Mežhorje

Mezhorje lies in the Rika valley, enclosed by the forested ridges and high meadows of the Eastern Carpathians. The settlement was known as Volove and, in Hungarian, Ökörmező. A document of 1415 mentions it among the possessions of Hungarian landowners. Its river flows south through the mountain country towards Khust and the Tisza, linking this upland valley with the wider lands of Máramaros.
