Skole Beskids National Nature Park

Beech and beech-fir forests on flysch ridges in western Ukraine

The park covers the Skole Beskids range of the Carpathians, where beech and beech-fir forests grow on flysch ridges cut by the Stryi and Opir valleys. Spruce-fir-beech forest, much of it over 100 years old, covers the highest altitudes.
