Where are the Carpathian Mountains located on the physical map. Where are the Carpathians? Carpathian Mountains: how to get to the highest peaks of Ukraine

The Carpathian Mountains are spread over the territory of Eastern Europe and... the Moon. Yes, the mountain range with that name stretches along the southern “coast” of the lunar Sea of ​​Rains. Perhaps in the near future tourist groups will be sent there. However, at present, only the terrestrial Carpathians are of interest to us.

The mountain system begins near the Slovak capital of Bratislava and ends near the Romanian city of Orsov. In a satellite image, the Carpathian Mountains resemble a writhing snake. Its head “bites” the Alps, and its tail is lowered into the Black Sea. It seems that the Carpathians arose as a result of some kind of vortex process like an atmospheric cyclone.

A narrow mountain chain crosses the territory of several countries in Eastern Europe. Austria, Hungary, Serbia and the Czech Republic own only tiny pieces of it. Poland and Ukraine suffered much more. The largest pieces of the mountain pie are owned by Slovakia and Romania. In the latter, mountains occupy a significant part of the territory.

Scientists are still debating the name of the mountains. It is curious that in almost all the languages ​​of the peoples inhabiting the above countries, the word “Carpathians” sounds almost the same. In some cases it literally means "mountain" or "stone wall". There is also a version that the “Carpathians” came from the tribe of carps that inhabited these places in the 1st century AD. At the same time, linguists cannot explain why this people acquired this particular name.

It should be borne in mind that the Eastern Carpathians are considered an earthquake-prone region. Very strong earthquakes have happened here. In Romania there is the so-called Vrancea seismic zone. The strength of the tremors in it reached 8.3 points on the Richter scale. Their echoes were recorded even in Finland. The disaster was most severe in 1940 and 1977. Then Bucharest suffered greatly. However, in comparison with Japan, where earthquakes occur almost daily, the Carpathians seem to be an island of complete stability.

Between the Alps and the Black Sea

Southern Carpathians in late autumn

Despite its relatively modest size, the Carpathians have a complex structure. In the western part there are the Outer and Inner Western Carpathians. They are divided into 12 regions. And those, in turn, are in 60 mountainous regions! Perhaps the most famous of them are the Czech Tatras. Next come the Outer and Inner Eastern Carpathians. There are fewer mountainous areas here - only about a dozen. They are adjacent to the Western Romanian, Southern, Serbian Carpathians and the Transylvanian Plateau. To simplify, the Carpathians are conventionally divided into Western, Eastern and Southern.

On a physical-geographical map, the mountain system looks like a thin strip. With a total length of the mountains of 1500 km, their width ranges from 100 to 340 km. The narrowest part is in Ukraine, and the widest is in Romania. The highest peak is Mount Gerlachovský Štit in Slovakia. Its height reaches 2654 m. The Carpathians are separated from the Alps by a narrow gap of only 14 km wide!

Only here

There is a whole collection of caves in the Lower Tatras

To get an idea of ​​the most interesting places in the Carpathians, we will take a virtual trip through the mountainous country. Let's start from the western part, then move to the east, and from there we go down to the south. The natural border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia is the so-called White Carpathians. The reserve of the same name is located here, which is spread over the territory of two countries. Several types of orchids are found in these places! But there is a stereotype that these delicate flowers are exclusively inhabitants of the tropics.

In Slovakia there is the Sarisska Vrhovina mountain range. It is famous for its Lacnov Canyon with an unusual rock called the “Moses Pillar”. And the name “Slovak Paradise” speaks for itself. I can't think of a better place for adventure lovers. Caves, abysses, canyons and waterfalls attract them like a magnet. In addition to natural objects, these places have interesting man-made attractions. For example, people go to the Slovak Muranska Planina mountains to see the ruins of the ancient Muransk castle.

The High Tatras in Poland are truly large - it is here that one of the highest points of the Carpathians is located. Tourists are attracted here by a very beautiful lake called Morskoye Oko. Situated in an oval-shaped valley, it actually resembles a huge eye. The largest Polish waterfall, called Siklawa, is no less picturesque. The water falls here from a height of 70 m.

The Low Tatras are famous for their panoramic points, the role of which is played by the peaks of Kraljeva Golja, Habenec and Dereshe. In this area, the Demanovska valley with its caves is considered the most beautiful. It should be noted that in the local mountains there is a whole collection of all kinds of caves. One of them is called "Cave of Dead Bats". There are many centers scattered along the mountain valleys and slopes, where tourist routes begin.

