Ukrainian Carpathians - Krasna massif

Krasna massif is situated in the heart of Transcarpathia. It includes Polonyna Krasna and Uholsko-Shyrokoluzhanskyi massif. Polonyna Krasna, was the most beautiful mountain pasture of Subcarpathian Ruthenia (nowadays Transcarpathia) during the interwar period. It belongs to the Northeastern Carpathians and its main ridge is about 35 km long. The highest peak of Polonyna Krasna is called Syhlianskyi. The most significant part of Krasna massif is the largest virgin beech forest of Europe with a total area of more than 10 000 ha . Uholka-Shyrokyi Luh virgin beech forest is the most valuable asset of Primeval beech forests of the Carpathians - a transnational UNESCO's World Natural Heritage. Krasna massif is a real hidden treasure and can be proudly considered as the Pearl of the Carpathians.
