In spring and summer, Skhidnytsia and its surroundings offer many excellent options for recreation. The most popular among them is undoubtedly recreation in local sanatoriums. Although Skhidnytsia is considered Truskavets’ younger sister, it is becoming an increasingly popular destination for spa holidays every year due to the level of service and the rapid development of its balneological infrastructure.
Hiking, cycling and horseback riding tours in the surrounding mountains and forests are another great way to spend your time in the warm season. Skhidnytsia is a launching pad for many different routes: from one-day easy hikes for beginners and families with children to exhausting multi-day marathons high in the mountains.
The most popular locations for hiking are the St Panteleimon the Healer Landscape Park in Skhidnytsia itself, the Skole Beskydy National Park, the Tustan Nature Reserve, and the Stuzhytsia Landscape Park, Mount Parashka (1270 m), the Laznyi, Gurkalo, Krushelnytskyi, Sopit, Kamianka waterfalls, a wind farm in the Bukhiv tract and, finally, the incredible observation tower on Mount Tsyukhiv Verkh. Thanks to experienced guides, hikes and walks from Skhidnytsia are made with maximum comfort and pleasure.
From the second half of spring to mid-autumn, Skhidnytsia is a great location for mushroom and berry tours in the local forests. Thanks to a quiet hunt for forest gifts, you can relax and forget about everyday hustle and bustle and feel incredible unity with nature.
Another great way to relax in Skhidnytsia and its surroundings in spring and summer is fishing. For avid fishermen, the best place is the Stryi River, located next to Skhidnytsia, which becomes a ‘cool’ place for them from the first minutes.
In the warm season, Skhidnytsia is a great place for water activities and beach holidays. The best location for this is the water park at the Three Sons and a Daughter hotel complex. In addition, many sanatoriums and hotels in Skhidnytsia also have their own comfortable swimming pools.
