This series shows the highest inhabitants of the Ukrainian Carpathians. The highest settlements are over 1000 meters above sea level. There are very harsh conditions for life, because the winter here is very long. The inhabitants of these small villages have to work hard to store food for the winter. Picking berries and mushrooms, mowing hay for the winter for livestock and many other jobs that take up all their time. But clean air and beautiful nature compensates for all the difficulties of high mountain life.
