Since the last century an attention of many explorers from many countries has focused on it. A common interest in finding the answers to the questions of the causes of the specifications of their cultural manifestation in the Carpathians connected them. They seemed to be different from firmly rooted ideas about the typical features of individual nations. Anachronisms provoke everybody who was looking for the originalities of their own national or Slavonic culture. They served to the creating of romantic fanta- sies about the culture in the mountains surviving into the period in which European nations formed. From the point of view of a historian this culture is considered to be very young, having been created before our eyes. Our generation could still study it by the very watching. We know it from autopsy. It differed from neighbouring lower situated areas with the early evolution forms, transferring of their phenomena for long distances, strong penetration and co operation with neighbouring social environments and ethnic heterogeneity. This all enabled people in the mountains to survive even in the worst climatic and social conditions. The principles of the folk culture being thought to be specific for the whole Carpathians touching vast areas of Europe connected fairly different forms of the way of the life from the Balkan to White Russia and from the river Morava (CZ) as far as the coast of the Black Sea.

  • Genetic Assessment of the Hucul Horse Breed
    Theses of Doctoral (PhD) Dissertation GENETIC ASSESSMENT OF THE HUCUL HORSE BREED Enikő Somogyvári Ph.D. candidate Dissertation supervisor: Dr. Sándor Mihók C.Sc. professor emeritus UNIVERSITY OF DEBRECEN Doctoral School of Animal Science Debrecen, 2019. 1 Introduction and goals of the doctoral dissertation The subject of the research is the Hucul breed, a unique horse breed of European animal breeding. It is unique not only in its appearance but considering also its region of origin. The breed has its origin in the Northeastern region of Wooded Carpathians, the Hucul, with an east-west length of 200 kilometers and a north-south length of 100 kilometers. Before the First World War, the Hucul region (HUZULEI) situated at the border of three countries, namely, Hungary, Bukovina, and Galicia. The impassable source area of the rivers Tisza, Prut, Cseremosz, and Brodina provided genetic isolation to the breed; the genetic structure of the breed was modified only in a negligible way through immigration. Due to the location of the region Hucul, Hungary has had a bond to the Hucul breed since its existence. Some individuals were also found in the country, at some larger estates. After the peace treaties of the First World War, Hungary bought four Hucul stallions and thirteen Hucul mares from the original Hucul population. These horses, together with some other individuals bought from the larger estates of the country, were accommodated at the military stud farm at Bántapuszta, founded in 1922. Hucul horses bought from Poland were also accommodated at Bántapuszta. Moreover, in 1939, the Hucul breed population of the Stallion Deposit at Turjaremete became the possession of Hungary.

FOREWORD This book was not originally written for you. Nevertheless, it may well transform your perspective on hiking and the Carpathians. At least this is what it has done for many. The Carpathian Games was intended for a circle of nature-loving fellows in the early 1980s in Czechoslovakia. It was published unofficially since its “truths were not for everyone’s ears.” However, words of the text were so touching that people would copy them on typewriters and circulate it amongst friends.

    Review of Historical Geography and Toponomastics, vol. IV, no. 7-8, 2009, pp. 77-96 ELEMENTS OF CARPATHIANS GEOGRAPHY IN THE OLD HISTORIC AND CARTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTS Petru URDEA, Claudia URDEA** * West University of Timişoara, Department of Geography, Blv. V. Pârvan, No.4, 300223, Timişoara, Romania,e-mail: [email protected] ** „Avram Iancu” School, Timişoara, Romania, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Elements of Carpathians Geography in the old historic and cartographic documents. The article shows several aspects of how the network of mountain toponyms was formed in our mountain area and how this process is illustrated in Middle Age documents and cartographic sources. The way in which mediaeval documents reflect a certain way of perceiving the different characteristics of our mountains, (mountains with alpine aspect vs. other mountains) is also illustrated. The apparition and perpetuation of certain oronyms on various maps, especially on the maps of Transylvania is also illustrated, the other Romanian provinces being poorer in cartographic productions. After analyzing the above mentioned cartographic material we may conclude that the oronym Carpatus, Carpates, Carpathes, Carpazzi, never appears in the area of the Meridional Carpathians, but only in the area of the Oriental Carpathians. It most frequently appears in two areas of the Eastern Carpathians i.e. at the sources of Tisa and at the sources of Mureş and Olt, or at the sources of Târnave rivers. The oronym Alpes, derived from the appellative alpes, appears on maps of the Southern Carpathians from the 16th century until the end of the 19th century when, on a scientific –didactic source, the regional oronym Carpaţii Meridionali (Southern Carpathians) appears together with the oronym the Alps of Transylvania.

