The National Natural Park “Boykivshchyna” has been operating on the territory of Lviv region for 3 years and is located in the territory of the Turkiv district.<\/p>\n
The park covers an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 12 hectares. The territory is covered by low and mid-mountain ridges, which offer a fantastic panorama from the highest peak of the Lviv region \u2013 Mount Pikuy. The hospitable Boyki region with its unique history, ancient architecture and shady mountain paths among ancient forests always awaits travelers here.<\/p>\n
“Boykivshchyna” borders with other nature conservation areas in Ukraine – the “Skolivski Beskydy” NPP and Poland’s Beszchadskiy PN and the “Upper Syan Valley” RLP.<\/p>\n
The vegetation of the park is formed by fir-beech forests, and large tracts of ancient forests with an area of \u200b\u200babout 500 hectares have been preserved. Also, about 700 species of plants grow on the territory, including 32 rare species listed in the Red Book. Among the plants there are late autumn flowers, May cuckoos, cranberries, snow-white snowdrops, spring white flowers.<\/p>\n
172 species of animals live in the local fauna: red deer, spotted salamander, buzzard, house bear, big iris, as well as 34 species of Red Book animals.<\/p>\n
In the tract of Mishok, which borders the Polish part of the “Eastern Carpathians”, the localized Ramsar site “Boloto Nadsyannia” is the only swamp in the Eastern Beskids within the borders of Ukraine and Poland that has not been affected by land reclamation. This is reflected in the logo of the Park, on which is placed the peat yellowtail – a butterfly that was found in the Ukrainian Carpathians only within the boundaries of this object.<\/p>\n
The park is located within the territory of the permanent residence of the Boik people – one of the ethnographic Carpathian groups who have preserved traditional buildings and still practice applied arts: embroidery, carpentry, stelmach, cooperage, blacksmithing.<\/p>\n
On the territory of the park there are two tourist routes and two ecological trails, there are 7 peaks and 17 wooden churches, including the Church of the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin, which in 2013 was included in the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.<\/p>\n
