Chorna Hora

Chorna Hora rises to 2028 meters within the Ukrainian Carpathians, featuring distinct slopes covered with beech forests and high-altitude meadows.

The mountain gained recognition as a tourist destination in the late 19th century, with the first marked route established in 1880 connecting it to neighboring peaks.

The name translates to Black Mountain, reflecting its connection to the Hutsul people who maintain traditional herding practices in the surrounding valleys.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with the eastern slope containing the primary source of the Prut River.

The mountain serves as a natural border between the Ivano-Frankivsk and Zakarpattia regions while functioning as a watershed between major river systems.
