The village of Vuchkove is known not only as the home of the Carpathian bee, but also for the unique geyser located here, in the Petrovets tract, the Tourist Information Center of Transcarpathia informs.
This natural phenomenon in Mizhhirya district of Transcarpathia is one of the most exciting events that tourists can see while visiting the Carpathians.
Today, the natural monument that is unique to Ukraine, almost every 2 hours (depending on various circumstances and season), discharges water 4-6 meters high for about 10 minutes.
