Carpathian Tram from Truskavets. Ukraine’s only narrow-gauge railway, the Mizunka waterfalls and the Heritage Centre in Vyhoda

The narrow-gauge line began to be built at the end of the 19th century to haul timber: Baron Leopold Popper laid the track along the Mizunka. Today a section of it is open to tourists, and the mountains, the river and the bridges look much as they did a century ago. The train consists of a locomotive with seats for tourists, from where you can watch the driver at work, and carriages: a closed one for the cold season and an open one for the warm. The route runs along the Mizunka, and along the way the train stops at the Mizunka waterfall cascade and at the suspension bridge by the Dzherelo Prykarpattia sanatorium. The guide tells the history of the narrow-gauge railways of the Prykarpattia region and explains how this branch was restored. After the ride there is lunch in Vyhoda and a visit to the Narrow-Gauge Heritage Centre in the oldest building in the village: an interactive exhibition about Carpathian nature, the forest and the railway, especially popular with children. Zakhid Travel provides transportation and a guide, and tickets for the tram and the centre can be added to your order.