  • National Natural Park "Synevyr" (Національний Природний Парк «Синевир»)
    Oksana Maryskevych NATIONAL NATURAL PARK "SYNEVYR" (Національний природний парк «Синевир») I. ORIGINS The establishment of the National Natural Park "Synevyr" is connected with the unique in nature mountain lake called Synevyr (photo 1). It is worth mentioning that already in the 1930s, on the ridge of Polonyna Krasna (upper part of the Tereblya river catchment area), Czech botanists A. Zlatnik and A. Hilitzer planned to create protected areas. In the 1970s, as a result of many years' research by outstanding Ukrainian scientists - professors Wasilij Komendar, Stepan Stojka and Stepan Fodor, in order to protect the nature of the upper sub- alpine forests of the Tereblya river valley, on the area of about 40 thousands ha, a landscape reserve of national importance was created, which was named "Synevyr Lake", as well as forest, ichthyologic and peatbog reserves of local importance were created - "Gluchanya", "Kantyna", "Jeziorko" and "Kamianka". As a result of cooperation between scientists and local authorities in the area, the National Nature Park "Synevyr" was established by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of 5th January 1989 (hereinafter referred to as "the Park"), the third National Park established in Ukraine (1980 - Carpathian National Park, 1982 - Shatsky National Park). The concept for the creation of the Park was developed in the Lviv department of the M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany NAS of Ukraine (Stepan Stojko). According to the Resolution, the Park obtained a total area of 40 400 ha (after the enlargement in 2009 and 2020 it is 43 082 ha). These are all lands of the State Treasury, the Park Administration manages 29 890 ha, while the users of the remaining 13 192 ha (including about 6 000 ha of forests of former kolkhozes) are Synevyr (villages of Synevyrska Polyana, Synevyr, Zawerchnia Kyczera, Swoboda, Zahorb, Berehy) and Kolochava (villages of Kolochava, Nehrovets, Kosiw Werch, Mereszor, Horb).

  • A Brief Historical Outline of the Evolution of the Hungarian Kingdom Border
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Online Edition Series on History and Archaeology ISSN 2067-5682 Volume 7, Number 2/2015 27 A BRIEF HISTORICAL OUTLINE OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUNGARIAN KINGDOM BORDER ∗ Radu Ştefan VERGATTI Abstract. The title of this short article requires, from the very start of the discussion sine ira et studio , a number of clarifications. They are needed, as documents show, to remove any passionate views that are often encountered in the Hungarian historiography. We have used the term the Kingdom of Hungary for, ever since its emergence, the Hungarian state had taken the form of a monarchy. The rank of that monarchy was always that of kingdom, since its emergence until 1945, when the Republic was proclaimed. Keywords: Hungarians, western/eastern Christendom, Hungarian Kingdom, boundary, expansion, conquests, etnho-demographic realities. As for the arrival of the Hungarians in Europe, that occurred later. This Finno-Ugric people 1 living in the central basin of the Volga River 2 was born from the mixture of two tribal unions, that of the Ugrians and of the Magyars 3. The Turkic tribes of the Bashkirs would later join them4. Hence, the nickname “Bozgor” that appeared later on 5. Hungarian tribes pushed westwards, through the present-day territory of Ukraine. In 889 Turkic tribes of the Pechenegs were hit. The Hungarians would regroup. Following the Cossacks’ model, they would choose two leaders, namely Árpád and Kursan. They assumed the pompous, unjustified title of kings, although they led a mere union of tribes. Basileus Leon VI skilfully used the Hungarians to fight against the Bulgarians, who had risen under Tsar Simeon (893-927).
