Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast

The Oblast extends across 13,900 square kilometers of land, encompassing parts of the Carpathian Mountains with elevations reaching 2,061 meters above sea level.

The territory changed governance multiple times, from the Kingdom of Galicia through Polish rule until 1939, when it became part of the Soviet Union.

The region maintains 456 nature preservation areas, including the Gorgany Nature Reserve and five national parks that protect local plant and animal species.

The transportation network includes European route E50, connecting major cities through a system of national highways and regional roads across the territory.

The territory contains numerous rivers and waterfalls but lacks large lakes, creating a distinctive hydrological system within the Carpathian Mountain region.
