However the majority of visitors to Tatariv in Ukraine come here to enjoy the other natural wonders it has to offer. Tatariv is located in the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains and the area is rich in history, culture and most of all, nature. Beech and conifer forests provide a tranquil atmosphere and fill the air with a wonderfully soothing scent. In fact, the trees do more than just make everything look and smell pretty – research has shown that they create antimicrobic and anti-inflammatory evaporations. These can help clear respiratory illnesses and so Tatariv is widely seen to be a place of healing. The absence of development and pollution in the area has left the water in the lakes and rivers in the area so clean that it is teeming with trout – a fish known for its preference for clear waters. The rivers can be used for fishing, swimming or boating, though some visitors prefer to simply seat themselves nearby so they can be soothed by the soft babbling of the water.
