outlook from the very top of the Hoverla mountain.
2. Probiy Waterfall

Reviewed By gyanfernando - Exeter, United Kingdom
This is a cascade and not a real waterfall in the Carpathians. There are warning signs about not actually getting into the water.
To get to the cascades you have to pass a number of touristy souvenir markets but you can find interesting stuff like handmade soap and real-leather locally made handbags.
There is also a very good restaurant.

Lovely place, surrounded with historical churches and parks. The building itself has a history to it. If you have a local friend who is knowledgeable about the city's history and architecture, like we had, it will be more fun walking around this place, picking a restaurant and savouring the tasty food while soaking into the history of the place.

Reviewed By 771helen - Kiev, Ukraine
If you have 1-2 spare hours, it's a nice place to visit and to make some photos. There are several Bridges close by. The Bridges are quite old (something about 200 years), but still working! You can see trains going on top. The Bridges were built during Austrian time, using eggs to fix them.
9. Pysanka Easter Egg Museum

Reviewed By 70ava - Beijing, China
It is a local symbol in town, and houses an impressive collection of those beautifully and intricately decorated Easter eggs. However, you would expect in such a unique place some English explanation to accompany this complicated age-old art. If you really want to enjoy it, do some Reading in advance of how this magnificently decorated eggs are created.
10. The Holy Resurrection Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 19 reviews
Reviewed By Borys B - Kiev, Ukraine
Worth visit for a while, the Cathedral is nice example of late baroque architecture. Inside, however, it is too clean and fresh to make an impression of antiquity. Well, it is working Cathedral serving local community every day, and can not look as museums do. Pay your attention to ceilings, and better rent professional guide for visit during idle time.
