The village of Osiy in the irshavsky district of the Transcarpathian region is a popular place for skiing holidays. Here, in the Kamenka tract, there are two tracks of initial and medium difficulty. They are equipped with rope tows and a snow groomer. At night, the tracks are illuminated.
On the border of the irshavsky and mezhgorsky districts of the Transcarpathian region, on the mountain between the villages of Bronka and Sukhaya, there are ruins of a medieval castle that was built in 1273. Until our time, only a few large stones and the remains of ramparts on the top of the mountain have survived from the fortress. An old road that branches off from the main road near the bridge leads to the remains of the fortress, which are located not far from the bronkivsky forest area
In 1872, a railway was laid through Volovets, which gave an impetus to the further rapid development of the village. Since 1957, Volovets has received the status of an urban-type settlement and district center. During the years of Soviet rule, administrative buildings, a communications center, a cultural Center, a tourist center "Plai", and a shopping complex were built here.
Today Volovets is one of the tourist centers of Transcarpathia. From here start the routes in the Borzhava Polonina.
During world war II, the Hungarian government built a military defensive line in the North-Eastern Carpathians – the Arpad Line. It consisted of several belts. The first is in the Carpathian region, to protect the approaches to the main Carpathian watershed
Romanians (self-name-Romin) are a national minority that lives in Transcarpathia in the valleys of the Tisa and Apsha rivers, in the villages of Bila Tserkva, Sredne Vodiane, Vodica Pleiuc, Nizhnyaya Apsha, Glubokoe Potok, Topchino and in the village of Solotvino. These are descendants of Wallachian shepherds who came to the Eastern Carpathians from the Balkans in the XIV century. Most of them eventually assimilated with the Rusyn population, and some settled in the Tisza valley as free settlers and, following the example of local residents, began to engage in agriculture. In the XIV-XVI centuries, the Romanians of the Tisza valley, as Orthodox, were a kind of intermediary in the cultural contacts of the Rusyns of the region with the Balkan Orthodoxy, which is documented both by Transcarpathian literary monuments of that time, and wall paintings of wooden churches of Maramoroshchini. Orthodoxy held its position in villages with a Romanian population until the middle of the XVIII century.