In Hungary there is the Mátra mountain range. People come here to relax at the thermal springs and ski. Vineyards lie at the foot of the mountains, so the region is famous for its wineries. The Börzen massif is popular among tourists. Its heritage is considered to be the Duna-Ipoi National Park with a large number of springs, winding rivulets and turbulent streams.

Gorgany means “stone scree”. The mountain range in the Ukrainian Carpathians has the same name. These places have long been chosen by extreme sports enthusiasts, since the area is replete with wild tourist routes. Local hits are considered to be the Manyavsky waterfall and the mountain lake Synevyr, which is located on the territory of the national park of the same name.

Peles Castle in the mountains of Romania

The Southern Carpathians are also called the Transylvanian Alps. This entire beautiful mountainous country fits entirely within the territory of Romania. The highest point is Mount Moldoveanu (2544 m). Most of the country's ski resorts are located here. Don't forget that Romania is a country of castles. It’s worth coming here to see with your own eyes the royal castle “Pelesh” in Sinaia and Dracula’s castle in the town of Bran.

Climbers and rock climbers travel to Romanian Muntenia. The Unirya salt mine, which is currently a museum and balneological resort, is very spectacular. And the landscapes in Pyklele Mary look alien. Here, on an area of ​​30 hectares, mud volcanoes gurgle and spit slurry.

There are also places for rafting enthusiasts. For example, the Jiu River Gorge in Oltenia is one of the most popular rafting routes in Romania. The Danube is usually associated with a calm current. However, in the Kazana Gorge the water literally boils due to the narrowness of the canyon. This spectacle is worth seeing with your own eyes.

The mountain lake Glaz Beya, located in the historical region of Banat, does not freeze even in winter, so during this period many migratory birds gather on its shores. Together with them come those who like to observe the life of birds. The lake is worth a visit just to admire the beautiful scenery and take spectacular photos.

There are places for rafting lovers in the Romanian Carpathians

And, of course, one cannot fail to mention Romanian Transylvania. The local reserve, located in the town of Zarnesti, is home to about a hundred bears rescued from captivity. Excursions around the reserve are organized for tourists. It is also worth seeing the fantastic stone columns in the Apuseni mountains, formed when basalt lava solidified. And at the former Turda salt mine, those interested can rent a boat and take a ride on the luxurious underground lake.

Nuances of the Carpathian weather

There is snow in the mountains from December to March. At other times, you can safely go hiking

Since the Carpathian Mountains occupy a large area and are characterized by different altitudes, weather conditions can vary significantly even in the same area. The higher you go, the colder it gets. The further south you go, the warmer it is. In mountain valleys there may not be snow even in winter. The further from the Black Sea, the more continental the climate. Despite such a variety of conditions, there are nevertheless some climatic patterns.

The coldest month is January. The average temperature in the north and east of the Carpathians fluctuates around -50C, in the south – about -30C. However, at the tops of the mountains it can be colder - up to -100C. By Russian standards, such temperatures are not considered frost. The average July temperature in the foothills in the north is +180C, in the south +200C. High in the mountains, even at the height of summer, the temperature can be no higher than +50C. In general, the temperature regime in the Carpathians is favorable all year round.

If we talk about precipitation, the least of it falls in the east and south of the Carpathians (800 mm per year). In the Western and Romanian Carpathians their number increases to 1000 mm. In high mountain areas this figure increases by 1.5-2 times. Maximum precipitation occurs in summer. Most often it rains. The duration of snow cover in the foothills is 2-3 months. There are no glaciers or eternal snow in these places.

The moral is simple. The ski season in the Carpathians usually begins in December and ends in March. They ride at altitudes from 1000 m. This means that the rest of the year is quite suitable for hiking. At altitudes up to 1000 meters this can be done in winter. But for high mountain routes you will need warm clothes even in summer.

If you want to avoid rain, it is better to go hiking in spring or autumn. True, even in summer the risk of getting wet increases only in high mountain areas. If the route passes through the foothills or slopes at low altitudes, there is no need to worry about rain. It is enough to stock up on a raincoat and a waterproof tent.

Hiking hits

Now let’s get acquainted with popular tourist routes in those countries in which the Carpathians are located:

Czech

There are up to a thousand caves in the Moravian Karst

The Krkonose Mountains are very popular in the Czech Republic. They are located on the border with Poland. Here the most popular route is the climb to Mount Snezka (1603 m).

The transparency of the water in the lakes reaches 12 m. The so-called Mengus Valley stretches between the ridges. There are tourists here in any season. At the end of the valley lies the Velke Gintsovo Pleso lake. It is considered the deepest in the Tatras.

