On September 13, Transcarpathian Open Hikes organizers invite to a trip to the highest peak of the Borzhava – Mount Stiy.

This information with a link to the event page has appeared on the page of the Tourinform Transcarpathia in Facebook. Currently, there are no details of the trip.

Note: all-knowing Wikipedia says that the height of the Mount Stiy is 1681 meters above sea level. Its western slopes are steep, the bottom part is covered with beech woods. Southern and eastern slopes are more gentle. On the western slopes, the reserve of national importance Rosishny is situated. On the northern slopes, there is a pothole of glacial origin.

During the Soviet Union period, a military radar was located on the top. Later, the radar was dismantled.

On the 1st of September, 2014, at the difficult time for the country, parents, teachers and even children want to express their support for the Mortherland and those who protect it. The easiest way is a bouquet for a teacher in yellow and blue colors. A more effective one is to transfer the money, planned for these flowers, for the needs of the army.

Volunteers in Uzhgorod and Mukachevo offer yellow and blue cap badges and bows for girls. Teachers are asked at the first lesson to have children write and draw messages for Transcarpathian participants of the ATO.

“We do not sell occupier’s products!” – new patriotic campaign in Uzhgorod (illustrations)

31.08.2014

Already on the first day of autumn, meaningful and, most importantly, patriotic stickers will appear on the door of the “most conscientious” Uzhgorod facilities – shops, restaurants and cafes. Actually, they have already begun to decorate them. The sticker contains a simple and important information: here, they do not sell occupier’s products, that is, anything made in Russia.

The campaign is the idea of an entrepreneur, the head of the public organization “Business Forum of Transcarpathia” Margarita Moshchak. She believes that at the time when hostile aggression and, in fact, an undeclared war with Russia continues, it is more than inappropriate to “sponsor” the occupier.
