Highlights
Parashka Mountain is the highest peak of the mountain range that has the same name (1268 m). There is a memorial plaque at the top of the mountain with the following inscription: «Paraskevia, the daughter of Drevlyany Prince Svyatoslav, was killed and buried here in 1015». Following the legend, the mountain was named after her. If the weather is fine one will enjoy wonderful Carpathian landscapes.
Hurkalo Waterfall is located on the Big river (the tributary of the Stryy river), 570 m above sea level. The water drop height is about 5 m. The waterfall consists of one cascade that is divided into two streams by rocky ledge. One of them is considerably deeper than the other. During dry seasons, the smaller stream practically disappears, though it fully corresponds to its name (translated as «roarer») during spring floods. High water is running from the slopes of Parashka ridge and falling into the water pot of 10 m in diameter and 2 m in depth with a mighty roar. Though the water is quite cold, it is possible to swim in Hurkalo in summer.
The Parashka mountain range is located in the Skolivski Beskydy mountain range. It begins 4 km to the west out of Skole town and stretches for 7,6 km to the northwest. Its highest peaks are Parashka, Tymkiv Verkh, Zelena, Obroslyy Verkh, Korchanka. The range is covered with numerous half-ruined trenches, dugouts and bunkers from the times of World War II.
