Region
A historical region in the southwest of Ukraine. From the north, it is bounded by the Dnister river and the Carpathian Mountains, and in the south, it borders Romania. Once a year, one can experience the vibrant celebration of Malanka in the border village of Krasnoilsk, and also try to cross the Dnister by ferry. The prominent building of the Chernivtsi University and the majestic Khotyn Fortress became symbols of the region's tourist attraction. The main city and cultural centre of the region is Chernivtsi.
