Historically it is a tourist spa town and later was also turned into a great ski resort with several ski-jumping ramps.
It
has only around 5,000 inhabitants, but due to a constant flow of
tourists, its population almost year round is bigger. Located on the
height of 800 meters above sea level, it is famous for its close ties to
the Hutsuls - an ethno-cultural group of Ukrainians who live in the
Carpathians, often regarded as a Hutsul capital.
Vorokhta is
surrounded by the Carpathian National Nature Park, it also is the center
of winter sports, with several ski-lifts. In 1919-1939 it belonged to
Poland and was known all over the country, attracting many tourists,
fascinated both by the mountains and the Hutsuls
