• Carpathian Mountains in Western part of Ukraine. They are gorgeous and truly amazing for hiking or trekking. And they are completely free. Just take a map, compass/gps and go ahead to explore Ukrainian virgin forests.  It’s also free to camp anywhere you wish all over Carpathians. Forests and vallyes are full of mushrooms and berries which you can also collect for free (try it to do in UK, Germany and Norway 😉
  If you find them – you can stay for free in shepherd houses. They are designated for locals and tourist to shelter anyone who cannot reach home at some time/or who travels. Please check the best ways of exploring Carpathians here.
