Why are there mountains on the stamp?
Mountains are central to Zakarpattia’s identity because the entire region lies within the Carpathian mountain system. The scenic landscape attracts visitors for hiking, skiing, hot springs, and marvelous mountain villages. Resorts like Pylypets and Bukovel are worldwide popular gateways for tourists. Mountain life shapes local traditions, from wooden Hutsul architecture to sheep herding and folk music with the world’s largest horn called trembita. Mountain passes here were ancient trade routes linking Ukraine with Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. In short, Zakarpattia without mountains would be like Kherson without watermelons — unimaginable.
