Svalyavsky district is not very rich in architectural monuments, so for many tourists it is only a transit point on the highway Kyiv-Chop or Lviv-Mukachevo. But Svalyavsky district has other advantages. Most of the territory of the district (its area is 680 square kilometers) is occupied by mountain massifs. The highest point of the district is Mount Styy (1,677 meters). The Sinyak, Borliev Dil, and Borzhava ridges are also located in Svalyavshchyna.
Almost the entire territory of the district is occupied by the Svalyavsk medical and recreational zone: more than a quarter of all mineral waters of Transcarpathia concentrated precisely in the Svalyavskyi district – and this is almost a hundred springs. So it is not surprising that there are so many sanatoriums and boarding houses in the Svalyavshchyna.
Already in the documents of 1463, it was recorded that the local waters were used not only for drinking, but also for the treatment of stomach diseases. Now drilling wells of hydrogen carbonate sodium waters of various mineralization such as Narzan, Vichy, Yesentuki, Borjomi, Stara Russa have been developed in the area.
