Rakhiv

Rakhiv lies in the upper Tisza valley, enclosed by the high ridges of the Eastern Carpathians. The town's history is rooted in the mountain country of Máramaros, where the valleys of the Black and White Tisza come together. Its foundation is traditionally dated to 1447, when the region formed part of the Hungarian kingdom. Forested slopes and narrow valleys shaped the settlements and routes of this upland district.
