Hoverla (in Romanian, “Howarla” means “insurmountable height”) is the highest mountain and the highest point in Ukraine (2,061 m above sea level). It is located on the border of Zakarpattia Oblast and Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, approximately 17 km from the Ukrainian border with Romania.

It’s a popular destination for summer and winter tourism. The first hiking route up the mountain was opened in 1880. In the north, you can see the cities of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast: Ivano-Frankivsk, Kolomyia, and Snyatin. Mount Hoverla on Google Maps. Photos by: Alexey Medvedev.
