Mount Hoverla

Mount Hoverla is the highest peak of Ukraine with an altitude of 2,061 m. The mountain rises on the highest mountain range of the Ukrainian Carpathians – the Chornohora range. The top of mount Hoverla looks like a small flat space that gives you a unique opportunity to enjoy the surrounding landscapes. Be aware, that the weather on the top of Hoverla is unpredictable. Even if at the bottom it is sunny and pleasant, on the top it might be raining, windy and cold. What is more, the name “Hoverla” origins from Hungarian and means “snow mountain”, because the top covered with snow for the most of the year.
