Chornohora is the highest mountain range in the Ukrainian Carpathians located on the border of Zakarpattia Oblast and Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.

It is especially beautiful here when the slopes of the mountain range are covered with blooming rhododendrons. Chornohora on Google Maps. Photos by: Alexander Kotenko.
