Perhaps the most beautiful place not only in Transcarpathia, but in the whole of Ukraine, is Lake Synevyr. No wonder it is also called the pearl of Transcarpathia or the sea eye of the Carpathians. This lake is legendary. And one of the legends tells about the unhappy love of the daughter of the local rich man Xin and the poor guy Vir, who are not destined to be together. By order of the girl's father, a stone was thrown from the mountain on the guy, and after learning about this, Xin cried out a whole lake of tears. The water in the lake is really the purest, like a tear, and even from the depths you can see the bottom of the lake. And the views around the water mirror are simply amazing! The tall fir trees around the lake are mesmerizing. On the banks of the Synevyr there is a sculptural composition "Sin and Vir" as a reminder of the immortal love of two lovers. This lake is located in the National Natural Park of the same name Synevyr.

Also on the territory of this national park there is a center for the rehabilitation of brown bears. A huge area where brown bears live.
