stone fields and alpine pine thickets on the mountain ranges Tavpishyrka and Syvulya;
Syvulya Mountain (1836 m), the highest peak of Gorgany massif;
sources of the river Bystrytsya Nadvirnyanska located on the mountain valley of Ruschyna;
herds of horses resembling wild mustangs that graze on the Carpathian mountain valleys.
