Why do people go to mountains? Each person has his/her own reasons for that. Some people want to escape from problems, others hope to aqcuire peace of mind there.

Any season, mountains are beautiful. Check out this collection of photographs of the Carpathian Mountains  taken in summertime.

In Gorgany mountain range there are the most difficult paths in the Carpathians.

Paths made by people cut it all over.

Central Gorgaby somehow resembles mountain deserts with huge stones, rocks, dust and wind blowing in all directions.

The Carpathians are a range of mountains forming an arc roughly 1,500 km long across Central and Eastern Europe, making them the second-longest mountain range in Europe. The Carpathians stretch from the Czech Republic in the northwest through Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine to Romania in the east and between Romania and Serbia in the south.

In Ukraine, the Carpathians with their clean lakes and waterfalls, fresh air and healing herbs are considered to be the most non-polluted area in the country. Some trees can be found only here.

Schopenhauer once said, “The most widely spread kind of pride is national pride. Each person living on this planet is proud of his Motherland.” Ukrainians can easily change the word ‘Motherland’ for ‘the Carpathians’.

These stones are millions years old!

It seems like you are walking above clouds.

Parachute jumpers love these mountains!
