Shurdyn Pass
Historic area , Natural object
Shurdyn Pass is the highest mountain pass in Ukraine (1173 meters).
It passes through the Carpathian ridge of Rakov between the settlements of Berehomet and Seliatyn.
It is believed that this path was paved in 1914 by Russian troops under the command of General Oleksiy Brusylov. During the First World War, bloody battles with Austro-Hungarian troops took place in this part of the Carpathians, with Ukrainians fighting on both sides.
On the mass grave of fallen soldiers on the Shurdyn pass, the chapel of Archstrategist Mykhaylo was built.
The pass offers a wonderful panorama of the Bukovyna Carpathians.
