Welcome to BUKOVYNA COGNITA, a website about Bukovyna land!

Why Cognita? In Latin "cognita" means "explored". But differently from terra incognita which, despite being a black box, is well-known to everyone Bukovyna could be more famous in the world. The aim of this website is to inform the global community of this land's opportunities and we'll do our best to become the fullest and the most informative resource in this field.

A little bit of guidance. The MAIN MENU is the most complete menu of this site with up to three-level submenus. Still, as a multilevel structure is sometimes hard to navigate we created "Bukovyna", "Chernivtsi" and "Sights & Tourism" menus. The first one gives information about Bukovyna as a whole - its history, culture, nature and geography. The second tells you about Chernivtsi, the administrative center of the area, a multinational city with old history and lots of interesting places. The third menu provides aggregate data to those who decided to experience Bukovyna's opportunities in the real life. The upper menu navigates to some basic pages of the website.

Should you have any comments or special wishes relating to this website, please, leave your comments in the Guestbook.

Below we give links to some sections providing basic data about Bukovyna opportunities. We hope you'll enjoy them!
