The village of Stuzhytsia, on the border of Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland, is the center of the Uzhanskyi National Park.
Back in 1908, the Hungarian government declared the beech forests around the village an international biosphere reserve "Eastern Carpathians". Since 1995, it has been a landscape park "Stuzhytsia", since 1999 - a national nature conservation park. The legendary "Dido-oak" grows here, which, according to one version, is the oldest in Ukraine - 1200 years old (according to other sources - 500 years old).
The hotel business and green tourism are developing.

Ще в 1908 році угорський уряд оголосив букові ліси навколо села міжнародним біосферним заповідником "Східні Карпати". З 1995 року це ландшафтний парк "Стужиця", з 1999 р. - національний природоохоронний парк. Тут росте легендарний "Дідо-дуб", який, за однією з версій, є найстарішим в Україні - 1200 років (за іншими даними - 500 років).
