Carpathian tram Vyhoda

How to get to know the mountains of the Carpathians in

all their beauty? Very easy. Admire the stormy streams
of rivers and drink healing water, straight from the
source, breathe mountain air mixed with the aromas of
herbs and flowers. You can get acquainted with the
history, traditions and culture of Ukrainian mountaineers
during the journey “Carpathian tram Vyhoda”.
Excursion route "Carpathian Tram" was created for this
purpose. Here everyone can get acquainted with the
nature and famous places of the region in just one day.
Carpathian Tram - essentially a mini-train that travels on
a narrow-gauge line only 70 cm wide. It consists of a
locomotive, two cars and an open platform. By the way,
in Europe, narrow-gauge routes are very popular with
tourists. This means that we, Ukrainians, are lucky to
have such a rare type of sightseeing transport. How is
the trip? The Carpathian Tram leaves the village of
Vyhoda and runs along the Mizunka River, quietly and
slowly. The houses of locals, fields, forest glades and
river banks float by. In this idyll, under the characteristic
knock of wheels, travelers enjoy the beauty of pristine
nature, take photos. During the stops, go down to the
healing spring, look at the waterfalls and swim in the
mountain, clear as crystal, water. The cars are well
radioed. Along the way, the guide tells interesting things
in which real events and legends are intertwined into
one bizarre picture
Travel options.
Tourists wishing to travel by tram can choose a short or
long tour.
The first route is standard. It takes about 4 hours, is 13
km long and is ideal for families with children. Departure
from Vyhoda takes place twice - in the morning (at
11:00) and in the afternoon (at 15:00). During the trip
there are three or four stops, near the sanatorium
"Source of Prykarpattia", on the river rapids and near the
source. Tourists go to the suspension bridges of the
Mizunka River and admire the waterfalls, as well as drink
water in the healing spring "Dzyurkach". During the trip
you can buy themed souvenirs from local masters, take
pictures with the insurgent and enjoy Carpathian dishes
from the kitchen.
The second route (it is called "mountain") - longer (11:
00-19: 00), passes through Shirkovets, Stary and Novy
Mizun. Here you can climb the Bald Mountain (1134
meters high). Then the route passes through Oak Corner.
The last interesting place is Mindunok, where a tour is
conducted on the territory of the timber industry
complex. This travel option is very rare and is possible
only by additional arrangement. The Carpathian tram
can run to other places. For groups of the most
inquisitive, trips to the Dolyna region are offered -
Dovbush Rock, Hoshiv Monastery and the Boykivshchyna
Museum
The Carpathian tram is just a great opportunity to see
the mountains and enjoy the fresh air
