Yaremche: Getting Away with Nature in Western Ukraine
Serving as the headquarters for the Carpathian National Nature Park, Yaremche, Ukraine is found at an elevation of 1,900 feet above sea level. While it was established back in 1787, it gained popularity between 1918 and 1939 as a famous tourist spot when it was a city of Poland.
Best Time to Visit
Yaremche is situated in a region where half of the year is cold, and the remaining half has pleasant weather. Winter enthusiasts would be glad to hear that the town is almost deserted by the winter season as tourists prefer to visit the city during the fall. Aside from taking advantage of the discounted Yaremche, Ukraine hotels, this is also the time of year when the Winter Romantic Fest is hosted in the town. The community event is held in January, when temperatures can reach around 40.7°F and 29.5°F.
What to Do & Area Attractions
The city center of Yaremche is only an 18-minute drive away from the Probiy Waterfall. Standing at the height of 26 feet, it is considered among the most powerful waterfalls in the mountains of Carpathians. If you’re staying at Yaremche for the night and want the convenience of airport transfers, two of the highly recommended hotels in the area are the Hotel Sofia and Baron SPA Hotel Yaremche.
