Best Hotels in Kosov Ukraine

Kosov is a recognized trade and administrative center of the Hutsuls. This iconic place arose in the second half of the 16th century, when large deposits of salt were discovered here. Over time, the natural area around the city was transformed into the National Park “Hutsulshchyna”, and a 1200-meter ski slope was laid 2 kilometers from its center. It is served by 1 lift. Near it there are several equipment rental points, a first-aid post, a café and free parking. Hotels of the city are one large tourist complex “Baika”, mini-hotels and numerous private houses, where guests most often live with the owners.

What to see in Kosovo?

The center of Hutsul culture and everyday life has a huge history. Many tourists specially come here to buy souvenirs made by the hands of local masters. Shops with handicraft products are located everywhere. The city has another feature: in the evenings the streets are empty. Hutsulas like to spend their leisure time with their families. But this does not mean that after a day filled with sports adventures, there is nowhere to go.

There are museums in Kosovo:

  • folk art;
  • folk art and everyday life;
  • history of liberation of the Carpathian region.

Legendary places include:

  • Castle Hill;
  • observation deck on Mount Ostraya;
  • hydrogen sulfide spring in the village of Smodna;
  • spring Krinchistyaya Krynychka.

And just a walk through the streets of the old town will bring pleasure.
