Ukraine - accommodation, catering, sport, culture, tourism

 Unbelievably beautiful wooden houses and churches of the past ages create a genuine atmosphere of Ukrainian villages from different regions of the country – the lands of Boykos, Lemkos, Hutsuls, as well as Bukovyna and the Transcarpathian Region. In dwelling and utility houses you will find items of everyday use and farm implements. The churches, chapels and belfries have an authentic look.

The oldest monument to be found in the open-air museum is a house from the Carpathian village of Lybokhora dating back to 1749. The exposition includes wooden churches from the village of Kryvka (1763) of Turka District and the village of Tysovets (1863) of Skole District in Lviv Region, remarkable for the uniqueness of their shape. The church from Kryvka is a folk architecture masterpiece of European importance. Folklore-ethnographic ensembles stage their performances on the museum’s territory.

The annual folklore festival called From the Folk Source (Z Narodnoyi Krynytsi) enjoys great popularity among the visitors. Liturgies are performed at churches, and especially impressive among them are the divine services at the Lord’s Wisdom Church (the church from the village of Kryvka) held at Christmas and Easter.
