Attractions of Uzhhorod district

Voyevodyn waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Transcarpathia.

It is located in a hard-to-reach place on the territory of the Sokolovi Skeli State Reserve. The name is deciphered as "voy-vodyn" (howling water). He also received the second name Shypit for his powerful voice.

The icy waters of the mountain stream Voyevodyn, flowing from Mount Runa, are dumped here from a height of 24 meters and after 4 kilometers flow into the Shypit River.

There is a comfortable recreation center nearby.
