about region

The Carpathian Mountains belong to five countries and a great number of nations. In terms of diversity of the natural environment, they constitute one of the most valuable regions in Europe and, what is more, they are the phenomenon of multiculturalism, the meeting point of two civilisations – the Latin West and the Byzantine East. Mutual relations of the nations were not always peaceful; that is why, there was a need to create the plane for international and interpersonal cooperation – the Carpathian Euroregion. It consists of bordering regions of Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine and Hungary.
