Attractions of Yasinia

The wooden church of the Ascension of the Lord in Yasinia is called the Strukivska church after the legendary founder of the village, the shepherd Ivan Struk.

According to legend, in the 16th century, a shepherd built a chapel at this place to thank God for the miraculous salvation of his flock.

The current Ascension Church was built in 1824. It is considered one of the most perfect wooden temples of the Hutsul region. A good ratio of the central dome and four gable roofs was found in the Strukivska Church. The two-story bell tower is not inferior to it in its architectural and artistic qualities.

The interior of the temple is particularly cozy and at the same time not devoid of solemnity. Several icons from the 17th century have been preserved in the church.

Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in the category "Wooden Churches of the Carpathian Region of Ukraine".

Trufanets waterfall - the highest natural waterfall in Transcarpathia - 36 meters.

Located near the Yasinia-Rakhiv highway, 2 kilometers from the turn to Drahobrat. It is located on the Trufanets stream - the right tributary of the Black Tysa River, on the southeastern slopes of the Svydovetsky Range.

Formed at the place of emergence to the surface of sandstones resistant to destruction. The stream originates in the subalpine belt at an altitude of 1,720 meters at the foot of Blyznytsia. The length of the stream is 2830 meters. In the forest belt, it partially (230 meters) flows underground.

The Trufanets waterfall forms several cascades. This is one of the most picturesque cascading waterfalls in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Hydrological monument of nature.

Drahobrat is a high-altitude village that arose as a ski resort around the "Drahobrat" refuge at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level (the highest ski base of the Ukrainian Carpathians).

The resort area with housing (Drahobrat camp and private cottages) and entertainment is located on the Drahobrat plain at the junction of coniferous forests and alpine meadows at the foot of Mount Stih (1707 meters) in the area of ​​the Blyznytsia mountain range (1883 meters).

The unique topography of the slopes and a long snow period (snow falls from November to March) attracts professionals and fans of extreme skiing, and the difficult road from the nearest large village of Yasinia weeds out random people.

Overcoming 14 kilometers of mountain road in winter is possible only on a utilitarian off-road vehicle, so motorists prefer to leave their own transport in Yasinia and use the "Carpathian taxi".

The Historical and Local Lore Museum of the urban-type village of Yasinia is located in a wooden house in the center of the village.

The exposition has four sections. The ethnographic department is decorated in the form of the interior of a Hutsul house and demonstrates the daily life of the Hutsuls. Hutsul tools of the 19th - early 20th centuries are presented in the Hutsul economy department. In the department of folk crafts, samples of Hutsul embroidery, weaving, carving, cooperage, etc. are exhibited. The Department of Nature of the Carpathians tells about the fleet and fauna of the region. T

he Yasinia Historical and Local Lore Museum also has an art gallery on the second floor. 

On the facade of the museum, a memorial plaque was installed in honor of the founder of the village, the legendary shepherd Danylo Struk, who built the first wooden church in Yasinia.

In 2011, a monument to Stepan Klochurak, president of the Hutsul Republic of 1918-1919, was erected on the square in front of the museum.
