Yasinya
Yasinya is famous for its wooden architectural monuments, folk and artistic creativity, folk craftsmen of wood carving, leather and wool processing, original Hutsul weaving and embroidery, folk composers and artists, etc. The songs, kolomyikas and dances of Yasinya residents are listened to and watched not only in Ukraine but also abroad.
The national cuisine is characteristic for the population of the village. The neighborhood of the village is surrounded by forests, high mountains and meadows, where herds of cows and sheep graze in summer.
The snow lasts until the end of May, which allows skiers to rest for more than six months. In winter, there are ski lifts and well-equipped trails, and in summer, mushrooms, berries, healing air, and mineral springs are at your disposal. The forests are rich in flora and fauna. All this makes your vacation here unforgettable.
In winter, there is no place for an apple to fall in Yasinia: the village is the closest settlement to the highest ski resort in Ukraine, Dragobrat. In addition to moderately priced housing, people come here for the Hutsul flavor and easy access to the routes to Petros and Hoverla. Yasinia has enough ski equipment rental shops to meet any requirement, whether it is quality or budget.
There are medical centers, grocery stores, and everything you need to satisfy any whim: billiards, saunas, baths, and even Hutsul vats, a unique water treatment. The vats are open-air, heated from below, and can accommodate from 2 to 6 people. They offer bathing in pure spring water, heated enough to take baths in the open air in winter.
The Hutsul tub is not just entertainment. It has a healing effect: it strengthens the immune system, improves the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system, stimulates the thyroid gland, and restores skin elasticity.
The Strukivska church in Yasinia is considered one of the best wooden churches in Western Ukraine, a perfect example of the Hutsul tradition of building from wood. By the way, it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
On the road from Yasinia to Kvasy, you can reach Trufanets Waterfall in a few minutes - a 5-cascade beauty 36 meters high roars right next to the road. There is a gazebo built over the stream where you can relax in the shade and admire the falling water.