The ski season in the Carpathians lasts from December to March. Ski areas are located at altitudes from 800 to 2400 m. Many resorts use artificial snow, so the season can increase significantly.

The ski resort Bila is located in the Czech Carpathians. The trails are laid on the slopes of the Zbojnicka and Javorina mountains, which are part of the Beskydy massif. The resort has been operating since 1965. It is located at an altitude of 518 m. The length of the slopes is from 700 to 1000 m.

Near Carpathians

Mountain village

The good thing about the Ukrainian Carpathians is that they are closer than others, and you don’t need a visa to visit them. The eastern tip of a large European mountainous country is spread over the territory of four regions - Transcarpathian, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Chernivtsi.

The length of the Ukrainian Carpathian section is 280 m, and the width is about a hundred kilometers. On average, the mountains are low - about 900-1000 m, but there are peaks over 2000 m. These include, for example, Goverla (2061 m). It is considered the highest point of the country.

The Carpathians united more than a dozen ski resorts - Zakhar Berkut, Zhdenievo, Krasiya, Slavskoe, Pylypets and others. All of them are located in picturesque places and away from large populated areas. The Bukovel resort is considered the calling card of the local Carpathians. The ski season here lasts from November to mid-April. They only ski more at Dragobrat, where sometimes the season ends in mid-May.

You can find many natural masterpieces in the mountains. These, for example, include Mount Makovitsa (984.5 m) in the vicinity of the city of Yaremche. The huge scree on its slope looks like a giant elephant coming to drink. It is often called “Elephant Mountain”. You can take a break on the banks of the Prut River. This route cannot be called a hike. It's more of an easy walk.

There is an interesting route to the place where the Princess meteorite fell. This event took place in 1866. Scientists estimated the weight of the space guest at 280 kg. They say that small fragments can still be found today. The Chernye Mlaki tract, where the cosmic catastrophe occurred, can be reached from the villages of Knyaginya or Stuzhitsa. The trail goes past mineral springs and oak trees, whose age has exceeded a thousand years. The total length of the route is 14 km.

Another route allows you to walk along the bottom of the ancient sea! Once upon a time, the Carpathians were truly under water. There is a marked trail from the village of Verkhovyna-Bystraya in the Transcarpathian region to Mount Plishka. It overlooks the Uzhansky National Natural Park. In 1968, in these places they found the fossilized skeleton of a fish that swam here about 36 million years ago. Similar finds can be seen in the Transcarpathian Museum of Local Lore in the Uzhgorod Castle.

What a trip without a true friend!

The Ukrainian Carpathians are well developed in terms of tourism, so there are dozens of interesting routes. There are hikes to the mountains “High Stone”, “Parashka”, “Pikuy”, “Spitz”, “Khomyak”, “Gemba” and others. A special route is dedicated to two-thousand-meter mountains – there are six of them in Ukraine.

The Gorgan Mountains are highlighted as a separate item. There is a combined option called “Five Carpathian Passes”. He walks along the Verkhovinsky ridge. There are routes along the Marmaros massif, the Svidovets ridge, to the “Russian Way” pass - you can’t list everything. One thing is clear - you won’t get away with two days in the Carpathians. You need to come here for at least a week. Or better yet, two.

One of the most attractive types of recreation, in terms of its availability, is vacation in Ukraine. Only, if the Crimean peninsula is already familiar to almost everyone, then the Carpathians are an unexplored region. Not only tourists from abroad, but most of our compatriots cannot even imagine what the Carpathians are.

Carpathians on the map

Relaxing in the Carpathians in winter means, first of all, skiing. The most prestigious and popular resort is Bukovel. Every ski lover will find something to suit their taste.

The silence of the mountains, fresh air, and tranquility will help you improve your health and get a boost of energy for the whole year.

The Carpathian Mountains are a whole country in Central Europe. The area of ​​the array is 188 thousand square meters. meters, which is 4 times larger than Slovakia, 2 times larger than Hungary and is approximately half the territory of Poland. The countries where the Carpathian Mountains are located are Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Austria, Serbia. The highest point of the Carpathians is Gerlachovsky Štit (2654), located on the High Tatras ridge in Slovenia.

The closest to Central Russia are the Ukrainian Carpathians or, as they are also called, the Hutsul region (after the people inhabiting them - the Hutsuls), a piece of the internal and external Eastern Carpathians. Despite the fact that these lands seem fabulous and very distant to many of us, you can get to them from Moscow or St. Petersburg by train or bus in a little more than a day.

