Local history Museum is the largest Museum in the Transcarpathian region. The Museum was founded on 20.06.1945. Then it was called the people's Museum of Transcarpathian Ukraine and was located in 17 rooms of the former zhupanat. The Museum included departments of Ethnography, nature, and social construction. In June 1946, the people's Museum was reorganized into a local history Museum and moved to the Uzhhorod fortress in March-April 1947. At that time, there were 10,000 exhibits. Today, more than 133,000 exhibits are collected here.
One of the most characteristic song genres of Transcarpathian folklore are ditties. These are short humorous songs. The most common ditties are in the mountain villages of Transcarpathia, especially in the Hutsul region, where they dominate all other song genres.
Chastushki-short songs that are often combined in” bundles", a number of performers, usually without a strict plot. It all depended on the situation and the performer. Ditties could be used as accompaniment to the dance, which is called "kolomyika” or "hutsulka". Besides the genre was created by mountain shepherds and woodcutters. Sitting by the fire in the long evenings, they liked to tell different stories-stories, usually with stories about potaybichni forces. Men who possessed the gift of the so-called "Bai" were specially invited to family rituals, where they had to scare away evil spirits and bring good ones. In Hutsul mythology, there are about two hundred demonic entities. Some of them help, and some of them harm people.
Didivska lake is a remnant of the Black swamp Machar, on the site of a former sand quarry. The name comes from the village of Diyda (former name – Dedovo), which is located a few kilometers West of Beregovaya. Old-timers claim that a huge black snake with a long neck and a thick body lives in the lake. Based on this description, we can make the assumption that the diedivske monster is a relative of the world-famous monster from the Scottish Loch ness. According to local residents, earlier during night bathing on the lake, people often disappeared without a trace, and these victims were attributed to a mysterious snake. However, no such cases have been recorded in recent years.
In summer, lake Dyda is a favorite holiday destination for Transcarpathians and guests of the region. There is a sailing center on the lake, a cafe and a medical center
The popular Dragobrat ski resort is located at a distance of 18 kilometers from Yasin. It is listed in the book of records of Ukraine as the highest sports facility in the country (height of 1450 meters). The base is located in the eponymous tract on the North-Eastern slope of the Svidovets ridge at the foot of Stog mountain (1707 meters) and Bliznitsa massif (1883 meters), at the junction of coniferous forests and the Alpine zone. Thanks to its unique location, where the horseshoe mountains protect the Dragobrat tract, a unique microclimate has been formed here, which is almost ideal for skiing. The season runs from November to may, and in 1993 it lasted until July 15.
