Region
Bukovyna is a historical region in the southwest of Ukraine. The Dnister River and the Carpathian Mountains bound it from the north, and in the south, it borders Romania. Once a year, one can experience the vibrant celebration of Malanka in the border village of Krasnoilsk. The largest city and cultural centre of the region is Chernivtsi. The prominent building of the Chernivtsi University and the majestic Khotyn Fortress became symbols of the region's tourist attraction.