The Ukrainian Carpathians are amazing in different ways in winter and summer. With unusually picturesque nature, which changes as the journey progresses. The surrounding landscape is greatly influenced by the height gained: the Carpathian mountains are sometimes buried in the mighty pines and spruces of dense forests, sometimes they are replaced by impassable slannik on steep meadows (alpine meadows) or dangerous loose slopes and rocks.

Carpathian Mountains: how to get to the highest peaks of Ukraine

The highest peak of the Ukrainian Carpathians, Hoverla (2061), grew on the Chornohora ridge; Mount Petros (2020), standing separately next to it, is the third highest.

In order to get as close as possible to them, you need to get to the villages of Kozmeschik, Yasinya or the Rakhiv railway station, where the Carpathian Mountains are located. Buses go to the first two from Ivano-Frankivsk quite often. The third starting point of the route can be reached from Lviv by diesel train, but since it runs rarely, this route is less preferable.

From Kozmeschik you can climb Petros and Hoverla, as well as go to the Montenegrin ridge. From Yasin it is more convenient to go to Petros, as well as to make a circular hike along the Svidovets ridge, the highest point of which is Mount Bliznitsa (1881). The mountains of this range, although inferior in height to Montenegrin, are no less beautiful. You can build your trip to the Carpathians on this.

Winter on the Carpathian peaks is very harsh; their icy and avalanche-prone slopes do not allow long traverses of the ridges. Hiking along the passes is preferable. One of the most suitable and interesting for ski tourism in the Carpathian Mountains is the Svidovets ridge: snow, frost, spruce trees wrapped in frost and bare peaks sparkling in the winter sun.

Useful articles:

One of the options for both winter and summer travel to these places is a separate mountaineering ascent to the main peaks. It makes sense to set up a base camp at the Edelweiss camp site, in the village. Yasinya is the capital of the Hutsul region, founded in 1583.

From here you can go to all the highest points of the Ukrainian Carpathians. From Yasin you need to walk along the road to the village of Kvasy (famous for its mineral springs). Then follow the forest road up the Kevele River to the bridge on its other bank and further up through the Menchul valley to the peak of Petrosul (1848), and from there to the peak of Petros (2020).

Hiking to the Carpathians: along the Montenegrin ridge

Now the entire Montenegrin ridge is next in line. First, carefully study the Ukrainian Carpathians on the ground; the mountains on the map, at first glance, look “homely”, because the highest of them, Hoverla, has slightly exceeded 2000 m.

However, going to their peaks in rainy weather is very dangerous; strong thunderstorms rage here, and there have been cases when travelers were killed by lightning.

Hoverla Peak

Start with the main, dominant peak - Goverla (2061). Carefully slide down the very steep descent to the saddle to Skopeska Pass (1615). Here you can camp for the night. Next, the trail leads through a hillock and a checkpoint (15 hryvnia for a pass to the Ukraine, Carpathian Mountains National Park) to the Khlozeshchinzha pass. From here the climb to Hoverla begins. From its top you can go down to the north and finish the hike in Kozmeschik, or to the south, where you can continue the hike into the Carpathians.

Here tourists will find the most beautiful peaks of the Montenegrin ridge: Breskul (1950), Pozhizhevskaya (1822), Dancin (1855), Turkul (1933), Rebra, Munchel, Dzembranya, Montenegrin Pop Ivan (2028) aka Black Mountain. The latter got its name due to a cartographic error, but its real name is Popivan (in Hutsul - wind). But there is also a legend that claims that this name is not accidental. Like, the rocks at the top of this mountain look like a priest in a cassock. Although this, of course, is a matter of everyone’s personal imagination.

White elephant. Observatory ruins

The ruins on its top are definitely not visible - these are the remains of the Polish meteorological observatory “White Elephant”.

You can finish your hike above the clouds by descending from Black Mountain to the village. Dzhembronia (Berestechko) is the highest mountain village of the Ukrainian Carpathians with preserved national flavor.. From there, walk or take a private car (15 km) to the village. Verkhovyna, where there is already a regular bus service with Ivano-Frankivsk.

Every Ukrainian, and not only Ukrainian, but also any resident of neighboring countries who is more or less familiar with geography, will not be mistaken in saying that the Carpathians are located in the western part of Ukraine. In fact, a more accurate answer to the question “Where are the Carpathians?” there will be one that says that this mountain system is located on the territory of four Ukrainian regions at once: Lviv, Chernivtsi, Transcarpathian and Ivano-Frankivsk.
