Ukrainian Carpathians

In ancient times, this mountain range, located in the eastern part of Central Europe, was called the Sarmatian Mountains. The modern name “Carpathians” most likely comes from the word “stone”, which existed in the Proto-Indo-European language. They stretched across the territory of eight states - Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia and Austria. The highest point of the Carpathian Mountains is Gerlachovsky Štit. The mountain is located in Slovakia; it reaches a height of 2655 meters.
