Two Ukrainian villages were included in the rating of the best tourist villages by the United Nations. Both are located in Transcarpathia.

About this informs World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

This year’s list includes 52 villages from different regions of the world – Africa, Central and South America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. They were chosen from among more than 270 applications submitted by 65 countries.

The rating included two Ukrainian villages – Kolochava and Synevyrska Polyana, located in Transcarpathia.

Kolochava is located in Khust district, on the territory of the Synevyr National Nature Park. It lies in a mountain valley between the Strymba, Darvaika, Barvinok, Krasna and Ruzha meadows.

The village has ten museums and five churches, two of which date back to the end of the 18th century.

Synevyrska Polyana is also located in the Khust district, not far from the largest lake of the Ukrainian Carpathians – Synevyr. The village has two temples and an eco-park with wolves, tigers, lions and ungulates.
