The urban-type village of Vyhoda is located at the confluence of the Svicha and Mizunka rivers, 7 kilometers northwest of Dolyna in the direction of Mizhhirya.
Since the 19th century, it has been a major center of forest harvesting. In 1873-1898, the Viennese businessman Leopold Popper von Podhari laid a narrow-gauge railway to Vyhoda from the Dolyna. At the beginning of the 20th century, up to 65 kilometers of narrow-gauge railways were built to service mountain logging, and some of them are still in use today.
The "Carpathian Tram" tourist excursion route was opened on the basis of the preserved areas.
Селище міського типу Вигода розташоване на злитті річок Свіча та Мізунька, в 7 кілометрах на північний захід від Долини в бік Міжгір'я.
З XIX століття є великим центром заготівлі лісу. В 1873-1898 роках віденський підприємець Леопольд Поппер фон Подгарі проклав вузькоколійну залізницю до Вигоди з Долини. На початку XX століття для обслуговування гірських лісозаготівель було побудовано до 65 кілометрів вузькоколійних залізниць, які частково використовуються за призначенням й досі.
На основі збережених ділянок відкрито туристичний екскурсійний маршрут "Карпатський трамвай".
Carpathian Tram
Entertainment / leisure
The Carpathian tram is an original narrow-gauge excursion route through the picturesque foothills of the Carpathians, which runs from Vyhoda to Senechiv.
It was opened in 2004 on the basis of a narrow-gauge railway created by Baron Leopold Popper fon Podhrahi at the end of the 19th century to service mountain logging. The width of the narrow track is 760 millimeters, which is almost 2 times smaller than the traditional European track.
The train includes a locomotive in which you can observe the driver's work, a closed car with comfortable seats, a cabriolet car, and an open platform. Along the route, the train crosses 4 bridges.
Stops are planned near the bridge over the Myzunka River, the source of mineral water "Horyanka", the height of the Shirkovets swamp, Dubovy Kut station and near the cascade of the Myzunsky Waterfall. It is possible to organize picnics.
