As part of the year of flower tourism, the Transcarpathian Tourist Organization offers to visit cherry blossom sites in Uzhgorod, Mukachevo, Irshava, Khusta and Perechina.
The sakuras in Uzhgorod and other cities of Transcarpathia are expected to start blooming this year on April 6-7. This was reported on his Facebook page by a Transcarpathian tourism expert, UzhNU professor Fedir Sandor.
"If the next week will be warm, then the flowering will begin even before Easter. Otherwise, on the weekend - in this case, it will not be lush and massive, but unstoppable. On April 6-7, this will be the peak of sakuras," the tourism expert predicts.
Alleys of sakuras (cherry blossoms) on the streets of the city near the embankment are one of the tourist attractions of Uzhgorod. Usually, the mass flowering of sakuras occurs in the second half of April. But this year's abnormally early and warm spring accelerated the growing season.
"Given the condition of the buds, they are ready to bloom already. But a cool front this week slowed down the process. However, every day you can observe the unstoppable process of unfolding," noted Fedir Sandor.
The Transcarpathian Tourism Organization has announced 2024 in Transcarpathia as the year of flower tourism and promotes trips to places of bloom. In particular, according to the organization, during April in the region you can visit the following flower locations:
