Rakhiv, Mountain city in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine
Rakhiv extends through the Tysa River valley within the Hutsul Alps, containing numerous wooden buildings and mountain paths at 430 meters elevation.
First documented in 1447, Rakhiv developed into a major livestock trading center connecting Galicia with Transylvania, Moldavia, and Hungary during the 17th century.
The city maintains strong Ukrainian traditions with 92% of residents speaking Ukrainian, while Hungarian and Romanian influences reflect in local architecture and customs.
The headquarters of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve provides information about hiking trails and natural attractions throughout the surrounding mountain ranges.
Near the city lies the village of Dilove, marked as the geographical center of Europe according to calculations made by Austro-Hungarian geographers in 1887.
