Synevyr lake was formed as a result of a powerful shift caused by the earthquake, about ten thousand years ago. Giant gorge that emerged at the same time was filled with water of three mountain streams. In a transparent and crystal clear water of the lake today feel great, rare species of fish like trout, rainbow and brook trout. At the bottom of the lake Synevyr there is a hole that serves as a natural regulator of water and thus the lake is not out of the banks, even during major floods. Shypit Waterfall is one of the most gorgeous waterfalls to be found in the scenic Zakarpattia region. This 14-meter high waterfall got its name from the Ukrainian word “whisper”, because the sound of fast falling water, similar to a murmur, is heard far from the falls. Even being located in an isolated place, the waterfall has become a famed attraction that tourists from Europe and Asia tend to visit every year.
