The inhabitants of the region live in front of and in the Carpathians, but for the whole world this land is called Transcarpathia, someone says it is not possible to get here, but in 10 capitals of Europe is closer, and it is possible to reach faster than in Kiev, they say poor service here, it's boring and expensive ..., but still residents do not eat caviar at all ....

The portal "Turinform Transcarpathia" shares with the passengers of "Zakarpatavtotrans" its advice on the prejudices about Transcarpathia. Turinform summarized the most controversial information about myths about rest in Transcarpathia, and presented the 10 most popular myths:

Expensive to rest and bad service.
Those who never looked at prices say those. Rest in Zakarpattia is much cheaper than in Lviv, Odessa or Kiev. Accommodation per person for one day is from 200 to 600 UAH, of course, there are offers and more expensive, in hotels of the highest class, or cheaper at hostels or tourist centers. As for food, the business lunch costs from 35 UAH per person, a full dinner of 50 UAH, and dinner, from 70 UAH., Per person. Those who were in Transcarpathia will confirm this.
As for the service, it is not worse than in other regions of Ukraine. And for most objects, the level is significantly higher, since they work in all seasons and do not save on workers, as is often the case. Why? Because the rest in Transcarpathia is a year-round period. The same Transcarpathia is accessible for recreation with a sufficient level of service, and the criterion of price and quality is full compliance.2. The language of inhabitants of Transcarpathia is unclear.

It's no secret that many villages in Transcarpathia have their own dialect. Ukrainians, tourists from other countries, visiting the land, often listen to the language to understand the inhabitants of the region. But there is nothing strange here, these are traditional dialects for the inhabitants of rural areas. The inhabitants of hundreds of villages of Transcarpathia, and the cities communicate fluently in Hungarian. And residents of separate villages of Tyachiv district, also speak Romanian.

A lot of residents of the region communicate in Russian. There is communication even in Italian, because for decades Transcarpathians have been working in Europe, in particular in Italy, and many Italians are moving to live in the land, creating families. In some villages, there is also a traditional German, Slovak language of communication, for the older generation. But this does not mean that tourists planning to rest in Transcarpathia will not be able to communicate. There are no communication problems.
In Transcarpathia, everyone finds understanding and a common language. All this makes life of Transcarpathians interesting, and multilingualism makes it easy to find a common language with the Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, Croats, Poles and other nationalities.

3. Each village has its recipe for a boar - a goulash. And here they do not eat eggs.

Yes, it's a boggar - a goulash, and not just a boggrass (because in the translation from the Hungarian bogarche means a boar). Regarding the fact that each village has its own recipe, it is not true. Although there are indeed many different boggle recipes. The fact is that not all regions of Transcarpathia, the bograch - goulash is a traditional dish. Residents of mountainous regions of Transcarpathia have their own dish №1. For example, for somebody it's beaten beans, or even the same broth.
And yet, Transcarpathians do not eat red and black caviar. So it's true. And this is not due to its price. She has never been here, but she is not interested in anyone. It is eaten mostly by those who moved to live in Transcarpathia, from those who eat, 98% are inhabitants of cities.

4. Transcarpathian money: hryvnia, forint, euro, pounds, dollars, crowns, rubles

So. And this is normal. After all, Transcarpathia is a transboundary region, where currency exchanges work in cities at every step. And in every fifth family of people in Transcarpathia, someone is on work, and transfers money home. As a rule, it is a currency, which in turn serves as a calculation for goods or services. But of course, everywhere and hryvnia are accepted.

5. It's hard to get there

Many say that there is no way to get to Transcarpathia. It is not true, trains from the direction of Kiev - Lviv arrive from the very morning, in the most popular cities Volovets, Svalyava, Mukachevo, you can get up to 8 hours, and then tourists can plan their trip further to Transcarpathia. From abroad, from the direction of Budapest to the motorway on the border with the Transcarpathians, a dozen international transitions.
In addition to cars and trains, the airport operates. Residents and guests of the region are actively using the services of the airports of Budapest, Kosice, Lviv for flights around the world.

Even a popular resource BlaBlaCar offers hundreds of offers a week to get to Transcarpathia, both from Europe and in the direction of Lviv-Kiev.

6. There is no place to swim in the mountains

It's not true either. In addition to the year and mountain lakes, there are also pools in the hotels of Transcarpathia, in the territory of almost every district of the region. The distances between which are not so distant, the main desire.
And about the thermal and water complex Kosino, Beregovo, Mukachevo, the outskirts of Uzhgorod, Vinogradovo, Velyatino there is no speech.

7. Standard trips of the same type. What is interesting in Transcarpathia?

It is not true. It all depends on the interest of tourists, their desire to learn something interesting and unique, and not to choose a standard program. Most of the complaints about the excursion programs relate to those tourists coming from beyond Transcarpathia and those who are not recommended by the guide.
And in general, every 5 km in any direction of motion, regardless of the type of travel, is something interesting, original, unique, for example:

In the Velikiy Bereznyansky district, Zakarpattya, in the distant and within a radius of 20 km, in the Velyky Bereznyansky district, Zakarpattya, the oldest Ukrainian oak grows (more than 1200 years old), there are 2 objects protected by UNESCO (beech virgin forests, St.Michael temple), a three-boundary border (Kremenets mountain: Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine), is the place of the fall of Europe's largest meteorite (the village of Princess, on June 9, 2016, there will be 150 anniversaries).
Interestingly, there are 3 castles and 2 palaces in the vicinity of Uzhhorod, 2 castles and 3 palaces in the vicinity of Mukacheve, dozens of unique stone and wooden temples of Transcarpathia

And who knows Pylypets, paradise for paragliders and active recreation lovers.
 Unique gastronomic routes, with visits to cities of production, processing of products: wine cellars, tasting rooms of cheese, lequire, honey.
8. Relationships between people are more important than money

So. It's true. Very often, indigenous inhabitants of the region are ready to meet guests. This is their hospitality. Guests of Transcarpathia can often simply be treated with wine or a stick, as a sign of respect. May give more than the guest requested.
Older people say they should always be human, but there are things that you do not buy for money. Many are abusing and exploiting the inhabitants of the region. As a rule, it is not a radical Transcarpathian, but the fact itself negatively affects the image of the region. But still, good defeats evil.

9. What is the main city of Transcarpathia

Many argue that the city of Transcarpathia is the most important: Uzhgorod, Mukachevo, Khust. You can add Yatsina, Vinogradov, Berehove towns. After all, in different historical times, each of them, for some time had a political weight and influence. Or, even better, it was the center of the committee during the Austro-Hungary, or the Hutsul Republic (Yasinya), Carpathian Ukraine (Khust).

Administrative center of Transcarpathia - Uzhgorod, political-logistic Mukachevo ...
