Ukrainian Carpathians - Uholka virgin beech forest.avi

Virgin forest of Uholka is located in the central part of Transcarpathia and represents the region's most valuable treasure. It is the most valuable asset of the transnational UNESCO's World Natural Heritage called Primeval beech forests of the Carpathians.Uholka contains roughly half of the about 60 karst caves found in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Uholka's main landmark is the Karst Bridge. The most striking and impresive features of Uholka's virgin forests are the mighty beech trees, the broken-off tree stems covered with fungi and the decaying trunks of fallen trees. About 500 species of vascular plants grow in Uholka and 30 of them are regarded as rare in Ukraine. Uholka's virgin forests provide a paradise for dead-wood insects, woodpeckers and other tree-hole dwellers. Far from the noise of planes and light polution, you can find here many tranquil spots and above all lots of „first-class wilderness".
