CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Dovhe it runs 540 km to Dovhe; allow about 13 h 18 of riding. It goes by way of Synevyr - Strymba, Yasynia-Tserkva of Our Lord’s Ascension and back through Synevyr - Strymba. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,150 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available.
In Transcarpathia, the westernmost corner of Ukraine, the Carpathians drop down to a plain that feels more Central European than Eastern. The region was part of Hungary for a thousand years, then Czechoslovakia, then briefly independent, then the Soviet Union and finally Ukraine, and the villages carry a mix of languages, churches and foods. Zacharovanyi Krai, the Enchanted Land, is the name of a nature park in the hills of this region, with beech forests, meadows, mineral springs and small rivers.

Zacharovanyi Krai - Velykyi Dil is where the day begins. Next is Synevyr - Strymba.
In the Carpathian mountains of Transcarpathia, in western Ukraine, the forests around Synevyr include some of the last remaining primeval beech forests in Europe, part of the transnational World Heritage Site of the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe. Strymba is one of the protected forest areas, in the hills near the village of Kolochava, where beech trees grow old and die without human interference, creating a rich habitat for fungi, insects, birds and animals.

Synevyr - Strymba comes up about 100 km into the recorded legs. Next is Yasynia-Tserkva of Our Lord’s Ascension.
High in the Ukrainian Carpathians, in the valley of the Black Tisa, the village of Yasinia stretches along the river beneath steep spruce-clad slopes. On a rise near its centre stands a small wooden church, the Church of the Ascension, sometimes called the Strukivska church, built in the early nineteenth century by Hutsul craftsmen without nails. Its stepped roofs, covered in wooden shingles, and its small domes give it a cosy, fairytale shape, and it is part of the UNESCO listing of wooden tserkvas of the Carpathian region in Poland and Ukraine.
