Verkhovyna Raion (Ukrainian: Верховинський район|translit=Verxovyns'kyj rajon) is a raion (district) of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (region). The rural settlement of Verkhovyna is the administrative center of the raion. The raion was reinstated in 1966 (initially in 1939 as Zhabie Raion) out of the Kosiv Raion. Population:
On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast was reduced to six, however, the area of Verkhovyna Raion was essentially unchanged.[1] [2] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was
Both before and after 2020, the raion consisted of three hromadas:[3]
To the west of Verkhovyna Raion lies Zakarpattia Region, while to its east - Chernivtsi Region. To the northwest there lies the Nadvirna Raion and to the northeast - the Kosiv Raion. The biggest river, Cheremosh runs along the Chernivtsi Region and serves as the natural border. Most of the raion is covered with forest.
The raion is located at the extreme south of the Ivano-Frankivsk Region and has a 45km (28miles) state border with Romania along the Chyvchyn Ridge. Infrastructure in the raion is underdeveloped and it does not have rail or air connection due to its highland relief. On the other hand it is widely used for mountain tourism and hiking.
Among notable landmarks there is a regional museum of local history "Hutsulshchyna", abandoned Polish Astronomical Observatory Biały Słoń which is used for as a mountain shelter with a small search and rescue team.
The raion is divided into one urban hromada and 21 rural hromadas. It lies in the historical region of Pokuttia.
