The territory of Ukraine
is mostly a level treeless plain,
called the steppe. Ukraine is not a mountainous country, though
there are the Crimean Mountains in the Crimean Peninsula
and the Carpathian
Mountains in the west of the country; both are not very high. The highest mountain is Hoverla. It is 2061
meters high. The Carpathians are the only mountainous
natural boundary of Ukraine.
Mountains cover only 5% of the whole area of Ukraine. They are covered with
mixed forests of pine, fir, beech and oak trees. There are many
picturesque mountain resorts there and winter sports are very popular. The
thickest forests in Ukraine
can be found in Volyn; they are a part of the famous Byelovezhskaya Puscha. The
Crimean Mountains are an all year round
tourists' and mountain-climbers` attraction.
They are close to the second natural boundary of Ukraine
- the Black Sea and the Azov
Sea which are famous for
their holiday centres and children's summer camps.
