Bukowina—also spelled Bukovina—is a historical region located on the northern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains, shared today by Romania and Ukraine. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, multicultural heritage, and beautifully painted monasteries, Bukowina remains one of Eastern Europe's hidden gems. Its name comes from the Slavic word *buk*, meaning “beech tree,” reflecting the dense forests that have shaped the region’s identity for centuries. https://bukowina.org.ua/
