Welcome to BUKOVYNA COGNITA, a website about the land of Bukovyna!
What is Cognita? In Latin "cognita" means "explored". But differently from the abstract terra incognita which, despite being a black box, has been heard by everyone, Bukovyna could be more famous in the world. The aim of this website is to spread the information on this land worldwide and we'll do our best to become the fullest and the most informative resource in and on this area.
Bukovyna is a real unique and magnificent land. It has passed through the times of the Moldovan Principality, Ottoman Empire, Austrian Empire, Russian Empire, Romania, USSR, and its Northern part is now part to the independent Ukraine. During all those times this land has retained its unique nature and culture, customs and traditions, thus keeping its mupltiple identity safe. People born here have become prominent figures of Austria, Germany, Romania, Russia and, naturally, Ukraine.
This land provides plenty of opportunities in numerous fields best described by the word unique. Its nature is unique for its beautiful forests and mountains, green fields and vivid flowers. Is culture has saturated the best features from all civilizations that collided here. The architecture of Chernivtsi, the actual capital of Bukovyna, is unique for its Barocco style, with the University building (former Residence of Bukovynian bishops erected by immortal Josef Hlavka) reckoned amongst the most beautiful educational buildings of the world. This land's tourism opportunities are nearly inexhaustible. The list of such uniquenesses could be continued but this page is too short to describe them all in detail, so our site's menue includes a really substantial number of other pages.
To navigate though the site, please, use our multilevel MENU items in the screen top (klicking on pluses of right-hand-side tab tips will help you open more detailed levels). This is mostly true for PC users. If you prefer mobile (including Android, iOS and Windows Phone-based) devices, click on the word NAVIGATION on the blue stripe in the top of your screen and menu items will drop down. Instead, you may prefer to scroll the screen down and click on some of the basic section links available in this page's bottom.
Should you have any comments or special wishes relating to this website, please, leave your comments in the Guestbook.
We hope you'll enjoy Bukovyna's opportunities, and not only on the Internet. Friend with us on Facebook, share us in social networking spaces, visit us in the real life!!!
