Much of Ukraine's wildlife can be found in specific plant zones. The forest zone is home to red deer, elk, roe deer, squirrel, wild boar, foxes and wolves as well as brown bears and lynx. Bird life in the forested areas includes cranes, black cock, wood grouse, starling and blue titmouse. In the steppe zone you will discover ground squirrels, marmots, jerboas, hamsters and field mice.

Mountains

Making up some 5% of Ukraine's land are the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Crimean Mountains in the South. Ukraine's mountain ranges create a wonderful habitat for a variety of fauna and flora, ideal forecotourism. The highest mountain in Ukraine is Mount Hoverla, part of the Carpathian range, measuring some 2061m high.

The Carpathian Mountains form a 1 500 km curve, cutting through Ukraine, Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia. Of a medium height, the Ukrainian Carpathians feature small ridges and valleys as well as deep valleys with steep slopes. Many rivers originate in the Carpathian Mountains. Dniester River has many tributaries flowing through the Ukrainian Carpathians. Winter temperatures in Ukraine's Carpathian Mountains tend not become colder than -10 to -1°C. This range receives around 800 to 1 600 mm of precipitation. Summer is warm and has many thunderstorms. Flash floods often occur during spring and summer. Due to the lovely climate and mineral springs, the Ukrainian Carpathians attract many visitors. Mount Hoverla of the Carpathian Mountains is situated in the Eastern Beskides. Along its slopes, beech and spruce forests have sprung up. Further up is a sub-alpine meadow belt. The Prut River originates on this great mountain.

Health Spas

There are a few Ukrainian health spas worth considering if you are planning a trip to this wonderful country. A mixture of traditional natural treatments with modern scientific knowledge, the few sanatoriums or health spa resorts available in Ukraine provide great service at even better prices.

The two most popular Ukraine health spas are Morshyn and Truskavets. Morshyn is a regional health spa and the focus is warm and friendly personalized attention. Staff can speak both Ukrainian and Russian and facilities may be seen as being somewhat old. Truskaets is larger and has a more international flavor, but its prices are somewhat higher than those charged by Morshyn. Both Ukrainian spas offermud baths, natural springs, specialized diets, physical exercise, massages, Jacuzzis, etc. When converted and compared to local spas, visitors usually find that Ukraine's spas are very reasonable and affordable. To add to this, the staff numbers are quite large, so you will be able to enjoy great personal attention. You may find that you will need an invite to be able to enjoy the services of a Ukrainian spa, but these are easy enough to obtain. Simply write to one of the spas and you will soon have an invitation to enjoy the many relaxing luxuries that these spas have to offer.

It is wise to remember that Ukraine is still recovering from difficult political and financial times. Privatization is slow and funding is scarce. While this may mean you’ll pay far less at a Ukrainian health spa than you would at home, it also means that the facilities may seem to be a little rundown. However, you can be sure that looks are deceptive and that while the spas may not be shining and bright, their services are definitely worth more than gold.

Castles

Ukraine is a place of culture, history and natural beauty. For centuries the people who lived here worked to create masterful homes and residences that complemented the beauty around them and reflected the culture of their people. By and large they were very successful in this regard and as a result there are many beautiful castles and palaces in Ukraine today. Generally speaking the castles in Ukraine have a robust appearance, since their primary purpose was one of defense. They may have doubled as a prison during the course of their history and they are usually situated on a hill of some sort. Over time, however, more elaborate and decorative additions have been made to some of these fortresses and this has given them a legacy worth taking note of. Many have been turned into museums that now give the public insight into a bygone era in a most imaginative and creative way. The palaces in Ukraine are mainly royal residences which, while providing adequate protection for the monarchy, have also been designed to ensure that those who live here do so in comfort and luxury. Architectural embellishments may be lavish and expensive and it isn’t uncommon to find gold-plated arches, gold-tinted artwork and solid gold furniture and utensils decorated with jewels in these dwellings. These expensive adornments also tend to reflect the masterful craftsmanship that was popular during a given era of Ukraine’s history; they not only make a journey through such an establishment enchanting, but also provide insight into the way that these nobles lived in days gone by. There are a number of palaces and castles in Ukraine which are worth seeing. The Livadia Palace and Mariyinsky Palace are popular. For those who prefer castles, the Olesko Castle, the Kodak Fortress and the Lviv High Castle certainly aren’t a waste of time. Of course there are many more castles and palaces worth seeing which haven’t been mentioned here.
